Trump’s Big Bad Bill passed this week- including work requirements for Medicaid enrollees. The requirements contain exemptions for the disabled- but whose definition of disabled? The same state that keeps denying benefits to Long COVID patients?

"It feels like we live at the end of the story but this isn't the end, it's the middle. And together we have to fight for a better end."

How do you motivate yourself to start/continue creative projects?

It’s extra important for GOP senators to hear from their constituents right now. While Republicans try to gut life-saving programs like Medicaid and SNAP to give billionaires even more tax cuts, tell your senators to reject Trump’s Tax Scam and stand up for the families they were elected to serve. 👇

I have lost all desire to keep crocheting and I don't know why or how to restart my focus for it. Anyone have suggestions? I have to finish my current WIP before July! 😬

Bethwyrm @artemishi.bsky.social · May 20

Almost ready!

That's understandable! Tornadoes scare the wind out of me. Not knowing anything about the one near you, I just wanted to make sure you were safe. I'm glad all is well! ❤️
