I’m so much more productive after the sun goes down. While the sun is up I feel the weight of having to do things and it just overwhelms me.
But when the sun has gone to bed suddenly my time is my own. I can do with it what I will and oftentimes that means the cleaning I’ve been meaning to do, the projects I’ve been putting off. They suddenly don’t seem overwhelming to me.
I like it when the sun goes down.

I often struggle with finding the good in being disabled and chronically ill. But one of the best things that has come out of this is a better understanding of humanity:
I better understand the need for equity, equality, fairness, and accessibility in society.
I am more aware of problematic health care, insurance, and governmental regulations for disadvantaged groups.
I understand the feelings that come with being isolated, discriminated against, excluded, and ridiculed.
I understand the pain, loss, helplessness, courage, and, determination that comes with physical and mental illnesses.
I understand humanity a lot better than before.
With so much being taken away from me, I've gained in compassion for the complexities of people's struggles.
Thank you all for raising awareness about the injustices we face and for being so supportive of each other. You are the good that makes this journey easier ❤.

my dad taught me history in high school (all girls, private, catholic school) and one of my absolute favorite things about him was that, unlike every other teacher I had, he was never calm when a bee or, more accurately, a hornet or yellowjacket, flew in the window. he would stop whatever he was doing, reach for a book or rolled up piece of paper, and say with great dramatic flair, “ladies, the enemy is here.”
#my middle school social studies teacher kind of did this but he threw a book at it and broke the window#queue

Weaponized incompetence my ass just weaponize it back. Once my dad tries to pull the “but I don’t know how to clean the counters as well as you” on my mom and she said “ok honey I’ll show you” and she made him stand in the kitchen and watch her clean the counters. Then she pulled out a bottle of chocolate syrup and proceeded to spray the entire kitchen in chocolate, hand him the sponge and said “okay now it’s your turn”
