To stay in the loop + be part of future victories, sign up for #AccessLiving 's newsletter! We send out periodic action alerts. We've been successfully championing the rights of disabled people since 1980; AL was part of drafting and passing the ADA. www.accessliving.org/get-involved... Pt. 8 /FIN

But I am confident that there will be other #healthcare victories in our future. I believe that together we will have other legislative victories ensuring even greater access for people with #MentalHealth and Substance use conditions in IL. Healthcare is a human right! #CripTheVote Pt. 7

#Healthcare Victory: @govpritzker.illinois.gov 's office has been supportive; we expect him to sign the bill. HB1085 goes into effect in January 2027. My only regret is taking pics at end of Veto Session instead of the beginning; I wish we had a pic of the whole team & when I had fresh hair. Pt 6

I'm grateful for my parents' support. Who made it easier for me to navigate work with my disabilities. Hard to use a scooter with buildings built in the 1800s. People be taking "Land of Lincoln" too literally. (That's why Access Living fights for accessibility.) #MentalHealthMatters Pt. 5

HB1085 had bipartisan support. I am grateful to everyone who submitted witness slips in favor of this bill despite only having 3 hours to do so. If you did, THANK YOU! We had 900+ witness slips in favor of the bill (compared to 36 against it). #MentalHealthParity #Democracy works. Pt. 4.

Because of HB1085, behavioral health providers will be paid more fairly and equitably. More people in Illinois will be able to access healthcare. Sponsors included State Senator #KarinaVilla + Rep. Lindsey #LaPointe who has always stood ten does down for mental healthcare. Pt 3.

In my role as #MentalHealth Policy Analyst at #AccessLiving the past 2 years, I've worked with many tenacious advocates who made this happen including Thresholds, NAMI Chicago, NAMI IL, Trilogy, @wonkicorn.bsky.social A Just Harvest. This was a team effort. Pic of me + Amber K from Thresholds. Pt 2

This isn't a foreign psy-op, and it's not the product of social media bots. It's a homegrown menace, and it's getting worse. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

OMG. I came on here to see if I could stomach Tuesday's episode before watching it on Wednesday (had to work late) and I'm off of work...but sounds like it's not worth it.

I can never tell what Tomas is thinking because his face always looks the same. No affect.
November 26, 2025 at 1:45 AM
Yep, and I won't forget that!

Something is wrong with that woman!

Yes, but they need to give us Dani/Kat scenes. How much more satisfying would today's scenes have been if we also got to see Dani consoling Kat instead of just defending her when she's not there to hear it?

UGH! My dream is for someone great to primary Martin and Kat helps him beat Martin. Fundraises, volunteers, etc and they fall in love. Then after he wins, they come out as a couple stunning everyone, especially Martin. Kat sees through everyone but Tomato (sadly).

...unless you're Kat in which case you are punished for seeing through Leslie/Eva and not having amnesia over the past 9 months. #BTG

The worst was the fire alarm. I don't want Ted/Nicole to reunite but that story showed how Leslie always gets her way. It never occurred to Nicole/Ted that a) Leslie could have pulled the alarm or b) they can finish their talk after? For Leslie to run over everyone, characters are dumbed down...
