Trigger Warning: Flashing video

When I think of campaigning I need to do, the anxietv kicks in.

When the anxiety kicks in, my insomnia ramps up.

When my insomnia ramps up, my mental health takes a kicking.

My life is existing within Catch-22.

Still sending #tiny #donations (less than $20) to causes that matter to me.

I choose a new cause every month.

My acts of #rebellion are small. Very small.

I try to focus on both #local and #national issues.

My tiny gifts sometimes yield lovely #rewards.

I can't wait to read this book of #poetry!

Thank you, #UCS. 💙

Rebellion against #tyranny is literally in my blood; my people founded #Boston!

(Huzzah!) 🇺🇸

As a #disabledactivist I look for manageable ways to #protest

Did you know that #gardening is a form of #rebellion?

My #ancestors did.

And now you know, too. 🫶🏼

Get to it, then. 🐓🧑‍🌾🫜🌳

#genealogy #history

Today's assignment:

I send #postcards for a reason

They can be read by every person who touches them along the way

Just my small way of letting others know that they are not alone in their righteous fury

And maybe, they too will be inspired to act

#wethepeople #unitedwestand #disabledactivist

Good morning @getyourfoxyback.bsky.social!

Today, this #disabledactivist is writing #lovenotes to all her fave #GOP #sycophants

And their #inept and #befuddled leader #DJT

#Postcards, so #EVERYONE can read the msg as it journeys south

So all know that they are NOT alone in their fury

#amwriting

My latest #disabledactivist move:

I just ordered a TON of these postcards. Every week, I'm gonna send one to the #WH

I'm going to list just ONE thing that #DJT has done that week to try and destroy our country

Then I'm gonna end it by saying

(every. single. time.)

WE WILL IMPEACH YOU!

#resist

Another tip from a ♿️ #disabledactivist

#Protests are #grassroots #movements

If you are unable to attend #rallies, you can still support them

Every penny counts

I sent a tiny donation ($10) to #MoveOn today

I will be in #Concord tomorrow because the Regulars are already here 🏮🏮

What a #disabledactivist can do.

#Email your elected officials. These are mine:

US Senator Elizabeth Warren
US Senator Ed Markey
US Rep Stephen Lynch

(find yours here: house.gov and senate.gov)

And below, what I said to them.

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

#Politics are personal. 💙💪🏽🫶🏼

Photo shows a grouping of postcards with the mailing addresses of Boston press outlets written on them.

#press #postcardblitz #boston #massachusetts

Here, in case ya need the mailing addresses.

I'm #writing to demand they cover the #political #protests.

LIVE.

No more half-baked, barely researched two minute soundbytes like I saw and heard after #handsoff. 🙄

#bedprotest #disabledactivist

What my #workday looks like.

I've already #emailed my #electedofficials (federal level). I reminded them that #Congress holds the power of the purse.

I expect them to DO THEIR JOBS.

It's now time to #postcardblitz the #press outlets.

(The #NECCO wafers? My late Dad loved em 💙)

#disabledactivist

Interview went well! 👍🏼

We'll see if anything comes from it.

If nothing else, it felt good to talk about past accomplishments and ongoing personal goals.

Selling oneself in a country that's now full of #unemployed "more abled" ppl is scary.

Now back to my real job ✍🏻
