Stop doomscrolling and focus on something positive, give your soul a break and breath for a moment.

I have a voice

I used it once
and was told
only speak when spoken to

I used it again
and was told
to shut up

I used it again
and was gaslit
into thinking I never spoke

I used it again
and was praised
for my bravery

I used it again
and again
until they finally listened

Seeing an awful lot of people sick with Covid right now.

Glad I wasn't at work today... Got a bunch of emergency alerts during the incident at the CDC. As a healthcare professional, this type of thing has been in the back of our minds for years. This sucks.

Man looks at camera with a slight grin in the foreground, white text reads "Me trying to live my best life". In the background a house is on fire, white text above it reads "my critically ill body", and a fireman is walking past the house in full gear.

My chronically ill body vs. me trying to live my best life 😵‍💫 #chronicillness #ME/CFS #longCOVID #invisibledisabilities

This made me giggle

Let’s talk about how we got to children starving to death in Gaza

A lot of people need to hear this

If you want to do better with word choices here are some suggestions. There’s been a big increase in the use of the ‘R’ word lately so let’s drown it out.

I'm not loving a country that pays its adults half as much to teach children to spell as it does to kidnap them.

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe.

Will we listen to his words today?

Dreaming of moving to the island of my ancestors, maybe selling souvenir aprons or something...

"transporting us beyond Seas for pretended offences"

Happy E'd Plebnista Day! Congress could learn a lot from Kirk here.

Also, Shatner should've gotten an Emmy for making a meal of this.

Are you celebrating?

Happy 4th of July, Batman.

Get bent... They act like disability is voluntary, and like Long COVID hasn't impacted millions of Americans. Disability doesn't discriminate.

I really hate the boom booms 🫩

Haven't felt patriotic in a long time and current events only make it feel worse...
