So cute! Can’t wait to see more of your art :)

Honestly $200 extra a month might help ease the burden on our loved ones, that’s only two weeks of groceries for a lot of households right now. Just a personal example, the entirety of my grandmother’s benefits goes to her housing (high cola). My uncle pays her medical bills, and he’s the only one who has any money to spare. My sibling buys her groceries. I buy her clothing and other necessities as I can, but I’m essentially in the same financial situation she is. The rest of her family is dead, and in 3-5 years she may only have my sibling left to help her.

So, yes, Bernie might be slapping a bandaid on this elderly poverty problem with a possibly easy win, but it’s a starting point for further taxing the billionaires. And if we’re lucky the momentum from that will also fix education, medical access, housing, and the rest of what we know we need as a healthy society

Young people receive social security benefits too, like SSDI and survivor payments. I’ve been on SSDI myself since before I was 30 years old.

There’s plenty left to share ^.^

Thanks! It was really good :)

I was a little worried that the Impossible would be dry by the end of cooking, because I always seem to over-cook it. But it held up perfectly in the sauce

How wonderful your explanation of how cannabis helps anxiety and depression symptoms is. I do also think she may get some therapy in rehab, and sometimes when we are deep in despair that daily support many rehabs offer is life-altering

I haven’t been exactly in your shoes, but I have been in very similar ones.

You are strong enough to know you need help and you’ve started the process of getting it. Please sit with this for a few minutes and be proud of yourself, because I am proud of you too

Depending on what part of the world you live in, you might consider taking some vitamin D. If you’re not going outside much and/or you’re in the Northern Hemisphere, you might be experiencing some deficiency and that can absolutely impact depression. I also kind of wonder if you can’t shift your strains towards higher ratios of cbd than THC until you’re in rehab?

This is what I did too! I’m pretty happy with it

So cute!

We should get some more posts in https://lemmy.world/c/lemmylaqueristas

It is a dead com, but I think about it a lot lol

I think genetic biodiversity only matters if one reproduces, and that isn’t something that can still happen for me. I might try to teach my future niece or nephew how to do this though :)

It’s double vision, each eye still sends its own signal back to the brain. But I usually just try to focus on one eye’s image so I don’t get sick haha. I am able to read if I focus one eye, I’d say when I do focus on one, the other eye will still notice movement and color

It’s kind of an overwhelming sensory experience, possibly because I don’t do this very often

I can independently move my eyes.

It’s become more difficult and painful to do as I get older though

Okay, but consider the memes we will feast on if Obama is Speaker while Trump is still president

Someone in my medical team asked me why I changed my gender marker back to my AGAB in my medical records when I moved to Arizona a couple months ago. All I said was that “I didn’t want to be a target” when I’m just trying to get medical care. I hope they see all the BS trans hate that was approved by voters this week and think of what I said. We are targets, and we do not deserve to be

My state has this policy, too. I wonder if it is something we can change

Do you take vitamin E? I had a doctor tell me to try that after I complained about nerve pain and itchiness in my breasts, and it really really helped!

I had a first date where the guy thought it would be a great idea to take me to a park and serenade me while strumming his ukelele. I am certain that floats other people’s boats, but I am not the type of human that ever wants that kind of intense one-sided attention, especially in public. I gave him a second date because I felt horrible about how awkward I was about the whole thing, but the second date made it clear he just wanted a woman to marry quickly and have children. Which is also not a thing I’m into haha.

I screen people a lot more carefully now, so both sides don’t end up terribly disappointed

Is this it?

I went through an entire tissue box last night, and I’m halfway through another one today. Really great order to drink some more water ❤️

It’s incredible how much of an impact he had on so many people across the world.

I think I’m also grieving again a bit of my grandfather’s passing, because they had the same eyes. Those videos where he’s out with Ian McKellen, or even when he’s just being silly on camera hit me the most in the feels. My grandpa was also a really silly guy lol

I like to put them in the air fryer with a little bit of cornstarch and spice coating. They get slightly crispy on the outside

I’m going to have to try adding salt next time!
