A Chicago #Cubs fan. Suffering from #MultipleSclerosis for 30 years. F-CK the Orange King! He will prevent any life-changing medical breakthroughs to keep me alive. I am the #marxist #communist, #wokeAF #liberal you hear about.

🤬I WILL NOT BE SILENCED! 😡
This Goat is multi-faceted.
I was born in 2008 at @bleachernation.bsky.social, and passion for the #ChicagoCubs.
I’m also a #multiplesclerosis sufferer and advocate for #disabilty, a #writer and #poet, and a #WokeAF #socialist #liberal fighting the Orange Dictator.

Unless you have or care for a person with #MultipleSclerosis, it's hard to explain how it feels. It's more than just walking; it causes pain, anger, depression, fear, and new issues daily.

#MultipleSclerosis has trashed me since Christmas. The #ChicagoCubs aren't as rich as we want. And the orange king keeps ruining lives. So I hide, cry, suffer, and get ANGRY! We know LIVE in the:

TRUMP States of America.

If you can:

Well, ChatGPT just produced this picture from the phrase: “Image of depression caused by being a fan of the #ChicagoCubs.”
So here is a “Cubbs” (maybe it's Clark) getting ready to shit on the #Cubs.
This is how I've felt for the last 5 years of life as a Cubs fan 🤬🤪😎

To my friends with #disability, do you know your EDSS Expanded Disability Status Scale number?
I'm a 6.5. I can walk short distances with a cane/walker, but if there is any longer than 200 feet, I must use a wheelchair). Another number #MultipleSclerosis has taught me that I didn't want to know.

Meanwhile, in #Chicago sports:
#Bears: SUCK they better not ruin another first-round QB
#Cubs: great move with Tucker, but more needed
#WhiteSox: shitty owner and organization
#Bulls: same shitty owner, mediocre team
#Blackhawks: they should be better but have a promising future.

DO BETTER CHICAGO!

Omg, I told my wife the same thing… except after the dadadada we don't get Freddie Mercury singing,

And thank you for the next song in my head, I love that song and movie. Now I'm happy 😄

The reality of having #multiplesclerosis is the regular #MRI and the haunted sounds of that menacing tube. Those pops, bangs, and taps are always in my mind, constantly reminding me of the piercing tones. Those blasting notes are my #NEVERMORE.

#TIL more than I wanted, but I am now obsessed with #YachtRock. Not because I like soft rock, but because I never knew it was so important to #HipHop, and that #MichaelMcDonald and #SteelyDan are everywhere. Today, I can't stop hearing McDonald’s perfect voice.
Oh, and #THRILLER!

My wife occasionally does cross stitch of dirty phrases to give as gifts. We’d have some out, but grandkids ask questions 🤬

When #multiplesclerosis brain fog and fatigue are gone, I write. I plan #Poems and #shortstories, but typically, I just “Trip the Light Fantastic” and ramble around freely. One day, I should revise, but today is a rambling #writing day. Are there any other #writers who love writing without purpose?

Five years ago, I got a #wheelchair because my walking diminished. Since the wheelchair, I'm more independent and can enjoy the world. It humbles and frightens me, causing #depression and anger. I’m either not seen or pitied like I'm dying.

I need good news from the #ChicagoCubs, so I'm curious what everyone thinks the #Cubs should do this offseason. I can't see any free agents that dramatically help the offense, but there are always trades.

Please give me your best path to get the needed power bat.

I am desperate to get my head away from the orange darkness surrounding us. I have a beautiful wife and kids, but we struggle to stay positive. I have the doctors and skill to survive, but the knot on my gut is persistent.

Who else feels like me?

As the Orange King removes and lowers #regulations, I fear an end to the #ADA is very possible.
We are not #disabled by choice, but we fucking demand the same access as everyone. Advocate for others, not for yourself, and be unselfish.

I hope Craig Counsell is angry that the #ChicagoCubs keep being cheap and refusing to spend money. The #Cubs should be in the #JuanSoto sweepstakes, but instead, we’re trying to lower payroll. I wish Ricketts would stop worrying about the luxury tax and field a better team.

What a trade for the Cubs, but not because of Bowa.

Often, diseases focus on the physical side but ignore mental health. If you're struggling with the darkness of your disease, get mental/psychiatric treatment because these feelings are as dangerous as the physical. #MultipleSclerosis #chronicdiseases #mentalhealth #depression

Good morning, BlueSky. It’s been a good #MS morning (it has been a while). The #Cubs signed a free agent to a #MLB contract (even if it’s a gamble). Democracy still exists in the USA.

Which of these things will continue to happen in 2025?

People love to ask me what #MultipleSclerosis feels like, how it “hurts,” the side effects, and where it attacks. There is only one answer when describing #MS #MSlife #MSstruggles.

IT ATTACKS EVERYTHING AND EVERYWHERE.

Its #PhysicalPain, #mobility issues, #MentalHealth complication, and more!

If only the #ChicagoCubs could do anything to give this #SadGoat something besides the perpetual defeated sensation with an ominous orange cloud destroying hope and happiness. Just give me smile #Cubs. Only #WrigleyField and flying the W flag can bring sun back.
SPEND THE MONEY CUBS!

As is expected, #MultipleSclerosis #fatigue morphed into #mspain, and I’m just waiting for the pain wave to settle down. I refuse narcotics, but #cannabis solves so much; my #RSO dart is my friend tonight.
