My faves: Making art. Crafting. Doctor Who. Marvel. MCU. Star Trek. Jordan Peele movies. Ryan Coogler movies. Fashion. Lagenlook. Books! “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”. “Auntie Mame”. MCM everything. Gardening. Board games. So much music, ie Nina Simone, Robert Johnson, Al Green, R.E.M. & The Honey Trees.

I’ll respond in a bit… we’re tied up with a few things right now. I just couldn’t resist checking my phone. 😂

So, to summarize: United Healthcare sucks rocks. Medicare sucks rocks. And having to choose new insurance blows.

… also have a PCP, endocrinologist and orthopedic doc I like.

So of course, for the first time in 8 years, my Medicare Advantage insurance has booted me. I don’t know why/can’t make sense of it. But now, I get to choose a new plan that will cover my providers plus my very pricey meds.

A tiny rant: My therapist and med provider are both at the same clinic and I quite like them both. My med provider has gotten me on a good regimen and, as far as #bipolar goes, I’m feeling loads better and am managing. I was in a very dark place before she began treating me.

I’m stealing a line from my favorite horror show guy, Nostalgiaferatoo on #svengoolie:

For it is I, < redacted >, Sovereign of the Psyhotic!

Screenshot of Nostalgiaferatoo on “Svengoolie”. He looks like a cartoonish Nosferatu, a vampire with white skin, bat ears, darkened gray lips and dark charcoal circles around the entire eye area. He holds a candelabra and gestures vaguely with his other hand.

and rubber bullets at protestors’ heads and we just can’t risk him getting hurt. And my wrists don’t come together in back due to an orthopedic issue, were I arrested, and I would prefer not to end up with a dislocated shoulder, broken bones or worse.

Hope you feel better. 💐 🩷

I hope you’re feeling better. Your aunt too. 😊

His brain bleed was caused by an AVM, a congenital blood vessel malformation, and it ruptured a few years before we met. It’s created some health problems that eventually led to him having to go on disability.

I know how cops love to shoot beanbags

Thank you. I really needed this. My partner and I are both disabled and wouldn’t necessarily be able to help the other sufficiently if one of us was injured. I was a lifelong activist until a few years back, but now… there’s no way. And my partner is in no way able to risk injury or illness. 💙

So many folks in my mentions feeling terrible for not being able to protest today b/c of disability, illness, or mental health: GIVE YOURSELF GRACE

It’s GOOD for us to find as many ways to fight as possible. The bigger the variety of resistance the better. All you have to do is anything. That’s it.

Erin Biba @erinbiba.bsky.social · 23h

Disabled folks feeling guilty for not protesting today: *it is not your fault* that organizers don’t make an effort to make protests accessible and don’t encourage masking

And despite what folks on Bluesky would have you believe, there are MANY ways to resist and protests don’t have to be your way

One of my fave photos from today.

Loved that the folks leading the chants were regularly including trans rights.

WHEN TRANS RIGHTS ARE UNDER ATTACK, WHAT DO WE DO?

I'm sure the president, famously known for his obsession with crowd sizes, will be fuming about the turnout of this year's #NoKings.

Here's what "No Kings" Looked Like Across the World

It certainly wasn't a "Hate America Rally."

@mehdirhasan.bsky.social at No Kings: Israel for the past week has violated the ceasefire again and again killing Palestinians with impunity. Yesterday they killed 7 Palestinian children during a ceasefire.
