this is probably one i'm most proud of. back in 2015, some of us were asking the questions that could've made things diff today.

They are the questions left behind for the living–the traumatized, the heart broken, the betrayed. Who are we? Who do we want to be?

Republicans want to kill the post office and the media is there for it, which is why you have never seen a news story about how the police department has never turned a profit and is a waste

I’m still severely overdue and I’m going to get my car repoed if I don’t pay. Late fees keep climbing and I’m drowning ;;

This kind of advice is literally deadly.

As a Christmas treat, how about non-disabled people listen to and respect disabled people when we express our limits.
Tonight someone told me that if flares are random and happen despite my best efforts, I should take more risks & push my body more.

This is not how disability works.

Our baselines mean everything to us.

The unpredictable flares are devastating.

Pushing is never the answer.

I’m back after a 3 day suspension for sharing a link to publicly available police reports exposing Blood Tribe nazis. They also removed the post. Bluesky evidently prioritizes the protection of literal, active nazis over community safety. Unfortunately for BT, they’re already in the sunlight now :)

No I refuse to coddle white people. Stop asking that of us on top of us already having to bear the brunt of the worst in society. If they don’t want it straight up, they can go over there & be alienated & stay racist. I spit on the idea of holding somebody’s hand not to harm me.
Phrases like "relinquish whiteness" turn people away from liberatory movements. Think about what that sounds like to the average white person who is unfamiliar with basically everything. This just sounds like racism to them. If you want more help, meet people where they are and lead them.

Thanks, my friend.

I've pretty much given up on the roof, but it's week 2 of -50 again, & Mr can't get to work; he's our only income, so we're low on food, on everything but water.

Anything at all helps so much, thank you!

Savings that were supposed to go to AC/heat repair spent on essentials so we re back to needing $995 for AC and heat motor repair. Still going to be owing on upcoming bills, if we can't get it met asap we stay in deficit.

You can use your FSA to buy allergy meds, wound care supplies, TENS units, massage guns … find out your balance and HELP SOMEBODY IN NEED
Americans leave more than $4 billion in flexible-spending accounts each year, money that goes straight back to their employers. What can you do with money that is about to expire? Here are some tips.
It’s Time to Spend Your FSA Money Before Your Employer Gets What’s Left
About half of Americans with FSA accounts let some money expire, with the average amount forfeited at more than $400.

Since we're coming up on year end, figured I'd do a thread of some of my writing I feel good about from the year. They're all free.

Considering the time of year, this is as good a place to start as any. Don't let ppl make you feel bad for cutting off toxic family.

I know about 50 seniors, including relatives, that spent weeks to months and a couple even more than a year, in pediatric hospitals for everything from whooping cough to polio. Not one of them understands what the hell is going on right now. They can’t fathom how we got to this place.

crisis pregnancy centers, which receive public funds alongside private donations, are designed to extract children from pregnant women. It’s a prolonged psyop aiming to strip their sense of self-worth to the point that they will feel totally incapable & unworthy of keeping their own children. 🥚

Some horrors only become apparent when they start happening to people that aren't Black.🤷🏿‍♂️

I want to push forward to a future where this doesn't happen to Black people, and it doesn't happen to immigrants.♥️🕊️

But some of y'all want to go back to a world where this only happens to Black people?

No.
