@QAGreenways Trunk or Treats in plenty of very walkable cities give kids with a variety of special needs a chance to participate in something they’re usually left out of. Stop it. Let people enjoy things.

@DaphneMPenn After I gave birth to my 1st the nurses had me get up to pee and clean up. My right leg collapsed from under me and I passed out. Nurse said “oh hunny come on, your mom did this, your gramma did this, you can do it!” like I was being a wimp. Turns out my pelvis was dislocated.
