Hi! My name is Paige!👋🏻 It’s nice to meet you.

The absolute nightmare of going outside right now is how freaking overstimulated and hot I get while getting dressed. Once I’m out the door, the cold air feels like relief.

In spite of all the evil, I take heart in the people far and wide I see standing together.
This is the America and the world I fight for: One where we love our neighbors and stand together for what is right.
May the evil of this day meet justice.

Grew up spending summers in Minnesota. It’s my dad and grandparents’ home state. And I’m so proud of the people for standing up for what is right. 💕

Lmao. Our parents wanted us to be brilliant world changers.
Instead they got five adult children with various psychological conditions middling through adulthood. 😅 TBH, we’re having an okay time.

If I had a dollar for every time I have been stopped for having too many at TSA, I could afford dinner at the airport.

Full of grief. In addition to the horrors, the admin just cut $2 billion to mental health and addiction funding. Over 2000 grants revoked.
I have lost friends to substance abuse battles, and it’s only through programs that my own sister was able to get clean after years of addiction.

I am saddened to hear of the passing of a civil rights leader and former constituent, Claudette Colvin.
At just 15, she refused to give up her seat on a segregated bus, serving as a catalyst for the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the end of segregation.
Rest in power, Claudette🕊️

If you in any way support what happened to Renee Good or are supporting any of what is happening and consider yourself a Christian.
You are the people in John 8 wanting to cast stones, you are those who put Jesus to death. You are in darkness. Woe to you.

I think if I can take comfort in one thing, it’s that my closest friends, the ones I’ve chosen from elementary school to the present day are fighting against this regime in the ways they can.

The MMR vaccine is one of the first vaccines I remember getting. It was my second dosage, right before beginning kindergarten. I remember my doctor called it “the Barney shot” because it was purple.
Today I got it updated because I was no longer immune to mumps.
Stay vaccinated kids.

If my socks don’t coordinate to my outfit, just know I’m having a terrible day and am resigned to it.
Seriously. Something is truly wrong with me personally if this is the case. Send help. Preferably in the form of an allergy friendly treat.

Sometimes I tell myself the stories of what my parents did when I was a child so that I can remember to keep healthy boundaries.
In healing it can sometimes be hard to remember that I’m the one who has changed. Not them.
They are still not safe.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Prepping to preach again this Sunday. Again, I'm preaching on something that I have been meditating on for years.
I sat down to type my thoughts (after much hand writing prep) and knocked out 5 pages, single spaced. Have a little more to finalize tomorrow.

If you ever wonder what I’m thinking about. It’s probably the nature of light and how it relates to the character of God.

My parents are terrible gift givers. My mom buys gifts that I either immediately donate or throw away. My dad used to buy me “hate” gifts (like anti-Christian books).
Occasionally I get something nice if I ask specifically or buy it myself, they’ll reimburse. Which is fine…?

The exec branch is defacing public property. When will Congress actually just go chip the letters off the building instead of waiting for a hearing?

So I appreciate that all the doctors are doing safety checks but yesterday I told my OBGYN that I could take my husband in a fight…and now I fear she’s worried for his well being.
He’s fine. We’re fine. The only time we lay hands is to pray.

Is there a German or French word for when you finally go to the ER and you feel like your symptoms lessen as you’re waiting to be seen? Or is that a uniquely American experience?
