(Just for 📌) I’m Plato & this is Beth (‘Human’). Her parents asked me to lend a paw back in 2009, when she was on treatment for bone cancer - Ewing’s, IYKYK. After that? We’d fought in the trenches so no separating us. She’s 32. NED 🎉 but had lots of complications & is chronically ill now🐻👩🏻🎗️✝️🙌

People in ICE concentration camps are forced to kneel to eat food off plates “like dogs”, held on unsanitary buses in parking lots for more than 24 hours, crammed for weeks in freezing intake rooms where they sleep on the floor, and denied adequate medical care.

This is a human rights crisis.

Notable that this man, who we were all assured isn’t an abuser of women like his Mama originally said, got specifically angry at a female journalist. She’s a Fox reporter, you’d have thought he’d be ok with her, but look at his reaction to anything less than the full throated approval of a woman.

After I had given the exam, I had a little time to kill. It was raining as well. I went to a nearby small park which had many roses.

Wish I had taken more pics because the colors were stunning and unique. Does anyone know what the name of this one is?

God
Grant me the serenity to accept the relatives who STILL don’t understand my illness after 16 years,
The strength to try to answer their questions & thoughts patiently,
And the wisdom to know that they don’t mean everything to sound like implicit criticism,
In Jesus Name,
Amen.

It’s great that Trump’s hired such a passionate Press Secretary! - Huh? What do you mean that’s the United States Secretary of Defense?!

@aabria.bsky.social Very random: had insomnia last night, ended up watching a load of Dirty Laundry on Dropout, if no one’s found that film yet (🌪️) then something you should consider. Did you ever properly hurt yourself OR have any v nasty illnesses btwn 1-2 & telling your parents that dream? In

When your Human says they need to send an important message to a friend before we go ahead and then spends fully an hour on a 1000 word essay of important stuff she should’ve said when they were discussing stuff recently…
why do you write like you 're running out of time?

‘Peace?! No! I said… uuuh… Peas! Peas?!?!?! Yeah!.. I said we’d give peas for food aid to these troubled regions! If you heard something different, well, that just goes to show that you can’t trust the media. I tried to correct the record but the liberal media didn’t report it.’ DJT when asked 😉🙃

Worth saying, a lot of quiet dismissive, unpleasant assumptions & attitudes about ‘straight, white, male Boomers,’ let alone conservatives (okay, he’s *just* pre-Boomer). Maybe a good moment to remember that the preconceived notions we hold about each other are rarely a fair & accurate summation.

I so hope & pray that somehow, stupid #MECFS recedes enough that you can again. Especially nowadays, when (with the exception of the issue above) the Fringe is SO good for accessibility. Seriously. A dedicated team, profiles that mean support needs are saved year to year & so much help available.

I mean you can still ticket a free event, just give people the certainty of knowing there’s a seat for them without making the process physically prohibitive!

Sitting with the window open enjoying the breeze, but even with the breeze it’s too humid. Seriously. 85% humidity and more or less room temperature all day, it just feels kind if gross. Don’t mind rain, don’t mind a thunderstorm, but I so loathe mugginess!

Sorry, didn’t really register it wasn’t someone sharing their tiktok on their other socials 🤦‍♀️ thanks for sharing the video though! Very interesting, I’ve actually not come across signs like these here in Scotland.

Quickly, quietly, approach & overwhelm so this git doesn’t have a chance to draw his weapon and start letting bullets fly when there’s crowds of civilians everywhere. Also, hope feds take note that these officers weren’t on duty with face-coverings, bc that’s hostile - unless medically necessary.

So glad your illness is finally being recognised. It’s such a fight to get a word, a term, but it’s so vital for getting access to services and support. Hope now this fight is behind you, things get a little easier.

So one of the things I’m never sure off when I see someone blind and on their own, trying to negotiate a bathroom or a road crossing (with uneven surfaces, potholes etc.) is whether to offer help? Lots of blind/near-blind people cope amazingly and I don’t want to be patronising 🤷‍♀️

If you have #ChronicIllness or #Disability you often can’t wager the energy, pain & other symptoms involved in going out, on a mere chance. Many of these acts/venues think they’re leading the revolution in equal access, but tbh, they’ve actually made their show(s) 💯 inaccessible. (2/2)
