Thank you! I’m on a broader diet these days where it’s less of a catastrophe and more of an inconvenience when a safe food is sold out everywhere, for which I’m grateful. But damn why did everyone have to decide they like MY pickles lol

It's a real dilemma for me when I'm confronted with a moral issue that wasn't examined by the writers of the original Star Trek.

And then the people trying breathlessly explain why they dont mask or take protocols anymore all the while trying to tout community care and mutual aid as a personality.

I knew we were cooked as a society when everyone just sorta decided they were sick of dealing with Covid and everyone just decided to pretend like it wasn't a thing anymore.

I thought I had three different eczema outbreaks.

Turns out it’s only two different eczema outbreaks, plus shingles! πŸ™ƒ Again!

I first had it in summer 2020. Feels like my body loves to deal with stress by waking up my ole pal Varicella-Zoster.

A bright illustration of Patty Berne,a Japanese-Haitian person with light brown skin, who smiles playfully with love and light shining from their brown eyes. They wear an off the shoulder opalescent blue dress and an amethyst pendant. Their brown hair is pulled back into their signature two buns. Behind Patty is a pink background with radiant red and yellow flowers. At the top of the image, iridescent capital letters spell out β€œPATTY LIVES THROUGH US.” On the bottom right corner is Sins Invalid’s logo, a black rectangular box with white letters that read β€œSins Invalid.”

Sad to hear of the passing of #DisabilityJustice activist and visionary Patty Berne.

#SinsInvalid reminds us: β€œAs we grieve, please care for each other in the ways Patty taught us:

Check in on a friend.
Cook a meal.
Support someone at the edge.
Practice Disability Justice in real time.”

"Do your best" means "Do your best that doesn't compromise your mental, physical, or psychosocial health."

Give it 100% of your expendable resources
Not 100% of your blood sweat tears

ok be safe out there

If you don’t mind me asking a follow-up, what does the cymbalta do for you?

Anyone in #NEISvoid with #Sjogrens have experience with cymbalta for neuropathic pain?

Just got the rx (trying this in lieu of gabapentin because your girl can’t be an iota sleepier and still function) and nervous about throwing more meds on the fire, per usual. 😬

WashU’s #longcovid clinic is closing in a few weeks.

Rumors that it’s bc the main attending is leaving, but there aren’t any MDs listed on the Infectious Diseases webpage anymore (and the clinic was hosted within that department).

The Big Erasing continues, I guess.

and please mask at protests and in organizing spaces. disabled people deserve access to those spaces without facing undo risk from our comrades, and this is probably not going to be a short fight and we need to keep each other healthy. long covid will greatly reduce your ability to organize.

yall the people in the streets need the folks at home too. they need people who know where they are, who will miss them, & who can bail them out. they need food, water, medical care. safe places to shelter. some of us aren’t built for physical resistance but that doesn’t mean you’re out of the fight
