Pride Month

Antonio (mswarriorantonio on TikTok) was nervous to disclose his MS diagnosis, but was overwhelmed at the support he received once he did. #PrideMonth #MultipleSclerosis

How do I put into words what it is that I am feeling right now? I am confused and wishing I could be just neutral.

I went shopping a little while ago, and on my way home my husband called me. He told me I should not have went shopping and spent money. I bought him some things for father's day and when I mentioned I got him some things, he became upset. It is because I don't have a job. He was upset with me about us having one income and going shopping.

He told me to not put up roadblocks into me finding a job, or doing what it is that I want to do. Professionalism is not something that comes easy for me, and with my mental health issues it's harder than that of a person without them. It is not an excuse to stay where I am, but it does not make it as easy as someone else's level of difficulty. I know everyone experiences difficulties. I swear it will be OK. I just have to find something that I love to do and go for it.

Today is a day of mixed emotions. It's driving me nuts... But it's something that I have to deal with. I am hoping for a better tomorrow since today is a Mix of a Mess and a Blessing.

Take Care.

2021 is nearly halfway over. Can you even believe? June is Pride Month too, so I wanted to post and honor all of our LGBTQ+ members of this group. I would be interested to hear about your experiences pursuing healthcare for IBD/other chronic conditions. I always want to learn about the holes in our system, as well as the successes, and I’ve read some about how fair healthcare is lacking in so many communities right now. If anyone feels comfortable sharing their experience, please post to the group.

If you have feedback on good content to share during this month of June, feel free to comment or send me a DM!

Tiktok has recently banned one of the most positive, uplifting people on the platform, Mamma Jill Wallace. As an Atheist, this Christian woman warms my heart to know that there are people like her who are there for the LGBTQ+ community that share her beliefs and even those who don't. She doesn't exclude anyone from her messages and has made an insurmountable impact on the LGBTQIA+ community. She opened up recently on a live stream about her personal struggles with mental health including suicide as a way to share her experiences and to let people know they're not alone. She spoke about it as a means of prevention to help others who maybe were struggling in the moment with everything going on around us. Tiktok turned around and banned her for it permanently. It is appalling. It is disgusting. It is PRO SUICIDE to ban this woman. Tik Tok might as well have just handed someone struggling a blade or drove them to a ledge. Because of their actions, they told people struggling with suicidal tendencies or ideation that they should basically just do it and that they aren't wanted or cared about. They contributed to mental illness and every single day she remains banned, is another day that Tiktok gives its approval and supports the suicide of its viewers regardless of what they say. This is repugnant. You can claim algorithms all you want. But guess what? Algorithms and AI are trained by human data input and controlled via that same way. They don't decide willy nilly. They have set boundaries. They go by what you told them. So the problem is you, TikTok. Get your crap together because you're causing irreparable harm. You took a woman who has suffered and had the ability to reach and help someone else suffering by sharing her own struggle and you silenced her and invalidated her. I don't care what your beliefs are or anything. This isn't about them. It's about human beings. How dare you do that to this woman and the millions of others who suffer from this very real issue directly and indirectly. This is beyond Abelism. This is pure discrimination in action. Not to mention, Tiktok regularly silences LGBTQIA+ voices and then does this during Pride month. Beyond shameful.
For those who follow mamma, she is not giving up. She is staying strong and has created another TikTok. She isn't going anywhere wether they like it or not and that's the kind of boldness that we need most right now. And the world is a better place because of her continued presence. Everyone of any belief should always have someone who advocates for them and she is an integral part of the LGBTQIA+ community regardless of your beliefs. Without people like her around we wouldn't have half the rights we do today and we sure wouldn't be able to weather the storm we are in currently in the US and throughout the world.
