youtu.be/ioJ0xb3w8nY?... Take care of your kidneys. CBS exposed DaVita & Fresenius for putting profit over patients. I used to doubt that. Now? It tracks. Speak up if something feels off — it might be. You deserve real care.

ICE agents were asked to leave a middle school near Wilsonville. Preying on children! CHILDREN!

If you voted for this fascist regime, get fucked.

ICE agents asked to leave middle school campus near Wilsonville

A letter from the school district said school officials told ICE agents they were parked on private property and asked them to leave, which they did shortly after.

Might not make it to the event tomorrow — looks like I’m coming down with something. Runny nose and a bit of a sore throat started a few hours ago. Of course it would happen right before my vaccine appointment on Wednesday.

Honored to be invited to the White Cane Safety Day proclamation tomorrow at the Oregon State Library! The Mayor of Salem’s office even reached out to confirm how to spell and pronounce my last name correctly 😄 #WhiteCaneDay #Accessibility #BlindCommunity #SalemOregon

Remember when all we had to worry about was FarmVille help or being attacked in Mafia Wars?

Hey National Guard & federal agents—shutdown means no pay. Don’t follow a tyrant’s orders. Take that time off—it’s yours.

President Trump had said he will send troops to Portland to protect U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities, which he said were "under attack."

For anyone looking to buy a shirt to show your protest for the removal of the Pulse Croaawalk memorial. Linking directly to your Etsy for that one hope you don’t mind.

Fuck Florida. They just erased the Pulse Crosswalk Memorial back in August. I’m glad I don’t live there anymore. Fucking MAGAts can die.

It’s like where’s Waldo, but taco edition 🤣

Lower left corner I am wearing my taco hat. Iykyk. 🤣

MAGAts cried over a 0.01% tax hike. Math: $15.05/hr × 173hrs ≈ $2604.65/mo. 0.01% = 0.0001 → $0.26/mo. That’s less than a bus fare. If you’re bitching over 26¢ a month, get your head out of your ass. #TaxFacts #Oregon #MAGA

Using tech as a blind person isn’t just about screen readers. I hold devices 4 inches from my eye, adjust contrast, zoom in constantly, and navigate the world through limited sight. That’s how I cope with my vision every day.

VoidedMike @voidedmike.bsky.social · Aug 24

I’m legally blind due to a combination of glaucoma, cataracts, and diabetic retinopathy. I have tunnel vision, rely on high contrast, and often use zoom functions, keeping screens just inches from my eye to see clearly.

They stare at the 6ft blind man in a hoodie on a 90° day.
“Poor thing, his blindness makes him cold.”
But they are wrong. I am blind and chronically ill. My body rewrote the seasons—summer feels like comfort while I live in invisible winter. #Blind #ChronicIllness

At Walgreens: clerk asks “Covid shot or pickup?” Customer says “pickup.” MAGAt behind them starts ranting about lies + arrests 🤦‍♂️ Dude, no one asked, no one cares. You’re not a freedom fighter, you’re just holding up the line. #BlueSky #COVID #PharmacyLife

Transplant listing: ✅ fully approved.
Now it’s just a waiting game for a kidney match. 🫁⏳
Here’s hoping the call comes sooner rather than later.

I’m still here. For now. End-stage kidney failure means dialysis isn’t enough. A kidney transplant is my only chance at a fuller life. If you’re healthy and want to help, check if you’re a match: nkr.org/PZG643 Please share to help spread the word.

I hate early morning appointments… but also love getting them over with so I can move on with my day. The struggle between wanting sleep and wanting to be productive is real. #DisabledLife #ChronicLife #MorningMood
