the last thing to come when one is healing from trauma is a thick skin...it does, finally come, however. it does. really it's not thick at all. it's porous and everything becomes clear and thus it's easier to move around the chaos and muck. clarity doesn't get rid of the muck! ...
I am healing the tardive dyskinesia, which for me, as a result of sustained, long-term mindful attention is clearly an infestation of muliple micro-organisms acting in concert via a highly complex biofilm. ... To call this monster within me a biofilm is highly problematic since most people don’t know what biofilm is and those who do imagine that anything referred to as a film must not be particularly significant. Instead, in truth, it is “biofilm” of some sort that is at the root of all illness. In my experience the TD colonizes every cell in the body, however and is far more complex than what anyone seems to understand. In tardive dyskinesia, these systems of micro-organism architecture that are being organized becomes a snaking, moving, morphing entity that slowly takes over the entire body. It defies the laws of physics as we currently understand them.
The immediate met with integrity takes care of all one can do. ....
In these times feel good stuff from brilliant poets really need to be challenged. I mean I love Rilke and agree with him in an absolute way, but when you get into a fascist reality controlling your government and world you need to consider all contexts.... I saw this on someone's timeline:
I'm starting to share responses to general trends I'm reading in social media. I don't partake much in social media anymore. Not like I used to, but I am still ghosting around and seeing what is happening on the front lines of thought in critical psych and social justice. Below are some of the responses I've had to common themes that I felt like sharing.
2025 smelling like 1984: It's been a while since I've done one of these posts with snippets of thoughts as they arise. Many get posted on social media first. Given the current political reality I've mostly been adjusting and hoping the contemplation comes to some fruition as I allow the acclimation process. So, really, I've... Continue Reading →

New study shows antipsychotic drugs can suppress the immune system. ~~ This article came up as a memory on Facebook. I never posted the following thoughts on the topic and am doing so now for the sake of those who wish to do more research. this is what I wrote (with some edits) and it remains true: yes, "antipsychotics" (neuroleptic pharmaceuticals) suppress the immune system. That is exactly what they do, and frankly, how they "work".
By Leaflin Lore Winecoff ~~ Civil disobedience and Dandelions... … are often on my mind. What does civil disobedience mean to you? Have you ever been confronted with a choice to do what is ethical, true …versus what is lawful, or profitable? Do you have the courage to choose what is ethical, when it goes against the grain? When it’s not the easy path? When it might cost you money or status? If it hasn’t happened yet, it might happen soon - be ready!
Chronic Lyme disease is not a homogeneous entity. The diagnosis is a distraction really and it doesn’t help a lot of people. Lyme is only given when one particular bacteria is present. The fact is, in long term chronic Lyme there are always multiple infections and generally parasites too in massive biofilm structures that take over the body. Of note: The Dyskinesia in Tardive Dyskinesia a diagnosis given to those with a common psych drug injury) is indistinguishable from some Dyskinesias that are part of some cases of "Lyme " disease. I've come to believe they are the same thing. The psych drug damage associated with TD creates opportunity for the systemic infections to ravage the lymph and nervous systems.
