I'm tripping out, y'all; my orthopedist backed my Kickstarter lol. Being disabled, my doctors are the only people I see most weeks. It took me so long to find a great care team of 18 medical professionals who care about me, but this is unexpected. I love my doctors so much. 💜

Whether you’ve come out loud and proud or you’re quietly surviving in the shadows, your story matters. You’re no less brave, no less you. One day, when it’s safe, the world will meet the rest of you. Until then, you’re still loved, still valid, and still part of this messy, beautiful community.🌈📚

I'm just a buyer but after 15yrs of looking I've never found anywhere that prints on demand that has soft enough material for an autistic that is also big enough for a 3X+ that is also not charging twice the price because they know our options are limited.
Just if you want to hit an untapped market.

Don't forget that even if you pledge now, you won't be charged until 10.31 - Halloween! So if you don't get paid for a couple of weeks, no problem! You can still pledge now at no cost!

Light beige background with part of a brown box visible. Heading: “What was the hardest part of writing this?” Text: “Reliving the traumas was brutal. Waxing nostalgic over the joyous moments was almost harder. It’s like flipping through a scrapbook where every page makes you either wince or smile until your face hurts.” Tag: @toomanymargins.

It looks like Costco, CVS, and Giant Pharmacy all are supposed to have novavax based on this finder! Just make sure to call and ask before you make an appointment (at least with CVS, as they generally don't add novavax to their forms) -

Ruth Ann Crystal @drruth.bsky.social · 11d

Looking for Novavax?
Here is the NOVAVAX (NUVAXOVID) VACCINE FINDER:

Healthcare providers can order Novavax (Nuvaxovid) here: www.vaccineshoppe.com/vsh/en/USD/h...

yes this timeline is a rough route. yes there are waves of strife. but behind it all lies the inertia of all things which prompted fish to trot out of the ocean and humans to gather in commune. we are driven to fill the nothing with ourselves, with LOVE. its the unconquerable wind behind our sails
