You are not a static being. You are allowed to change who you are throughout your day, week, year, and your entire life. Don't let anyone pigeonhole you. Be your true self of the moment in every moment.

There's a lot more to sex and gender than the silly binary nonsense your era still clings to. All gender-based hatred is banned from my sickbay. You get to be who you are with me and I will protect you from anyone who says otherwise. 🖤💙😷🥄🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

I experienced this every damn day. 🤷‍♀️♿️

Transphobic policing of who "counts" as a woman or man is fascism. Any time fascism is allowed a foothold, it will take more steps beyond. Bigotry is the greatest fuel for the fascists' fire, so put out any flames at first sight.

Surviving day-to-day with chronic illness and/or disability is never "laziness" regardless of how many health-privileged, abled people assume otherwise. 🖤💙😷🥄

Good medicine on a systemic level requires tackling systemic inequity and bigotry first. You will never have a high-quality medical system unless everybody does. 🖤💙😷🥄

You are not required to lend your ear to someone who will scream abuse into it.

I'm always proud of you, even when you're struggling. Never imagine that your struggles diminish you. You shouldn't have to struggle, but struggling does not render you less worthy.

Health care workers who resent patients with complex medical issues have no business working in health care at all. 🖤💙😷🥄

Keeping problematic people in your life for social convenience is bad for your physical and mental health. I'm writing you a prescription to let at least some of those people go. Side effects can be rough at first but they fade and the cure is worth it. 🖤💙😷🥄

Defend yourself and your boundaries with the same vigour that you'd defend your dearest friend and their boundaries. You are worth protecting.

Good job booking that appointment, or being brave when it's time to ask for the treatment you know you need. I'm so proud of you for getting your medical stuff arranged! 🖤💙😷🥄

You are not required to forgive your abuser if you do not wish to. Ignore all pressure to "be the better person". You are already the better person by not being an abuser yourself.

the year is 2026, it's easier to confirm a wild raccoon with a birth defect is alive and well than a sitting US Senator

Whenever you feel like it's all too much, feel free to imagine me sitting with you, holding your hand, telling you it's okay and reminding you to just breathe. 🖤💙😷🥄

Be very wary of anybody who thinks the word "defensive" is a pejorative. There is nothing wrong with defending yourself, and most people who seem "overly defensive" are reacting to insufficient safety over time.

Suffering is not a requirement for good character. Suffering builds trauma; good character can be built by any experience.

To the doctors who don't like it when patients research their own conditions: patients wouldn't waste their precious energy on doing that if you did the research you're professionally obligated to do and gave them current, appropriate treatments as a result. 🖤💙😷🥄

When people dislike you because you loudly and proudly defend your social justice values and personal boundaries, that means you are winning at keeping people who don't support your values and boundaries out of your life. Well done.

I use a dermal regenerator on pretty much everything folks in your era would use an adhesive bandage for. But if it makes you feel better for me to put a colorful, sparkly sticker on you, I have a supply of those as well. Joy always helps! 🖤💙😷🥄✨🩹

Just because you aren't getting the support you need doesn't mean that you don't deserve it. It means you are being failed, not that you have failed.

Depletion is not laziness. Rest is a requirement. 🖤💙😷🥄

For a friend at work, today.

Good job eating something today. Fed is best. I'm proud of you for doing your best with everything you have to deal with. 🖤💙😷🥄

You are not required to forgive those who did unforgivable things to you, especially during your childhood.

Honesty never ruined any relationship worth having.

You are allowed to refuse to attend any social gathering that doesn't protect your safety. In fact, I'd encourage you to refuse. One day's FOMO is nothing compared to a lifetime of regret for damaging your health. 🖤💙😷🥄

It's appalling how many doctors and governments in your era still imagine that Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) is something they can wave off as "not real" or "just fatigue" when it's clearly a neurological condition with issues manifesting on the cellular level. I'm so sorry for all of you suffering

Why are you bending yourself so hard to be universally liked when you don't even like many of those you are trying to impress? Be yourself and attract people who like you for you.
