I have no proof that tho this was the era of Mother's Little Helper that they thought to medicate some supposed DSM diagnosis or shut my mouth (didn't work at all lol). Up and up that dose went, even as I got medically sicker - and medicals outside psych often show up in behavior

I was already diagnosed with mortal illness and was not supposed to survive and have done so from the thought I'd not see out a week to this week, as I turn 60. I was given valium at 21 when I self reported feeling strange and kept feeling worse, and I just would not shut up.

I'm educated as well as having had hard life experiences - school and books and "unladylike" questions. I began to read about the concerns in #prescribedharm a few years ago and after nearly 40 years of daily benzos and use of other psych meds I was off of, made a decision.

The unfolding story however, is a testament of the hell we #prescribedharm folks are often duped into because of trust or faith in organized greed, burnout, misinformation and outright lies and manipulations.

This is a personal story involving the growing movement of human social and civil rights surrounding #medication and so-called "mental" health movement under #prescribedHarm - please know the result is not the goal for most but just for me as a complex palliative care patient.

#prescribedHarm ps I'm waiting for 5 hearts. It's a hell of a story, of an awful situation and a lot of hope nonetheless. I normally don't ask to speak (heh, famous for that) but this is very sensitive an issue indeed.

The World Wide Web in the mid 90s was small enough to be communicative in smaller groups. Concerned with Interop, compat, useful, meaningful, international, collaborative, social and technical growth. For us to have standards as people. Can it get better or are we all just stuck?

What's happening to my friends at certain large tech companies is heartbreaking. Often the best, hardest working, decades of experience, just gone. I want to start a revolution, I want to not use their tools, I feel we didn't see this coming during the Web Standards Movement.

I want to talk about 39 year benzo taper success. It is wholly relevant to #prescribedharm and complex care. However, the result is atypical due to my palliative care status. I am wholly aware we need this success. I do want to talk about it. May I? I will be clear as I am able.

Hey there - anyone else having trouble with log ins that are almost but not entirely suspicious? It could be my joy found recently in the lovely inaccessible impossible awful idea that is multifactor authentication. Or not. What say you?

mollyeholzschlag.bandcamp.co… No cheesecake yet but a lovely present from musician, pal, web guy too. My first pro recorded album of music, "Mysteries Involving Circles and Rings." First of 11 I'll drop this week. THX Greg Jagiello who digitally remastered from an old dusty cassette.

This is a question related not to your personal knowledge rather a global failure of communication.
What is the description that comes to mind of the term "palliative care"
There are no mistakes here this is just gathering of what has been poorly misrepresented.
Thanks ya! M

Since Twitter has a stinky musky odor I really am not here too much and it feels sad and wrong to the point I actually just stick with Facebook which is of itself bizarre. But the fam seems more intact. Adding another walled garden is really too exhausting. How do folks manage?

Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page, The Yardbirds, 1965. Jeff and Jimmy, with all love and respect, guitars and amps, and gratitude to my father's extraordinary love of all music, but especially early rock and roll, the endless gift he gave to me.youtube.com/5kKJ2BRGA5s

A very happy birthday to the Web's notable founding father of the Web Standards Movement. Happy birthday to our friend, colleague, mentor, and man who helped me personally experience the meaning of doing something good in this world for the sake of the many, Jeffrey @zeldman !

Love some other thoughts topic and logistics wise. This is an exercise of something I don't think happens much if at all. It's dangerous for some, scary. It's unity, not separation, and that is volatile. But it could be awesome if not interesting. :) Also, platform prefs? Zoom?

Any interest in our diversity/inclusion talks whether as presenter, moderator, peace keeper (heh) etc? I have a few ideas for topics mostly related to sub-groups of any subgroups, to get over this "Those people all are x" - LGBQT+, economy, language, literacy, etc. And worldwide.

I commit to writing a 20 minute presentation describing failures of inclusion and diversity in language, in this case related to how Jews both externally and internally are stuck. Please join with your perspectives. We'll schedule, then make it happen. Learning, not burning. xo
