Medicaid covers end of life services, and you are eligible as soon as you’re eligible for hospice regardless of age.
The number 1 fear I hear from dying people is pain. Medicaid ensures you can die peacefully and without pain.
You really want to risk that?

HAPPENING NOW
Nearly 25% of Mike Johnson’s constituents receive Medicaid
But he STILL wants to cut the program
By $880 BILLION
To fund more tax breaks for billionaires-like Elon Musk
It’s obscene
The vote on this is planned for TODAY
Don’t
Cut
Our
Medicaid
CALL CONGRESS. NOW.

Death Doula here. A credible, legitimate, funeral home will notify the SS of the death of a person immediately, which halts payments. This is done on your behalf/your survivors behalf.
Dead people do not collect Social Security. Elon Musk is lying to you.

I encourage everyone to take a moment in your overwhelm and notice the grief that’s happening within you.
Along with the rage, shock, sadness, there is also grief. And there should be!
We grieve when we experience loss, we have lost much lately and will likely lose more.

Death work is liberation work. When we live our lives from the perspective that we will inevitably die and all of this *gestures broadly* will end, our focuses shift. You cannot engage in death work and not believe housing is a right…

My favorite part of death work is listening to people tell stories of their lives. I love learning about your favorite coffee mug and how the figurine on your table came into your life.
Tell me about your past vacations and old coworkers and pets. I want to know all your lore!

Among Trump’s many day-one actions, one that’s gone mostly unnoticed is his reversal of a Biden policy capping Medicare copays for generic drugs at $2. This rollback raises costs for seniors and those with chronic conditions, making life-saving medications harder to afford.

The "he's not gonna listen to her" reactions are missing many points. Lots of other people are also hearing it. Lots of people can see him hearing it, then weigh what she's said with what he'll do. Lots of people can see her refusal to surrender these ancient teachings to the latest face of empire
Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

I won’t be going back to TikTok, my mental health has improved leaps and bounds since getting off the platform.
I’m going to redirect my death doula efforts here and YouTube (good grief planning) and I’m working on uploading all of my TT content there.

Gentle reminder to relax your shoulders an unclench your jaw.
Bluesky is a party in a loud room, there’s a lot of noise but not all of it means anything.

Under the GOP's SAVE Act, Tribal IDs would NO LONGER be accepted as valid identification to register to vote.
This is a direct attack on the voting rights of Native American communities.

Anyone else tired of hitting the “skip intro” button watching a TV show and then you’re still stuck watching 10-20 seconds of the opening credits you wanted to skip?
Skip should mean skip all of it.

I know it’s cold outside but the next opportunity you can, I want you to go outside and lay on the grass somewhere, and focus on the feeling of the earth holding you.
Just lay there and let yourself feel for a moment, and really breathe into the fact that you’re alive.
