I grew up watching Star Trek: The Next Generation, and one of the qualities I loved most about it was that it felt universal and uniting, like it was truly made for everyone. Multiple views could come together under the umbrellas of reason and compassion, and diversity was normal.

We are built to live each day in the warmth of community, with friends and family and fellow villagers and a small, familiar social world that supports us. If you feel the pain of our chronic absence of community, congratulations... you are a human.

If you're coping with chronic illness, it's okay to take things slow.
I know you already know that, but sometimes we just need to hear someone say it.

“Reject Either/Or”
A snail with butterfly wings. Slow AND capable of flight.
An invitation to reject false binaries, to honor becoming at your own pace while still believing in transformation. We don’t have to choose between patience and possibility, grounding and hope, what is and what might be.

I guess it's time to take down my Christmas tree. It's been so nice to see it glowing in the dark corner of my living room. ✨️

Before chronic illness, I went to festivals, hiked through forests, swam in the ocean, and gardened in my backyard.
I still do all of that... just virtually. Does it still count?
My mind and heart say YES!

In all of this mayhem and heartbreak, moments of lightheartedness, humor, or play could seem irresponsible, but they are vital. Little joys, especially shared, viscerally remind us why we're fighting.

I live about 20 minutes from the beach but have been housebound for months with #chronicillness #cfs. My outlet is #Minecraft. So here's my day at the beach! A sand castle the size of a mansion. So relaxing and I'm not even tired.

I run a small community for people with #chronicillness (plus friends and family), and it came up recently that being bedridden is unavoidable and depressing, but there's still pressure to have hope.
That's one hard part about #cfs.
We must expect a recovery that never comes. #neisvoid

This is for people with #chronicillness who haven't heard of #Minecraft but might find a lot of joy in it.
I have #fatigue, #chronicpain, and #brainfog, and Minecraft has been a godsend. It keeps my spirits up when my body is down.

We've declared this Christmas week because I didn't spend all my last energy tokens (i.e. spoons) decorating the house, jacked up on special-occasion prednisone, to turn right around and undo it.
