A good way to find people to follow (absolutely key here because there's no default algorithm) is search for a keyword (storms, art etc) and then just check out the follower lists of people who are posting and follow them.
They'll probably follow you back and then you're on your way.

36 years ago, 14 bright and talented women were murdered at #ÉcolePolytechnique in #Montréal in a horrifying act of misogynist #violence.
Today, we honour their memory and commit to fight for #equality, dignity and safety for women across the country and around the globe.

A splint for cubital tunnel syndrome right before the holidays (for use over what's likely the next 4–6 months) wasn't exactly the gift I had in mind...

I was reading, and, based on type of pain, where it is, and how it's affecting sleep, range of motion, and activites, AND the type of imaging the doctor has requested, I'm thinking he MAY suspect a sprain or rotator cuff injury.
The latter is not unheard of after a blow or blunt trauma.
TL;DR: OW!

Trying to get more exercise, but I'm still struggling to find ways to fit it into my day. This counts, right? 😘
In all seriousness, I do a HIIT and WalkFit workout on yucky days and, when the weather is nice, I walk outside to hit my step target.

That feeling when you're a side sleeper but can't sleep on your preferred side because you've injured pretty much everything on that side and it hurts like a bastard.
Yeah. That.
Good times.

Today was a day. Physically, I'm bruised but otherwise okay. The others as well. Emotionally, I'm fucking exhausted and just glad to be in one piece, home, and safe to cry with no one watching.

Furniture refinishing /#upcycle project...
Here is a pic of the side table I found for all of $1 at a thrift shop. Nice piece, but why would someone f*ck up the top like that?!
Sand the top, apply veneer, and it will be a cute piece.
