Years ago a coworker asked for a book recommendation, and I said Infinite Jest. Guy didn't go past the first pages, confronted me about the word "webbing", asking how he was supposed to know about that. He went on to say he asked professors in Italy who agreed this book should not be read. I didn't get reported to HR for it (not sure, actually), but he called it abuse, and he didn't read much of it

An artist lives with me as you know. Both mixed media & music.

She's been working on a hard goods piece based around the words. "and yet she persisted"

Considering the very serious medical issues she is currently dealing with, those words mean everything.

Hello, Brian in UK. I've had scintillating scotoma. It's also known as an ocular migraine. It's been a while since I've had one, but I had my share of them. I would get them when fatigued or my vision prescription was out of date. I've had a couple of brain MRIs too to rule out anything nefarious. I even tried meds once, but it left me even more exhausted than the ocular migraine would have if it ran its course. I also have optic neuritis. Take care of yourself.

the thought originally came up in a discussion about 'anticipatory aesthetics'. my thought was that types of emptiness set the table for new things to arise, in malevich's case it was history and revolution that filled the void and with cage it was phenomenolgy and 60's counterculture. this is a bit of a reach

I read recently in of all places Peter Frampton's book, "Do you feel like I do," that he suffered badly from them for years until he was seen & was treated with oxygen saturation, by again of all people actress Lisa Kudrow's Dad who is a doctor.

Peter has either carried oxygen or made sure he had it available to him on all of his tours since his diagnosis & treatment.

I tried various trypins, only good one was Topiramate. stopped taking it now. Less frequent since retiring. Unsure if that is relevant.
Starts with minor visual impairment, last about twenty minutes then is gone. No headache but a little ache in the head. Sometimes feel deflated later in the day.

His were episodes that lasted for 3 months each year for 9 years & he could set his watch to their onset. Debilitating, frightening.

Careful with those hemp-derived supplements. There is little to no regulation regarding production and safety. Most of it is snake oil. CBD is really the only hemp cannabinoid that works. The rest are ineffective unless they're derived from cannabis due to the entourage effect of all the cannabinoids working in unison

Alliant Hemp, CBDistillery, and Bluebird Botanicals make great CBD oil

Yes! The problem both legal and black market consumers are facing now is sprayed weed. Dispensaries have "house flower" that is significantly cheaper. Due to not enough regulation. They'll grow low grade moldy cannabis, spray it with naturally derived terpenes (what makes plants smell), and try to pass it off as quality. The terp spray isn't necessarily dangerous, it's just trying to polish a turd. You can tell it's been sprayed due to the artificial nature of the scent and the little alcohol tinge that leaves a nasty aftertaste on the tongue after consumption
