Yuppie Disease (noun)
yuppie disease

Noun, British
1. informal any of a number of debilitating long-lasting viral disorders associated with stress, such as chronic fatigue syndrome, whose symptoms include muscle weakness, chronic tiredness, and depression

Origin: 1980s derisive term for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS)

Example Sentences
And I don’t know why it was viewed as a yuppie vaccine or why Lyme disease would be viewed as a yuppie disease.
From Slate

Now, years after the mysterious CFS gained notoriety as the "yuppie disease," the U.S.
From Time Magazine Archive

While CFS seems to strike young professionals with energetic life-styles particularly hard, CDC's Gunn says it was a mistake to label it a yuppie disease, since it affects "people of all ages, from all walks of life."

I got to talking with someone about strategies for eating while depressed. Most food advice is aimed at losing weight, not at making sure you consume enough fuel to stay alive and somewhat healthy when the thought of shopping or cooking or even eating is exhausting. So here are some ideas and resources...

In 1995 Tommy Lee Jones was at the height of his career and he'd have a smash hit 2-years later in 1997 with Men in Black.

Just think of how good a serious take on Two-Face would have been played by Tommy Lee Jones. Instead they wrote him like a second Joker, like why was Two-Face constantly giggling and laughing in the movie? Did the director/writer even know what Two-Face's character was supposed to be? Instead of a guy struggling with a split personality disorder he's instead giggling through the whole movie and smiling like dime-store dollar version of Joker.

It's just a waste of massive talent. Tommy Lee Jones would have killed it, KILLED it, if he got to play a really good version of Two-Face with some Harvey Dent mixed in.

This afternoon was the horseradish; tonight was the chocolate cake. At some point tomorrow, it'll be the lemon cake, and since we're leaving for Brooklyn early in the afternoon, it'll probably be first thing in the morning. It's less of a problem and more of an inconvenience. What's closer to a problem is my younger brother - hosting the Seder out in Brooklyn - doesn't yet know how many guests, and there's a discrepancy between when he told me we should show up and when my dad said we were told to arrive. I haven't voiced an opinion on any of this. I know it's not relevant. I've just asked questions I want answered, and I've made my peace with simply bringing the cake and the horseradish.

Each year, I relearn all over again how much that root doesn't want to be eaten. It drew first blood - I've got the bandage on my knuckle to prove it - and that helped push me onward to keep going until I'd gotten it down to the final nub. Then to do that again a couple more times. Weirdly, I'm looking forward to doing it again next year. Tricking myself into feeling like I've achieved catharsis from deep crying by forcibly exposing myself to raw horseradish fumes to get the crying done that way isn't a method I can use often, but once a year to prepare for the holiday is all right.

We made it to the end of March! \o/ If you have completed any of your short-term goals or subgoals, and/or you're still chugging away at your ongoing goals, then pat yourself on the back. You worked hard for that. We've also gotten through the first month of spring. If you're doing seasonal goals, you may have finished some from winter and starting working on new ones for spring.

I'm continuing to track goals at the end of each month. So far it seems to be helping, so that's encouraging. I'm looking at my goal list more often and trying to keep ticking off more of them.

These are the previous check in posts:

I think I mentioned that I got another plant light, not for the dahlias, but to replace the second light I wanted to give the dahlias. Fall is usually when I take stock of my plant lights, see which ones are still working and how much area they cover, and then if the weather stays warm long enough, run out of light anyway as I bring in more and more plants to overwinter inside.

(Relatedly, last fall when I was clearing one of the giant gourd vines from the dogwood garden, I found one of three succulents I had bought earlier in the year, planted, and largely forgot about. This one was still alive and I was sure it wasn't hardy to zone 6, let alone the 4-5 they tell you to plan for in areas with wet snow, so I dug it up and brought it in. It survived the winter handily and looks better now than it did then, which is frankly a surprise to me. But the great part is, a few days ago I was taking pictures of all the little sprouts in that garden and what did I find but two succulents coming back! I promised to return their friend as soon as it warms up enough.)

Then of course spring is when I realize I don't have enough light to start more plants, so here we are.

( dahlias and sprouts )

Also I rechecked every winter seed sowing container today and found one lupine and several yarrow sprouts ♥

PS, Daphne waiting on the stairs for me while I watered the dahlias. We'd just come inside so she's still wearing her little glowing collar that makes her more visible in the dark.

Watch for the upcoming event Three Weeks for Dreamwidth, running April 25-May 15. Folks post content only visible on Dreamwidth, and there are usually memes and other activities too. Mark your calendars!

This year I'm planning to focus on reading books to become an expert.

Two days ago it was 75F/23.8C and it's gone downhill from there! We're expecting two systems to come through in the next four days. They probably won't bring much snow (and it will melt quickly), but there's always the risk of being in'the sour spot' - freezing rain.

(sweet spot <--> sour spot, you see) (my recent coinage)

I took notes on what to write about today, but hey, I just did my budget and I think I deserve a rest. :-)

My new iPad brought with it a free 3 month trial of Apple TV. I've decided to accept the trial -- to watch Slow Horses. I very much doubt I'll continue the service after that.

Chapter 190: Oh geeze, Kuromu saying she was marrying Iruma and that's why she can't marry Gyari. Her poor manager.

Oh, Kuromu's feelings for Gyari are more complicated than I thought. It makes sense, Gyari was the only other one who could do the Hell Dance with her.

Chapter 191: Kalego and Balam seeing Iruma as an Evidol. 😂

Azz and Clara cheering for Irumaaa. 🥹 We got to see their reaction to Kuromu saying she was going to marry Irumi!!!

Chapter 192: Backstory for Kuromu and Gyari, they really were good together and they pushed each other to get better. Kuromu knew that if she became Gyari's though, Gyari wouldn't have anything to strive for since she put everything into Kuromu.

Chapter 193: Chima was trying so hard to get her cheer across that she accidentally lost them the match. 😭 Honestly think they should've started over or called a pause until the child was okay, not just lettingt Gyari keep going while Iruma's group had to protect her from them. 😠 But well they're demons, they're not fair.

Chapter 194: Kuromu's team dressed up to the nines to play the rock part!! Holy shit Iruma looks HOT. He almost looks like he's in devil mode again.

Chapter 195: He DID go evil mode omg I can't wait to hear this song in the anime. Everything is so gorgeous gaaah.

I could SLEEP last night, FINALLY, because some spring rainfall finally brought blessed, blessed, sinus relief. WHEW.

Tuesday, as usual, has been exceptionally busy. The ~~kids~~ students did well with the lab, though, which was great.

This is the best cartoon depiction for Ohm's Law, by the way: https://www.circuitbasics.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Ohms-Law-cartoon.jpg

Our lab involved characterizing/quantifying sodium transport rates across a tissue surface (frog skin, in this instance). Long story short, there's a method that can be used to "short circuit" the tissue, where the measured current will then be directly proportional to the rate of sodium transport. Handy!

It has taken me YEARS to figure out how to get this lab to run well. Thank goodness it now does.

But now, time for more sleep.

Hello, I exist, life's been busy and I've been tired.

1.
I read all of Witch Hat Atelier (up through ch94, for future!me's reference if I ever think to check), which means I have more than hit the point where it's like "oh! there's the part where this story is about trauma metaphors!". But also all the bits that make me cry are the bits about the kids talking about how much they've learned from their friends and how they can stay true to themselves and their dreams and how magic is for bringing joy and life to the world, so. The part of the Angsty White-Haired Man's life that's about him going "teaching is the most rewarding thing I ever could've done" is the part that interests me, not the "oh THAT'S how we're making visible the childhood trauma that defines you" part, y'know?

2.
Some more MOUSE (this fic does have a title, and eventually I will finish it)

[Rhei stands] next to Mouse, gazing at the city they’re moving away from. Its buildings are beautiful, it rises gracefully from the water, and it stands so proudly against the sky. Many of the rich and powerful of the city might have made ugly choices, and continue to make them, but the majority of its people are just that: people, doing their best in less than ideal circumstances.

And they look at Mouse, who made the bravest choice they could make, and who doesn’t seem to quite realise the enormity of what they have chosen and how rare it is to be able to do.

It is nothing like anything Rhei has ever done, a kind of choice Rhei doesn’t think they’ll ever need to make, and Mouse was willing to sacrifice their whole life for not a promise but a chance at something better.

Rhei can’t help but admire that.

3.
The weather is SO WEIRD this week? It's in the high 60s F every day EXCEPT Thursday, where it drops back down to MAYBE 40F at the highest, which is lower than the lows the rest of the week. It is also closer to NORMAL NEW ENGLAND EARLY SPRING than the high 60s F.

Today, at least, I have not had any headache from pressure changes! Which is nice, since yesterday I was grumbly about it and I have ever expectation that I'll be like "ughhhh" about it the rest of the week.

4.
Work is doing Bullshit, but when they tell us only the broad strokes of their plans for Bullshit and it mostly makes everyone go WTF, I will await further specifications about how exactly it'll manifest. (They want to go to short weeks. This is... them playing a game with what they're contracted for and how many hours they have available. I am very curious how many people are going to go "fine, lay me off then" instead.)

5.
I think it's very funny that I'm like "right, I should post, say hi, etc" on Trans Day of Visibility, a day that I keep forgetting that it is.

anyway hi I'm trans when I think it's useful to use that term, guess I'm visible today or something?

Spotlight on Omegas

Omegas are the glue that holds us all together, providing the essential social lubricant needed for our society to function—and yet they are often maligned and treated as lesser-than. This April, we are changing part of our logo to highlight omegas as part of our commitment to the inclusion and wellbeing of our omega volunteers and users.

We believe that visibility is important. As we post this, we're home to over 2,900 omega characters and counting. AO3 is one of the only spaces online where omegas are in the limelight, and we are proud to offer this safe space.

Volunteers at the OTW are never required to state their designations, though many choose to do so. Regardless of their decision or subgender, we aim to support our volunteers to the best of our ability; our policies on short breaks and hiatuses are written to help volunteers maintain their privacy and focus on their needs. Here are some words from our volunteers on the subject:

"As someone in a leadership position at the OTW I have always felt supported by my fellow volunteers in all matters relating to my designation. Going on break regularly is a non-issue because my alpha chair assistants hold down the nest without taking advantage of my absence, and the only comments I get from my committee are people asking whether I've had enough rest when I return." — Choux, Communications Chair (Ω)
"Everyone gets to shine as a volunteer here, because our diverse leadership brings invaluable insight. I’m proud to volunteer for the OTW, this being one of many reasons." — orphan_account, Support Volunteer (β)
"Fandom unites us in a way that transcends bounds. I’m incredibly proud to be a part of an organization that champions its volunteers regardless of subgender, with no tolerance for alpha posturing." — Tal, Tag Wrangling Supervisor (α)
"As an older omega, it is a rare thing to find a volunteer community so consistently supportive. Three years of service, and the whole OTW has always had my back." — Remi, OTW Tumblr Mod (Ω)

As part of this commitment, our Tag Wrangling Committee recently canonized several tags to better represent experiences had by people of all subgenders! Here are some our omega volunteers have chosen to highlight:

Finally, a word from our Board President:

Dear gentlebeings at AO3, on this serendipitous day of 2026, the Board of Directors are pleased to announce that:
All our volunteers have enjoyed perfect health of body, and tranquillity of mind; we don't feel the treachery or insecurity of omegas in heat, nor the possessiveness or aggression of alphas in ruts. We have no occasion of bribing, lubricating, or alphasplaining, to procure the favour of any great omega, or of their beta and alpha supporters. We don't need protection against dishonesty or oppression: there is neither insurance company to destroy our health, nor politician to ruin our equal rights movement; no reporter to watch our words and actions, or forge accusations against us for our designations.
Gracefully yours,
Anh Pham
President of the OTW Board of Directors (Ω)

Happy April Fools! On this day and every other day of the year, AO3 is proud to host all your efforts towards making omegas just that little bit more real! To celebrate, we've changed our site header superscript to "omega" instead of the usual "beta". If you’d like to learn more, you can visit the Fanlore article on the topic.

The Organization for Transformative Works is the non-profit parent organization of multiple projects including Archive of Our Own, Fanlore, Open Doors, OTW Legal Advocacy, and Transformative Works and Cultures. We are a fan-run, donor-supported organization staffed by volunteers. Find out more about us on our website.
