Dr. Amelia Pridemore @drpridemore.bsky.social · 18/07/2026I’ll say what I did when I first reached out to you: RESPECT. I now have three anniversaries coming soon, and I’m still raw. So just know you’re not alone out there. Sending my love 💜🖤 010
Dr. Amelia Pridemore @drpridemore.bsky.social · 11/03/2026I have a repeat special request. Can you all think of me in whatever ways your beliefs or lack thereof compel you to do? Things have been dark for some time, but I’m finally seeing rays of light. ☀️🕶️ 000
Dr. Amelia Pridemore @drpridemore.bsky.social · 05/01/2026So I’ve been quiet on purpose as of late. I’m going to have to reman that way for the foreseeable future. Things are terrible now. That’s all I will say. But I have a special request. Please think of me in whatever way your beliefs of lack thereof compel you to do. I surely need it. 120
Dr. Amelia Pridemore @drpridemore.bsky.social · 28/10/2025I come from rural West Virginia, and it’s called “Trump Country”. Reality: It’s, “This is what happens when either party ignores suffering for too long” Country. If someone genuinely listens AND DOES SOMETHING, most West Virginians would get behind that. 000
