Just this week I took a shower and I paid some bills, so, sorry, still resting up - can't go to that concert today.

p.s.: anyway nobody at that concert will mask against viruses like one that gave me ME #MyalgicE two decades ago or one that gives people #LOongCOVID now.

It’s time for Speaker Johnson to cut the ridiculous excuses and do his job. Adelita Grijalva won an election more than 6 weeks ago, and she still hasn’t been sworn in to represent more than 800,000 Arizonans. Read her op-ed:
I was elected 6 weeks ago. Speaker Mike Johnson refuses to swear me in.
Speaker Mike Johnson refuses to swear me into office, an unprecedented and starkly undemocratic position that sets a very dangerous precedent.

If you make 130% of the federal poverty level, you qualify for SNAP.
A family of four, making $40,560, qualifies for SNAP benefits meaning thousands of Missouri teachers qualify.
I’m tired of the bullshit. Most of the people who receive snap benefits work.

i really resent the continued assertion that there’s so much anger on both sides, as if the causes of the anger are equally legitimate. we’re angry because masked maniacs are violently snatching our family and neighbors off the street, and they’re angry because we’re calling them out for it.

“Real Simple” must think I’m simple. They keep pushing me to buy tawdry gimcracks from Target and Amazon. Don’t worry, I won’t. But I will jab at my phone until I get rid of “Real Simple.”

Protesting prone or from home? You are not alone! Survival is an act of defiance. #MyalgicE #LongCovid #Housebound #Bedridden #Parkinsons #OutSick #ChronicPain #ChronicIllness #AcuteIllness #COVID #Flu #Fibro #MEcfs #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis We are here.
The first half focuses on creating a more accessible protest and the second half focuses on attending an in-person protest safely. Today's thread is focusing on in-person but first a reminder- you matter! Your survival matters.
Many actions can be taken from home, too!
