Tory Brown (she/her) @downtowntbrown.bsky.social · 23/07/2026Today is chemo day #1! I'm warmed by a fuzzy sweater, blanket, and socks. I'm full of warm fuzzies from your outpouring of love and support! The doctors, nurses, and staff have been wonderful. The treatment path is very clear and promising. I plan to be a rabblerouser for a long time! 6461
Tory Brown (she/her) @downtowntbrown.bsky.social · 22/07/2026It's a big fucking bummer to share that I've been diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer. I start chemo tomorrow, and surgery will follow. I have decent health insurance, a wonderful support system, and the stubborn insistence I won't let one shitty titty take me down. Please send good vibes! 421251

Tory Brown (she/her) @downtowntbrown.bsky.social · 30/06/2026There's a reason we urge kids to play sports, spend education money on athletic departments, and use mascots as unifying symbols. Playing games is a fundamental human endeavor. Being on teams gives a powerful sense of belonging. Learning rules and getting up off the mat teach us important values. 180
