Today I woke at 615 as usual and moved carefully to not bring on any activation/surge in nerve pain. I started the laudry and dishwasher and went outside to the museum lawn to try physio techniques to give myself a chance at less pain through the coming week. What's the point of insurance again?

Today I feel like telling stories, sharing what it's like to be in this body breaking on the left side-insurance not covering covered services blew me past my edge-3 hours on the phone w/ #Aetna & Bon Secours trying to get them to do their jobs put me in a state of derealization nerve pain on fire.

Mental Health professionals including myself are fielding anxiety about long game fascism, grief & acute traumatic stress responses to democracy functioning the way it has. Please commit to taking care of yourself, our collective physiology responds to each of us caring deeply for ourselves #therapy

Fascinating not fascinated by "fair trade" suddenly meaning equal tariffs. Could be used to address labor conditions/terms of Chinese workers. Leave the tariffs and only good allowed in the US are constructed using standard US labor laws. Minimum wage of 15 US dollars, overtime benefits breaks lunch

I aven't signed into IG & turned on my television in over a month. All social media apps are off my phone. I have so much time for everything that I need to do. The removal of apps was inspired by a client w/ ADHD whose been listening to "My ADHD Besties". Take it all back and start with your time.

Today #RVA #Richmond The slogan "This is what Democracy Looks Like" I recommend town square conversations about what it actually looks like. It's a lot more organized than parades and gatherings. It looks like year round running and backing everyday people for offices Put Gays and women in office

I have been enjoying this book of poetry for a year. These stanza were the first I read while fingering through the text before purchasing it. It's really beautiful and I'm glad to have it
