In an interview with AP, Renee Good's family remembers how she loved sparkles and laughter and any excuse for a celebration. She was “slow to anger, quick to love, quick to care,” said her father, Tim Ganger. “That’s the essence of who she was.” bit.ly/4l0DViP

I am in hell, autoimmune flare hell. Even death has it better than me. I have not felt this badly for a couple of years. Send cute photos.

It has been a little too bumpy the last two months. I am doing some work with my counselor on radical acceptance because I know this (and with a systemic chronic illness):

This body is so frustrating. Yesterday overactive digestion, today underactive digestion. I have symptoms that I deal with every day, they range in severity but are consistent. The symptoms that happen so randomly are just frustrating and exhausting. Ugh. #Sjögrens #Autoimmune

The satisfaction of finally getting that tiny piece of [insetlrt food consumed] that has been stuck in your permanent retainer behind your top teeth.

Making one of the biggest decisions of my life. It's exciting, but also nerve-wracking. 😬

Say hello to the newest member of our family, Scotty (his namesake is Montgomery Scott from TOS).

First time having a whole day of the dysautonomia symptoms I will experience with Primary Sjögrens. I would rather deal with a full on flare-up.

Please remember that before Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good, ICE/CBP also killed Keith Porter and Silverio Villegas González, and shot Marimar Martinez five times.

It finally got framed! The recipient loves it!

Agreed. Also: Been thinking a lot this week about an exchange on here where a bunch of random US POC all realized that each of us had experienced having Irish immigration limit our visit time in the country while white readers hadn’t and how Irish politicians should do something about that

We were just sent Alex’s GoFundMe.

Here comes the video analysis: - Pretti was shot 10 times after they took his gun - He never "brandished" the gun, assaulted an agent - They repeatedly pepper sprayed him at point blank range and beat him when he was down - He was attempting to help a woman who an agent threw to the ground (battery)

What's happening in Minnesota is one reason the Reconstruction Amendments banned insurrectionists from holding office. Unfortunately, the originalists on the Supreme Court interpreted the plain language of the amendment to mean its opposite.

Your calls are working!!

My body is revolting for what I did today. What was that? I looked at some houses, so the most was walking up and down some stairs (all short flights). Stupid.

Things in the U.S. just continue to get worse. Keep fighting, resisting, being kind to yourself. Here is a bit of happiness.

YouGov poll - In the future, would you support or oppose... Eliminating ICE as a federal agency? Support 42% Oppose 45% Reducing ICE’s size and funding Support 48% Oppose 37% d3nkl3psvxxpe9.cloudfront.net/documents/IC...

A video of ICE agents conducting door-to-door searches today in Minneapolis The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming

The fuck is this shit? Tim Walz promised his state's National Guard wouldn't let this happen. Where are they, Tim? Where are YOU? Why the fuck aren't you THERE? Why are you letting them run roughshod over the Fourth Amendment? THIS IS UNCONSCTITUTIONAL. FUCKING DO SOMETHING.

Ugh. I am not wanting to cause drama at my day job, but dude if you haven't done case management don't tell those doing it how to do it! I get you are trying to sound smart, but the mansplaining! I have been a case manager for 10 years. You are telling people the wrong thing and overstepping. Ugh.

This December hasn't been the best for numerous reasons. It's been warmer than normal here in SE Idaho, we don't have snow & there are no gifts under the tree so it doesn't feel like Christmas. In an attempt to boost my mood I'm making homemade cinnamon rolls w/homemade buttermilk & Ermine frosting.

This is one of our favorites!

Blessed Solstice. May light and warmth bless your days ahead.

This month officially sucks. Next month sucks, too. Everything just fucking sucks.

The last few years have given me some not fun things medically for my birthday. This year I got sick, and now my car is dead on the side of the road. It's cold. I need to pee, and there is no where nearby to do so, and I am 5 minutes from being home after a long ass road trip. Happy birthday to me.

I am spending Thanksgiving with some of my bio-family for the first time after finding them 3 years ago! I get to meet some that I have yet to meet. It is going to be great, but also emotional.

Holy moly did we get a close shave from an asteroid last week: it missed Earth by *230 km*! Barely above the atmosphere. OTOH it was only about the size of a beachball, so no worries either way. Meet 2025 UC11. badastronomy.beehiiv.com/p/a-wee-aste... 🔭🧪

Quite the narrative summary of this political moment:

Just heard on the news that the only other time(s) that we have had the longest government shutdowns were twice, TWICE, during the first time Drump was "in" office. Huh. I do not believe in coincidences.

The level of contempt for my body is ever increasing and knows no bounds. #Spoonie #Autoimmune #Sjögrens

Well here it is: The Pentagon just ordered states' national guards to form "quick reaction forces" to subdue "civil unrest/crowd control". Also Trump ordered the Pentagon to begin nuclear weapons testing to resume. Facism. In our faces. If you disagree or vote red, you are part of the problem.

I just discovered that my birthday is National Solidarity with the Palestinian People. 11/29 for those who wish to honor the Palestinian people. Also, Enos was sent into orbit on top of a Mercury-Atlas rocket on 11/29/1961.

Okay this salad is so damn good! I highly recommend it. Balsamic greens and grains with chicken from Panera Bread. Seriously. So. Good. #HappyBelly #MediterraneanDiet #AllTheVeggies
