JD 🏔️🐐 @itmejd.dftba.social · 14/08/2026Exactly, its such a struggle and it shouldnt be. I saw them at the same venue before, and the show was AMAZING but the only reason i survived was bc i got there early and could lean on a railing. Even then all i was thinking about was how much pain i was in, not enjoying myself 100 1
JD 🏔️🐐 @itmejd.dftba.social · 14/08/2026It's a standing room only venue. Like, they will accommodate ADA, but they want you to email a week ahead (we're already less than that). Then i show up, a very healthy presenting person sitting at a TMG concert while everyone stands. Or i suffer the next few days bc i dont. Not a lot of fun... :( 100 1
JD 🏔️🐐 @itmejd.dftba.social · 14/08/2026The problem with chronic pain is my soul is dancing at the @themountaingoats.bsky.social concert in Buff next week but my body laughs bc it can't even handle standing thru the opening act, let alone dancing joyfully with abandon. I wish so much I could be there, but in my heart I am a wild creature 140 4

JD 🏔️🐐 @itmejd.dftba.social · 01/01/2026I wish Spotify wasnt missing so many good TMG songs :( With all of the live recordings and unreleased songs on YT, there were only a few totally unrecorded songs i couldn't add, so i tried to substitute songs with a similar vibe 150 5

JD 🏔️🐐 @itmejd.dftba.social · 10/03/2025If you don't believe us do some research yourself (or read the article i linked via TBFighters). It was incorrectly reported at first that the Kansas outbreak was the largest in recorded history, but it's since been corrected. Also, we only began recording in the 1950s after treatment was discovered 132 3
JD 🏔️🐐 @itmejd.dftba.social · 10/03/2025It is very important to talk about the TB outbreak and educate each other! That's why we (Hannah included) are TB activists. But it's also important the get the facts right, and this is definitely not the biggest US outbreak in recorded history, that was incorrectly reported 020 2
