A Black disabled household is in need of surviving this winter. They have no warm clothes or supplies to prepare, are maimed by COVID & food insecurity made worse by repeat unmet goals, utility shutoffs. Homelessness risk in midst of declining health. PLEASE spread this like! 🔥

Going without my POTS medication has been hell. I couldn't sleep because my heart rate was high, I could feel my heart beating, and I physically couldn't be still. My husband said even when I was asleep I was twitching and moving almost constantly.

I hurt so much all over from not enough sleep.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Is there a word or something for that feeling you get in your head when you have a fever, but your body temp isn't elevated?

My body confuses me.

I just had labs done on my thyroid. For the previous 2-3 work-ups on it my TSH was high, like 7+. Most recently everything was perfectly in range.

Then just now I had an ultrasound of my thyroid and the tech said it is small.

I've been told Hashimoto's can be like this. ???

I took my last POTS medication yesterday morning and I'll be running out of LDN in a couple days. Both meds are prescribed by a dr I have to pay OOP to see and haven't been able to see for a while now.

I'll ask my primary care dr if he can/will prescribe them (fingers crossed).

I guess I should ask my mom about all the super frugal things my grandmother did as a result of living through The Great Depression.
Japanese giant SoftBank said Tuesday it has sold its entire stake in tech giant Nvidia for $5.83 billion.

I'm back home from my appointment in Phoenix.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped me out financially! It made my trip possible!

I am beat, though. Spending all that time driving really messes up my neck & shoulders.

I have to go back in 3 weeks for a follow-up.

Please help with this?

Daily needs have pulled from the funds we've raised thus far.

Need about $500 to get to $0 after paying rent (assumes no late fees).

More to go toward survival would be greatly appreciated.

I need to find a meal replacement shake for my teen that they actually will drink.

Can anyone recommend any? Or am I better off mixing up my own for them?

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

While they’re still screwing about with SNAP, it’s a good idea to donate to pet shelters, too.

If you dare show up with “poor people shouldn’t have pets”, I will tear such a new one it generates a black hole.

Families on SNAP worry about not just feeding themselves but also their pets
With SNAP benefits going out late, nonprofits are begging for pet food donations to prevent desperate owners from surrendering their dogs and cats to animal shelters.

I actually need cat food. The container is down to the last bits & we only have 1 wet food serving left for Piper.

Bear requires a limited ingredient diet for his tummy.

I've added the dry cat food to the wishlist linked below if anyone feels so compelled to help

Folks, if you are hungry, please contact your local Sikh gurdwara. Or just show up for langar, which most gurdwaras do several times a week, for a free meal. Lots also do weekly or monthly drives giving out groceries.

No conversion necessary. Feeding anyone who is hungry is a key part of Sikhism.
A lady on TikTok has been calling churches pretending to be a mother with a baby who needs formula and several churches turned her away. But wouldn’t you know that when she called a Mosque (Islamic Center of Charlotte) they immediately said yes.
