Former health writer here for the medical stuff. Decidedly Democrat, now disappointed in a most profound way. The way to survive is to surround yourself with art, nature, and literature—plus supportive family and friends 🌞
And leaving me to break the news to her. I can’t believe we’re going to be in limbo for a month. I expect her to refuse treatment, but palliative/hospice care would be nice. Somebody should care, right? Sorry for rambling. I’m exhausted from caring for her “pneumonia” for a month, & heartbroken.

The only thing I miss are funny dog and cats videos I can share with my elderly mom. Maybe they are here, but I haven’t found them yet

I am in the process of closing down my Twitter account, as is nearly everyone I know. It will likely be Elon’s echo chamber, not the original version of Twitter. We have to make new spaces, not simply try to recreate old ones

Yes, you’re right. I have been watching you all. I got my graduate degree from UofT many years ago and always thought I might like to return. But now there is a reactionary right wing push across the globe.

I think his followers really believe it’s all just entertainment, like being a fan of horror films. No one can see this and think, “ heck yes! Release the nasty stuff!”

I know he has never been “right,” but what is going on??? Yesterday he told us how a demon clawed him in his sleep, today he mentions demons created nuclear power. Maybe feeling the stress of being outed as a Russian puppet?

I entirely agree. I have seen posts by people happily announcing a pregnancy and being jumped on for daring to be joyful when genocide is happening. It’s crazy out there. You don’t have to explain yourself to the people who have been your messages for years. Stay safe.

Laura—I saw your latest post on the bird site, and I don’t blame you for taking a break. No matter what anyone says, someone will take offense. FWIW your original post was clear. I hope you continue posting here, and I hope you get relief from your LC soon.

Heck yes! And some family members think I’m weird for avoiding germy kids. A common cold will will set me back 2-3 weeks.

Good luck! My POTS was diagnosed by a neurologist in conjunction with a cardiologist. My then-GP was worthless and literally told me that dysautonomia is very rare and I wasn’t “special enough” to have it. What!?! Hope your appt goes well, but if it doesn’t, don’t be discouraged.

I went to grad school at U of T and really wanted to stay. Love that city so much. When the MAGA folks make life here scary, I fantasize about moving back. So heartbreaking to see the incompetent faction ruining everything.
