If I hadn't pushed myself too taking doctors advice for years I could have saved myself a lot of pain. Really wish I had not listened to them. I think about it every day.
If there is one piece of advice I can give chronically ill people is to listen to your body no matter what anyone else says.

I have never been able to go to a protest with my disabilities. I have to wait for the autism clinic to help me call or email my representatives. Most local meetings aren’t accessible for me to attend. But that doesn’t mean I can’t help make a difference.

I see more criticism here of Democrats in Congress than I do condemnation of Republicans.
And yet it is the GOP who are enabling Trump.
It tells me a lot when I see you regularly bash our side but say nothing, ever, about the other.
Reflect on your choices. You may be helping the fascists.
