Reminder: when your healthcare premiums go up in two weeks, thank every Utah Republican who refused to extend ACA premiums.

Absolute cuteness!!!

“How do you have patience for people who claim they love America but clearly can't stand Americans?" ~Sydney Ellen Wade (played by Annette Bening) in the movie The American President - Directed by Rob Reiner (RIP)

Has anyone diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis had the Octave MSDA Blood Test done? My neurologist gave me paperwork on it showing how it measures disease activity for MS patients & I wanted to see if anyone has any experience with this they can share. #MS #MultipleSclerosis #OctaveMSDA

With this latest mass shooting at Brown University, this might be a good time to mention that Bill Clinton’s assault weapons ban reduced mass shooting deaths by 43% - but after George W Bush & Republicans let it expire, mass shooting deaths spiked by 239%. It's the guns!!! :(

36 years ago today, Scott & Andrea Swift released #TaylorSwift… Well, technically Andrea did, but 9 months earlier, Scott laid down a demo track, which was mixed & mastered until the full #TaylorsVersion was ready to be released to the public 🫶🏻 🫶🏻 🫶🏻 #Swifie #TheErasTour #TheFinalShow #TheEndOfAnEra

Universal Healthcare, w/ the option to add an affordable private option, would be the ultimate goal but, Medicare for All would be a great FIRST STEP. It would take a few years to adjust but our society would be so much healthier knowing they can get services whenever they need without going broke.

it’s crazy how much I miss being able to work I’m not even 50 yet & instead of progressing in a career I loved, I have to use all my time & limited energy to manage chronic pain & so many frustrating symptoms from progressive MS 😔 #MiniRant #DisabilitySucks #BrokenMSBrain #IMissBeingACareerWoman

The most unbreakable partnerships are one’s where you can laugh together through life’s ups & downs, supporting each other’s during scary health challenges like cancer scares. I Stand With my amazing husband, who is a survivor 💜 @kimmgaillard.bsky.social #HockeyFightsCancer #DateNight #UtahMammoth

🎗️Gentle Reminder

The best part of this last (very difficult) year has been seeing so many people choose to stop giving into the divisive propaganda & instead develop community support systems, (that our government is no longer providing); while still holding boundaries w/ the people who continue to choose division 🫶🏻

My #MultipleSclerosis manifests neurologically so it feels like I’m often waiting for more functional brain ‘days’ to be able to do tasks that used to be easy Today is the 1st time in weeks that my 🧠 seems somewhat functional. Hoping it lasts long enough to get some of my to-do-list done🤞🏻 #ThisIsMS

It shouldn’t take years & a judge stepping in for any state government to honor what the people voted for but, this is a big step towards finally having our voices heard. #Utah #FairMaps #ThankYou @bbforut.bsky.social & #JudgeDiannaGibson

Accessibility should be the default not a luxury option.

I wanted to take a moment to say, thank you to my BlueSky friends 🦋 So many of you have shared ideas, provided helpful comments, and given different perspectives when I needed it & I truly appreciate each & every one of you. 🫶🏻 #SocialMediaCommunity #ItTakesAVillage

Anyone else following Nikalie on TikTok as she calls churches to see which are willing to feed a starving baby? By my count only 3 out of 22 have offered any help & some have been truly awful. What’s the point of churches having tax exempt status if they do not help people in need? #TaxChurches

🎗️Helpful reminder

I record my medical appts (it’s legal in my state) As I’ve been reviewing the dr’s notes compared to what actually happened, it’s shocking how inaccurate their notes are One appt I was crying & in so much pain I couldn’t respond to ?’s The dr listed patient’s alert, oriented, w/ no distress WTF

Happy Friday??? ☕️ 🫩 ☕️ 🤣 🤣 🤣 🫩 💤

I wish I would have known about and understood the Neurodivergent love languages sooner. It’s so helpful learning to communicate & show love in the other person’s love language or in the way they prefer 🫶🏻 #Communication #StillLearning #LoveTank ⚖️ #LoveLanguage #Neurodivergent 🌈♾️🧩🧠🦋🦉⚙️💭⌛️⨾

I just heard someone say: “Ask a man what he loves best about you. If he answers all the ways you enrich HIS LIFE instead of listing your qualities - RUN”

Definitely feeling this one today 😔 #RememberYouPromisedYou’dSurvive

For many of us, being prepared is essential to feeling safe, as it allows us to live each day to the fullest, with a sense of calm and reassurance. #AnxietyTips

I use to wonder if this was a bit of an exaggeration but, the amount of effort it now takes to just keep my body sitting upright long enough to go to one sporting event with my husband is mind-boggling. #ThisIsMS #HowCanSittingBeThisHard? #DateNight #BestHusband 💞

I thought I would give therapy a try but, I don’t think I get it. It’s only my second appt &, while I didn’t really know what to expect, feeling more frustrated, annoyed, misunderstood, & alone after the appt than I did before, just doesn’t make sense. Maybe I’m doing it wrong.

The difference between the strength of a rope and the weakness of a string is that rope is a hundred strings that have been bound together. #UnitedWeAreStrong ❤️🤍💙 #FightForEachOther

True story & very freeing.

Sadly, this is so true 💛

I’m loving my mint plants & how much they’ve helped soothe this stupid toothache. I can’t imagine how much medication I’d be taking this week without them. Nature is simply amazing! #NaturalRemedies #HealingPlants 🌱

Stand strong when you want to run. Speak when silence feels easier. Fight when you feel like giving up.

I’m having a #FuckMS day It’s so hard trying to mange life when stupid MS symptoms change, not only day-to-day but often from minute-to-minute. Unpredictable mood swings & crazy behavior, (usually so disproportionate to what’s actually going on), is seriously going to fuck up my relationships 😔
