If we ever learn how to speak to animals, the first thing we should translate is, "Calm down, I'm trying to help you!"
So I'm guessing Monster Energy drinks got electrolytes. They got what plants crave.
To the rest of the world, the US will forever be Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hide.
I bet you cannot guess my all-time favorite Marvel or DC hero! (Hint: It's not Superman.) If you've ever seen a real hero and wondered why you were so deeply moved, this article explains why. We all face the same choices as the people in our hero stories. open.substack.com/pub/secondha...

Today I learned that there's a white berry and they named it... White Blackberry. Sigh.
The "moral" code at the center of US politics and economics is survival of the fittest, where the strong eat the weak. The best evidence for this is all the times we reward or forgive abusers and punish or abandon their victims. It's the moral code that has to change.
I'm having one of the worst ME/CFS flare ups not because I'm 100% incapacitated but because I'm 90% incapacitated. That 10% is taunting me. #mecfs #neis #neisvoid #chronicillness
I've said it before and I'll say it again... Medical Advocate should be a common job, and every American should have one. We need an advocate when we're trying to get a diagnosis or find the right treatment. To navigate a broken system. Or the moment we enter a hospital. #chronicillness
What the heck is this? Spotted it on my screen door this morning. It's smaller than a dime. Baby wasp?
Artemis from my backyard. It's strange to see them flying to the moon when basic healthcare is still out of reach.
Life is like a bowl of frozen cherries from Walmart still cold after two minutes in the microwave.
If I just woke up after an 18 month coma, what's the first news you'd tell me?
Florida snow storm. This is falling off of her in bales.
How can you say no to that? Don't worry... I threw the ball.
That one cold week in Florida killed just about everything in our yard... except the aloe growing under the warm exhaust of a window fan.
Yes! What if we treated extremely normal human variation as something other than a "disorder"??? www.positive.news/society/yout...

I grew up watching Star Trek: The Next Generation, and one of the qualities I loved most about it was that it felt universal and uniting, like it was truly made for everyone. Multiple views could come together under the umbrellas of reason and compassion, and diversity was normal.
We are built to live each day in the warmth of community, with friends and family and fellow villagers and a small, familiar social world that supports us. If you feel the pain of our chronic absence of community, congratulations... you are a human.
If you're coping with chronic illness, it's okay to take things slow. I know you already know that, but sometimes we just need to hear someone say it.
We're ramping up for a build battle in Second Haven, our Minecraft multiverse. If you're curious and want to join us, visit SecondHavenMC.org for more info. You don't need to be a pro builder. The competition is light and friendly. All ages welcome. Open to spectators. #minecraft #cfs #neisvoid
What are you saying "yes" to that is actually depleting you with no concern for your well-being? #chronicillness #mecfs #cfs #pots
