One of our players built a small vineyard on a hillside... while bedridden with #chronicillness. #Minecraft is extremely therapeutic when you're down. youtu.be/C6V8iqmvwXI?...

This is for people with #chronicillness who haven't heard of #Minecraft but might find a lot of joy in it. I have #fatigue, #chronicpain, and #brainfog, and Minecraft has been a godsend. It keeps my spirits up when my body is down. youtu.be/aWuCkUVotLQ

From my neighborhood in Florida... 🤦‍♀️ I thought a rocket had landed. Happy New Year!

Happy New Year, everyone! There's no telling what 2026 will bring. Hope springs eternal!

Identity politics vs Christian nationalism? What's funny is that the left wants to make the nation more Christ-like while the right views Christianity as an identity.

A MAGA grocery store except instead of eggs and bread on the shelves, it's the heads of those they hate. The only thing their dark lord has delivered at a lower price.

I put curcumin in my dairy-free protein fudge. Curcumin is like an orange dye they could use to bomb bank robbers or porch pirates. My fudge is ummm... of questionable appearance. I'm pretty sure no one else in this house will steal any. I'm eating it with a fork.

I've always been disturbed by the fact that animal shelters look like little prisons. Could they be designed that way on purpose because people are more likely to adopt (or "rescue") an animal from what looks like a cell? Or am I reading too much into it?

They don't need to redact the Epstein files. MAGA cult members will redact them in their heads.

We've declared this Christmas week because I didn't spend all my last energy tokens (i.e. spoons) decorating the house, jacked up on special-occasion prednisone, to turn right around and undo it. #chronicillness #mecfs #longcovid

This happened 15 minutes from my house! youtube.com/shorts/nIy8Q...

When I look for myself, I see nothing at all. But you? You're right there! So who are my eyes actually for?

One of the members of my #Minecraft server created a 25,000 block mushroom! Took weeks. It's quite the spectacle! 😍 (Our server is for people with #chronicillness, #chronicpain, or interest in peer #mentalhealth supports.) secondhavenmc.org

It blows my mind that centuries of democracy may run right off a cliff because six people chosen by a corrupt, convicted con man... say so. It feels like a giant stupid game of Simon Says.

The same kind of men who joined ICE so they can break down doors to tackle brown people are probably the same kind of men who stood in the hallway doing nothing while an active shooter was murdering children in Uvalde. apnews.com/article/shoo...

There but for the grace of God go I. Or if you're Buddhist: There go I.

I've been having similar thoughts. Feels like history is stuck on repeat.

Seems like the latest refrain from Trump supporters trying to stomach his behavior is "He's a character!" Bruh. Bugs Bunny is a character. Trump is a villain.

Our shared hope and outlook on humanity was the bill under debate between me and my spouse. He refused to negotiate. I eventually caved and adopted his cynicism. Looking at it that way, I think I can go back, rediscover my sense of hope, and hold out during any future shutdowns.

Preach!

I think the loss of third spaces (public places to socialize outside of work and home) is a sign of losing the class war. The rich have their own third spaces... from underground bunkers to orbiting rockets.

What if we (the people) all just got together and made a new government? I mean that's what we did the first time right? ~ Drunk me (if I was a drinker)

This was our tomato harvest this year. We live on an acre. For five years we've tried to grow food. It's exhausting: bugs, heat, too much rain, not enough, and on and on. Anyone who says we can all just grow our own food during a shortage or economic collapse is nuts. Anyway these were delicious.

Our #Minecraft Fall Fest was soooo much fun! We all have #chronicillness and often can't leave the house. To be able to join each other in a virtual world and just experience joy again... it's really wonderful. vimeo.com/1134967120

Anyone play #Minecraft ? Check out our little fall fest! My son made a Minecart Shooter game and a giant pumpkin patch. I made a corn maze and bumper boats. Links at Buildhumancommunity.org

Why can't they make shirts out of the same material and stitching they use for the tags?

We are both the light source and the experience of what is illuminated. The source and its rays are inseparable. The three bodies are like this.

I used to think every human living in the Dark Ages was hopelessly ignorant... but now I bet there were large groups of humans around the world watching cruelty and idiocy take over saying, "We're in the dumbest timeline."

Disabled people work incredibly hard just to keep going. Our Everest can be just getting through the next day... Or even the next hour.

Thinking of setting aside my manuscript on the psychology of suffering to start a new book... Don't Be a Dirtbag: Mindblowing Wisdom (apparently) for Today's Modern Human Chapter 1 Nazis are Bad Chapter 2 Women are People Too

Even if pregnant women know they can take Tylenol, an abusive spouse could withhold it, claiming Trump himself condemns it. As always, MAGA/MAHA is ammo for abusive men.

Agreed. My fear is that the mob will go after Democrats in Congress thanks to right-wing propaganda. 😢

What would happen if people dressed up exactly like ICE and went after ICE? How would anyone know who was who?

Just in case no one around you is saying is out loud right now: Things are shitty, the vibes are horrific, you aren't seeing things that aren't there, you are the one having the appropriate response to what is going on. This is not to be a downer, but to acknowledge reality when so many wont

I was meditating on the motivations of evangelicalism (bc tbh true belief is not really so far from my view). Believing in God (esp Jesus) is a group signal that you fear the same things (like doubting God or existence of real right and wrong). I think being "forgiven" is a legit experience bc...

I woke up laughing at 3 am. Some dream character was rattling off a witty rhyme. I wish I could remember it, but it was a nice break from montelukast nightmares.

I agree, let's deport violent criminals who shouldn't be here. Deport ICE!

My German Shepherd has a cute habit... She will not eat her food until she finds one of her old, chewed up tennis balls, gnoshes it a few times, and drops it into her bowl. Then she eats around it. Every night.

"Some children might die of hunger over Thanksgiving break, but at least our leader is an alpha male." - MAGA probably

💡Maybe we learn from the British... put Trump in a lavish palace and pretend he's king while Congress handles the real work of governing a nation.

With the crackdown on data that reveals the failures of this regime, will we know how many die of hunger this November? Let's say hypothetically that the right was correct in its characterizations of the poor, depicting them as lazy. No one deserves a death sentence for being lazy.

Are they building this for Trump or Putin? If Putin moved into the White House, would anyone stop him at this point? (What's the right emoji for utter exasperation?)

In our daily fight against fascism, remember that we're fighting together. That means we can take shifts! Fight... rest... fight... rest. Listen to podcasts... watch kittens... read a news article... make hot cocoa with marshmallows... march in a protest... sleep in for a few days...

If you're feeling hopeless, please know that it's okay to feel hopeless. You don't have to sustain hope all the time.

Maybe this is my chronic pain and fatigue talking, but does it even matter whether Congress reconvenes? They all seem more like court jesters than lawmakers.

Go ahead, Hegseth... keep firing top generals. Fire all of our best military leaders. On an unrelated note, The Last Castle is an amazing movie. Definitely worth the watch. youtu.be/5yOyXG9rheM?...

Human love is not generated as an outcome of unrelated underlying processes. Love is the underlying process. The human expression is what is generated. All beings are motivated by their own expressions of love. Look around. It's all love loving love.

History trivia question: In what era did people give gold bars to kings or their royal servants to gain favors or clemency? A. Ancient/Classical era (Egypt, Mesopotamia, Greece and Rome) B. The Middle Ages C. The Renaissance D. .... sigh 🤦‍♀️

If you know someone with an invisible disability or chronic illness like ME/CFS, please, for the love of god, do not ask them, "Does a part of you WANT to be sick?" No. Not one single speck. Would you ask that of someone who's paralyzed or blind or dying from cancer? #chronicillness #disability
