Chronically ill and neurodivergent. If we're cool, you might've known me on The Bird Place as LmnStlngWhr 🍋

Here to scream about injustice, try to organize, send love & positivity, and also be funny sometimes.

Let's fuckin go
CF clinic appointment went decently today.
I love the doctor I saw. He was the one that met me in the ER when my first CF doc ignored my pleuritic chest pain & told me I was having anxiety or heartburn when I knew something was wrong. He really saw me at my worst, right before switching to this team

If cuts to Medicaid go through and my state cuts me off as well, I'm going to have to ration my medications.

And if I have to ration my medications, I do not know how long I'll be able to manage. If I get sick with anything and get an infection, I may end up dying.

Something you can do to stand against RFK jr’s attempt to make us all sicker is wear a mask when you share air with others. Resist mask bans. People who cannot afford to get sick have a right to exist in public. Masking will protect your health from him too.
BREAKING: RFK Jr. was just confirmed HHS Secretary 48-52.

Now would be a very good time to start wearing a mask again if you stopped 😷
Another insider says their hospital is now subtyping flu A cases, testing for H1N1 and H3 first—if negative, samples go straight to the state lab for H5 (bird flu) testing.

Why are they testing flu A patients for bird flu?

Why is no one talking about this?

I know there's been years of disinfo downplaying the flu in order to dismiss COVID as a threat, but both things cause serious illness and are best avoided. This flu wave is no joke. It's a good idea to get this season's flu vaccine (it's not too late), and wear a well-fitting mask like an N95.

The Treat I've decided to go with for what refund I am getting is a haircut. And perhaps... Some blue semipermanent dye.

I miss my curtain bangs dammit
I'd welcome the opportunity to be wrong about this, I'll keep a lil hope in this here mind, but I have to be realistic and prepared to put whatever I do get towards my rent.

Wear a mask. That's step 1 in civil disobedience

Criminalizing masks makes public spaces less safe for disabled people. It pushes us further into the shadows

The powers that be don’t want us to be visible. They don’t want a reminder that Covid is still a threat

Wear a mask in solidarity. Tell the government that the vulnerable are not expendable

I used to have a yellow Instax mini... I can't remember which number. I miss it so much. I don't know what happened to it.

No matter what the feds say, it is still #BlackHistoryMonth and you should materially support Black artists, thinkers, activists, content creators, businesses, etc, extra - even more than before, one would argue, as they are trying to erase our relevance and history.

20/120

#Helpsky

Getting this help would really reduce my anxiety.

If you're able to help, wonderful, but if not, sharing to hopefully reach people who can would really be helpful too.

Thank you
So, I forgot that I'm waiting on a new debit card, so I can't exactly access what savings I have at the moment. I actually could use some help sooner rather than later so I can get laundry sanitizer and be a little more comfortable, bills-wise. I'm hoping for $120

“…no amount of posting or passive info consumption is going to substitute the hard, unsexy work of organizing”

I would argue that sick & disabled folks have used social media to organize and mobilize. Some of us can’t protest in the streets or meet in person but we made a difference

I've missed a few posts that should've had alt text. @bsky.app is there a way to add alt text after posting? If not, would love for that to be added

I have a long way to go, concerning mugs. Just used this for a little cup of tea, and it's too thin up top. It's also just too small.

I'm not shit talking or shaming myself, just noticing what I can improve.

I'm so proud of the pulled handle, with great joins.
Day 4: a new lil mug I just picked up!
