A4: Usually, it's music and - if I can manage it - meditation that helps best. Sometimes, even spending time with found family can help me relax and recharge. #SpoonieChat

A4: I jealously guard my time, mood, and attention. It's important to skip nonsense and anything that drains me. Knit, crochet, and decorating trees bring me so much goodness. #SpoonieChat

A3: try to connect in a place or a way where you can avoid social media, television, politics. Try to have deep or even shallow conversations about what you like/love about each other. If you’re a person who thrives on touch, try to get lots of hugs. #SpoonieChat

A2: I should also say that the protein Cookie Butter inspired peanut butter is coming along nicely as well. Been working on that for a few weeks. #SpoonieChat

Q2: What brings joy, happiness, contentment, or stability into your life? #SpoonieChat



A3: I find myself invested in & spending time on people I know online & IRL who also face chronic illness. My challenge this year has been sharing my story more in hopes it helps others. I’m better at one-on-one interactions but have gotten a couple speaking opps. #SpoonieChat

A3: I'm in lots of pain right now, so distractions and coping are entirely necessary. Butterflies, taking pictures, and getting my Christmas decore together are essential. #SpoonieChat

I live in the County over from the BioLab fire that started because of the hurricane. We're getting more information here than y'all are nationally. They're lying to us about everything because they do not care about us, don't want to do anything, and just want to keep...

Sadly invest #92L is likely to form into a tropical system in the GOM. All interests in Florida need to start preparing. Early to midweek impacts likely! Yes, 92L could be a hurricane and maybe a strong one.

If you’re in Appalachia or anywhere there was flooding, you need to treat the mud like it’s as toxic as floodwaters. There is raw sewage, hazardous chemicals, fuels, medical & industrial waste, bacteria like flesh-eating vibrio, dead bodies. What you can do to stay safe 🧵
