Gratitude Journal Day 3: Today I am thankful in advance for sensory tools! I live in the US and that means that for at least a few weeks around Independence Day, sudden explosions can happen at any time because people are dicks about fireworks. I'm autistic so my hearing is extremely sensitive, and it's hell on my PTSD. I've injured myself multiple times this week due to startle responses making me jump and slam into furniture. One firework was so loud and close that I had temporary hearing loss for a couple days.

But I *JUST* remembered that I have a pair of those fancy electronic hearing protection headphones from when I used to go to the shooting range! They're the kind that take batteries and make it so you can still hear people talking and things that are a reasonable volume, but they block out everything over a certain decibel level. They're not comfy, but I think they'll help a lot when things get especially loud tonight. Idk why I've never thought to try them for fireworks season before, but I'm grateful I have them on hand!

Our poor anxious kitty gets quite upset from the noise as well, and I'm glad my partner and I considered the potential stress effects on her heart condition and decided to try medicating her this year. I think breaking out some of her pre-vet visit gabapentin will go a long way in helping her be more comfortable and as a bonus, it makes her extra cuddly. We're planning to snuggle in bed together with some fidgets, snacks, and a good show, and just try to keep everybody as calm and comfortable as possible. I'll update this post if my idea about the electronic headphones works well, so that others can give them a try! Wish me luck, Tumblr.

Unpopular(?) opinion: I am not a fan of random people setting off fireworks. My autistic, PTSD, psychosis-experiencing brain is just so fucking exhausted, and it’s not even the actual 4th yet!!And I know I am not alone in that.

Heck, my dog is probably struggling even more than I am. She wants to sit directly on top of my feet at all times. (Which is a problem when I am in motion.)

I just need… a break? Maybe it’s time to invest in some noise canceling headphones. I wish they made something like that for dogs.

HOOOOLY SHIT!!! Okay this is long bit the craziest shit just happened and I gotta put it all somewhere so story time!

Basically Fourth of July is the fucking worst and people are INSANE!

God I really hate this fucking holiday. So much. It's nearly Independence Day here in the US (July 4th) which means everyone sets off fireworks in their front yards for a week. I hate it. They terrify my dog and I live in the fucking suburbs so an errant firework means my house could catch on fire. They're dangerous. They're loud. They're ILLEGAL. But it doesn't stop tons of asshole from buying profession grade fireworks every year.

Tonight they're going off around me. All directions but far enough away that its quiet enough that my dog can't hear them and my house is safe.

Until a giant explosion goes off in front of my fucking house.

Scared the SHIT out of me and now my dog is screaming in fear. Me, my family, and basically all of my neighbors ran outside to see who the fuck set if off. There's smoke everywhere but we can't tell who set it off.

But this one neighbor who lives across the street from me comes running out of his house, screaming and swearing. Shouting "WHO THE FUCK SET THAT OFF!! WHO THE FUCK WAS IT!!" He's starts threatening and keeps screaming and then he levels his accusations at my next door neighbor because the majority of the smoke is in front of his house (consequently it's also in front of his own house since they live directly across from each other.) All of my neighbors and us are like dude you need to chill out. We're upset too but this level of aggression is ridiculous. He just keeps yelling.

And this is even more ridiculous because my next door neighbor, someone we who have been here a while know very well and who has dogs and would never shoot off fireworks because he has a brain, he was literally pulling out of the driveway when it happened. And he starts telling the guy to calm down. Aggressive dude keeps yelling he's gonna call the cops and yadda yadda. Then goes inside. The rest of us are standing outside like "what the fuck!?" He then comes back out and yells some more and tries to get us all involved and we're like "we're not gonna fight with you dude! Calm down!"

Let's skip ahead. We're all back inside but keeping an eye on things from our front door. About 15 minutes later the girl who lives there pulls up and parks on the street. She sits there for like 5 minutes. Then aggressive dude comes out and yells something's I didn't catch and then yells at her for having the dog outside without a leash on. They go inside and leave the car on.

Oh but it's not over yet! Fast forward about 10 minutes. I'm still inside still trying to calm my dog down when a car pulls up in front of aggressive dudes house. Aggressive dude comes flying out of his house, pounds on the dudes window, screaming "DON'T YOU FUCKING COME BACK HERE! GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!" I watch this car then speed away. Less than a minute it's back, pulls up out front and the girl comes outside and hops in and they drive off.

WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON!

My two next door neighbors and us all gathers on our porch to chat and at first we thought that dude set it off but then me and neighbor M think it was the family about 4 houses down. M saw them last year setting off fireworks in the same area. Right under the street light. It was mostly likely them again and they ran when it went off and we all came outside. M also saw them standing in front of their house when we came out.

Anyways, this holiday is the fucking WORST and I wish I lived alone on an island.

fact: taking a long hot shower is the most effective way of making myself feel good and calm again after having anxiety/sensory overloads/depressive episodes

fact: firework sounds trigger my c-ptsd and give me intense anxiety

hypothesis: if i take a hot shower tonight WHILE the fireworks are happening, the shower will cancel out the trauma response and i'll be fine

conclusion: TBD, i will get back to you on this tonight

Fireworks are a selfish & destructive way to celebrate- So we had a different kind of lightshow, with some submersible lights in a hot spring ✨💕

It’s Memorial Day and you know what that means! Time to honor our veterans by shooting off fireworks in residential areas and triggering their PTSD! Support the troops!

I need song recs for my “trying not to have a meltdown because the neighbors are shooting fireworks at ungodly hours.” Playlist.

I’ll take literally anything. /nf (not forcing.)

I absolutely hate fireworks and firecrackers. One of them went off so close to my window that I got scared. I hope that the fireworks are going to go off in your hand and break your bones <3

(Niech ta pierdolona petarda wyjebie ci w dłoni debilu, który strzelał blisko mojego okna <333)

March 5, 2023 - Hundreds of forest defenders chased away police from a security post in Weelaunee Forest at the construction site of Cop City. The activists burned security and construction equipment and destroyed infrastructure. Thirty-five people were arrested by police, you can donate to the Atlanta Solidarity Fund to help them out.
