CEO compensation has increased 1,316% since 1978. And worker compensation? Just 28%. The system is rigged. We need to start taxing the rich so they pay their fair share.

Nine years ago today, 60 people were killed at the Route 91 Harvest festival in Las Vegas, and hundreds more were wounded by gunfire. What should have been a night of music under the open sky became the deadliest mass shooting in American history.

John Steinbeck famously called Route 66 “The Mother Road.” It nurtured not only the dreams of the visitors along the road, but also our nation's growth as a whole. It certainly lives up to that name, and we want to make sure you get to see it and the stops along the way here.

Remember that CPTSD can both mimic & exacerbate symptoms of ADHD, OCD, & even bipolar disorder. There is no psychiatric or behavioral struggle that isn't better understood by factoring in the role trauma may play-- & sometimes understanding the trauma piece can be live saving.

#HealingHearts When the flashbacks & triggers became overwhelming, it required physical distance from the abusers in my life for my physical & emotional health. It broke my heart to stay away from family events. But I can say with confidence today that it saved my life. #CSASurvivor #Pinks 💛💚💜
Maybe that cousin you were always told "never comes to family events because they don't care about anyone in the family" would be at those events in a heartbeat if their abusers weren't also going to be there.

I can't do this anymore, otherwise. Quite honestly, I shouldn't have to. No one should have to. It's unrealistic to suggest medications I've tried & failed 2-5x just because it was so long ago they can't find the records. I've made a personal list of reactions to nearly every med I can't take.

It took several tries, but I got more than 5hrs sleep for the first time in a long time. I wish that the meds that used to help me sleep still did. I've been on so many meds in my lifetime that I'm running out of ideas, as are the doctors. I'm going to speak to my doctors again about alternatives.

😂 Pretty much. I feel like the list of what I don't have is shorter. My Gastroparesis decided I wasn't miserable enough & flared up as well. I blame MCAS for making every system in my body panic. My heart goes out to those of you that can relate. 🫂 We'll get through this together.

I think that my MCAS kicks into overdrive during the fall due to harvesting, ragweed, hay, mold, & dried leaves. I'm allergic AF to almost every tree. I'm near a national forest & very large lake. I'm going to ask my Allergist to increase my Cyproheptadine dosage. That may help.

The pain pill took the edge off. I took Excedrin as well since my head has been killing me for weeks. I see my neuro soon. Once, I was admitted to the hospital for 3 days & given an IV drip. It was the only thing to stop that intractable migraine. That may be necessary this time. Same time of year.

Pain pill taken. I actually have a lot more in the bottle than I thought. Hopefully, it works quickly. Even if it just makes me go back to sleep. I haven't slept well in weeks. So any kind of rest would be extremely beneficial. I hope everyone is having a low pain day. 💙💜

I would call the prison & ask when his parole hearing is & if you can attend or get a letter to the parole board. Doing either can still make an impact. Even if it's for the next time he's arrested.

👑Chronic Pain Princess👑 @cpprincess.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
If he's in jail vs prison, I'm not sure either. I'm sure you could ask the state's attorney in the county office he's detained in. They'd be able to get info to his probation officer.

You could go to their parole hearing, I believe. Or have a letter read to the parole board. But I think maybe you did that?

Don't regret that. Going to court to face an abuser is sooo hard. I've only done it once. And only because I had a legal aid that was well versed in domestic abuse. She told me if I froze she'd block my view of my abuser. I did freeze at one point. She smiled at me & stepped a foot forward.

Thanks, Karen. I hope it does, too. I'm sure it will. They were too strong for me after my last surgery. But they were helpful after with nasty flares. I think there were only 8-10 pills. I think I have 3-4 left. I have several appointments next month. I know I need more physical therapy.

I'm still in a tremendous amount of pain from work. It's so bad that I can barely walk. Sciatica, radiculopathy, Fibromyalgia, Ehlers Danlos, Degenerative Disc Disease, migraines, muscle contraction headaches, etc. I'm a mess. I might have to take one of the pills I've been saving since 2023.
