The Constitution is bold. It was the out-growth of the “progressive”movement of its day.

Imagine having the Divine Right Of Kings proverbial sword hanging over your heads for generations… and then they decide to DIY a government.

Please do not wish disaster on anyone. This mostly affects innocents. Rather wish and work for the growth of empathy and kindness to ameliorate suffering.

Also, that we attain effective justice that affects those who have no empathy and cause suffering.

Aim for the highest goals always. ❤️

Things are moving along in the progressive nature of terminal cancer for my partner. It’s hard times.

As his partner, I am practicing every bit of compassion from the toolbox I learned being a family caregiver.

Aaaand, I lost my keys to my truck.

This government is a well-oiled machine that’s definitely not suffering from internal power struggles hastily papered over as technical mistakes

The employees "were sent incorrect
notifications, which was fixed last night and this morning with a technical correction," a senior administration official said. "Any correction has already been remedied."

They also are getting extra calls and for more time- consuming calls because of lack of staff not just in customer service but other depts as well. The quality of call center training has plummeted.

“Your call is important to us.”

Bullshit.

Many CPTSD survivors have experienced so many trauma symptoms on such a consistent basis that we feel like they've been woven into our personality-- & it can be hard to imagine disentangling who we are from, say, our "fight" response or hypervigilance symptom.

But we can.

lol… I just did that.

Spot on.

Mine took years to manifest, so I was able to be a caregiver. Then I had to get real that my own disabilities were significant and that crossover is hard because you are taking care of people who have it worse.

You’re allowed to identify as disabled, even if you think “others have it worse”.

It’s not something that’s only gatekept by the “most severe”.
Disability is a varied, diverse spectrum.

If your condition(s) affect your life, if they disable you… you are valid.
