Hello, Fellow Butterflies & #Flatties! One of the things that social media is great for, is a warm and supportive #CancerCommunity. We cheer each other on, grieve together, and joke together, because many of us get through this beastie with dark humor.

Leave a reply below if this is you, too.
I fulllly expect, under Bobby Brainworms, to die of some vile Oregon Trail disease. Typhoid, cholera, maybe bubonic plague.
Most folks in the Holocaust did not die of gassing or execution.

They died of disease and medical neglect.

The US is following the same path.
FOUR new deaths in ICE detention. That puts the total this year at 30 people dead; the highest in ICE's history and worse than even during the COVID years.

It's clear that the system is breaking down. Many of these are preventable deaths.

Cisgender kids need gender-affirming care, too. Surgical, if they have a botched circumcision, or genitals are injured via car or other accident. Pharmaceutical care for early onset puberty or gynecomastia.

ALL kids should be able to access the medical care their doctors deem necessary.
Under the proposed rule issued by the Trump Administration today, any Medicare- or Medicaid-participating hospital would be barred from providing gender-affirming care to *any child*, even if the care is not paid for by Medicare or Medicaid.

We do a terrible job in this country supporting folks who have addiction and/or mental health issues.

However, we DO have NAMI.org. NAMI offers support, education, & resources to families in this situation. I just donated to them, and I encourage you to do likewise, or find a way to volunteer.
Homepage
NAMI is the National Alliance on Mental Illness, the nation’s largest grassroots mental health organization dedicated to building better lives for the millions of Americans affected by mental illness.

Can we get him to make personal appearances for them, too? Because that worked SO WELL in Wisconsin.

They're already doing it, if not yet on a broad scale. For now, citizens harassed and detained by ICE are collateral damage.
Trump’s and Miller’s ICE plot is to deport as many people as possible. Once they reach the impasse that 15 million people cannot be deported they’ll move on to disappearing, enslaving, and exterminating. By that point they won’t be focused on only undocumented people.

I don't disagree with Susie here.

If only there had been rational people - say, Secretary of State, or Chief of Staff, with influence over someone with the power to stop that destruction - say, a sane and rational President - this whole mess could have been averted. #SelfOwn

Wholly unsurprised. Monsters gonna monster.
An ICE agent in Ohio was arrested for strangling a woman. But police records show a woman had accused him of strangling her and beating her back in APRIL. He was not arrested back then. She called the cops on him 22 times! This is who Stephen Miller says should be immune from prosecution.

Another good reason to use Tidal, which I love.
"If everyone who streamed All Hell on Spotify had done so using Tidal instead, we would have received an extra £31,847.38, which would double the amount we made from streaming of the album in this time period. Or if everyone used Apple Music it would have been £12,331 more."

For some women who undergo mastectomy for #BreastCancer, reconstruction with implants is the right decision.

Sadly, too many women don't receive a FULL and complete explanation of what it entails, long-term.

Can testify. Been working in bookkeeping & accounting for 35+ years. A handful ARE smart, but most of 'em, esp 2nd/3rd generation, are dumber than doorknobs.

Spotify is garbage on every count: Its treatment of artists, its ICE advertising, the CEO's investment in military AI, its leading role in the commodification and AI slopification of music, its terrible audio quality—you name it.

So I quit, and put together a complete guide to getting off Spotify:
