May Sarton is one of my absolute favorite poets. I look forward to reading this journal she kept after her stroke. I find myself seeking out the writings of other survivors as inspiration to push through the rigors of recovery. β€οΈβπ©Ή

7 mths ago I was wheeled into my room at the rehab hospital on a gurney, and board transferred onto my bed. 6mths ago at my first PT appointment, I arrived in a wheelchair. Itβs frustrating as f*ck, but progress is steady.#strokesurvivor #learningtowalkagain #learningtowriteagain

Owls are back! I got this shot, but I wasnβt fast enough to get the shot of the 2nd Owl, wings fully extended flying toward me, with this owl photo-bombing.

One pernicious step after another, Bezos encroached on the Post editorial policy. Today he seized it fully. The old Washington Post is gone. I'll never write for it again as long as he's the owner.

Pink walking can in open doorway
Stroke Update Month Six: walking is consistently getting better. About a third of the time I walk without the cane. My gait looks like Frankenstein, but that should smooth out.

They are about 6mths old. A friend of mine looks after a feral cat colony, and the mother is a member. Kiki and Jiji are their names. They are so sweet. Their foster mom did a great job socializing them.

Trans Texans Are Under Attack (Again), but Advocates Arenβt Giving In
With another legislative session that could pile on even more anti-trans policies, LBGTQ+ groups grapple with how to protect their communities.
Hotline calls to organizations like the Trevor Project, a nonprofit organization aimed at preventing suicide in LGBTQ+ youth, increased by 700% after the election of President Trump. Anti-trans laws led to a 72% increase in suicide attempts in trans and nonbinary youth.
