Memories surfaced today, along with news that two more people in cancerland have died. As I approach 10 years of survivorship, I can’t help but wonder why I’m still here and they’re not. The fear of recurrence is real.

America really does have a five‑alarm fire in the White House: a president who openly says the only authority that can stop him is “my own morality. My own mind,” while standing on a record of criminal convictions, financial scams, and armed resource grabs abroad

We could bridge more of that gap of life after 39 because if not us then who? #AYACSM

From @huffpost.com: Pamela Hemphill, who participated in the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol, testified before Congress that she "had fallen for the president's lies."

I couldn’t agree more! It will happen! #AYACSM
A3: I really want to re-build this community here again on this platform. It was always such a moment of joy in the month - when research/advocacy is otherwise isolating at times. Community is my word for 2026. #AYACSM

Q2: Which #AYACSM advocacy plans do you have laid out for 2026 and do you need help promoting them?

So close!

It is, also our pediatric/AYA cancer survivors commonly deal with disability, ongoing medical issues, and no show appointments.

My advocacy priorities are finishing this degree (Spring '27!), and I'm starting a project regarding people who have been discharges as patients for 'no show' appointments due to disability or illness related issues. I've been finding people this is happening to.

#AYACSM
Q1: As we usher in 2026 during an ever-changing sociocultural historical context, this is no doubt a challenging time for everyone – in different ways. Feel free to weigh in on this.

Looking ahead, what are your advocacy priorities for 2026? #AYACSM

I DID IT! 🙌🏽 I finished putting the chaise together on my own. With chemo-induced #neuropathy in my hands, I kept dropping screws & couldn’t hold the angled pieces in place. Then I got creative, used sofa pillows for support, and got it done. Determined. Proud. Tired. #singlelife

Being single with chemo-induced #neuropathy in my hands makes DIY so hard. I spent 5 hours building a bookshelf last night, dropping screws the whole time, but I finished. Now I’m stuck on a heavy angled chaise I can’t lift… and I’m sitting on the floor crying in frustration.

Given how often he posts about this, it seems less like reassurance for others and more like he’s trying to convince himself that he passed the cognitive exam.

For over two thousand years Christians have been warning us about the antichrist.

My 2025 recap reminded me that, even in a painful year, I STILL found JOY. Disheartened by the rot of racism & misogyny in this country. It was loud, visible & cruel.

Joy & rage CAN coexist. Cheers for more compassion, intentionality, and healthy boundaries. #HappyNewYear2026 #joy

The orange felon says the Epstein Files are a “Democratic Hoax” and yet he still felt it necessary to doctor documents and hide evidence whilst redacting everything that would be damaging to him.

That’s called GUILTY AF.

I can’t believe I’m ending the year 10 years NED. I was dx with invasive #lobular in my 30’s. My feelings are complex, so here’s a short blog post about it. #breastcancer #survivorship #blogger

10 Years NED: A Survivor’s Journey
I’m ending this year officially 10 years NED — No Evidence of Disease. Some people call it remission. I like to say I’m in a long-term relationship with NED.

It’s time for a little #Christmas romance with the movie Festival of Trees! 🎄✨ Why am I sharing? Because I was an extra in the party scene!

Stream it this year on Amazon Prime, Tubi, and more! I giggle with delight every time I spot myself. Such a fun, festive memory! #movies #joy
