💗 It’s so hard to find a good PCP to help you figure out a long list of undiagnosed illnesses you’ve had for decades. I hope they’ve been able to help

Doctor: “What level is your pain?” CSA Survivor: “What is pain?”

UTIs + kidney infections are super triggering for many child sex abuse (CSA) survivors. As a kid I had multi UTIs a year + was hospitalized for kidney infections due to abuse. If you’re a CSA or child sex trafficking survivor, please be aware of when you’re dissociating from pain

For a story I’m investigating, I’m going on a reporting trip to the homophobic town that my ex girlfriend ran away from as a kid 👀

I literally got myself hospitalized because it’s so difficult to get ADHD medication

a fun symptom of ADHD is when you wait to pee so long because you treat bodily discomfort as an incentive to help you hyperfocus and concentrate so you can finish tasks, only to spend the day in the emergency room with what looks to be a kidney infection

Because Edmonton police are lazy and bad at their jobs, I really need to find a private investigator in Alberta who’s not a cop regarding what looks to be a child trafficking case

I really want to send this FOIA officer flowers for getting me some elusive records for the grueling and gruesome child sex abuse story I’ve been working on for 5 years, but sending a FOIA officer flowers probably isn’t ethical. Anyway, thank you A*** — you’re the best! 💗
