On that note, my mom died in April. It's super shitty.

Attempt 109 to be more active on here and less active on that Nazi hellscape app. What's new? Who do I need to follow back? How do I find disability communities? How do I find leftists (the pragmatic/harm reduction kind, not the performative/superiority complex kind)?

Super obvious thing to say, but it really sucks that disabled folks still have to do things even if they cause us significant physical distress. I'm in tears from pain and exhaustion and will be sick for days because something needed to get done and it won't unless I do it.

I know this sounds goofy. But I desperately need a way to use my anger.

Back again. I know we can't really do much organizing on this platform, but hopefully I can build connections. Reminder I don't automatically follow back, but I do follow anyone who interacts with anything I post.

Hi new followers. I'm not a "follow back" account, but if you actually interact with me, I will follow you back. Exceptions. I will not follow (and will probably block): - any AI profile picture - any "good vibes only" people

My "activism" experience is pretty much just a few marches and giving money. However, I have ample military and government agency experience. If anyone has a way I can be of use, please let me know.

The way the Department of Veterans Affairs has been politicized during this administration is sickening. Every email I get from them is praising Trump like a fucking dictator. This is not normal or acceptable. @democrats-veterans.house.gov #Veterans #VA
Screenshot of an official email from the Department of Veterans Affairs: 

VetResources is a weekly newsletter for Veterans, their families, caregivers, and survivors. Connect with Secretary Collins on X

As you may be aware, funding for some government agencies, including portions of the Department of Veterans Affairs, expired at midnight this morning.

President Trump opposes a lapse in appropriations, and on September 19, the House of Representatives passed, with the Trump Administration's support, a clean continuing resolution to fund the government through November 21. Unfortunately, Democrats are blocking this Continuing Resolution in the U.S. Senate due to unrelated policy demands.

During the current lapse in funding, the vast majority of VA benefits and services will continue uninterrupted, but the government shutdown is not without consequences to VA. Here is what you need to know:

For the record, as a disabled person who is involved in leftist online spaces, leftists don't treat disabled folks better than MAGA does. So now might be a good time to start LISTENING to disabled voices and following disabled people (not just popular "activists"). #Disability

It's more important than ever that you pay attention to how people treat the homeless and disabled

My dumb ass on Twitter asking for trouble. Randos: No leftist would be able to hit a target at 200 yards. 🤓 It was probably a Vet and therefore NOT a leftist. 🤓 Me: 🙋‍♀️ Actually.... I'm going on so many lists today for the sake of not being able to pass up discourse.

I understand not enjoying someone getting shot, but If you're calling for sympathy and compassion and decorum today, but you haven't been calling out things like the Gaza genocide, you're a fucking hypocrite.

Times like this when I realize I might be a bit too extreme for most left of center people. Lots of people who like to post things like "Nazi lives don't matter" are real upset today with people who actually believe Nazi/fascist lives do not matter.

Hey #ADHD community, has anyone ever benefited from CBT (Cognitive Behavioral therapy) for ADHD? Or any standard structured therapy for that matter.

Current mood: Considering a new hobby that involves walking around my ultra-conservative town wearing the most inflammatory leftist shirts I can find while exercising my right as a Texan to open carry. Just a fun little social experiment.

If anyone has any suggestions, I'm desperate. I'll try anything. I'm on Adderall, have tried Ritalin, and Provigil. Have tried B vitamins, all the vitamins I think. Should I just move on to cocaine?

Not doing well. So overwhelmingly frustrated and sad and I know I would feel better if I would just DO SOMETHING, but I can't. Not sure how much is ADHD (mental block), pain, fatigue, brain fog, but I feel like I'm pushing against a brick wall and I don't know what to do.

Serious question, what physical stores sell office chairs? Apparently not furniture stores, so maybe like Office Depot?

LA recommendations needed. I'm going to be in LA for a couple of days next month. I won't have the time or energy to do much. But is there anything cool I should check out in the Santa Monica area? My idea of cool includes like ... A queer bookstore.

And your as smart as the "eggplant emoji" sucking former Mossad agent's followers who are "sheep emoji" and end up becoming brainwashed disabled Gay robots with big mouths and No decent contribution to society! Enjoy the chat.

Please. Desperate and looking for advice again. Please spread this in #ADHD #AuHD #ChronicIllness spaces. Executive dysfunction combined with extreme fatigue (POTS) is killing me. I can't even take care of basic stuff. I'm on max daily IR Adderall (I've also tried Modafinil and Ritalin). (1/2)
