Some vaccines like COVID and flu don’t stop completely stop infection.
But they do reduce the risk of getting infected and greatly reduce severe illness risk.
They are still worth getting.
Since they are not 100% effective it’s also wise to add another layer of protection by wearing a mask.

We’re calling for a Florida boycott over the inhumane “Alligator Alcatraz” detention site. Cancel your family vacation and choose a different destination this summer.

Learning to rest is crucial when you’re chronically ill.
If you try and play through the pain, you can permanently set back your baseline.
Make sure you remember to rest your brain and your body.
That crushing brain fog that feels like scrambled eggs in your head?
That’s a warning sign to rest

Disabled people aren’t “choosing” to be sick.
They can’t “try harder” to be well.
It’s not about how hard we fight or whether we want it bad enough.
Disability is not a moral failing.
Many of us were just like you, until we weren’t.
Its one of the only minority groups you can join at any time

Choosing to wear a mask is a radical act of kindness, resistance and community care.
It’s a simple yet profound way of saying “I care about my health and others”
In this time of rising fascism, survival is resistance. Refusing to treat anyone as expendable is resistance.
Masking is powerful

“Only sick kids die from covid/measles”
“Only the vulnerable need to worry”
“Just stay home”
“Your health is not my responsibility”
“How many comorbids did they have?”
These statements feed directly into fascism & eugenics.
Don’t make it easier for them to eliminate us. We aren’t expendable.

I love the visitors that come to my yard!
More types of bees than I've been able to show you, plus the little butterfly who didn't let me get close.
This right here is how I fill my cup. How do you fill yours?
