"But maybe you touch one life
And the world becomes a better place to be
Maybe you give their dreams another day
Another chance to be free"

That's why I keep going, right there. My symptom profile is high octane nightmare fuel, but as long as I can make a difference, I have something to fight for.

This song hits me hard. It's about living your life to the fullest before you get old, & I essentially entered old my senior years in my early 30s.

Various health issues have massively shortened my life expectancy & given me a bunch of symptoms commonly associated with old age.

The Crüxshadows – Birthday

Roll out of bed, look in the mirror / And wonder who you are / Another year has come and gone / Today is your birthday / But it might be the last day of your life / What will you

When a Navy vet in my chosen family made it clear he was impressed by my dedication to duty & honor, even though my hatred of the military is well documented, I knew I was on the right track. So I keep going.

That's quite literally why I'm still alive. I've been ideating since I was 12.

True. I'm just worried because I know enough relevant history to recognize certain patterns playing out in current events.

I've dedicated my life to this fight. If anything, this should encourage people to do as you suggested. Massive redundancy will be essential to our surviving this.

What did I miss?

If it was Jorts, that person is an ableist milkshake duck but folks didn't listen when I told them as much despite my personal experience backing it up.

One of the proudest moments of my life was when I saw Tinu had followed me back.

I had an advantage in that I was friends with Zen already, but even so.

I would be bursting with pride in your place. You are extraordinary 💖

Remember the ripple effect. Helping one person can help a great many others indirectly. You probably won't see most of the effects of your efforts, but a little faith is warranted here.

You don't have to try to save everyone all at once. Just use the resources you have for communication to try and help one or two people get their needs met.

It’s eugenics. They are not actually fundamentally against modern health practices. They are creating disinformational confusion around them in order to eliminate undesirables in society.

So, people who have at-risk relatives, or kids, or pregnant women struggle to get the Covid booster.

But Trump can just waltz over to Walter Reed to get his... www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

The visit, which the White House described Wednesday as a "yearly check-up," was his second examination at Walter Reed in six months.

Seriously, Judges *do no do things like this*

They don't give their opinion to the media

They don't criticize how SCOTUS works

It is not yours to complete the work, but neither is it yours to abandon it.

I've made some very cool friends that way. People I don't want to let down, above and beyond my inborn need to help people in general.

So I've been told. I've been on social media for hours almost every day of the last 12 years & change working to inform, encourage, educate, & inspire people as best I can.

Azine needs sheets, medical supplies, and meds.

Azine's informal free housing arrangement is about to end abruptly. We don't know when; it could be at any time. We need to raise money to get her into an Airbnb as quickly as we can manage.

We don't have the resources for long-term solutions, so I'm just keeping her alive as long as I can.

ID: A pond with a duck trailing ducklings on the water & a fox on the shore. Surrounding the lake is a forest of evergreen trees and a snowy landscape. The words are in white with black borders.

Transcript: Azine's Story
Azine travels the world to meet people dear to her. That is her reason for living, as she doesnt know how much time she has left. This goes for everyone, especially with how the world is today. Goes extra for her because of heart-lung disease from birth + a series of embolisms in 2016.

Embolisms are kept at bay by medication, due to having had more than one. Dystonia and seizures, were made worse by Lyme disease (tick bite 2009). MCAS, probably from birth, is made a lot worse by environmental toxins. She takes 4 antihistamines including compounded ketotifen (expensive) in very high doses to keep her skin from peeling off & to keep limited food down.
"I dont have access to health insurance, even though that is mandatory where I was born.Because people with Lyme and ME/CFS are routinely denied healthcare, persecuted, and jailed in psychiatric hospitals. That is why I became a traveler/refugee. That is why my mom, who still lives there, is deep in debt. Because there was never gov. support or funding for me, not even welfare."

I've done all I can out of my own resources. We need your help. Please, boost & share her story, & if you can afford to, donate any amount* you can spare to her mom's PayPal: MadeleineWedemeijer@gmail.com
*Literally $1 helps. Fundraisers with more activity, regardless of the size of the donations, are more successful overall as it motivates people to pitch in. And if you include an encouraging message in the memo line, you'll help to lift the severely flagging spirits of all those involved.

Breathtaking. An early-pandemic virtual choir piece I hadn't seen before today.

It gives me courage.

I came to terms with my own mortality in my late 20s. I stick around because the world needs me.
