pride month is, in fact, not over. I would like to announce on behalf of "The Gay Agenda" our intention to filibuster the entire rest of your summer.

WE're in a HEAT WAVE!!!!

So, umm, drink water, dammit.

Also, learn about heat stroke / heat exhaustion.

And be safe, dammit!

Weaponizing veteran statuses against LGBTQIA+ people does not make you "patriotic" and does not justify hate.

All it does is make you a harmful bigot hated by those you pretend to support.

The world is absolutely terrifying at the moment.

Let me be a small reminder:

Please remember to breathe today.
Disconnect.
Engage with your local communities.

The best act of rebellion is remembering to take care of yourself and your neighbor.

Stay punk, loves. 💜

When you’re dealing with invisible chronic illness, you have to endure a ton of gaslighting. People don’t believe what they can’t see.

You learn to hide your pain. You learn to mask, deliver a convincing “I’m fine”.

The cruel twist is the better you are at hiding it, the less people believe you.

The lack of empathy and human compassion from some of my (Trump supporting) coworkers is burning me out.

I know they're just doubling down so not to be proven wrong but... listening to it is incredibly draining. :(

Make sure to take time to destress, friends. It's a scary world right now. 💜

To be disabled is to have to spend ridiculous amounts of money on things we need to survive when stuck in a system that keeps us in poverty. Being forced into poverty and pushed out of Medicaid will make it so that many of us will die. The system isn’t broken, it’s working as designed.

I remember watching Star Wars as a kid and asking myself, who would voluntarily join the dark side? I understood Darth Vader's motivation, but not the stormtrooper's.

Their goal is for us to be overwhelmed. There are only four things to focus on:

Until you’ve dealt with complex chronic illness & watched a doctor google your conditions while treating you…you can’t possibly understand how devastating it is to see CDC websites go dark.

We need healthcare workers as informed as possible.

Now they’re censoring info on how to communicate with us

Trump’s federal funding freeze has created a flurry of information, misinformation & confusion

People are incredibly stressed out.

Especially if you’re chronically ill, please remember to pace yourself. Deep breaths.

The confusion & uncertainty is so hard on our bodies. Be gentle with yourself

Once again please:
Online/ virtual/ social media are the
ONLY ways many can be involved in the public sphere and connect to other human beings. If, after 5 yrs' pandemic, you think that in-person is superior, you need to take a deeper look at who isn't at your table/ is excluded.

With the freezing of funds for the SNAP program, a lot of Americans are going to go hungry.

Consider donating to mutual aid, give to community fridges, make a meal for a friend or drop off groceries to someone in need.

If you’re able to, be a helper.

We need more helpers right now.

Good morning, friends! Don’t forget to:

⭐️ Stay hydrated
⭐️ Eat something
⭐️ Take your meds
⭐️ Do something that makes you happy
⭐️ Move your body a little
⭐️ Take it one step at a time if you need to ❤️

A much needed gentle reminder: Self care, especially during a time of information flooding and heavy political propaganda, is important.
Please take the time to settle your mental and physical health today too. 💜
