It's highly concerning to me that birthwork is very much cis, hetero, able-bodied, sane-minded, and white-centered - whether it's the birthworkers or the people who have access to care and support from birthworkers.

I want an explanation for how and why I'm experiencing the such severe intensity in symptoms occurring in my mind and body. I have ideas for why, but these ideas may just be speculations. 😮💨

Today is another day where I feel like I cannot keep going as a person living with severe disabilities and chronic illnesses.
The cognitive dysfunctioning contributes to intense fog and I also have intense fatigue.
I'm incredibly uncomfortable in my body.

Are there folks calling out Zohran Mamdani for co-opting Sylvia Riveria's labor for trans liberation in order to further his own agenda to become an agent of the state via political power?

I was discharged in the morning and I'm very much grateful to be home!
The ER doctor did listen - the annoying part was him placing more value on the feelings of doctors who are unable to successfully manage and treat patients with complex symptoms - such as myself.

I've been patiently waiting in the Penn Presbyterian ER since 9:16pm and about 30 minutes ago, I asked my spouse to help me use the bathroom because I'm a mobility device user and a fall risk.

I usually have little to no compassion for people who are some type of healthcare worker when they themselves hold significant power and influence in the care of multiply marginalized people who are also severely disabled.

I'm holding myself and my wounded parts with grace, softness, tenderness, sorrow, grief, and anger as I reflect on what my sister expressed to me.
