She introduced me to the idea of mutual aid a few years ago and did immense work for the community despite and in spite of her own struggles with leukemia and long COVID She has my eternal thanks Rest in Power, beautiful angel. You deserve it.

Alone in the theater with @bigfrickinswede.bsky.social and two of our friends, watching Knives Out. It was like a showing in our living room with chatter and commentary. One friend soon after learned his leukemia was back and died about a year later, so this is one of my favorite memories of him.

When it first came out, evangelicals decided it was a permission slip to have sex (which it isn’t!) and they went hard against it, making up some truly horrific stories like it caused cancer (leukemia, mostly) or that it made their child gay/trans. And evangelicals love their rumor mills.

Our son's mother in law got shingles last year. She got a very late diagnosis. At first she was in a dermatology clinic until some bright spark realised what she had. Anti virals didn't help her anymore. She is still suffering over a year later. I think because she'd had leukemia it confused things.
