This is the kind of breakdown of Project 2025 we need more ofβ€”@jesspish.bsky.social is the leading expert on sheriffs and their myths, and was able to put a lot of history and context to work despite what little detail "Mandate" offered on sheriffs.

I had a horse in high school and broke my ribs getting bucked off and kicked before. Not a pleasant feeling but I loved that horse.

Ugh I’m sorry! I always just thought I was klutzy but ended up being EDS. I can’t even count the number of bones I’ve broken. X-rays always shock the tech and doc πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ like how are you still walking? Good thing I’m stubborn πŸ˜‚

Yeah I had to learn how to do it for all dislocated joints, broken fingers are pretty easy too, anything more serious than that still requires a doctor.

As an American in Aotearoa now I still refuse to go to the doctor for fear of the high bills (yes I know it’s not a thing here). I broke my thumb and I’m just like nope I’ll just snap it back in place, no big deal πŸ˜‚ I don’t think anyone needs to be worried about other people’s healthcare.

Every few months, Auckland Uni send me an alumni letter asking for money. I don't even open them because they spend that money fighting staff in court and refusing to protect them as they do their jobs. I'm gonna put my money here instead.

Pretty sure I broke the bone right below my thumb and I have no clue how I did it. Just hurts like hell πŸ˜– gotta love chronic illness like EDS. But on the plus side I slept in a real bed last night so my knees are happier with me πŸ˜‚#chronicillnessproblems #EDS

Daisy jumped on top of these kennels to try and find her baby Grogu toy. Her toy was taken away cause she was being mean to her brother and sister over the toy.

I agree with what everyone else says. When you’re bigger you can do XYZ but you’re too little now. You can make the kiddo some marshmallows and most likely they will forget about the fire part.

Yes and no. I feel so guilty for escaping and so worried for everyone I love back there. Also I think this will have impacts worldwide so I’m not 100% we’re safe from the fallout.
