Rosie Lillie (friend of Dorothea) ✨

Where are my dyslexic #friendsofdorothea at because I was just singing “ roaring pennies throwing 20s in the pool” and I need to know how common this experience is 😂

Coming out of a brutal multi day vestibular migraine today and feeling like a baby deer discovering life

God those bubbles are hard when you grew up in poverty. I fully relate and found those bubbles to burst when I was unhoused for a couple years (one year of being housed on Dec 26!) and disability only made it worse. Solidarity friend

Right! It’s all wild. Borders by nature are violent and all the restrictions and qualifications are honestly wild. And you’re right, everything feels wrong these days

Same to you!! It doesn’t fix anything to connect over these struggles but it sure does feel better to have others who get it!!

The hard part about moving is that most countries won’t accept people with certain disabilities. My partner is from the UK so I had to chance to move there in 2021 and they are buying off the NHS for a system like ours😭😭 we ended up coming back bc of a visa issue(I can’t return for 10 years)

I’m so sorry that you are being overwhelmed by insurance costs! Not being able to keep up with bills is absolutely infuriating bc it’s the broken system, not you. 😤

It’s beyond words how ridiculous the price gauging is rn. I’m literally fundraising a 70k urgent life saving surgery that isn’t covered by any insurance in existence. (It’s the prosthetic that isn’t covered while I can get some of the hospital and surgeon fees covered- a separate 30k)🫠

Yes! Totally same! I also homeschool my kiddo which means random interruptions all day 🙃

Funny thing is that no matter which scenario, I don’t have any idea what I listened to

I don’t know why this doesn’t work for me. It’s like I hyperfocus into the chore/activity and have to keep rewinding or I totally forget what I’m supposed to be doing and will literally freeze while walking around and just listen until I snap out of it and realize what I’ve just been standing

Facts!!

Follow up Q: when using the audiobook, are you just sitting there listening or are you having it on while you do things? If it’s the latter, how do you pay attention? If it’s the former, halp ADHD! I can’t sit that long w/ nothing to look at or do

I went no contact with my mother in 2020 and it quite literally set me free. I thought the guilt would eat me up but every day I feel more secure and calm in my decision. I hope you are able to find that peace bc you deserve it!

Parenting win this week: kiddo singing Good Luck Babe while playing pokemon on their switch without messing up a single word

I hope that a year from now I look back and love how unhinged I was. I wanna confront the trauma that tampers me to be smaller. I want to be described as ‘relaxed chaos’ or ‘the loudest person you’ve ever seen’ (re: oppression, systemic failures, gender & medical care, & silly little thoughts)

This year I want to add something more tangible with community building by talking to the unhoused folks in our town and seeing if there is something I can commit to supplying them monthly. My hope is to get more of the community involved by the year’s end

Last year my only goal was to wave at people in the community more. It started off feeling awkward but now I’ve started having the most friendly interactions every time I go into town. I’ve felt more connection to humans and the spirit of community as a result and it was such a small thing to do

Love that!!! I’m so happy for you!☺️

Omg this reminds me of Stardust and the magic chain he ties to the star that came from the chain his mother had been captured with by a witch before he was born!

Rollators are so great!! I used one when my family and I went to Disneyland and it saved my life. I actually preferred it to the wheelchair I rented the first day because it was easier to get through crowds! I’m so happy you had a good experience too!! Did you name it? (I am a weirdo who names them)

Thank you for point this out!

This is the best description of bangs!

I hope someone with the funds can help you all! I reposted and will be happy to keep reposting every week! 🍉

My friend got me a Hirbawi keffiyeh (the last keffiyeh manufacturer left in Palestine) and it’s truly the most sacred thing I’ve owned😭

There totally is an app like that I’m sure! I just actually need to look for it and I will use some flimsy ADHD excuse here but I could totally do it instead of typing this reply😂 I would totally scroll more but I have chronic hand pain so that forces me to put the phone down🙃

A bear would never. 🙃

I struggled, I’m not gonna lie. Not so much with scrolling but with having no non social media app to edit videos. Which tells me if I can find a secondary video edit app I can afford, I would definitely be able to remove myself completely

“Algebraic manipulation” is a wild phrase when you’re so far off😂😂 we really drive them crazy don’t we? 💅
