I'm not into identity politics. GenX girll, Gulf Coast of MEXICO native, a wee punk,🐱 lady, science writer, behavioral health/drug policy SME, anti-prohibitionist, abolitionist, hanging on to hope. Incurably hetero (sadly)…no DMs.

So short-sighted of Texas to ban all THC. And I’m not gonna dis the compassionate care program, but it is far more expensive than other reputable and quality manufacturers like Hometown Hero, Trusted Canna Nurse, and Coastal CBD. Not everything being sold is unsafe. Legalize and regulate already!

I lost my 14 y/o Aussie to old age last August. Today, a tri-co 10 month old who looks just like him is visiting to see how he and Penny get along. Fingers crossed. I’m in love

Listen - if George Soros paid all 5M ppl to protest, just use your black hat hacker access to all of that data to provide receipts. If you can derail elections, you can surely source receipts for all these payments.

Mystery illness in Russia:
“One patient told SHOT that she began coughing blood five days into her illness. Despite testing for both influenza and Covid-19, her results were negative. Doctors reportedly noted similar symptoms across several patients but have not yet identified the pathogen.“
Mysterious virus in Russia causes severe illness and bloody coughing
A mysterious virus spreading in Russia is causing high fever and bloody coughing fits. Authorities have yet to confirm its identity as hospitals report growing cases.

One month ago I had delirious insomnia and when I spoke my speech felt extremely pressured. I thought I was hypnomanic, and it was distressing.

Nope.

It was just the irregular adrenaline and cortisol dumps that can happen with #POTS. It’s part of the #dysautonomia.

I think it’s weird that both the Galveston and San Angelo weather radio towers are down.

If they take my SS - that I’ve paid into for 35 years- then they can just consider any potential tax debts paid for the rest of my life.

Is there a discernible strategy? Like we’re working at the behest of Putin to take over 🇨🇦 🇬🇱🇵🇦, but also we want King Charles to buy us? But they already have Canada?…..?…?

One thing I’ve noticed about my #POTS is that iced #coffee doesn’t trigger a flare, but hot coffee does. No shade the iced coffee but what did I do in a past life to deserve this?

My kiddo is thinking of applying to Evergreen State-we also talked about South Puget Sound College first with an xfer to Evergreen. I’m nervous and scared but the pandemic and chronic illness interfered with his original plans for college. It’s time. I need help cutting the umbilical cord.

I have generally avoided traditional corporate broadcasting for almost a decade with 2 exceptions; local news meteorologists, and CBS Sunday Morning. I got in the habit of watching Sunday morning with my mama. So it became very special when she died. It has been harder to watch since October 2023

Found out today that a colleague and friend died. Brent Canode, you’ll be sorely missed.

Every time someone asserts that we chose this, it undermines the probability that the election was interfered with. Yes, there is a ROBUST faction who voted for this. And yes, we have to find a way to address the divide and rising hateful bigotry.
But be careful about conflating win with choice.
America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster. We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here.

It's easy to feel like we're giving up our country without a fight.

But don't be deceived by polls & media gaslighting. There is a groundswell of resistance rising. The "Fight Oligarchy" tour just packed 15K seats in AZ. We will take our country back

Goodnight friends. Keep the faith✊Get some rest

Did I already share? If not #Caturday Habibi toe tufts. Also, a #POTS flare #LongCovid thing I learned this week- a too-strong cup of coffee in the morning may lay me flat and unable to move in the afternoon.
Learned that on Wednesday. During a writing deadline.
