It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Apparently, the scammers are casting a wide net. I just got an email threatening to release images of me doing things in my bedroom if I didn't pay them money. *laughs in #chronicillness and being freq. bedbound* Made an IC3 report, but thought others might enjoy a laugh.

We had Matty visiting for a bit today. I'm so excited that I got this cute shot of the two of them. πŸ₯° #dogsofbluesky #labrador #rescuedog #dogsky

I've been watching comfort shows lately. Two of my favorites are on Netflix: Lennox Hill and Emergency NYC. Dr. David Langer (a neurosurgeon featured in both) guideshis staff through a mindfulness exercise before they begin each surgery. I find myself doing the breathing exercise, too. 😁

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do. Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

My tarot card today was the Eight of Swords. Given my state, I'm not surprised. They all seem to be stuck in my head. #migraine #chronicillness #chronicpain #spooniesky #disabledsky

I had a really great visit with my pain doc this morning. He listened, validated me with recent choices, and reminded me that I know my body best and he supports my decisions. This is how medicine is practiced as a team. #chronicillness #chronicpain #spooniesky #disabledsky

I just sat and listened in on the telephonic Town Hall Congressman John Garamendi held for his constituents. I was only able to listen for about a ½ hr. The call was very doom and gloom, a rehashing of all the awful things that are going on, and repeated words of "Republicans are in control". 🧡

Today, I was able to walk in the backyard with Jackie. Given the stress and challenges of the past few weeks, this is a major win for me. #chronicillness #chronicpain #spooniesky #disabledsky #dogsofbluesky #rescuedog #labrador #dogsky

May those who are causing harm to people feel 3x the pain their actions caused. May this who gain wealth by causing harm to others lose their wealth and feel the hardship of poverty and loss. May the joy of the resistance cause those same people to be eaten up with their own rage. #witchsky 🧹

Chronic Illness hidden talents... I can put a Zofran under my tongue to dissolve and swallow a handful of pills at the same time. πŸ˜‚ #chronicillness #chronicpain #spooniesky #disabledsky #chronicillnesshumor

Jackie here, again. *sighs* It's hard being the caregiver-pup here. I've had to lay on her just to keep her in bed! Anyway, I hope you all are remembering to take care of yourselves. You're important to us fur-babies! 🐾🐾 πŸ’œ #dogsofbluesky #labrador #rescuedog #dogsky

In my case, it's been across multiple specialties. (And there's even been a seasoned ED doc who once came into the room saying, "I saw something on your CT I've never seen before!" #chronicillness #chronicpain #spooniesky #disabledsky #chronicillnesshumor

Hi Bluesky. I'm taking over Mama's account for a second. She's burned herself out with stress. I want to remind you all- like I told her- you're strong, times are tough, but you deserve joy and laughter and love. *gives kisses* 🐾 #dogsofbluesky #labrador #rescuedog #dogsky

I had an appt this morning with my amazing PCP. Earlier this week, I filled out the questionnaires they always have, including the #PHQ (for Depression). It's the one that asks you to rate a variety of symptoms over the past 2 weeks. Yeah, great timing. 🧡 1/

Jackie doesn't really believe in the concept of personal space. This is especially true at night. Right now, she's curled up against my legs. Earlier, she was using my hip for a pillow. And sometime during the night, it's probable we'll be trying to sleep in the same space. 😁 #dogsofbluesky

It's easy to be scared right now. That is what they want. Breathe. Trust in the community fighting. Trust in your ability to be creative and come up with solutions. Focus on one thing at a time. Find supports, even online. Seek out resources. (Reddit, Substack, here- great communities.)

It's winter and a bit chilly, so I can curl up under the covers and temporarily forget I deal with #dysautonomia. And then I stand up too fast. #LightsOut

The USAF removed Tuskegee Airmen & Women Airforce Service Pilots of WWII from basic training curriculum. For 30 years I promised these women I would not let them ever be forgotten again. We worked for decades to have them remembered. The Airmen too. Knowledge is power. πŸ—ƒοΈ www.msn.com/en-us/societ...
