Retired and living the dream. Dabbling in what feeds my soul - art, photography, musical theater, heirloom tomatoes, and diving. Trying to figure out how to survive in an increasingly divided and hostile world.

A Plea to Maskless Healthcare Workers from Vulnerable Patients
If you see a mask - wear a mask. Better yet - wear a mask all the time and show us you understand that we're still IN a pandemic. We are depending on you to keep us safe - please don't betray that.

My disability tax is often having to pay for taxis or takeout due to being too symptomatic to take transit or cook. It’s expensive and I don’t really have the money to spare.
#DisabilityTax
“The reality is that it is expensive to be disabled. Research shows that disabled people need at least 28% more income, at least $17,690, to achieve a standard of living similar to that of non-disabled people.”
