Feeling a very weird mix of shame and gratitude for my partner and a friend of ours who are going to our local pride market with some pottery.
I've sadly accepted that my CPTSD mostly excludes me from attending these events, particularly for longer periods of time where I can't really just pick up and leave.
Not sure if this is a failure, a win or both 🤔
I am trying to focus on what I can do, which today means cleaning the house.
my partner and I did some art fairs and it was so draining, just couldn’t make it work. I like shorter events, but that would be hard for pottery, so much to move! (My partner makes jewelry)
@GoodNewsGreyShoes Thank you so much for your empathy and kindness and understanding and wisdom 💙 I think acceptance of where I am at is the first step towards finding another door that's not locked. I appreciate you and hope you have a great weekend.

Report from the Amsterdam protest: there are a few hundred people here and two uniformed Dutch cops at a respectful distance very casually chatting with each other while they wait for nothing to hurry up and happen.
A lot of people are tourists (American or otherwise) who happened to see the protest because the US consulate is between several museums. They’re all like “hell yeah I’m stopping for this.” Passing bikes ring their bells (some of them might even be in support and not because Americans are standing on the bike path). I don’t know where someone in Amsterdam found an enormous California bear flag on such short notice
And yes, everyone loves Odin, who randomly decided to put his paws up on my shoulders when we were very visible to the crowd
I rode my bike to the library to return a book, which isn't terribly exciting, but I'm pleased that I can now take care of local errands by bike instead of car.
I have expandable pannier bags that weigh next-to-nothing and lie almost flat when empty. They can quickly be hooked on and off each side of the carrier. I don't have a photo, but they're sort of like this. Mine are ancient - they last forever. A friend has newer, fancier ones with a more boxy design and flat flap. Hers work as the actual shopping bag in the supermarket too, rather than to carry other bags, so even quicker to use.
That makes sense, if you aren't likely to use them a lot or for regular bulk loads, at least at the beginning. I only use mine occasionally, so I don't leave them on the bike all the time. I couldn't live without my big front basket thought - a surprising amount of anything and everything fits into a big deep basket.

“Among the eight people who #RFKJr announced would make up his new group of outside vaccine advisers to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are an emergency physician who posted Islamophobic commentary on social media and two doctors who were paid to provide expert testimony in trials against a vaccine maker.”
Here are the 8 new members of the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), who have replaced the 17 members fired on Monday by HHS Sec. RFK Jr.
As expected, many of them are anti-vaxxers and anti-maskers, who have made a living trashing vaccines and scientists, and peddling quack treatments.
Instead of the glowing official bio, let's read how epidemiologist Elizabeth Jacobs, PhD, and others describe these people.
