thoughts of an unknown patient

Multidisciplinary integrative health and wellness blog that aims to contextualize chronic illness and/or disability, while exploring the influence of the social determinants of health. I focus on medicine and healthcare, the provider-patient relationship, general wisdom for life, and provide insight on how to manage chronic stress, chronic pain, and trauma. Also, I spotlight Sickle Cell Disease and the sociopolitical dynamics that surround the condition. The goal is to help others achieve balance in the face of change, and to create a counterculture, one that generates ameliorative solutions to the dominance and power of social constructs. #LiftBlackVoices

Rep. Jamie Raskin :: @RepRaskin

...what’s happening now goes deeper than privatization. What we’re witnessing is a deliberate redefinition of what government is for—and who it serves. This isn’t just about economics. It’s about power, and the values behind it. Governments, in theory, exist to support the conditions of life—through education, health, infrastructure, and care. But when states retreat from that role, they don’t stop governing. They just start governing differently—by deciding whose lives are worth protecting, and whose aren’t. That’s the shift underway.

@lunasgayshit did I send this to you yet?

[lunasgayshit-deactivated2026050]

No but I don't get it, is it a joke about making the horse drink?

[maddiem4]

I think it's more about feeling out of your depth and a little nervous about it. But admittedly my brain is a little fuzzy after going to the hospital today so I could be wrong

[lunasgayshit-deactivated2026050]

Oh, yeah, that's fair. Haven't felt that yet, thankfully :) It's been really nice so far. Really enjoying the balance between feminist theory and science with the women's, gender and sexuality studies course and the sociolinguistics course! It's so satisfying!
