Any tips for making my Bluesky feed much better?! It's all the same posts on politics and news right now. I know there's more content than this....?

Helpful tip for anyone using a KitchenAid mixer to work in the ingredients for their pumpkin pie - pumpkin pie spices tend to be heavier and sink, so go after them by stirring manually after things are blended. Don't make my mistakes.

Here’s some science you can keep in mind when you’re finishing off the leftovers in your fridge, plus a few tips for safer cooking and eating. (from 2022) https://to.pbs.org/3WFepSV

When families of children with special needs tell you no one in their school system cares, believe them. (I did and do.) Majority of school board announces resignation after text messages exposed share.google/BiDyiGKlChv5...

4 Counties have assistance available with Casey's Law. What are your thoughts on & experiences with this law? share.google/xDBuFVyjD12g...

It's like diversion is more human, more appropriate AND even cheaper or something. Wish more Kentucky entities would put effort into these interventions (& thanks to those who do!)

"Kentuckians deserve so much more." Yes, we do. #kyga26 #kyga25 Kentucky deserves better than ‘jokes’ kentuckylantern.com/2025/11/25/k...

Is it just me or do other disabled people with complex illnesses feel like we spend as much time on MyChart as employees sometimes?!? 3 hours logged in today.

How have you curated your Bluesky feed? I'm curious.

Media and influencers: Every single time you write about Epstein you need to be including hotline information for survivors/victims. (Just as you always include 988 info on suicide reporting.) Be mindful of how you're talking about this very difficult and traumatic topic.

The National Parks of the United States are truly a treasure. Thank you, Utah, for keeping Bryce Canyon National Park open today with state funds. We shouldn't have to forego basic human rights in order to keep some beautiful things going.

"No vaccine was tested more extensively than the RNA vaccines, and no vaccine was given to more people than the mRNA vaccines, & they were found to be incredibly safe...and effective. They saved 20 million lives, & they stopped a pandemic that was shutting down the world." -Drew Weissman

Don't forget to take your daily medication! Preferably before you get to the football game or tailgate!

There's something icky about a church in the downtown area of a city launching a $7.8 million campaign for a parish hall when their neighbors are still facing a housing crisis, increasing food prices are forcing more families to the food bank, etc. It's a special kind of privileged tone deaf.

Friendly Saturday reminder to take your meds, if you are on regular medication and if you haven't already today! Medication can be self care!

Hug someone you love or like today (with their consent of course).

I don't know who needs to hear this, but "catastrophic plans" for US health insurance are absolute garbage. Invest in a marketplace plan for your health if at all possible.

The Kentucky Democratic Party is on a statewide tour defending Medicaid from cuts by the GOP Congress, saying they will hurt individuals, hospitals, and healthcare workers who rely on the safety net program. WKU reports on their stop in Bowling Green:

Disability rights are human rights The CDC destruction, vaccine restrictions, anti vaccine rhetoric and rollback of food safety are all things that threaten my personal safety and health.

Friends, I'm basically leaving my job because of my disabling condition. I'm in a uniquely privileged place to do so, thankfully. Even with all that, being openly and publicly disabled in this country feels so dangerous right now. But I'm doing it. If you're forced to be silent, you're not alone.

Thank a union today!

This family is facing a heartbreaking situation. They need urgent help to stay together and safe. Please consider donating and sharing. Every bit counts in this tough time. I know them personally and this is not a fair situation. gofund.me/5a032d67

It's the lunch time window in Eastern Standard Time. Have you taken your meds yet today? Taking regularly prescribed meds is self care. Having access to them is a privilege, sadly. I've been singing in my head all day "If you're happy and you know it, thank your meds..." #ChronicIllness

Don't forget to wind down at night. Turn on the blue light filter on any devices, or better yet turn them off. Snuggle up with something relaxing. Constantly reliving moments of shame or embarrassment before bed? Replace the thoughts with positive ones, one at a time. OR try writing them out.

When your brain is like this, it's important to realize you aren't alone. Tip: Find the things you *can* control. (It can be hard to realize what you can't.)

🚨 Judge blocks HHS from giving ICE the personal info of 79M Medicaid enrollees. The plan, rolled out without public notice, included addresses and Social Security numbers, prompting lawsuits from 20 states. Every small hurdle helps protect privacy and access to care for the most vulnerable.

You still matter. Even when the world seems to be a dumpster fire. Maybe especially then. Renew your heart. Joy is resistance. Peace is resistance.

Trump's Executive Order on homelessness ignores the very real truths about the causes and demographics of people who are homeless. It's a terrifying read: www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Did you take your meds today? #Reminder #MentalHealth

The CBO estimates that Republicans’ “Big Beautiful Bill” would kick millions of people off Medicaid. Health care providers in the mountains of eastern Kentucky, a region especially dependent on the federal program, are sounding the alarm on what it could do to patients, clinics and the economy.

Option 3 will be disappearing from 988, but there are still call takers who are LGBTQ+ who will be answering the main lines. In KY, it's answered by regional community mental health centers. Trevor Project's independent resources and #s aren't going anywhere, though. *They are still here.*

It's hard to prove the "results" of prevention work, but solid prevention efforts make a sizeable dent on stats 5, 10, 15+ years down the road. Prevention is worth a long term investment.

My first apartment in 1994 was $350/month. Adjusting for inflation, that apartment should now rent for $744/month. It actually rents for $1500. Greed and inflation are hurting the kids, not their Starbucks lattes.

Enough! #kywx

Watching Season 2 of Picard, which came out awhile ago. Their commentary on the US in 2024...so friggin accurate.

Yappity yap hate. Yappity yap. Data? We don't do that right now. (Not my best but...) #SinedieHaikus #SineDie #kyga25

Looking forward to the #SineDieHaikus today! #kyga25

Want to know a lefty take on Kentucky's most recent general assembly? I know @forwardky.bsky.social has been following closely and will have a lot coming out after today to help us all make sense of the fast moving things from today.

Thank you for voicing the absolute truth about this session, @tericarter.bsky.social kentuckylantern.com/2025/03/28/t... @kentuckylantern.com

We don't agree on every policy, but @alcrossky.bsky.social is a voice we all need to continue to hear and read. kentuckylantern.com/2025/03/28/e... Thanks @kentuckylantern.com

Taught my first two in-person Counseling on Access to Lethal Means trainings yesterday. Medication safety. Gun safety. Public safety. It's all part of personal and public health!
