When I die I want my ashes flown into the sun, because that's apparently where we all came from.

That's right, you have to cremate me first AND fly me into the sun.

If it's not too much trouble.

Also, I'm not paying.

@ErinC18680233 @0xQuasark I shouldn't have taken it having schizophrenia. Had to listen to the voices and watch hallucinations for years afterwards as the antipsychotic didn't work anymore. Didn't even cross my mind that it was a bad idea. Worse thing I've ever done. Schizophrenia sucks.🙂

@0xQuasark It taught me:

HPPD is real. I miss the dark.
It can destroy your nerves. My muscles now vibrate and pull, all day long.

It has ruined my life, after taking it once.

I wish we were so advanced with technology that I could just implant a chip in my brain that let me press a button to transfer my experience to my doctor so they could feel what I was going through without me having to explain it.

doctor: "I don't want to prescribe benzodiazepines to you, even though you've been on them for over a decade, because they're addictive."

bottle store: "You spent over $20, would you like more of this other alcohol for half price?"

This crazy world we live in. 🤔

my thoughts before exercise: "Why should I bother doing exercise. Exercise is so hard. I don't wanna"

my thoughts immediately after exercise: "I feel so much better. I'm so glad I did that. There's so much to hope for in life"

I'm constantly amazed how often this happens. 🤔

Enjoy your New Year's and stay safe everyone. 🥳🎆

In light of trying to do better, I've been reading over some of my past posts and even deleted some of them as I felt they were disrespectful. I'm now not sure I did the right thing. I don't want to incite violence, nor do I want to be silenced by my own fears. Still changing.

You leave social media for a while, and then when you come back it's like a time capsule of pleasure and pain you're not sure you want to open. *covers eyes, kind of* 🫣

[Ryan Putland @rputland]

I hope you're all well. 🙂❤️

@DaveVescio That would depend on the planet, the type of waste & the existence of living organisms on said planet. This could be living organisms native to the planet or introduced by some other mechanism. We still aren't yet sure if there is or isn't life, in some form or another, on Mars.

@thenewstorm This is why I don't like the old adage "You should always trust your gut" because in my own personal experience, our own gut instincts can be exploited on levels that can be both inside & outside of our conscious awareness. I believe in always having a healthy dose of scepticism.

[Ryan Putland @rputland]

@thenewstorm At risk of sounding like I'll be diagnosed with some kind of conspiratorial thinking disorder of some kind, I don't personally believe it is possible to be certain that there is ever a total absence of brainwashing, tampering or other forms of interference with human behaviour.

[Ryan Putland @rputland]

@thenewstorm I can appreciate where you're coming from, but in my experience, people can often be completely unaware that they have either said something or that what they said was a lie. Truth & lies are often near impossible to distinguish between from an external observer's perspective.

@AddledPixie It could just be someone who had an overly optimistic view of the situation & we do need people like this in society. 🙃

[Ryan Putland @rputland]

@AddledPixie I reckon there are people out there that love clean sheet night so much that they ban sex or cuddling on clean sheet night.. & probably a lot of men & women who due to this, don't like clean sheet night nearly as much. 🤔

[Ryan Putland @rputland]

@CleverJames It took me far too many seconds to see what you did there & now I feel even more dumb now than I did before I read your tweet. 😐

[James Nathan @CleverJames]

Is there an anagram for open? Nope.

@AddledPixie This person is either terribly uneducated about autism, or is a troll, or both. I'm autistic & that would be like me celebrating that I'm autistic for the sole reason that I wasn't born with the disability of being neurotypical & stating that their differences were a "disease".😡
