REMEMBER, IF YOU WANT TO BE SEEN IN THE TRADES:

Your story must be:
• Complex, but navigable
• Nuanced, but supervised
• Dark, but morally legible
• Ambitious, but contained
• Closed, resolved, not leaking,
• There is nothing after THE END

📽️ WATCH: After a bird flu outbreak tore through Midwestern barns, which led to 18 million hens being killed and a spike in egg prices, the Department of Agriculture didn’t investigate whether the virus was airborne.

But ProPublica did.

Desertdragon - Somewhat better today.  Not as much sneezing and snotting.  Have a bit of a fever so more tea, comforter and cozy reading.  I'm just started Snake-Eater by T. Kingfisher.  I got a bead haul yesterday and I'd rather be making pretty bracelets and necklaces.

Ugh. Woke up with a sore throat and a runny nose. Tested negative for COVID. Drinking tea and water. Hunkering down under the comforter with a box of tissues nearby.

M Styve [stee-vee] on Instagram: "Sabi still needs our community care‼️ Things are slowing down for some of us for winter and it’s easier to just turn away from people who have needs we alone can’t meet, but please remember that we don’t need you to do it all we just need you to do what you can to support people’s survival! Sabi is still the sole caregiver for a beloved family member while surviving off a super limited fixed income in a hotel room that they are behind paying for. The room doesn’t provide everything they need cause storing and making food is hard in a small kitchenette while providing care to an elder, but every and any bit of support helps them survive! We all want to see Sabi thrive! That takes community members investing in their future and right now every single day is a battle. Can you help? Each and every bit of help counts. Sharing this to stories, sending it to people you trust, or just reposting on another social site all help too!

A dedicated caregiver's plea for support to help them survive the harsh winter months amidst a fixed income and caregiving responsibilities. Help is needed to raise funds for a hotel room and basic necessities.
