May 16, 2025-- Concussion communication, diabetic debating, psychiatric sparring

 Shelter n dropin staff IMO should often be more sensitive than they often are to people who can't always communicate perfectly diplomatically n clearly with them.

Often it is that the clients cannot, not that they refuse. And refusal is rarely out of spite or malice or manipulation or hiding something. Staff need to somehow to stop assuming that!
Often it is medical issues. I witnessed this with a person with a concussion n a diabetic person having a low sugar episode n with a few having psychological or psychiatric issues. And psych issues or even physical ones combined with being provoked combined with staff taking the wrong side and/or antagonizing THEM is not a good combination.

Griselda-- talks about her autistic son or nephew but in a pathologizing n deficit-focused way despite knowing he is more than that... But my point is, he is even more than THAT.

Often about schizophrenia Triumph-- might have picked up my charger by accident or on purpose or just seen it in the wastebasket in the bathroom sta...

  Whenever someone here at the dropin spills coffee, tea or water on the floor, there is always the one person nearby who didn't witness the spill who thinks the substance is something else n tries to insist that the janitor come n clean it "properly" with the right disinfectants. LMAO.

May 15, 2025-- she lives rent free in a place that lives rent free in her head

  LOL. I think Persecution Complex Prunella is a bit embarrassed about sitting in the Crazies' Corner so she tries to either tack herself onto the end of the faux nerds' table or pretend she's just sitting in the Crazies' Corner to look after a woman who isn't all there n keep her company. When the one she pretends to be kinda babysitting isnt there n the nerds' table is full or other people are sitting at their table then she seems to go outside. I could be totally wrong about this tho. It is just a speculation based on very limited observation.
