8yrs ago I signed up for #ExtraLife for the 1st time. In those years I've raised nearly $10k for Children Miracle Network Hospitals & specifically Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. /1 🧵

Well, I guess that's one way to find out someone you used to know had died.

Sheryl's basic rules for protesting.

(This isn't legal advice. The whole point is to NOT need me. Also, if you're a person who won't suffer any harm from going to a protest no matter what you do, congratulations! Most people aren't so privileged, and stop thinking you're the default.)

I canceled all our sub services & I am nowhere near the $700/mo I need to come up with by Dec 1. Don't know why i thought I could trust my family this time. What's worse is if I could just find a job, we could manage this. I want to work. I'm desperate to work. Instead, I'm about to lose everything.

I'm not.

There's a troop from NYC that is made up entirely of homeless girls/ girls in temporary shelters. You can order cookies from them online and they'll be shipped to you. Look up Troop 6000.

It's amazing to me that after a decade, people are still friends or family with nazis. I mean, what ELSE has to happen? The regime is literally murdering & trafficking children. If that's not your line in the sand, then maybe you need to be looking at yourself.

Lizzy (she/her) @justalizzy.bsky.social · 16h

I have a love/hate relationship with the internet. Part of me is glad it exists, but at the same time, it reminds me how alone I am. I just talk at the void & every now & then someone comments, but as you can see on my timeline, that's very rare. It's just me talking to myself.

Lizzy (she/her) @justalizzy.bsky.social · 16h

I know a lot of ppl feel she's a hero for not stepping down & retiring when she got sick, but it felt selfish to me. It felt like she was blocking other, younger candidates to have a chance because no one could do what she could. And now look at SCOTUS.

No longer being able to dance is one of the hardest things I've had to deal with since becoming disabled. It's a constant state of mourning. Every time a good song comes on, every time my body wants to start moving, I'm reminded again that it's no longer an option. I see you & feel this so hard.

One of these "kids" is a sitting US Senator.

Lizzy (she/her) @justalizzy.bsky.social · 17h

Except I am. At least once a day I have to block someone who equates my existence w/my ability to physically protest. And I do other things, I always have, but no one is interested in what a disabled woman can actually do. Just what I can do for them, in a way they approve of. Or, you know, just kms

I'm actually starting to understand the appeal of having AI to talk to when you have no one else. Loneliness won't kill you faster than any disease, but you'll wish it would. Ask me how I know. #disability

Im allergic to capsaicin. It's not a well known allergy, but it exists. I'm lucky because the barest touch will give me Julia Roberts lips before I can even eat it. Early warning system. I can't do that w/gas. That would kill me faster than I could epi (if I had an epi). Yet I'm expected to protest.

Clarification- this isn't directed at ppl posting options for protesting. That's awesome & abled & disabled ppl can always appreciate having various options. This is to the DO THIS ppl who are literally threatening ppl who don't protest, incl threats of doxxing.

Lizzy (she/her) @justalizzy.bsky.social · 18h

The leftists/liberals/democrats of BS taught me that unless I'm actively marching in a protest, I need to just kms. Literally. Disabled? Better show up to a virtual link at the bare minimum! Pls, take all that ableism & shove it. Stop policing ppl & their activism. You're no better than the nazis.

It does make you unemployable. It's been 3yrs since I've been laid off & w/o a degree I can't even get past the algorithms.

Lizzy (she/her) @justalizzy.bsky.social · 19h

Bad pain/flare/health day today & I've been pretty much bedbound. It's been 11hrs since I've seen another person. No one has checked in or checked on me in those 11hrs. #disability #spoonie #lupus #ThereIsNoVillage

I thought of you immediately when I saw this post.

And yet there are an insane amount of nurses who are antivax. I wish medical facilities had to warn you if they employ antivaxxers.

I have the NY Italian mafia incl a family feud between my grandfather & great uncle Bernie over drug distribution in the neighborhood, a speak easy during prohibition, & jewelry smuggling, but no grave robbing. That's just my dad's side. I'm a little bummed we're out weirded. 😉

I have years of executive admin work, I'd love to get back into it, but can't even get an interview.

Have you noticed that everyone insulting his looks on this thread are using female words/adjectives?

Lizzy (she/her) @justalizzy.bsky.social · 1d

It's interesting. Every time I hear about Isreal and a ceasefire is in relation to shots being fired. I don't think this is working as intended. It never has.
