Do you know how hard you have to be masking your *inattentive adhd* and join the US Air Force, a branch of the military where attention to detail is a core value? And how HILARIOUS it is? And how wasn't i diagnosed till I was 40?🤣🙃🤷‍♀️

My problem with traveling up north is I really don't want to leave. Born to be a yooper, sadly a troll. 🤣🤷‍♀️ Maybe someday I can live my isolated dreams.

I just want to reassure @mishacollins.bsky.social that this was absolutely appropriate and hilarious. Big bros are gonna big bro when they get the chance. He is the only one who calls me that, and has for 40ish years. 🤣😎 Thank you for being so rad and thank you for my new addition to my wall 🥰

NEW: Pope Leo XIV told the world’s press today that the Catholic Church’s moral imagination has long been too narrowed to sexual ethics — and that war, migration, and human dignity are the “much greater, more important issues” of our time.

Ghislaine Maxwell, a convicted child sex trafficker, gets gardening time, sports, therapy dogs, and spa products in prison. Migrant children in custody are sleeping on concrete floors without enough food or clean water. Our priorities are so fucked.

MASSIVE good news for trans people in the United States. A federal judge has just granted class action status to transgender people looking to update their passports. This means that very shorty, the window will open to update your passports with the correct gender marker.

Ya know, maybe if the movie has so many elements that don't work in a "live action" film, maybe it shouldn't be made. Lilo and Stitch is my absolute favorite movie of all time and means so much to me. I'm truly saddened by the changes. I won't even bother seeing it till it's out on streaming now.

I used to be smart, confident, and busy and extroverted. MS & PTSD from the Air Force have now left me bored, feeling dumb, drunk half the time (not actually. Just a symptom). But work was such a focus in My life that I don't even know what to talk about with friends anymore. So I just...don't.

Sorry for being randomly emo. I'm doing okay, just stressing about health and looking thru pictures and seeing who I used to be. If I'm not working and doing what I did... Who am I? See- THAT'S why I don't reach out to people much. That and my brain sucks. 🤣😭🫤

This will kill veterans. Full stop.

KRDO [Mar 16] -- Veterans Admin will no longer provide hormones for trans vets. Said a VA spox: "if Veterans want to attempt to change their sex, they can do so on their own dime." VA estimates indicate that <9k of the 9m veterans enrolled in VA health care are trans. [@rikiwilchins.bsky.social‬]

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration works on two of the most urgent U.S. health problems and has generally received bipartisan support. By the end of this week, the staff of the agency could be cut by 50%, according to senior staff members.

The Dems need to read the damn room. I just received an email from Former Prez Obama, asking for donations to the party. ....DO SOMETHING. Most of us are worried about our incomes and retirement and can barely afford groceries. Stop asking for money and use what you have to get shit done. 🤬

There is NO fking way I will contribute to the Dems. I keep getting these emails asking for money when we're all broke, going into a recession and they've done NOTHING. Maybe more people would donate if more action was happening.

NEW: An anonymous source has told me that because of the suspension of government purchase cards, a VA hospital is unable to buy supplies like bleach and batteries.

Okay. It's time to start showing up at their offices. Tom Barrett is a veteran and still scared of his constituents? Unreal.

After weeks of protests over DOGE-driven cuts, GOP lawmakers are signaling that they're likely to move away from in-person town halls.

I know my Polish ancestors are SCREAMING from their graves. I hate that nearly all my Polish Granny's children voted for this. 🤬 I am furious at this current administration and at everyone forgetting that Russia is our fucking adversary. Trump and this whole administration are absolutely traitors

Among the more inhumane things Trump/Musk have done this week, DOGE cut off food, water, & fuel to the US embassy in South Sudan. They are living on what power the generator can provide. The country has no potable water & there's a cholera outbreak in the country. These Americans are in real danger.

If your rep won't do a town hall, set one up yourself, invite the community, and call in your local news to cover their absence.

The Republican response to public anger is not to listen to their constituents — it’s to hide from them.
