Oodles' Headache Checklist

The most common causes for headaches at least for me are sinuses, migraines, and stress, so this is what this list will mainly cover mitigating. in my experience getting a headache also makes the things you need to do to stop the headache significantly harder, so aim for getting as much of the checklist done as you can and dont be afraid to try substitutions

- drink water. big one, can be hard to do so i recomend drinking a fluid of any kind or one that you really like. something with a little bit of electrolytes is also really helpful!

- eat food. try to avoid food with nitrates, ex: aged cheeses and meats, but if you know youre really hungry and need to eat its okay to have them

- take meds. dosage depends on what your body is comfortable with but i try to take a sinus/general pain med like advil or ibuprofen as well as a dose of flonase

- rinse nose, or shower. This one is most helpful if you know your headache is at least in part caused by allergies. Rinsing your nose with saltwater and a nettipot is really helpful but i know most people dont have that so you can also substitute it with a shower or steamy bath

- avoid light and sound: close curtains/blinds of your room or go to a dark or quiet room in your home. you can cover your face with a pillow, sleep mask, or blanket. in my experience sound is harder to account for so i recomend trying to find a quiet room and taking your aid against light with you there. If you have chronic headaches like i do i recomend getting blackout curtains for at least one room in your house (also blackout doesnt mean black curtains, just entirely opaque curtains. my blackout curtains are pink!)

- sleep. long term lack of sleep will give you headaches and sleep is the most effective way ive found for getting rid of them. even just laying in bed with your eyes closed trying to sleep can help if you can only do one thing on this checklist do this one. - strech your back and neck: overlooked often, really helpful! i will make a list of recommended stretches soon!

I was thinking of a pride art challenge people could do with their OCs, because I thought it'd be cute! A queer/trans artist with their creations.

but then I realised that same challenge would be infinitely more funny with folks who have atypical or horror OCs

might as well draw the other one at this point

the memeification of fascism is a proven method of perpetuating and instilling it in other people. Layers of irony will not protect you once you adopt racist, sexist, ableist, transphobic terminology into your lexicon. you'll be acknowledging and nursing the mindsets and connotations borne of those words.

One of the most common complaints about Star Trek I saw growing up was “why don’t they use the holodeck more? If you were living in that time period and you could just make anything you wanted anytime you wanted and live out fantasies forever, why aren’t more people addicted to the holodeck?”

And then generative ai was created.

And now I get it. I get why nobody on Star Trek spends all their free time in the holodeck. I get why all the crew are putting on stage plays, and holding music recitals, and building models, and playing poker. I get why everyone was so skeptical and mean to the Doctor on Voyager. I get why the ONE TIME we see someone obsessed with the holodeck it infringes on people’s likeness rights and permissions.

Because fundamentally at the end of the day we are human beings and we ENJOY working with our hands and making REAL human connections. A person who learns to play an instrument is always going to be viewed as an artist over someone who asks the computer to generate music for them.

Even as recent as Lower Decks they were making fun of the fact that the crew were putting on amateurish plays and holding music recitals. But after living with Ai for so long and seeing how detrimental it’s been to the world… I’d much rather watch my friends put on a stage play than “participate” in a holodeck movie.

What’s most amazing about this is that it was completely unintentional. I do not for one second think that the writers of the time in the 90’s were really thinking about the larger issues that generative ai and chatGTP would cause. How could they? Text to speech back then was still robotic as heck. More likely they wrote that stuff in because it was cheaper to film on sets the owned than try to build, film, or rent out different locations each week.

That’s the down to earth logistical real reason Data is reciting poems about his cat or Riker is in a play put on in ten forward. It’s just cheaper to do that than to build a whole new set or move production to a new location.

Yet at the end of the day, I think that unintentionally speaks to a very human need that ai is making more and more prevalent to us day in and day out.

And that’s the fact nobody wants to deal with generative SLOP.
