Does anyone else feel like stress, financial pressure, and political strife have shortened your life? Not in a "I'm going to die sooner" way, but in a "I can only plan to survive a week at a time and there is no future to look forward to" sort of way. It's like...the PERCEPTION of life is shorter.

Humans will NEVER colonize another planet. Never.
If we can’t even agree to do the minimum to keep Earth habitable, there’s no way in hell we’ll cooperate to make another planet habitable.

I break with many critics of #adoption because i advocate for more than the end of secrecy. We are told that adoption provides a child with stability, but we are never told why the change of legal kinship status must be irrevocable. I believe adult adoptees should be able to annul their adoptions.

Before covid, one of the more known things about cfs/me was that it was *more common* for active people to get it after severe mono or similar.
A common experience was, might still be, that people exercising regularly, usually above average.

Yes!, and it also presumes none of us were athletes well-versed in exercise beforehand 😮💨
A lot of us who have these illnesses know what being more or less trained feels like, and how our bodies should respond as we try to build capacity--what good pushing vs bad pushing feels like!

these family tree exercises force #adopted kids into reinforcing the myth of adoption as rewriting genealogical reality.
We have a right to be human and feel angry about our adoption losses.
I remember as a kid had homework to make a family tree, part of Science learning about Mendel & genetics. Asked my A Mom what to put. oc she said put your Dad & me & our parents bc we're your Real Parents.🥺

“would you prefer to have been aborted?”
Do you mean would i prefer a world in which women have control over their bodies? 🥚

So my adoptive mom threw the"well you know, your mom could've aborted you" at me today because she's tired of my "attitude". I told her "I am pro abortion to the point of being fine with having never existed." That pulled her up short. I don't play this game. With anyone. 🥚
