In the midst of a pandemic, the Trump administration and the American public demanded a vaccine. Scientists rose to the occasion, producing them and delivering them to the people in record time, saving the lives of 3.2 million Americans. RFK Jr. has just ended all funding for these vaccines.

Conversely, my partner always thinks his blood pressure is good when it’s usually way too high. I guess my point is that most of us has no clue what’s happening in our bodies.

I thought I felt like my blood pressure was high, so I checked it and it was 108/69. I like to think of myself as being so self-aware that I can recognize if my blood pressure is high, but clearly that’s not the case. 1/

Omg!! So cute!! She looks like she’s feeling good and fashionable too!

Thank you! I know aging is a gift, but it can also be so cruel too. And it was so hard to witness the cruelty of it after 11+ years while simultaneously trying to hold space for the gift too.

I cry at the drop of a hat these days and I can rarely control it. So don’t mind me. Just over here crying yet again.

But even with the very heavy emotional weight of everything, I’m so glad they came to visit me. I know they won’t be able to make that kind of trip again. And I know I need to visit them sooner rather than later.

My stepmom is 85 and was just diagnosed with dementia. I found this out a few days before the visit via a text from my sister. My dad never once mentioned it or told me directly. And seeing my stepmom’s cognitive decline was heartbreaking and devastating.

My dad drove him and my stepmom from Illinois to Washington State to see me for my birthday. We hadn’t seen each other in over 11 years. I cried so much, but it definitely wasn’t all happy tears.

Rage. Why care about older women? If we can’t give birth than we are worthless.

Lindy Greer @lindyg.bsky.social · 22/04/2025

Omg…look at them!!! Squeeee!! I love them!

I 100% believe you and am sure you’re right.

I’m just forever blown away by hormones and how they affect us all. And how a virus can irrevocably eff up our hormones. 3/

I know women’s health isn’t a priority. I also remember in 2021 when they said the covid vaccines could temporarily mess with a woman’s cycle. But the infection itself is absolutely causing many women to jumpstart menopause. 2/

In the past couple of weeks I’m seeing more posts on Reddit about hormones and covid, specifically the interconnections. One post said HRT took away her Long Covid symptoms. Another asked if Covid kickstarted perimenopause. 1/

I hope they can help you with your symptoms! Sending you love always.

Screenshot from 2021. Yep, these were how my nails used to look. I didn’t stop biting my nails until April 1st, 2023.

Lindy Greer @lindyg.bsky.social · 29/03/2025

The only thing that’s ever worked for me is to keep them painted. Nothing else ever worked for me.

Thank you! I’m hardly ever on here these days. Burnout hit me hard.

The world is garbage but I’m finding my joy in this nail polish color. I worked so hard to grow my nails out, and it’s cool to see my progress. It’s also a good reminder for me - bodies never stay the same.

Today is the 35th anniversary of the Capitol Crawl, in which disabled activists discarded their mobility aids at the foot of the Capitol steps to climb them in support of passage of the Americans with Disabilities Ac. Jennifer Keelan-Chaffins, 8, told reporters "I'll take all night if I have to!"

“She’s in this orange prison outfit,” he said. “She just feels so isolated and desperate, you can imagine, she’s saying, ‘I want to come home’.” She is safe, he said, but living “in horrendous conditions” and had not had access to legal representation. Stop traveling to the U.S, It’s not safe.

I don't think the average American grasps how concerned the average Canadian is about the annexation threat. A lot of Americans are brushing it off a backburner ridiculous thing from Trump -- but here in Canada, our prime minister is literally telling us tariffs are part of an annexation plan.

We did it, but just barely. Watched every single thing nominated for an Oscar. If everyone would watch the documentaries and international films, I’m confident the world would be a better place. But if you could only watch 1 movie, I’d suggest watching Memoir of a Snail. That one blew me away.

WWIII on the horizon and my brain is focused on my favorite nail product no longer being available. But hey, I’m also thinking about how flammable a bottle of nail polish is. So maybe I could somehow make them into little Molotov cocktails if that was ever needed. 😭😭😭

There’s an incredible documentary up for an Oscar about Ukraine. It’s called Porcelain War. I highly recommend watching it. Also, Putin is evil. As is our current U.S. administration.

Anna, that’s truly incredible. I’m so happy for you!!

100%! I fortunately live in an area where it’s more accepted. Regardless, I also know it’s hurt my business. So mentally, it’s very taxing.

Not to mention we never actually properly addressed COVID, and there are measles outbreaks in at least 6 states rn. Death is not the only outcome to care about. They can say “MAHA” as much as they want but this is very specifically (and avoidably) how you increase “chronic illness” in a population

(And withdrew and cut ties with the World Health Organization, which does the most by far on influenza surveillance, preparedness & response, and has helped guide our seasonal influenza vaccination for many years. There are a lot of marbles sitting on a very wet paper towel in this game of Thin Ice)

That’s so wonderful! N95s are incredible tools. They’re also highly stigmatized in our culture, unfortunately. But I persist because the horrors do too.

N95 has worked well for me. My client did 5 years with no mask, but I know I’d never get that lucky. Our new normal is just too full with too many pathogens for my immune system. But 5 years with a mask and altered lifestyle is still a win for me.

I hope I can keep learning and reinventing myself. I miss the part of me that wanted to write and connect with others. I’m hoping Spring will reinvigorate me in that regard. And I genuinely hope everyone gets to hit a milestone that knocks your socks off. It’s a neat feeling for sure.
