alyssa 😬 @lyssaz.bsky.social · 17/09/2025It honestly isn’t fair that I can’t just take all my ear innards out, soak them in a warm vinegar, Dawn, and water solution, scrub them with baking soda on a toothbrush, rinse them off, and then put them back in place again. 030
alyssa 😬 @lyssaz.bsky.social · 21/08/2025My therapist’s therapist is named Skip, and I don’t like that at all. That is a sitcom name. I’m supposed to tell my trauma to someone who goes to Skip for support? C’mon. 020
alyssa 😬 @lyssaz.bsky.social · 12/08/2025The seasonal nature of things is wildly hard to remember when we’re in the middle of a season. This is so important. Thank you for sharing it 🤍 110
alyssa 😬 @lyssaz.bsky.social · 07/08/2025This is beautiful, Laura. I love those reminders that God’s knowing and love are intimate and particular. You are seen, known, loved, and actively cared for. ❤️ 020
alyssa 😬 @lyssaz.bsky.social · 07/08/2025I’m tired of doom and memes about doom. What have you been learning about God recently? 230
alyssa 😬 @lyssaz.bsky.social · 09/07/2025Anyway, I hate you Healthnet WellCare — you’ve been destroying my life since January 8th and I wish nothing but the worst for you. 000
alyssa 😬 @lyssaz.bsky.social · 09/07/2025You know what makes me angry? I’ll tell you: When you login to your insurance webpage & try to find a new provider & it asks you to select which insurance plan you have. EXCUSE ME? I just made an account where I had to give you my member ID & now you’re pretending not to know my plan type? 110
alyssa 😬 @lyssaz.bsky.social · 01/07/2025Thanks to everyone who encouraged me in this. I did it! Two friends and I memorized Psalm 19. We had lunch to recite it to each other and celebrate yesterday! I’m shocked to say it was easier than I expected, despite my lil brain lesion, and I love that those words are within me now. 020
alyssa 😬 @lyssaz.bsky.social · 29/06/2025“The mountain is out today!” “Wow the mountain is gorgeous today.” “Look at the mountain!” - conversation during every day with a cloud break in the Pacific Northwest 040
alyssa 😬 @lyssaz.bsky.social · 24/06/2025I need a tutorial on how to keep a chair in your room without it always being covered in clothes. This is a deep mystery that I’m surprised the science community hasn’t spent more time investigating. 250
alyssa 😬 @lyssaz.bsky.social · 16/06/2025Just ran into my therapist while walking down the street. Bless her. Running into a client on Father’s Day has got to be the stuff of a therapist’s nightmares. 020
alyssa 😬 @lyssaz.bsky.social · 14/06/2025I want to grow up to be one of the little old ladies out there protesting. Give me an oxygen tank, a cane, a heart for justice, and a hope and imagination for a better tomorrow. 020
alyssa 😬 @lyssaz.bsky.social · 09/06/2025It’s so fun to just have occasional silliness! The world is heavy and hard enough as it is. 020
alyssa 😬 @lyssaz.bsky.social · 08/06/2025Two years ago I was housesitting for my pastor and his fam and I hid 100 tiny pictures of myself in common areas of their house. Now I still continue to get random texts like this. Highly recommend. 6301
alyssa 😬 @lyssaz.bsky.social · 01/06/2025I know it is grainy, but I just passed these two owls while I was on a walk 🥹 followed them from tree to tree for maybe thirty minutes. So incredible. Great horned owls, I think? I forced every passerby to look at them, too. 140
alyssa 😬 @lyssaz.bsky.social · 27/05/2025Far too many migrated to Threads. Talk about mean thoughts… 😭 220
alyssa 😬 @lyssaz.bsky.social · 27/05/2025Finally watched Severance and felt like I was sitting at a brutal IFS boardroom session. 030
alyssa 😬 @lyssaz.bsky.social · 24/05/2025Totally. It feels like two thirds of the posts are just rage bait and people are lining up for it like a concert. Why?!!! 010
alyssa 😬 @lyssaz.bsky.social · 24/05/2025Ableism doesn’t just go away when we become disabled (or face other health challenges). If that’s the reason, I’m just imagining all the internal shame and dis-integration he must be experiencing to have to lie to others and probably himself about his reality. 110
alyssa 😬 @lyssaz.bsky.social · 24/05/2025It’s like Facebook meets twitter in a middle school cafeteria. 110
alyssa 😬 @lyssaz.bsky.social · 24/05/2025I can’t believe we lost people to Threads. It’s awful over there. 240
alyssa 😬 @lyssaz.bsky.social · 23/05/2025Plus, physical buttons!!! But good luck finding good ANC earbuds in this format. 🫠 030
alyssa 😬 @lyssaz.bsky.social · 23/05/2025THIS is the ideal style for earbuds, but it is nearly impossible to find high quality ones in this format. I don’t want $200 earbuds that I’ll lose in my pocket in ten minutes. I want to be able to lay them around my neck and take them on and off quickly for conversations w/out fear. 130
alyssa 😬 @lyssaz.bsky.social · 23/05/2025We’re y’all not going to funerals every few weeks as a kid, or what? No wonder your sense of humor isn’t dark enough. 030
alyssa 😬 @lyssaz.bsky.social · 23/05/2025My mother’s parents and father’s parents had all passed before my 14th birthday, so now as an adult 20+ years later, I’m absolutely shocked every time my friends lose their grandparents. How the heck do you still have those?? I thought those were a special childhood treat! 560
alyssa 😬 @lyssaz.bsky.social · 22/05/2025When it’s May and you’ve already reached the catastrophic coverage level of your insurance for the year, so your prescriptions are freemedia.tenor.coma woman in a black jacket is asking the question " yay "ALT: a woman in a black jacket is asking the question " yay " 010
alyssa 😬 @lyssaz.bsky.social · 22/05/2025Some days I feel poor but then I remember how my depression era grandma always bought us the Thick Nalley’s chili so she could water it down and make it last longer And she absolutely reveled in treating herself by going out to eat once a month. …to Burger King. For a single Whopper Jr, with water. 030
alyssa 😬 @lyssaz.bsky.social · 21/05/2025When you’re the prayer deacon and you’ve gotta schedule people to be available for intercession at the end of the service. 010
alyssa 😬 @lyssaz.bsky.social · 20/05/2025What are your favorite mindless, migraine-friendly hobbies? Particularly if you aren’t good at art stuff. 220
alyssa 😬 @lyssaz.bsky.social · 18/05/2025Thanks, friend. I’m adding a note in my things asking them to take me to our other local hospital instead. They’ve been good to me there. 010
alyssa 😬 @lyssaz.bsky.social · 18/05/2025Can we all agree together that absolutely nobody wants to guess our age? Please stop asking people to guess your age. I also don’t want to guess how much you spent snagging that amazing thrift find. Pls stop making me guess things. It makes us both feel awful. 120
alyssa 😬 @lyssaz.bsky.social · 18/05/2025I sent a scathing review when they sent me a feedback form. The person who picked me up will likely do the same. And I expect they’ll follow up with me, as well. They threatened to send me away in a cab when I still did not know who I was, where I was, or have the ability to walk. 220
alyssa 😬 @lyssaz.bsky.social · 18/05/2025I am! Thank goodness. I’m recovering pretty quickly, but no thanks to them! 020
alyssa 😬 @lyssaz.bsky.social · 18/05/2025The worst! I just ordered a product and hated the fabric so now I have to return it. Getting to USPS to turn it in feels like the MOST IMPOSSIBLE TASK. 😭 010
alyssa 😬 @lyssaz.bsky.social · 18/05/2025It’s a thing for sure, but it makes me very uncomfortable for some reason to hear it described 😂 020
alyssa 😬 @lyssaz.bsky.social · 17/05/2025emergency contact info is on my necklace, my keys, my phone, my wallet, & in my med files. But they ignored it all & I was incoherent (from the medical condition) & defenseless as they shouted at me. The power dynamics in health care aren’t talked about enough. Nor the medical trauma it can cause. 450
alyssa 😬 @lyssaz.bsky.social · 17/05/2025Had one of the worst hospital experiences of my life this week. And I’ve had a lot of hospital experiences. I’ve made every effort to protect myself from this treatment, but it wasn’t enough. My condition is documented in my med charts, explained in my wallet… 140
alyssa 😬 @lyssaz.bsky.social · 17/05/2025I love the Pacific Northwest, because it’s 59°F right now and I just opened up my door to let the breeze in. 110
alyssa 😬 @lyssaz.bsky.social · 07/05/2025I NEVER get to have a lock in overnighter with all my bros at the Sistine Chapel 😞 Feeling jealous. I bet they’re gonna play sardines. #conclave 020
