Understanding Your Flare Fettered Friend - how to lend support for your loved ones going into a flare…

buff.ly/WI3eZM1

#EhlersDanlosSyndrome #EDS #hEDS #HSD #Hypermobility #Fibro #Spoonies #Zebras #NEISvoid #Pain #CPP #ChronicPain #Support
A woman is lying on a bed, appearing to be in discomfort, with her hands holding her abdomen. She is wearing a light-colored long-sleeve top and gray pants. The text on the image reads: "How to help your... Flare Fettered Friend." There is a logo in the top left corner with "EDS Awareness" and "Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes." At the bottom, it says "Guest post by Avi - May 2025" and "www.chronicpainpartners.com." There are also silhouettes of birds in flight.

Having an odd day full of rollercoaster emotions, feeling ill and agitated. Sad and useless, fed up with my own bullshit and generally tired.
I hate days like this.
I hope everyone else is having a better one ❤️

Hey Bluesky peeps, could you help spread the word?

My Shirley Jackson Award-nominated gothic fiction book THE ATROCITIES is on sale today for $1.99 on Kindle.

www.amazon.com/Atrocities-J...
This is a photo of a paperback copy of The Atrocities by me (Jeremy C. Shipp). The cover features a creepy old manor house, storm clouds, and a hedge maze. The book is against a brick wall with vines growing around and over the book.

These galaxy themed graphic dice are perfect and so glittery. The blue ones are a pretty good likeness for blue goldstone!

Have just become aware there's a horrible number* of ai generated Ulysses 31 remakes out there and feel it's important to point out that THIS is the only remake of #Ulysses31 that you will ever need:
