I first heard it with enough context to get it immediately. I liked having a shortcut to describe the concept. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Sure, when a chronically ill or disabled person gets sick with something else, like a cold or flu.

When a chronically ill or disabled person gets sick beyond their usual, like with a cold or flu. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’ve heard it IRL & online. Based on how often I used to hear it, esp on Twitter, I thought it was more well-known.

Interesting. It’s been used in the disability & chronic illness communities for years, but perhaps usage has decreased recently. 🤷🏻‍♀️ So, still hoping for a synonym.

I hope it’s great! 🐦‍⬛🌷

What a brilliant idea! Wish NH had rec so they could/would do more creative things like this.

Our 17yo who is into art & costume design has the same lament: “Michael’s is nothing but a holiday decor store!” 😢
At least we don’t have a shitty Hobby Lobby that we’d have to avoid…

Timing is everything, so I’ve heard. Good luck!

❤️ I remember passing that milestone wrt my father. (Age 44 & 2mos.)

Yeah, I think about this kind of shit a lot…😔

See also: sounding like she’s dying in every public bathroom we go to. I pick my battles wrt #dementia behavior, but I do remind her that most people don’t moan & groan dramatically like that where others can hear (& worry!) I want to protect her from shame, which she can still experience…

Oh my gosh, I am so sorry that you are all going through this. My heart is with you.

Also, I almost lost my mind when freaking Lord Bridgerton waltzed in. And then that scene in the forest, which was a direct copy of so many Bridgerton scenes? My 17yo said, “Mom it’s all he knows.” 🤣

I made the rare effort to see that one as well! Worthy.
