How The American Medical System Almost Killed Me

Just FYI: This post is very long, shocking, and personal. This is your warning.

I keep getting questions about why I'm in a wheelchair, why I have lupus, and I have never fully addressed them; so here you go: a complete explanation. It's a bit TL;DR, but if you think it's long to read it, imagine how long it was for me to live it.

From The Beginning:

When I was 15 years old, in 1995, I was diagnosed with systemic lupus. Lupus is a disease in which the immune system malfunctions, becomes confused, and begins attacking the body instead of doing what it's supposed to do, which is to attack infections and viruses. When lupus flares, the immune system can choose to attack almost anything in the body. My immune system first targeted my blood system. When I was 17, I was hospitalized for 3... more »

WALL\THERAPY Indiegogo campaign - Print by Mr. PRVRT

http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/wall-therapy-2013-fundraiser

WALL\THERAPY [wawl.ther-uh-pee] noun – a public community-level intervention using mural art as a vehicle to address our collective need for inspiration.

WALL\THERAPY Campaign [wawl.ther-uh-pee kam-ˈpān ] noun – A heartfelt request from the WALL\THERAPY team to help raise funds to create an even bigger and better event for 2013.  Your donations will go toward the support of local and international artists to produce visually compelling murals in the Rochester cityscape, which in turn improves and strengthens our thriving community.

I know some of the folks involved with this project and the artwork they have produced over the last two summers has been incredible. I can’t think of a single art project more worthy of support.

Want to boost your memory and mood? Take a nap, but keep it short - up to 20 minutes. 

A brief nap can not only reduce sleepiness but also improve cognitive functioning and psychomotor performance (the brain telling the body to move). A few minutes of shut-eye also considerably enhances short-term memory and mood.

Brief naps taken in the early afternoon, at about 2pm, have a greater recuperative value than when taken at any other time of the day.

While the anxiety issues are only slightly better, I still want to move forward. I'm not a 100% sure what my body and soul is trying to tell me with it, yet I have a huge need to not be passive. That means that I will try a small todo list this week. Things I already knew I would try to accomplish, but to help me remember then easier.

None of it is set in stone, it's more of a general guideline.

Wish me luck!

Microdonations with Flattr

I just linked my Instagram, Flickr and YouTube accounts to +Flattr   Flattr allows you to make microdonations to any of my content you like or favorite on those services. I’m trying it out as an experiment and would love your support. You can sign up for an account and find out more at their website: https://flattr.com/

You can find me on Instagram: http://instagram.com/timclary
Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/timclary/
and YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/user/CLARYTP

I use Instagram to post sketches as well as photos of my various travels (For example, you can see a bunch of shots from my 500+ mile bike ride down the coast of California last year). On Flickr you’ll find a giant reservoir of my art dating back to 2002. Youtube...well, there's not much there so far, but feel free to check it out.

In my continued experiment with +Flattr, I stumbled on a page that shows unclaimed flattrs (that means microdonations that have been made to artists who are not yet using the service). This is free money for these folks! +Thomas Hawk, +Lotus Carroll were the first names that jumped out at me, but I am sure many active plussers could benefit from checking this out.

Marriage is just for procreation you say?

Don't worry guys - God's pretty crafty and will figure something out if he has to. Frankly it shocks me that people can't hear the absurdity of what they suggest. All it takes it looking at a situation from a new perspective to see that these one-line "God will..." quotes are pretty frickin' inclusive. While I'm sure some people will continue to think that marriage is only about procreation, I'm happy to see the definition of family evolving in the majority of people. Can't stop progress.... :)

Having been a 'male' programmer and now a female one, I can definitely agree with this article. It's amazing how much gender seems to matter in an area where it's only about your brain, not which genitals you have.

Back when I was supposedly male people around me seemed to find it normal for me to be intelligent, technical and capable. After changing gender roles, suddenly people seem amazed that I'm not an emotionally insecure, non-technical person, only thinking about make-up and making little babies.

The article also underlines the need to be just 'really good' at what we do as female programmers to show that we are capable. Just toughing it out, even when some dirty old guy is telling you how pretty you look and touching you a few times too often.

It's okay to take a shower after such a horrible experience, though :)

I'm currently experiencing first hand the concept of internet bubbles.

My last blog post is scoring really well on Reddit (quickly making the frontpage of the Futurology subreddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/Futurology/comments/1ej0n6/the_fight_for_eclothing/ )


But, at the same time, the post is nearly not shared on twitter, G+ or Facebook and it has received very few flattrs.


A few weeks ago, I experienced the opposite : a blog post very quickly got to 20 flattrs but without many Facebook/Twitter/G+ sharing.

It really looks like different tools are used by a different category of people with very few interaction.

Okay, so I'm trying fullscreen on my bigger monitor. I get 3 columns now. But enough "grey space" for 4... Unfortunate? 
at least the 2 column looks better in my "normal sized" window on this one, rather than the wide screen on the 11" ... 

Take some getting used to.
