Hey, did you follow me over from Twitter? Welcome. I'm most known for my TEDx Talk, "How to Get Stuff Done When You Are Depressed" and my blog Fashionably ill ®. Surviving pain with style and humor. #MentalHealth #Disability https://linktr.ee/jessicagimeno
#Healthcare Victory: Pics from Springfield #VetoSession from work. HB1085, AKA "the parity bill" passed the House and Senate on 10/31/25. This means private insurance companies in IL will no longer be able to treat #MentalHealth + substance use services differently than general medical care. Pt 1

Someone very close to Putin once explained to me that Putin thinks that all Westerners can be bought. We have no values; only a price. Dmitriev's prominent role in drafting the latest "peace plan" underscores that Putin assessment. I hope Putin is wrong. I fear for some, he might be right.

Why yes, I *did* make a huge 5000x5000 px family tree mapping 40 cast members and their relationships in #BeyondTheGates, THE best TV show of 2025 (as far as I'm concerned)
'Beyond the Gates' is beyond a soap opera. It's an instant classic — and some of the best TV of 2025. @brettwhite.bsky.social has a review-so-far (and a really intense infographic) to get you up to speed — check it out! #btg #beyondthegates
'Beyond the Gates' Family Tree: Who's Who in Fairmont Crest
Fairmont Crest is a community populated with nurses, lawyers, models, doctors, professional singers, professional schemers, and even an EGOT.

PLEASE, Kat! Tell Nicole to kick rocks. Sadly, Kat, you are everyone's afterthought. What's Mona doing on Thanksgiving? Let Mona invite Kat over; she's the only one with sense in Fairmont Crest. #BeyondTheGates
Nicole, I love you, but that’s fucked up #BeyondTheGates

Rather than shame Rep Crockett, maybe see this for what it is. MTG has work to do and she should do it if she’s sincere. Putting this on Rep Crockett and lecturing her about forgiveness is gross. The burden is on MTG and you’re not the arbiter of when that burden is met.

They need to balance the writing for Eva and Kat, a rivalry is only fun when both characters are written equally, Kat getting constantly attacked while Eva gets treated with sympathy isnt fun to watch

Poverty and disability often go together.

It’s difficult to “try harder” your way out of financial problems when you lose your health.

The pull yourselves up by your bootstrap mentality goes out the window if you’re bedbound.

It can happen to anyone at any time.

They aren’t moral failings.

Jessica Denson @jessicadenson07.bsky.social is still heeding this lesson today, along with thousands of others in D.C.

"It can be strange to do something different. But without that unease, there is no freedom."

Thank you, Removal Coalition @removalcoalition.bsky.social!

#RemovetheRegime
Many of us are echoing @timothysnyder.bsky.social's lesson in On Tyranny, "Do not obey in advance.”

A no less vital admonition that deserves attn:

STAND OUT

“...without that unease, there is no freedom. The moment you set an example, the spell of the status quo is broken, and others will follow."

Now, if I get home from work tonight and find out that today's episode was Martin and everybody else dumping on Kat, I'm gonna be so mad. Enough! Let Kat tell Martin about himself. Kat, tell your brother to kick rocks. Don't apologize; defend yourself like Erica Kane would...she needs to go nuclear
Damn! I just posted about how Kat gives me young Erica Kane vibes. Kat needs to be a bad ass vixen, not victim!

The alt-txt appears a few posts down. This is egregiously unethical on the part of Politico.
heres an example of politico covering the news while still covering for trump. the headline says trump is calling for a "trial" for dems. but what trump actually said is the dems should be offed. its very plain what he said. not saying so is a cover-up.

Please, put us viewers out of our misery. Surprise us #BeyondTheGates
Now if the show really wants to surprise us they should let Kat put Martin in his place, chances are we wont get that #BeyondtheGates

I need #beyondthegates writers to get a clue. Ashley and Derek aren’t it. Having characters talk about them isn’t helping. Don’t be like the other soaps and ignore your fans words. We’re over 4 months in, make the cut #BTG

@pwilson720.bsky.social You were right to take a break. If you see today's episode, you'll be so mad. One bright spot despite the lopsided writing, a convo between Jacob and Bill. Bill: Are you cheating on Naomi? Jacob: No, adultery is your MO. Not mine. [I laughed so hard!]

I sincerely hope Kat is allowed to hold a mirror up to Martin and back his ass up.The way they're writing Kat they'll set her up for attempted murder of Eva and her own family will testify against her. Kat, who warned them about those two women, will be in prison and the Thomas gals get it all. #BTG

The writers have this awful habit of having Leslie and Eva walk onto Nicole’s and Kat’s property uninvited, disrespect them, get the last word, and then leave.

I think the lopsided writing in their favor is one of the reasons the ratings have fallen off the cliff.
