A bright rainbow sweeps across the image in bold bands of pink, purple, blue, green, yellow and orange. Over the top, in thick black handwritten lettering, the words read “You don’t need to have all the answers to be enough.” The colours are vibrant and uplifting, with the message centred and easy to read.

We don’t need to have it all figured out.
Curiosity will take us further than certainty ever will.
You are already enough. 🧡

I can relate to getting burned with sunblock. 😂 I got a slight sunburn the other day from sitting in the car for a long time. Farmer's Markets are so fun. I'm glad that you now have access to those things.
Funny, those are the ones that I have the most trouble with, also. The D3 might be better because of the sun. I guess better produce is possible, also.
That's a good idea to mention those these. I've been deficient in so many vitamins over the years. I know what you mean about iron pills. I couldn't take them. Not even gentle iron. I had to have transfusions, too. It took months. 3 hours each infusion. But I felt a little better with each.
They keep checking my A1C. I've had glucose tests I had to fast for, but not for a while. I'm going to mention this to my primary & neuromuscular doctor. I feel like they're missing something. I've been prediabetic for about 15 years or so.
I'm glad I see my old primary doctor in a couple weeks. Since August, I've been shivering from being cold. Even when thyroid levels are optimal range. I get goosebumps daily, from head to toe. Sometimes, the goosebumps are painful. It happens every night, but sometimes during in the day. So weird.
They really should make smaller portions. At this rate, it'll take a few days to eat it all. 😂 My son is weirded out by how infrequent grocery shopping is now. I keep eating the same stuff, too. He bought a vanilla protein powder for shakes. I'm glad I can have it. Most things make me dizzy.
Geesh. It must be tricky with Diabetes. 🫂
I've been eating twice a day for about 20yrs. Now, I drastically cut down the amount at meal times, & often can't eat more than once. New territory for me. I hope I lose the weight I gained back & then some. I'm the heaviest I've ever been.

"Listen up dude, you don't want to be messing with our Pope," says Italian street cat.

Thinking of my older sister, Dawn.
She's an unseen cat now, but she taught me how to push mom into the best sleeping positions.

Rest well, Jinxy.
Say goodnight to Jinxy.
Your Gastroparesis sounds worse than mine. 🫂 Mine is just now getting to be where I have to nibble or I'm very sorry. Mine's still pretty bad I assume as I need Linzess & Motegrity or I'm in terrible pain. I've been Pyridostigmine for years, that's also helping though prescribed for another issue.
Ugh, sorry to hear you couldn't stay on them. Glad you're able to keep the weight off. I was on Victoza, which was brutal to my stomach. Trulicity was bad every time we tried to increase the dose. I gained back the 70lbs I lost in a couple months after insurance stopped covering. Now on Zepbound.
I've been thinking this for years.
My son made us 2 lovely meals today. I feel bad, but I can barely eat. I restarted GLP1s (had to pay out of pocket 😡) & Gastroparesis at work, I assume. I'm ready for another little nibble.
A must listen to what #BruceSpringsteen has to say, “this is happening now.”
A meme featuring two men lying in a hospital bed, facing each other. The man on the left has his eyes closed and looks exhausted, labeled with the text "Me, Still Trying to Recover From a Bad Flare." The man on the right is wide awake with a steady, intense gaze, labeled "My Next Flare." At the top of the image, yellow text reads, "I NEED A BREAK FROM THIS:" and the mybodyistryingtokillme.com
Would you say the worst part of your illness is the pain, flu symptoms, fatigue, or the severe brain fog?
Me: Yes
When you're chronically ill, dating is just telling the other person stories about how you used to be fun.
Double middle fingers to that guy.
A bold graphic with a deep navy blue background and gold vertical borders on each side. At the top, the Thriving Autistic logo shows a gold infinity symbol above the text "Thriving Autistic" in white. Below in large white and bold white text: "You cannot be neuro-affirming and supportive of Autistic people without challenging racism, transphobia, and ableism." The website www.thrivingautistic.org appears at the bottom in small white text.
Autism Acceptance Month means nothing without intersectionality. We need to move beyond acceptance to actively supporting all Autistic people, challenging racism, transphobia & ableism.
Every Autistic person deserves justice & belonging.

For those of us who have suffered ongoing abuse from young childhood onwards... We don't have a 'pre-trauma' us. We don't know what it is like to not be someone suffering and surviving abuse. All we know is being someone, trying to survive abuse and all the severe lifelong effects of prolonged child abuse. ~ Lily Hope Lucario

Some of us don't have a 'before'. We were born into an abusive life and it's all we know. We live our lives not knowing what safe is; who we can trust.
It takes much longer to get to a safe place. I know it's hard. I hope you keep going. 💐

when someone asks what living with an autoimmune disorder is like [pic of Jim Carrey freaking out and saying 'i'm kickin' my ass - do ya mind!'
All of us must be civil rights activists at this moment.
Just like those who showed up, stood up, and spoke out today at the National Action Network’s 2026 Convention.
If we don’t have a fair election in November, we won’t have any more elections.
I hope everyone had a relaxing day. Sleep well, friends. 🌙
