Are people reporting in from “war torn” Portland today? Let me guess. Blue skies. Fall weather. People enjoying life.

I have to admit I am curious what is in the Amelia Earhart files and why it was important to keep them sealed for 90 years. But it’s not more important than some other files which we all know what’s in them and they refuse to release them.

I am watching The Resident on Netflix this week and this afternoon just got to the 2020 covid episode and it is so triggering. Remembering back to my friend dying. Me being so sick I didn’t know if I would wake up alive each morning. I couldn’t go to the hospital unless I turned my son over to CPS.

Some CVS’ and Krogers have the Novavax Covid vaccine in stock now in the Houston area. It’s a protein based version instead of mRNA for those who have trouble with the side effects of mRNA.

I find it interesting someone I followed for yrs blocked me bc I clarified a point in their post. Their response was an accusatory “didn’t u click the link?” So I responded back with a question rather than say my autistic brain didn’t let me move forward clicking bc I got stuck w/ ur word choice.

It’s called AL94 now but is expected to strengthen into a named storm (Imelda) today or tomorrow. Track 3 please. #tropics

Being autistic doesn’t mean there is something wrong with me. Many of us are neurodiverse in the world (ADHD, Autism, etc) - it just means we are wired differently. We are amazing human beings who can do incredible things. Some have IQs off the charts. Some need extra help.

Virtually all of my meds, especially the priciest ones, are imported. And January pushes reset on having to meet the deductible again. It literally will kill us.

The tariffs will literally kill us. 100% tariffs on patented pharmaceuticals will mean people will go more broke getting meds or die because they can’t pay the increased costs. Americans pay the tariffs. Not foreign countries. Not companies. Not billionaires. We the people are being squeezed.

The US is a fascist country. Fascist countries do bad things that hurt their citizens.

Who else has their copy of Dr Aimie Apigian’s book in their hands and is excited to read it? I am hopeful that this book shares her methodology enough such that folks who can’t afford her modules can access healing. #BiologyOfTrauma #NervousSystem #BiologyWork #SomaticWork #PartsWork

Having chronic illness is a full time job. - Manage condition and symptoms. - Do daily treatments - Spend hours on phone with nurses and pharmacies figuring out paperwork - Rest (a lot) - Make food that doesn’t aggravate conditions - File lots and lots of disability paperwork

Excited that Novavax has landed in some pharmacies this week and people are getting the shot they want. Still waiting for it to show up in the Houston area!

And, because they disappear people, refuse to let people talk to attorneys and have a trial, and execute people in international waters on suspicion without evidence & hold people indefinitely in inhumane conditions. They drag people out of courts, schools, hospitals & churches & from work.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

We are entering really tough times. And it’s because of people looking out for each other, mutual aid, community support that people survive. 6 in 10 companies expect to lay people off in the next year because of the economic downturn. That means more people will be fighting to survive.

Look at that pumpkin flower opening up! And I noticed at least 2 more buds (not pictured). #Nature #NaturePhotography #Photography #SETX #Texas #ArtYear #BloomScrolling

I wonder if Disney agreeing to reinstate Jimmy Kimmel was all about stopping the hemorrhaging (greed) since it looks like the tv stations are refusing to air the show. Like did they do this on purpose to make themselves look better than they are? Of course only those at the top know.

Just a friendly reminder that autistics prefer language like this “My autistic daughter” And not “My daughter has autism” Being autistic is not something we have. It’s not a disease. It’s a part of who we are and (I believe) how our nervous system developed and operates.

The is a great resource for families with Trans kids to assess risk of traveling to other states in the US. Or even trying to figure out where to safely live. www.erininthemorning.com/p/anti-trans...

I just can’t with today. I’m done.

Every year I throw our Halloween pumpkins under the trampoline to see what they might do. Today I have big beautiful leaves and vines and my first flower! #Nature #NaturePhotography #Photography #SETX #Texas #ArtYear #BloomScrolling

Remember that MLK said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people."

I just want to send a lot of love to #posties and am so grateful for getting to know some of you on that platform over the years and continuing to interact here. A few of you recently have helped me out when I needed it most and I am so appreciative of your kindness and support.

Garage Sale Part 2 happening tomorrow. Opening at 9 am! Apparently only liberals shop at our garage sale as we had little foot traffic today (and people spoke up about politics). The MAGA folks are staying away from us and it’s a MAGA neighborhood unfortunately I live in.

I posted in our local FB Buy nothing group asking for two books that my son needs for Fiction Club at school. Someone responded with where I could buy it. 🤦🏽‍♀️ No. That’s not what I asked. I have a house payment, medical debt and need to keep us fed while unemployed and disabled.

A neighbor commenting this morning that it must be because her husband doesn’t wash his hands enough is why he keeps getting sick and brining it home to them from work. I don’t know why people think hand washing is the only tool. Mask up! Get vaccinated! Use nasal spray! Use hepa air purifiers!

If you are local come to our garage sale. Selling plumerias, homemade hats and a quilt. Plus lots and lots of things marked $1. Raising money to pay down my medical debt. Come buy my things!!!

Happy Caturday! May we all get some sunshine today. #cat #cats #CatsofBluesky #caturday

It is hard to comprehend we have gone from the best economy last December to one of the worst economies in history. All because of one person.

The morning that Cmdr. Elizabeth Nakagawa was scheduled to have a D&C to remove fetal tissue after losing a very wanted pregnancy, she learned the surgery had been canceled because the military’s health insurance plan refused to pay for it. (Published Dec. 2024)

I’m so proud of my kiddo. They understand the ethical and resource issues with using AI and are petitioning their school to stop using AI generated art and to hire a graphics artist to do art for their curriculum.

I remember traveling to Russia in the late 90s and early 00s and being told to be careful because laws and norms change daily. Stay aware. Seems like that advice now applies to the US. A country falling to pieces.

Extortion? Ransom? What a scheme they have going on here.

Boycott Starbucks. They support hate and bigotry.

I sold my child’s art desk this morning! And tomorrow participating in a garage sale. I’ll also have plumerias and hand crafted items for sale. Every dollar goes towards my overwhelming medical bills I have accumulated.

I believe Fri Sept 19 is the last day to apply for this offer. I’m looking for 4 referrals - use link below to help me keep companion pass for one more year. Allows my son and I to travel out of state for our medical appts.

I’m excited to share some crocheted lavender I made for a friend. Shhhh. Don’t tell her! #Crochet #Crafts #crafting #ArtYear#ArtTherapy #MakersGoingToMake

I don’t think Bluesky is turning out to be a safe & welcoming home for us Posties. They routinely ban accounts from people who are trying to survive a fucking genocide. They label slavery posts as self harm. They suspend Trans people 4 speaking truth abt their attackers who wish them dead.

Regardless of the disgraceful nonsense we will likely hear from this administration in the coming days on vaccine “recommendations,” Americas healthcare insurers issued a joint statement tonight saying coverage for Covid and flu shots will remain unchanged from prior years. Speaks for itself.

This is what happens in a fascist country. You can no longer speak the truth.

@support.bsky.team please remove this label immediately. Shame on you for doing this. White owners beat the shit out of their slaves. You can’t whitewash history with your self harm label.
