You deserved caring care.

We all deserve that.

And celebrating today feels like celebrating our country giving crumbs at best and celebrating it as a feast. It feels far healthier to call the crumbs the deprivation it is and allow ourselves to feel that in our bones and dare to do something different.

When my extended family said they were gathering I asked if they were complaining together or gathering to do something— write postcards to their electeds, anything, please, but celebrate abuse and exploitation.

Wishing you well, while also recognizing your body seems right on by responding this way. ❤️‍🩹

I do hope that you feel better soon!! You said so much so well--you're good at that! My town does a reading of the Declaration of Independence at Tryon Palace (home of the governors of the colony of NC). One of my best friends was asked to read it this year--so I attended. Wow! All the complaints against King George were like a checklist of things our current president is doing. So discouraging. We need a new revolution.

that’s a really beautiful tradition, but also very sobering at this political moment. ❤️‍🩹 and thankfully my dad put me on a new regimen of meds and i’m feeling 10x better! that PA could’ve helped me so easily but he was really so useless 😅
