Y’all. Wear your fucking masks. Taking a shower after a full day of work, making a slow cooker pot roast, and making the bed has me just fucking done.
Joanna has had a bloody nose for days.
We are TIRED.

Can tell how much BlueSky has grown by how many posts come up when I search "migraine." I used to be able to scroll a couple day's worth in minutes. Now, I'm lucky to get thru an hour's worth.
Depressing AF to know how many of us there are out there. I hope they find #MigraineChat if they want to.

This Bodega cat is a shoe in for employee of the month!

I know a lot of my followers are chronically ill or low on spoons - so I’m sharing this awesome initiative Bluesky has to ensure every photo/video has alt text
There are volunteers who will alt text for you if you’re unable!
Just use Alt4Me and someone will come help.
True community approach 😊

FURTHERMORE: some folks will kindly add alt text to posted images if the keyword Alt4Me is included in the post text or in the alt text field of the image. It might take a minute, but it'll get done.

"You're *still* going on about masking?" the ableds say.
Just like they said "you're *still* going on about your pain?"
"You're *still* having symptoms?"
"You're *still* using a cane?"
"You're *still* not working?"
"You're *still* taking that medication?"
"You're *still* not better?"

Follow Dawn! #SpoonieChat was the inspiration for #MigraineChat and it wouldn’t be what it is without her community as a model.
If #migraine isn’t specifically your thing, but another chronic illness/disability is, her community is incredibly welcoming. Let’s help it grow!

The #MigraineChat feed doesn't seem to be grabbing every post and I don't know why. It shouldn't be case sensitive or even require the #, but alas.
You can still check it the old fashioned way. Click the hashtag, then latest, and see posts in chronological order.
Hoping this is just a temp bug.

Today is transgender day of remembrance and I’m holding space for all of those who have passed.
I wanted to uplift a friends ask for mutual aid support as they navigate many health problems gofund.me/4c706ce9.
If there’s any mutual aid asks for my trans disabled friends please reply to this thread

This Question Mark Butterfly stopped by my yard last year. I'd never seen one like this before and mistook it for a leaf at first, just like their cammo intended.
