Wanna save the world, but with toddlers on my ankles, I guess I'll just milk the goats and tweet about it.

All of my soaps are goat milk soaps, except for the blue/green brine flower and the witch hazel/thyme bar. The natural bars are unscented and infused with foraged herbs. Some are variations of other's recipes & designs (mostly @brambleberry). Others are all mine.
@Minervasbard I'm only 40 but I have experienced most of what is on your list. Power structures didn't change overnight. We keep pushing. Keep pushing and never cede ground. I have 3 little girls and we are not going back a single inch!
Me in ER with severe dehydration & tachycardia from POTS flare (undiagnosed at time)
Dr: “How much did you drink last night?”
Me: “I don’t drink”
Dr: “Tell the truth - if you don’t we can’t help”
Me: “I’m allergic to alcohol. I’ve had nothing to drink.”
Dr: “Don’t lie” 🧵 /1
Right.
This is going to be an extremely long thread, because the number of ways that Covid can make you more vulnerable to other infections is *loooong*.
But here's Ten Ways That Covid Infection Can Open The Door To Other Infections Today:
I particularly needed the studies on the brain damage and increased needs in Speech and other SpEd services as I was explaining that this will be an ongoing increase in need, and that we need to identify & support #LongCovidKids
@Ninawildflower@crimsonartist@DSEDunn I just spent all day at our state's school board conference. I was the only person in a mask. Reps from my state's CDC were there and did not know any of the info I shared on Long Covid in kids. Our state DoE commissioner refused to believe Covid is still a risk. I still advocate
@Ninawildflower The only seatbelts on school buses are those for the bus driver and rare seat belts for children with disabilities that need the seatbelts for support. Every other child just sits on a pleather bench.
NEW: As promised, here is my new ad for #HarrisWalz. My story never gets easier to tell, but everything is on the line this election. Please watch and share 🙏🫶

@CalltoActivism I sat through meetings at the state level for the development of those playbooks. I saw negotiations with farmers and officials, planning at every level, training, and I watched it all get dismantled as fast as possible under Trump. I was yelling about it in 2017 & 2018.
@hominigritz@ddale8 Pick the candidate you can move closer to your goals. One has said she wants the fighting to end and the Palestinian people able to decide their own path while the other discussed building a condo once the bodies were cleared. It shouldn't be a hard decision if you care.
Trump made the Scots the usual promises. Although the locals were wise to the grifting conman, the politicians saw the loathsome piece of shit as someone who'd stimulate the economy and were quick to buy-in on the serial lying psychopath's scam. Guess who ended up being right? 👇
@emiliestrongemi @DrSamiSchalk We are very vulnerable to infections in my family so we can't risk a trip like that nor exposure to illnesses from all over. Thank you though. I am glad programs like that exist for those that can use them.
Wow.
The damage measured in this study is a straight shot to parts of the brain that manage autonomic function, mood, cognition, and respiratory control.
Covid infection causes brain damage.
Covid damages your brain.
It's so evil that some politicians are trying to push forward with a mask ban in New York. NYC was one of the places hardest hit at the start of the pandemic, and COVID is still causing harm. A mask ban puts the health of all New Yorkers at greater risk.

@Victorshi2020 My husband and I have traded back and forth on delaying or giving up careers to be unpaid family caregivers. A single income with disabled children is incredibly hard. Any help would be welcome!
This is huge. VP Harris just announced on The View, “There are so many people who fall in the Sandwich Generation. They're taking care of their kids & their aging parents. It’s almost impossible to do it all. I am proposing we allow Medicare to cover in-home health care”
