We’re calling for a Florida boycott over the inhumane “Alligator Alcatraz” detention site. Cancel your family vacation and choose a different destination this summer.

Learning to rest is crucial when you’re chronically ill.

If you try and play through the pain, you can permanently set back your baseline.

Make sure you remember to rest your brain and your body.

That crushing brain fog that feels like scrambled eggs in your head?

That’s a warning sign to rest

Disabled people aren’t “choosing” to be sick.

They can’t “try harder” to be well.

It’s not about how hard we fight or whether we want it bad enough.

Disability is not a moral failing.

Many of us were just like you, until we weren’t.

Its one of the only minority groups you can join at any time
A little bit of zen from my backyard in Vernon BC. I'm sorry you're dealing with sad things. Good work reaching out for soul soothing - that's how we get through all this.

If you’re participating in No Kings this weekend, document everything.

Upload to social media, but store in another more secure place. Keep a hard copy. Back it up.

Tell your story. Write down atrocities by hand if you can. Keep it somewhere safe.

Future generations are counting on us.

She just gave one of the most iconic speeches ever
- it's cheaper than poverty
- encourages work and entrepreneurs
- cuts crime and helps victims of abuse

Choosing to wear a mask is a radical act of kindness, resistance and community care.

It’s a simple yet profound way of saying “I care about my health and others”

In this time of rising fascism, survival is resistance. Refusing to treat anyone as expendable is resistance.

Masking is powerful
Yes, TOTUS hates it!

“Only sick kids die from covid/measles”

“Only the vulnerable need to worry”

“Just stay home”

“Your health is not my responsibility”

“How many comorbids did they have?”

These statements feed directly into fascism & eugenics.

Don’t make it easier for them to eliminate us. We aren’t expendable.

May you find peace and joy today, noticing the glimmers and celebrating them. Every little bit helps, especially now while so much is dangerous and awful.

Share your glimmers here, I want to see, too!

I wear an N95 to all concerts (and indoor shopping, etc), and I'm routinely the only one. I wish more bands would make this request
Wishing you peace and glimmers. We gotta get through all this somehow. I'm relying on small beautiful things to help me. Maybe they help you too?

I love the visitors that come to my yard!

More types of bees than I've been able to show you, plus the little butterfly who didn't let me get close.

This right here is how I fill my cup. How do you fill yours?
