It’s been a while but I drew up a quick post with what I use to take care of my lips considering #MCAS and #angularcheilitis issues.

A headline reads: "Rachel Handlin Might Be the First Person with Down Syndrome To Receive an MFA. Step Inside Her New Show." The artist Rachel Handlin is posing with her field camera and a steel self-portrait sculpture during her solo show at White Columns, a gallery in Manhattan. She is wearing a black top, a silver skirt and black boots. Photo by Lanna Apisukh for The New York Times.
Rachel Handlin is possibly the first person with Down syndrome to receive an MFA, and one of few to hold a bachelor’s degree. Her first solo show features portraits of people with Down syndrome across the globe who have graduated from two- or four-year colleges. nyti.ms/3OVlkp9
And each new cohort of nurses will continue to suffer the consequences because these learning-resistant a-holes at the top refuse to mandate masking in healthcare settings and invest in air purification. Masking is a tool of the trade. SARS2 & other viruses are still debilitating people. Mask up!
Ouch
This one goes out to all of you who said there weren't problems at state lines anytime soon

I’m new to being out as #queer. What’s the protocol when you spot a fellow queer in the wild? Do I salute? Peace sign? A flirty wink? (I need to practice winking cutesily)
I’m grieving the loss of a body I can trust and struggling with what it means for the future.

Ok so I figured out that Lexapro was missing from my latest PillPack so I haven’t been taking it for a week. 🫠
I agree completely. But where do e gather to decide? 😂
Wow that really sucks
I wrote all about mine on my blog. It’s rough out there because most doctors have way too little way too outdated info on hypermobility. You might not have Ehlers-Danilo’s but there are tons of CTDs.

Do we have queer, chronically ill, and disabled folks (including scientists who I’m told are people too) over on Mastodon too or no?
I made a personal account on mastodon and so far it’s all scientists and mathematicians posting about coffee and science (which is great) but I’m not sure if that’s all I’m seeing because I used my real name and some IRL contacts and the algorithm is algorithming.
Do I need to be on Mastodon? Are we using BluSky and Mastodon for different things? Is Threads a real thing that we’re doing?
Anyone else exactly three seconds and just one more goddamn thing away from a complete mental break? 🙋🏼♀️

Y’ALL. Why have I never left on my compression socks for sex before?

Heard something amusing today that reminded me of an old friend. For just a fraction of a second I thought “I should message them and see how they are,” before remembering that I can’t. It’s been just over three years now. #grief
Anybody know a librarian who focuses on youth literacy, comics, graphic novels, etc? Or anyone who can speak to these topics? We are looking to record a patreon ep with them to answer a listener question! Will share more!

Lavender and white background and text. Exclamation mark with a text box that says “Huzzah! This book contains Queer content!”
I am working on a post where I recommend books based on mood/vibes. I keep veering off into “productive procrastination” by doing things like making this sticker to add to the Queer books in the list.
Whenever I'm feeling sad, I just sing myself a little song to cheer up!
🎼 Oh, my spine is crooked, and my brain doesn't work.🎶
🎼 My joints are bogus, and everything hurts! 🎶

Four packages of Pure and Orange NormaLyte on a table with three pairs of compression socks. The socks are all branded with NormaLyte, but have different designs. One is black with orange and blue droplets, one is blue with clouds and orange and blue droplets l, and one is black with reddish paw prints. There is also an enamel pin that says low on spoons.

I bought extra Normalyte this month to stock up to get the bulk discount but also to get these dope compression socks.

Yeah I need the internet to at least align on where we’re going to abandon Twitter so I can keep the number to 5 instead of 13 🤦♀️
Blue yoga mat on on the floor with a turquoise stepper, navy bolster, small chirp wheel, blue foam pad, and a catnip banana toy.
One of these things is not like the other.
I got my equipment out for some gentle exercise, and when I came back after making breakfast there was a mysterious new addition. 😂
