Wenzo: Weird thing is the mind is part of the body too   12:50am
Wenzo: Or brain anyway. Maybe that’s not the same as mind 🕯 ♥ 12:53am
coelacanth∅: we're defeating natural selection.
not really a good thing. 🕯 ♥ 12:55am

Sorry if I rambled too much. I think about this a lot.

↳ Fox @1:03

you did not ramble too much!
it's all so interesting   1:05am
Wenzo: Very interesting Fox, thanks so much for sharing! 🕯 ♥ 1:08am
coelacanth∅: upon hearing you say "good body" all i thought of was a *well-functioning* body. 1:08am
Fox:

↳ coelacanth∅ @1:08

Same. 1:10am
Fox: I saw Everything Everywhere All At Once a few times in the theater. It made me cry. I realized though, it wasn't the emotional parts of the film that brought me to tears, it was the ennui of lost potential. It was the dream of being able to tap into the self that never came to be. The ability to be physically capable and badass with a download.   1:12am

chinn:

↳ coelacanth∅ @1:08

I wish that was my reflexive take, but I'm honest enough to admit it's not. But...I'm a work in progress. ♥ 1:15am
J in LA: Not the normal time of day that I tune in. Fascinating conversations, quite thoughtful and reflective in a good way 🕯 ♥ 1:18am
chinn:

↳ Sluggo @1:12

Great recs, thanks Sluggo! ♥ 1:19am
pgalub: Hey chinn and everyone.   1:20am
Sluggo: The more I’ve investigated my own mind and body problems, the less I can delineate between the two. It just seems an arbitrary distinction at this point. 🕯 ♥ 1:22am
coelacanth∅:

↳ chinn @1:15

i would never claim i don't appreciate certain body-types over others, or deny that some people's bodies just turn me on!
i'm not even slightly ashamed of this.
...but i also have what i've for many years called "a wide range of perfect".

...i think it's a matter of terminology. having worked in various aspects of the health/healing field; and also having my own personal relationship with a body in pain 100% of the time, a "good" body has nothing to do with appearance.

1:23am
Fox:

↳ Sluggo @1:20

I keep trying to explain that to my psychiatrist. hah. 🕯 ♥ 1:23am
chinn:

↳ pgalub @1:19

chinn:

↳ Bryan the Interloper @1:29

Hello! I believe the phrase goes, "...than never" etc etc ♥ 1:33am
J in LA:

↳ coelacanth∅ @1:22

I would agree. What about a the bodies influence on a good mind? 1:33am
Fox:

↳ coelacanth∅ @1:25

Yeah, it's difficult because I am used to ignoring my body, so it helps to have mental symptoms to gauge so I can keep track of how my illness is manifesting.

And I get side effects. If they exist, I'll probably get em. It muddies the already murky water of my health.

1:36am
Fox:

↳ coelacanth∅ @1:22

I follow this chick on IG... she's had her intestine removed because her organs keep sliding out of place and crapping out. She's got daily fevers of over 100, is fed only through IV... and she's a fucking BRICK HOUSE. Girl's got GUNS. Her body, aside from the colostomy bag and IV port, is aesthetic perfection. 🕯 ♥ 1:37am

↳ J in LA @1:33

do you mean a physical ailment's psychological effect? 1:41am

J in LA:

↳ coelacanth∅ @1:37

All relationships. The body is merely a functioning symbiotic host Good, not good, indifferent. Certainly there is a relationship. I think Fox's comment answered my question. My body has issues, but these issues I believe have strengthened my mind. 🕯 ♥ 1:48am
Krüll Sagan: The gang is here! 🕯 ♥ 1:49am
coelacanth∅:

↳ Fox @1:33

damn . . . -i mean, i'm used to ignoring *the regular, daily* pain too; but i think my problems are possibly able to be cured if i could only have what some people would call super-human discipline.
(i don't know, no doctor has ever been able to tell me what's going on. but i think i know some things that'd help)

2 nights ago my niece told me how she got a "deep" blister gardening. it broke and her mother said pour alcohol in it. she said it was the worst pain she'd ever felt.
...and i'm thinking "that's a level of pain i routinely dismiss and go about my day".
...i imagine you could say at least as much; and so makes me sad.
i know your pain is intense, probably well-beyond what i've got, and i feel for you, and hope relief comes soon. (and not by way of death.)

coelacanth∅:

↳ Krüll Sagan @2:01

true, and even from a technical, measurable, perspective our bodies do not end at our skin. our energy fields are measurable several feet beyond what we generally see, and think is the extent of what we feel.
i think it's reasonable to assume our energies go far, far beyond what our instruments can measure. maybe miles. 🕯 ♥ 2:12am

Krüll Sagan: One wonders where on the planet Chinn hails from 2:20am
Fox:

↳ J in LA @1:48

But the brain is part of the body.

I find inspiration in Clive Wearing. He was a brilliant musician, had a freak fever, almost died, ended up with a 30 second memory, like Memento.

At first, he was in a perpetual panic. Constantly freaking out and "waking up" again and again.

But years passed with him in that state. And even though he still can't remember anything new, even though he can't really function in life, even though he lives in a constant untethered state.... he's grown to live with it.

He just... floats with it. Somehow, even though he can't make new memories, he psychologically learned to accept his fate and live.

I breathe now in Jersey City, NJ, reside often in Plainfield but hail from the bosom of the Plains, the direct center of the direct center, Oklahoma City. 2:24am
Fox:

↳ coelacanth∅ @1:49

It's funny, I had my lung punctured (twice actually), and I just popped half a pain killer and got on with my night. I went out to a show, went to a bar after, crashed with a friend, ran some errands, went food shopping, and only went to the hospital because a disabled online friend had me concerned about a blood clot.

My lung was mostly collapsed. Evidently it's supposed to be really painful? It's not much different than my normal back pain.

It's only when stuff like that happens that I realize my tare is set to insanity.

maybe it's true! (the last part) - and that (the first part) is what sometimes concerns me. that i (or you) might take lightly something that has a very serious consequence.   2:37am
Sluggo: Fox I know a guy who can’t form new memories because of a brain injury, and he is like a walking peace sign. The most chill serene dude you will ever meet, essentially assaulted into the present. It’s crazy where body trauma can take you.   2:37am
Sluggo: Any trauma really.. ♥ 2:42am

Fox:

↳ Sluggo @2:37

I mean, I used to be really sharp. I was a genius kid til Lyme Disease started around age 12. I went through a sudden spike in my freshman year of college. Got depressed. Got panic attacks. OCD kept me from leaving the dorm unless I matched right. Got lost on roads I used to know. Stopped being able to remember my right from my left. Dropped out of college. Went crosseyed. Started shoplifting. Neuropathy started to ravage.

I remember the feeling of trying to read the New York Times, trying to get through A Brief History of Time. I couldn't do it.

I never before had any limits to what my brain could figure out. I spent my 20's in a panicked rage, thinking I was going insane. Met by silence while my drawing hand grew clumsy, in electric numb pain. Feeling like Flowers for Algernon crossed with Whose Life is it Anyway. Got a brain fluid leak in my 30's and spent 8 years in near perpetual brain crushing headache.

Now I have diagnoses. Now I know it's real. It took decades of doctors and family's disbelief.

I can't make or keep plans. I can't remember most things. Most of my favorite things are a struggle.

So now... now I just clutch at every tiny joy.

Now I float.
