So did the divine right of kings. Long covid class of March 2020, the kind with ME. Would like one more tattoo, minimum. She/her.

"The Trump administration on Friday night furthered its goals of eliminating diversity and equity in the military by firing the two members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff who were not white men", for example.

Writing advice; when you see another person is stuck on a project offer to interview them about it and take notes. You’ll hand them back a place to start or a thing they needed to dissolve a problem and next time when you’re stuck, they’ll know how to do it for you.

I work with BH and SUD peers, just feels like an obvious thing to build out for IACCs, like of course we should have that tier of support available.

There’s a boatload of politics there that don’t interest me except in self defense. But it does seem like it should be possible to build out a simple toolbox for peer support.

Laughing. I don’t, *don’t* want to do psych research on us but I do want to know even just in my own mind what that peer training would look like.

I have been thinking a lot about peer support for chronic illness and what the content would be, and what exists for MH and SUD that an IACC peer program could steal from/avoid/need to develop. That door in is different.

This is a thing I’d love to have mapped a little better, the process that gets your mind on board with the reality. I’ve seen a few good things but it does feel like “maybe there are drugs but good luck lol” while still curious/lesrning feels like the good spot to aim for.

I’m imagining it took years to get diagnosed. When she told me this I was only four months in. You saved me a lot, a *lot* of time in getting diagnosed but those first months in 2020, oof.

I still remember the bolt of pure hate I felt when an incredibly kind naturopath said “people who get these illnesses are never the same after.” She was SO kind. The pebble that kicked off an avalanche for me.

I was maybe 5. I didn’t put it together until right now, laughing.

…will say that I am always thinking about things like Canary Corps and now I’ll be thinking about what tools I’d want to work with people in that blind hell spot.

Oh god, you’re right.

There are more pressing topics that will matter to a bigger slice of us! Someday when things are a little… less, maybe.

This is a thing you taught me with your John Wick piece.

This affects too few of us for me to recommend it for this purpose but just me personally, I would love a talk on working with PEM. Maybe less strategies and more insights into the experience. Ways to have your own back emotionally.

One of my dear friend’s kids went to Warren Wilson after growing up here and is finding her way back to Asheville as an adult.

It’s no consolation for your loss but I truly believe it will stay an important weird place. Differently! But I think it will transform, not die and be bulldozed.

I’m so sorry. There was a declaration of exigency last spring and even with cuts they couldn’t make it work.

Northland is right to close, though it’s a heartbreak. Closing was on the table when I started there in 2003. It outlived the odds. But it’s a world of hurt to deliver to this tiny place, along with the federal devastation at the same time.
