BREAKING NEWS: the Senate just voted for dignity, 96 to 1, by passing S 578, which will keep those fighting ALS from bankruptcy by waiving the 5 month waiting period for SSDI.
Why does this matter? The average patient lives 2-4 years post-diagnosis and spends $100ks on care.
These days are trying, but they are ours. So don’t let anyone or anything steal them from you for some day they will end. Be kind. Spread love. Sow hope.
Good night moon.
After 3+ years of living with ALS I’ve come to one conclusion: the world would be a much better place if we all lived like we were dying of a terminal disease.
I just want to say “good morning” to all you little beasties. Make sure to get your coffee in today and maybe smile at somebody for no damn reason at all.
Watched #Jaws for the 200th time the other night and it's all new! The shark is Covid, Mayer Vaughn is the government, Hooper is the media, Quint is the right wing and Brody...well, the Chief represents the rest of us who just want a bigger fuckin' boat.

Reports of suffering are upsetting, but it's a mistake to think we can do nothing about it. Many problems we face are of our own making. Since we are social animals who need friends, the least we can do is smile and respond to others warm-heartedly—that will make a difference.
