So for now, we have set our backup social to Hive since it is avaliable on Android and not invite only. Y'all can find us there under the same @. If it works out that enough move there, we will slowly make it our main social. 💚💜💚💜

@LoveAmuSystem @twitchyspoonie It was the sincerity in her voice that gave me enough of a boost to finally allow her in, and she helped me *so much*. First time I experienced sincere body positivity after years of doctors and general people telling me how fucked up my body was. I'll never forget her 💚

So most of the comments thankfully aren't like this thankfully, but some of y'all do need to stop telling people we just don't need bras and are being silly and patriarchal by buying them or whatever. Some of us want support and comfort, which bras are supposed to do.
TheDisabilityEnthusiast@twitchyspoonie

Trying to find a bra that's my actual, correct size has taught me exactly why most people are not wearing ones that fit and I need us to start discussing this as a structural issue rather than blaming it on ignorance.

@twitchyspoonie From what we understand, at least for ours (mid lower back) the 5+ hook bras or front clasp with wide band where best because they provided better pressure distribution. We ended up liking front clasp best personally because it was easier to put on without extra back strain.

@twitchyspoonie We saw the cost of the bras for our size (we have odd proportions and the tailor who fitted us specifically wanted to make sure the bra we got factored in our scoliosis as well) and expected only 1 and she bought us 4 😭😭 we love her so much.

@twitchyspoonie Also shout out to our step mom, one of the first things she did after she married our dad was taking us and our sisters to get professionally fitted and bought us new bras because she figured a single dad likely didn't even consider that as something that needed to be done.

@twitchyspoonie Like, pre reduction without a bra we'd have spine issues (on top of our scoliosis) when we didn't wear one, we generally had to put one on to even go to the bathroom in the middle of the night to avoid being stuck in bed for days due to spinal pain flairs.

@Tinu Crying takes so much energy, and when you already don't have any to spare it becomes so painful. Keeping you in our thoughts and sending so much platonic love.

Spiritually by those who have always ment the world to him. So grandpa, may your journeys end be peaceful, and may your soul return to the land and bring it blessings. May the gardens you tilled always produce an abundance for whoever uses the lands, blessed by your soul.

We are feeling so many emotions, sorrow, fear, sadness, but also joy, pride, and respect, because he is leaving on his terms, even if he has lost his ability to communicate and his ability to physically show his love, these are his terms he's leaving on, surrounded physically and

Even as he's at the end of his journey, he wants the spiritual blessings of those he worked with, those he spent his life helping and being helped by, by his side. Only family can visit, this is his way of having everyone else in his life their as he reaches then end of his path.

We love our grandpa so much. He spent his whole life helping others, he was gifted an eagle feather from Alexander First Nation when he retired for all the work he did, and before he went to the hospital yesterday, it was what he asked to have brought and hung above his bed.

Takes a loved one over the course of days instead of instantly. When he was still mentally aware, he was clear that he doesn't want MAiD and our family is respecting his wishes, so all we can do now is hope the doctors can keep him pain free as we wait for his time to go.

Just over a month ago, our grandpa was moved to a hospice centre because the 16hr a day care wasn't enough, he needed 24hr access to care. Yesterday he was moved to inpatient hospital hospice because his cancers (multiple stage 4 cancers) have progressed to the point that he

Now, he can't put together even a basic sentence, he's lost full mobility because the cancer in his spine has spread to his neck and tailbone, he is undergoing multiple organ failures due to the other cancers. Cancer is such a traumatic disease to witness, especially when it

Isn't likely to survive the next week and he's in so much pain he needs higher strength pain management then the hospice centre could offer. Our heart hurts. He has fought so hard, he has survived cancer multiple times and he was so confident that he would beat it again.

@r0ckd0rkrodcork And by "funny" we mean absolutely terrifying. Majority of the time a bear doesn't want to interact with humans and will just leave unless you have food on you it wants to acquire, then it will usually wait until you leave the food unsupervised and grab it.

@r0ckd0rkrodcork The "funny" part is, as someones who grew up in the bush and had to know bears/bear safety, statistically the random man is more likely to cause you harm unless it's a mama bear protecting cubs or food has been REALLY scarce (like really, they will choose hares and such first).
