My nine day old son, Rowan, died in my arms in 2004. I've okay, now, for the most part. But this time of year is rough. I call it "Rowan-Time." Today I feel like this horse trying to make my way through mud and my body only remembers the trauma of that time. #Grief #ChildLoss #InfantLoss

Just make sure you step away, move your body, breathe fresh air, take off your shoes and feel the earth beneath you, and make some noise--more than once in a while. #InternetRage

In the case that 1 of my 17 followers has been following my posts about Waldport, Oregon's mayor, Heide Lambert, and have been waaaaaaaaiiiiiiiting for me to update...Mayor Lambert was permanently reinstated to her seat at the dais!
IMHO, they are still unwelcoming of the mayor (to say the least).

#LGBTQIA+ #PRIDE is about celebrating who we are and our right to exist without fear of persecution. So instead of wondering why there isn't a Straight-Pride movement, take a moment and be thankful that you are fortunate enough not to need one.

Waldport City Council's President, Greg Dunn, is working hard to defame Mayor Heide Lambert by using the operative complaint in a law suit against a neighboring town, after the mentions of Lambert in that case were dismissed.

My post, here, explains this further: www.facebook.com/share/p/1ALW...

Appreciate this story about Waldport, Oregon's dysfunctional city council voting to dismiss the community's newly elected Mayor Heide Lambert. I'm deeply embroiled in this situation. #Oregon #OregonCoast #WaldportOregon #Unconstitutional

Feeling all the feels after reading about the impending death of a social-media acquaintance’s beloved dog. The end-of-life decisions we make for our beloved animals are next-to-impossible. Yet, it is the
L❤️VE and respect we have for them that gives us the strength to carry the burden. #PetLoss

WARNING: this might be trauma activating.
There is a gift in the holding, and not everyone who loses their child is given that opportunity.

Important message from @aoc.bsky.social! Did you know the Current DOJ is investigating her. Trying to ward off her running for POTUS, perhaps? Keep on AOC! Lead!
Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

I realize those we elect to serve the public are only human, and not immune to family dysfunction, physical illness, and/or psychological vulnerabilities. Yet, now is the time for strength among those who are in powerful, leadership positions—especially those we’ve elected to Congress.

My heart is willing to take a risk at loving a pup again. 20 days ago Benny kind of fell into our care. He is said to be a Yorkipoo. Nearly 5 months old. Clean bill of health with some weird deviations (just like the rest of us). We are back to being a 3-dog family.

So very sorry for everyone experiencing the loss and trauma resulting from the tragic plane & helicopter collision in DC. This is devastating. #planecrashdc #planecrash #americanairlinescrash

Many of us are concerned & passionate about the state of things & using social media to inform ourselves & participate in activism. Often, though, we lose our sense of direction & get hooked by the drama. REMINDER: Our #MentalHealth depends on getting "off the line" once in a while. #NeuroPsychology
