@maddow.bsky.social I doubt if anybody is reporting this because it sounds too farfetched to be true. It appears on Mikey Weinstein's site www.militaryreligiousfreedom.org/2026/03/mrff...

I haven't been around much, but I've gone from 316 to 250. How is it going with you?

Update on my weight loss journey: Since early last year I have been on a second generation GLP1 drug. Since that time I have gone from 316 to 250 and my goal is 35 more pounds at the least. Self care is also really important because I have chronic pain.

Have you ever stopped to think that people with nonverbal learning disability are not actually blind to nonverbals? We may not contain the context or semantic scaffolding to explain, or they exist in our body as intuition, visceral knowing.

Just because someone is quiet and neurodivergent, it doesn't mean there's nothing below the surface. Maybe we just haven't been motivated to talk to you. Experiencing decades of misunderstandings and bullying create a feeling of protection under threat. Communication is costly.

People often get diagnosed with depression when the actual problem is:

“I no longer know where I belong or how I’m supposed to exist in this world.”

Medication may blunt the pain, but it doesn’t restore where you fit & where you are free to be you. That's existential dislocation not depression..

Sorry that I haven't posted much lately.

U.S. citizen child recovering from brain cancer removed to Mexico with undocumented parents The Texas family was on their way to an emergency medical checkup, they said, when they were detained at an immigration checkpoint.

A 10 year old American citizen, recovering from brain cancer, on the way to a doctors appointment, is detained at an immigration check point & deported.

We’ve truly become a country run by the A🕳️s our parents never intended us to be.

It’s lunacy to abolish a department that’s dedicated to helping all Americans. For what? For tax cuts for Elon Musk? - @rweingarten.bsky.social

In case you had dog and duck play on your bingo card. Here..

BREAKING: Hundreds of Jews and allies have taken over Trump Tower chanting “We want justice, you say how. Bring Mahmoud home now!” and “Fight Nazis, not students.”

The civil disobedience is spawned by the ICE arrest of Palestinian student Mahmoud Khalil.

Leaders approve resolution to make Boston sanctuary city for LGBTQ community In a 12-1 vote Wednesday, the Boston City Council approved a resolution supporting transgender people

In response to attacks on trans people, Boston City Council made Boston a sanctuary city for LGBTQIA+ people. This benefits a much wider array of people which have come under attack lately.

BREAKING: Democratic Rep. Sarah McBride just flipped the script and left MAGA Rep. Keith Self speechless after he intentionally misgendered her. This is amazing.

I am soul crushed and beside myself.

5 and final - maybe slightly delusional best alternatives of some bad options: 1. We positive think us into a better realm and save the day and our environment (probably best scenario) 2. All of us pagans cast some kind of hoodoo medicine that topples the current idiots and hobbles the worst.

Someone is on the down low in the resistance… this I am sure. Some of us are finally coming awake. Me with my near dissociative fugue state where I fade in and out like some elder silent film makes me feel like what can I possibly do. All I can do is my best and I want to give a hug to all of you.

I honestly do not know if elder and disabled people (and so many many more of us) all over this United States will die from lack of medical care or for “crimes against Trump” and so forth for whatever reason they can think up. In a good scenario we have some kind of savior. Anonymous? (3)

I am such a privileged asshole for not being kinder and more aware of the people around me. People around me care. I have a lot of advocates and allies who I have overlooked because my head was up my ass in my own grief. I wish I had cared more and done more and I don’t know what will happen. (2)

I don’t know whether to think all we are doing as elder adults is keeping time and going through the motions until our end, or…. Somehow some power in that great Ethernet cloud in the sky saves us from the billionaires and teenage hacker toadies and thugs, et al. (1)

@lasagnalove.bsky.social I have benefitted. Thank you.

I was approved for Zepbound and started on Saturday. I am hoping to lose at least a hundred pounds.

Thank you for saying. I try really hard to not let my emotions get the best of me.
