I love having over 2 decades of experience in professionally managing budgets and being constantly questioned about my competence by someone 10 years younger than me with zero experience

I fear I have run out of anger - I have no more energy to fight this losing battle. Hatred has won and I am simply too tired.

Mother’s Day makes me depressed. I lived as a completely ignored step mother for -years until the kid who was programmed to hate me cut all contact.

Spending my morning doing patient advocacy - this is something I have done lightly for over 15 years but was limited by my career for a good portion of that time. Now I can be as active as I want and it feels good.

A pediatrician and a Solid Gold Dancer. At the same time.

What!!! I want this of my own brain right this minute!

I don’t give a fuck about Christian holidays but I am seriously hoping this weekend means my brain can have a day off from the Nazi in Chief and his staff.

I’m with you there. All my flabbers have been ghasted to exhaustion.

I am so disappointed in this country. The alarms have been ringing for years and so many people say complacent and let fascism walk right in without a fight

I cried. Fleury is forever my goalie. He is forever a Penguin to me. 🖤

When it comes to it - I’m a Warsaw Ghetto uprising kind of Jew but that means I will probably die. I’m not a survive the Shoah Jew.

My Jewish family. My Polish Catholic family probably happily turned over any Jewish neighbors. They’ll probably turn me over too, since they support the current fascist regime.

It’s exhausting knowing that no matter how much I want to believe it won’t happen, no matter how much I fight it, I’m probably months away of being sent to a camp. My family escaped the Russian pograms just for the United States to finish the job.

Racist administration pushes racist propaganda and buries the non-racist reality.

My dad’s family is a Catholic. My aunt, hosts Easter every year. She is also a staunch Trump supporter, as are her in laws who also attend. My husband and I are not attending this year. Last year, they congregated to mock those of us who don’t think like them. She was surprised we’re not coming.

Tariffs make me unhappy for so many reasons but India makes most of our generic meds and that terrifies me

Torn paper strips in rainbow order - red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple - on a white card overlayed with an anatomical heart stamp in black ink.

I made new rainbow heart prints

This isn't Steven King's Twilight

No context. That’s the whole post.

The husband and I joke that we met in the nursing home so this tracks 😆

hEDS is an absolute bitch. I hate you suffer the constant pain too

I’m working on re-training my brain to remember that infusions make the productive days possible - so sitting in a chair hooked up to an IV may not be making money but it is a very very useful way to spend the day

I know this is cranky old lady of me because it’s Friday night but I’m exhausted and I work tomorrow. There’s kids playing football in the street, screaming at the top of their lungs. They do this every day if the weather is remotely nice. I just want to go to bed but the shouting keeps me awake.

I hate complaining about it because it’s so much worse when I can’t get this medication but I accomplished one thing today and only because it was something that absolutely could not wait. 😑 I know you understand that feeling so well

The absolute exhaustion that comes from flooding my body with anti-tnf is crippling. I am so grateful that this treatment works but man do I want to sleep all day.

Existential Dread and Creative Ideas Some artists, when faced with horror, immediately jump into creation. I am not one of them.

I wrote a little musing about the state of my world and my current creative state.

Every day I hope that Teddy Roosevelt will rise from the grave as a zombie to declare war against the current administration because they dared to mess with his national parks.

100% we need to change the narrative and support the people at the biggest risk 🖤

Look y'all I HATE RFK Jr as health secretary but can we STOP using his past heroin addiction as the most important reason to disqualify him from the position?

This rhetoric is only making it worse for the rest of the people in recovery. Increasingly stigma around addiction does no one any good.

I know I took my methotrexate yesterday because I had 4 times my normal amount of hair shed today 😭

I had a cyst on my foot drained at the end of last year and it’s already back. It hurts so I will need to go back to the podiatrist. He warned me that it’s possible it will eventually require surgical removal and that makes me so stressed. Selling art means being on my feet.
