4 months later, and I’ve become a prepper. Not a doomsday prepper or anything, but I keep enough for emergencies. I’ve been food insecure before, and I don’t ever want to feel that way again.
Who else is preparing for the recession coming? It occupies so much of my mental energy and space lately.

If you, 3 years out, are relying on a transphobic, ableist, and anti-homeless candidate who hasn’t even announced he’s running to come save you, you aren’t radical. You’re complicit in f*caked up system.

You know you are a nerd when you see a store called, “Gibson Girl Vintage” and know that the Gibson Girl look is over 75-100 years old making it antique meaning that thing it’s named after wouldn’t be considered vintage.

This.

I was such a nicer and happier person before 2021, when everyone who claimed to ever love me demonstrated that “back to normal” meant a life without me in it.

Fuck y’all and your brunch and concerts and cons and superspreaders.

The world is falling apart, and it’s absolutely your fault.
Do y'all ever think, when you see disabled folks begging you to mask, what it feels like to have the entire world, every care structure you need, & almost every person that you've ever made, even friends, unite in not giving a fuck if you live or die?

Then they call you entitled for asking.

That moment when you buy a kindle of Facebook marketplace to avoid unnecessary and new tech I don’t need, and they guy gives me two of them for the price of one because he hasn’t had any luck selling both. 🤣

Social media is a tool that can be used to mobilize and skill build for folks to be able to be activists. No single tool will liberate us, but if you're not utilizing the tools that are available to you to move us towards collective liberation then you're not an effective organizer.
Posting isn't activism.
I've been enjoying being on here but a reminder — we're not trying to have another hub for liberals, we're investing in a hub for collective liberation and I'm seeing this app quickly turn into a liberal hub where folks take pride in not being the right wing but aren't doing the work.

Wow, someone funding gen o 🛝 doesn’t want it to end? Shocking. I hate it here. Ceasefire now, arms embargo now, open the Rafah crossing now.
The US just vetoed *another* UN Security Council resolution. It demanded "an immediate, unconditional and permanent ceasefire" & "immediate and unconditional release of all hostages."

14 voted in favor.
1—the US—opposed.

This is the 4th UNSC ceasefire resolution US has vetoed.

I absolutely love being so crampy and in pain that I’m hobbling around behind bar, where I can’t use my cane. It’s just the best.

Especially on my 12 hour work day.

Right. Here's your to-do list for the next two months to put you in the best possible position to survive what's coming:

1. Renew your passport (or apply for a passport) this week even if it is not expiring in the next four years. Renewing early will give you the maximum 10-year validity period.

My Palestinian mutual on the other site gave me permission to share his support link here: PLEASE boost, & donate if you can!

Mo is supporting himself, his family, & a bunch of rescued shelter cats!

They are being starved out, & need help affording the black market.

paypal.me/animalrescue...
Pay help cats using PayPal.Me
Go to paypal.me/animalrescue703 and type in the amount. Since it’s PayPal, it's easy and secure. Don’t have a PayPal account? No worries.

I had to go birth control because I lost my health insurance and I was reduced to one week a month where I was not in pain. I hadn’t seen my baseline without birth control in years and it was debilitating. If that’s what some of y’all call “real freedom”, get some perspective PLEASE.
Since RFK Jr was tapped for HHS I’ve noticed a uptick in what I call “wellness trolling”

- Don’t you want to get off your medications and experience real freedom?
- Why aren’t you trusting your body to heal?
- Eat better, exercise, get off the poison

Disability doesn’t work like that /1 🧵

Hospitals & healthcare settings have been such a letdown during pandemic. Forcing patients to remove respirators for baggy blues, dropping masks as soon as they could, encouraging staff NOT to test and placing covid positive patients with others.

#Endo is kicking my but today. Lots of cramping and I feel like every move is pulling on my hips and ovaries. I need a human-sized heating pad and three weeks off. Where are all my other chronic illness peeps on here?

How am I spending my day off? By having a cooking party! I’ve made muffins, curry, and have chicken in the oven. I plan on prepping some squashes later to make purées for baking purposes.

An opinion I feel should be universal at this point: All indoor public spaces (but especially schools, workplaces, and medical facilities) should be subject to air quality regulations and continuous monitoring and CO2 and particulate concentration numbers should be accessibly displayed.
