Greek-Mexican fusion is surprisingly good. Like I recently had a taco (soft taco shell) with gyro meat and feta but it also had carne and jalapeños. So yummy!

I won a contest! It's Angel (aka experiment 624) from the 'Lilo and Stitch' franchise. She is so adorable! And free, which is even better. I've been going through such a hard time these last few months and this was such a bright spot in my day.

It costs 0$ to share a Black disabled queer small business! It could lead to my next sale. I sell pins, stickers, compression gloves, artist gloves, hip braces, wrist braces, compression socks, cute bags, walking sticks (selling fast!!) & more! Store: Bibipins.com

#verizon cell phone users, if your phone is stuck on SOS mode and no signal... its a known outage currently active around the entire US.

I’m a cancer survivor. Currently volunteer with ACS (American Cancer Society) as a driver for patients going to and from treatments or doctors’ visits. If anyone cannot afford a checkup, treatment, or rides, please reach out to ACS.

If you received a MMR vaccine between 1963 and 1967 you may want to get your titers checked. As a nurse I had a potential exposure in 2014. When they checked my titers my level for measles was nonexistent. I received two shots.

Happy Holidays everyone!!

Forgot to show you guys, this is what my stylist and I decided on:

Walmart made $20 billion in profits last year, yet thousands of employees rely on SNAP just to survive. Taxpayers are covering the gap while the company thrives. Low wages, big profits — who really benefits?

The city starts getting electricity next month from hydrogen made at a Utah plant – and stored beneath it in a vast salt cavern – to help get to 100% carbon-free power.

My surgery is in about 6 weeks and I've updated the goal. It will all go towards my surgery and post surgery care. Any help is appreciated! Thank you for the support so far!! I greatly appreciate it! 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜⬜ 71% of goal on Ko-fi! ko-fi.com/bibiblossoms...

The family of a Colombian man believed to have been killed in a US strike in the Caribbean has filed what’s believed to be the first complaint against such attacks with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR).

When you argue with me, this is who you're arguing with.

Not sure if anyone has seen the movie "Please Standby". It's about an Autistic Trekkie. No hate to that movie; I thought it was great, but I wish they had cast an Autistic person (preferably one who is also a Trekkie) for that role. I would have loved to play a role like that. Oh well 😮‍💨

Don't drink the water.

The one good thing about Thanksgiving is it's very POTS friendly (lots of sodium).

The cruelty IS THE POINT. These people aren't even human.

Normally I wouldn't need help regarding my surgery costs. But the tariff situation and getting my fulfillment centre to set things up has been taking so long. And manufacturer mistakes have caused delays regarding some products. I've had to refund over 1.5k this month alone. :(

So I'm just coming out of a POTS flare & I didn't realize until just now how much they wash me out. I literally didn't have enough blood volume. I'm ok now. Under a doctors care. Pics taken 2 days apart. Other than the red lipstick on the right, no makeup or filters. Same lighting.

Actually check with your doctor. Don't take internet advice from me. Just be cautious and mention you have POTS if they prescribe it.

FYI. If you have POTS do not take Methocarbomol. I learned that lesson the hard way when Urgent Care prescribed me Methocarbomol for my back. Been off of it for over a week & still dealing with a POTS flare. Only good thing is my PCP said it should completely settle within 3 weeks w/sodium & fluids.

If billionaires like Bezos and Musk paid their fair share in taxes, we could expand Social Security benefits and ensure the program's future for 75 years!

Not sure if any Trekkies can help w/this, but there's a TNG comic (maybe a series?) where they go to the mirror-verse & meet their counter parts. I've seen excerpts online, but can't find it anywhere in print or digital format? Does anyone know where I can find a digital or print version?

Put an address label on the back of things such as your phone or an eyeglasses case. If you ever lose it somewhere there is a better chance of you getting it back. And a lot of organizations when asking for donations often send out a sheet of address labels for free. So zero cost. #lifehack

Here's a fun exercise for you Trekkies. If I was a coffee (you can pick whatever drink you want), I'd be a Troi coffee with half and half (half Barclay and half Data). Who would you be?? You can do the same for Doctor Who or any series really.

Got this fortune from a fortune cookie tonight. Not sure how to feel about this.

Gotta love when the caller ID says 'Potential Spam'. Yeah, that's going to make me pick up 😆

Final result. Winter vs summer. No tanning unless you count going out under the sun tanning. 😄 And this is from 3 beach days (one this past weekend).

In honor of Italian-American Heritage Month, I want to share something. My family came from Sicily. They faced discrimination both there & here. Because of their darker, olive skin they were seen as 'other'.

Let's just pretend I'm on Betazed 😆

I’m creating a fan tribute for Deanna Troi Day on Oct 28. What do you love most about Deanna Troi or Marina Sirtis? It could be a favorite moment, a quote/scene from the show, a picture or piece of art that you created. Please try to keep your responses to 1–2 sentences. Submissions close Oct 21.

October on Long Island is where it can be a high of 80 degrees (Fahrenheit) and sunny one day and a high of 63 degree and rain the next day. I never know what to wear 😆
