I added Ashwagandha to my routine in an effort to help my PMDD rage. I am not angry all the time, but I haven’t stopped crying in four days.

I know my grief wears an angry mask, but DAMN. This might be too much! Has this happened to anyone else?

Wegvoy is specifically for weight loss. Ozempic is for type 2 diabetes. Same active ingredient, different uses to avoid shortages.

But notice they only did it for the weight loss & not the type 2 diabetes…they truly are greedy bastards

Big Pharma Rant 😡

When an injectable is made into an oral form, the company will name it something different to avoid confusion. Wegvoy has decided to name both the injectable & tablet the same thing. Know why…to lengthen their patent on the injectable to slow generics…fuckem

Ever notice chr*stains are the only ones who feel it’s appropriate to make commercials about their religion?!? Shoving Jesus down everyone’s throats. It’s literally the only one

Disability is naturally human. We are more alike through our differences than we will ever be the same. Embrace difference instead of shaming difference into a norm that doesn’t actually exist.

I was a fan. I’ve been to their concert. But once I learned about all of the disgusting things that ma has used his power, money & privilege to get away with…how on earth can you continue to support them…

I can’t, again, trash behavior

Nick Carter is an abuser. Plenty of stories out there. Then, the other Backstreet Boys chose to ignore the survivors, saying Nicks “a great guy” 😏

Oh, & he allowed his brother to be ruthlessly tormented for believing the women which did lead to his OD.

Trash. Utter trash.

There is a daily mantrum coming out of the WH bc people are taking the opportunity to denounce the BS going on in the US

I mean, he’s not fooling the majority of people…we see him for what he is, a racist, bigoted hater

Truly, privilege like that needs to hear NO more often

I might be alone here but I think we really need to stop replaying injuries. Why is it necessary?!?! We know they got hurt, why continue to show it over & over

It just feels icky at this point

People who performed the Super Bowl & were NOT US citizens:

Rhianna. Shakira. Paul McCartney. U2. Shania Twain & Sting. The Weekend. Phil Collins. Gloria Estefan.

People who will perform at the Super Bowl & is a US citizen:

Bad Bunny.

Y’all are just racist & xenophobic.

Book List for White People This is a list of books ALL white people should read and none of the authors are white. To begin to deconstruct our racism, we must begin to learn from those who deal with such obstacles because white...

Link to the published list, also included links to each book for purchase. Tried to use author links instead of Amazon but older books it’s the only place I could find them

Felt it was the right time to share the list of books yt people need to read. All authors are nonwhite, mostly Black authors

In honor of Black History Month, pick up a book & read some actual history instead of relying on propaganda

Thank u to everyone who helped make this list

Black history is American history. This February may we celebrate the joy, acknowledge the struggles, and commit ourselves to building a world that reflects the justice and dignity Black history demands.

Jesus Christ. The "pivot" lasted about 15 minutes.

Arresting a black journalist under the Ku Klux Klan Act for covering a pro-immigration protest at a Christian nationalist church led by an ICE officer is the perfect encapsulation of this administration's authoritarianism, racism, and trolling.

Police have been spying on Black reporters and activists for years. I know because I’m one of them. Wendi C. Thomas learned during a police surveillance trial that the Memphis Police Department spied on her and three other journalists. Photo by

Of course, police have arrested Black and Brown journalists in the US too: Mumia Jamal, Evan Lambert, Omar Jimenez, Rosie Huang. They have also surveilled Journalists of Color. What's happening to Don Lemon is an escalation of authoritarian plays abroad & at home mlk50.com/2020/06/09/p...

Healing Together Conference | An Infinite Mind | International Organization Dedicated to DID An Infinite Mind hosts a national conference annually. If someone is looking for support for dissociative identity disorder, the Healing Together Conference will help.

I wish I could find a sponsor for this. It even starts on my birthday! I cannot afford $200 ... there is so little community for us.

In Mercy's Shadow: The Mercy Narrative in True Crime (Podcast) Vilissa Thompson on erasure, ableism, and the stories true crime refuses to tell.

The new episode of B*tch, Listen is out.

I talked with @vilissathompson.bsky.social—who's also developing the true crime podcast In Mercy's Shadow—about the "mercy" narrative, disability, and how systemic failures get ignored in stories about harm.

This conversation is worth your time.

Jean, a 41 year old Haitian asylum seeker, was abducted by ICE & died in their custody as medical care was withheld.

Jean's family describes him as a gentle & selfless soul, known for always helping with his hands & expecting nothing in return.

Please share & support his family through their loss.

Know what…George Floyd died almost 6 years ago now. White people decided for a split second & went back to your privilege. Then, you voted for what we are dealing with now. Two white people get killed & all of a sudden yall care again.

One word for that…racist

You know, it’s an honor & a privilege to be a medical professional/HCW, it’s not a right you have so when you bring bigoted or biased thinking into your dissemination of medical care, you decide some people are worth more/better care over others & that IS the problem

About a year ago I raised the alarm bc the state of FL was trying to get detailed prescription information from insurance companies…every single prescription filled in FL

Guess what reports say ICE is using…Medicaid/Medicare databases

I flat out said that shit was going no where good & here we are
