Yeah, we really need to get out the information that the stevia plant is a ragweed, and therefore people with ragweed allergies are almost always cross-reactive, even when the sweetening molecule is extracted. And a GI allergy isn’t like an inhaled pollen allergy or a contact one.

So. Things are pretty rough. A mutual aid-ish thread.
In 2023, I had to leave my job because of long COVID. I’m in the process of applying for disability, but it is long, vague, and not a sure thing.
SSDI limits my ability to accept work, but with my lawyer’s blessing, I am still writing.

🎨 Every once in a while I paint with zero idea/planning. It's pretty rare & when I do, I usually feel self conscious about it because it's so spontaneous, imperfect, odd.
I don't usually post them, but in the spirit of "fuck it, it's my art" here's one.

My novel 'deadkidsongs' - *is* free on Kindle in the US for a day or two.
It's one of the reasons I got the gig to write on @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com's #deadboydetectives.
An audition, say.
"a compelling and shocking journey into the dark heart of boyhood."

1/7 What a lovely little town I live in. If I'm not getting stopped by police wanting to know what I'm doing, where I'm going, where I live, and making me wait while they run my ID simply for walking, then I'm being yelled at and having stuff thrown at me by people driving by.
