After today's vote, the sleeping pill I took at midnight never moved in. Took another half of one at 1:15. Still waiting for any effect.
#Insomniactivist
Almost 1am in Brooklyn and I can't tell if I'm on hour two of an intense hot flash, or if my A/C can't keep up with the heat wave.
Still don't feel the Trazedone I took 45mins ago.
Who has something fun to distract #insomniactivist from weather/NYC politics/existential dread?
It's 92 degrees in Brooklyn, we're on brink of potential nuclear war bec of an authoritarian madman grifter who turned the White House into a Tesla dealership, and I'm all out of ice cream/snacks so I can't even eat my feelings.
Anyone have anything funny or wholesome to distract #insomniactivist?
Up late, thinking about @jennpozner.bsky.social ‘s #insomniactivist posts and wondering how many are following me💙 #insomniactivism
There’s your hashtag🇺🇸
I’ll focus on insomiactivists in pack VIII
And swifties too
Random #insomniactivist Q: Where's your fave website for bulk tea that always arrives fresh?
I try not to give Bezos $. Only use Amazon rarely, if I can't buy locally (or reasonably online elsewhere).
Want a non-Amazon source for this specific decaf black tea (paper bags; in bulk). Must be fresh.
Aww, that makes me happy! I wanting to have more authentic conversations here on Bluesky.
Intelligence and non-algo news-sharing here feels happily 🐦 circa 2010 (thankfully!), but I haven't found much warmth & fun here yet. So I do an #Insomniactivist open convo 🧵 now & then to build community.
This is a punishing night to be an American of good conscience. So, let's have another, slightly earlier #insomniactivist 🧵: an open space for good faith conversation about media, journalism, TV/pop culture, comedy, feminism, anti-racism...more.
Happy to answer Qs or hear your thoughts below!
Random rec for ppl who need a laugh this weekend: Ronny Chieng’s new standup special on Netflix #insomniactivist (newbie q: do I have to include the hashtag if I’m replying to your thread?)
Anyone up for another #insomniactivist 🧵 tonight? As always, happy to answer questions, hear your thoughts, and chat about media, activism, comedy, and whatever else is on your mind.
Migraine for so many hours this afternoon/evening screwed with my sleep so much that my normal prescription sleep meds aren't working.

That thing where you're trying to be less awake, your sleep meds haven't kicked in, you see a ridiculously bad political take from someone who should know better... and have to stop yourself from ripping it in half because it's 12:30am and this is not going to help you wind down.
