I did a thing.

Six years post #COVID, I drove (alone) for an hour to meet a new friend. I stayed #calm in a crowded cafe for 3 hrs then drove home.

Huge win(s). ♿️

I insist on having a LIFE, dammit.

Watch me #recover. 🫶🏼

My #ancestors painted canvases and wove baskets during their #institutionalizations.

In 2026, I connect virtually from my bed as I enter & exit #trauma #PHP at #McLeanHospital.

I #crochet pussy hats after my sessions.

I continue to recover as the world burns down.

I'm #disabled, not dead. ♿️
