This is my coming out thread. I’m embarrassed by how late in life this is happening. But growing up in the 70s there were no examples for me to look at to understand myself. In fact it was the opposite. Plenty of messages of shame and disgust.

"People who experience #FoodInsecurity are at greater risk of dying prematurely & living a shorter life after age 50."
Expanding access to healthy foods is key to improving community health & decreasing mortality, something #FoodRescue directly supports. usnews.com/news/health-news/…

also it feels like 10 years ago, cutting words and abbreviating to get my tweet w/in character limits. Because you KNOW I'm not giving my money to this hell scape site just for more characters

mostly on 🧵 now but this is important. @pghtransit reduced service again. This is NOT OK. Regional service has been chipped away at its critical for everyone but esp ppl living w disabilities. Its also a necessary part of our food system allowing ppl to access food affordably

Freeze those leftovers people! Food waste majorly impacts climate change. Eating leftovers keeps them out of the landfill AND means you eliminate the upstream climate impact of growing, making & transporting MORE food to replace what you just tossed! refed.org/articles/americans…

Speaking of no time... I forgot to post this! Had the incredible honor of presenting an award at the @PIRegistry .Org awards last week. The work being done by the finalists in every category is simply breathtaking.

This is why it's important to take your caretaker with you if possible. Or at least an advocate. I've become a ferocious guard dog when it comes to making sure my #PWME is heard in health care settings.

#MECFS patients tend to arrive exhausted in the doctor's office and in this state cannot think or communicate properly or stand up for themselves, or even explain the illness to another person. They arrive in an especially vulnerable state.

The EPA released an important report this week revising the food waste solution pyramid. It recognizes what food recovery orgs have been shouting. Rescuing food surplus or upcycilng it is significantly better at reducing climate impact than other solutions (aside from reduction)

There are many reasons but chiefly--it lets food be food. It fulfills its purpose and doesn't need to be re-grown, re-transported, re-held, all of which have climate impact.

Wow that lingering trauma holds. Car is fine. But it has awoken my guerrilla instincts. Ready to get scrappy to make sure our family is able to survive and thrive the transitions we have coming up.

So much lingering trauma from...so many things. Car wouldn't start yesterday 7 immediately I felt like the broke single mom that I was previously, trying to figure out how to make everything ok without something I was counting on. The anxiety. The panic. The catastrophizing. ugh
