I fed the birds chia seeds but it was too hot for them last week so I swept the seeds off the porch. I didn't realize that the seeds were raw and would sprout! Now I've got hundreds of sprouted chia seeds growing in front of the house bc we've had rain I hope some animal wants them

Going back to get the labs today ☹️ After next week, not sure how traffic will be...Trump could declare marshall law or post military everywhere, there's no trusting what happens next in DC. But don't worry, the city will be drowning in drinks on the town tonight lol (I'll be safe at home)

The head of the department of homeland security announced that she planned to use military force to take over a democratically elected government in the state of California and we are arguing about whether a California Senator properly identified himself at the door.

I got a prescription renewal for Buspar at 10:45 at night via telehealth. Even with the world falling apart.

If anyone is interested in stipends for medical surveys (usually 5-10 dollars) or focus groups ($75-$200) , M3Global Research is legit. I've done some kidney & perimenopause surveys. Have been paid but not for a group yet. My referral link gives me 10$ if you sign up: m3gr.io/XJPZYLT/7916...

Any member of the "media" in that room should have said, "THAT IS SENATOR PADILLA! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?" And called her ass out right there. Until every last one of them had been thrown out. They did not...and that is one of our biggest problems.

A grand total of 160 people have been arrested for protesting in LA in almost an entire week! That requires 4,700 armed troops? Only when you're Chicken Little trying to manufacture a crisis.

Sen. Mark Kelly: "What happened today to Sen. Padilla was outrageous. It was violent. It's a scary thing to see happen in the United States of America...The Trump administration has arrested a mayor, a member of congress, and a labor leader...That is not who we are as a country."

People don't just hand these out to obscure identities or avoid tear gas. Disabled people really appreciate others who mask during protests and it makes it easier to go to protests. It keeps immunocompromised people safer. It helps keep all people safer. bsky.app/profile/nsla...

Reminder that seven Democratic senators voted to confirm Kristi Noem and six Dem senators declined to vote either way. She was confirmed, 59-34. The good faith experiment is clearly over, and we need the Democratic senators who didn't stand against her nomination to be loud as hell right now.

LOL a lot of people, esp those who are disabled or celebrating Pride this month, have been warning they're going to do this to us for a while. They told the SENATORs that eventually these guys would come for them The order of oppression doesn't matter. Stop the oppressors bsky.app/profile/gtco...

They are terrified that it WILL, which is why they comply in advance, always. Saddam Hussein killed his rivals to stoke fear and gain loyalty. But Trump doesn't even have to do that, because Republicans are mostly plain cowards. They're scared of harsh words. bsky.app/profile/dwor...

Yeah, this type of mocking of a disability/medical tool makes my day a little worse. Trump's problem isn't that he has a medical issue. It's that he's disappearing people. Medical issues aren't funny and a lot of people live with them. bsky.app/profile/xela...

We have lost all contact with our UNRWA colleagues in Gaza, communications have been cut off. This morning, for the first time in months, we did not receive their morning messages to say, "good morning" and "we are fine/alive". We anxiously await to hear from our colleagues.

This is the Administration that sought charges against a sitting Member of Congress for conduct that seems a whole lot less than what it is doing to a sitting Senator for no apparent reason. This on its face looks like an illegal seizure under the Fourth Amendment.

I didn't know I would have it, but I got some occipital nerve blocks and they seem to be helping. But when the lidocaine wears off, not sure how well the small steroid doses will work this time. I'm never optimistic anymore, but I really want to be Won't be quitting meds until Sept at earliest

Almost all doctor appointments are so far out that it's hard to know if things will get a lot worse or somehow miraculously resolve before them (doubtful)

"To think this nation would walk away from medical research. For God's sake...cancer, your budget requests a 38% cut to the National Cancer Institute"

Ugh, I have had trouble peeing since surgery and calling the urologist to get an appointment they ask you to state your problem. They only had two problems to choose from, neither which applied, so I told the appointment setter to just choose one and I'll explain when I get there

If you block all the MAGAs and then say your ableist insults are for the MAGAs, they're not hearing you and you're just being ableist.

It’s completely insane that US troops are illegally deployed to suppress domestic opposition and it’s not uniformly condemned by the press and political elite.

I'm skipping my labs bc it's just too intolerable. I lost my cute hat and have to use the hat I bought my husband lol that he doesn't even like. The labs are about my hormones and I'd wanted to go then do my neuro appt. I'm not supposed to get "too sweaty". I'll have to shower as soon as I get home
