i’m sure you’ve heard the term/phrase “brain rot” on social media. to decrease my screen time, i started blowing bubbles for the kids in my neighborhood! for many who find themselves online (a bit too much) it is healthy to find an offline hobby and pop in here occasionally 💜

Even if you don't think you do, we bet you already know a person living with #epilepsy. We make up about 1% of the population! So if you've met more than 100 people in your lifetime, you are statistically likely to have already crossed paths with one of us. #EpilepsyAwareness

i do a regular 20-30 minute walk each day! around the neighborhood if i feel like talking, but after my surgery, definitely backyard (only to be safe). walks, no matter the length, are always good for easy exercise 💜
Regular #exercise can be a powerful tool for overall brain health, #stress reduction, #sleep quality, and even managing #epilepsy. Did watching the 2026 FIFA World Cup ⚽ motivate you to level up your own fitness goals? #EpilepsyAwareness

We've seen reports that the new Odyssey film has a scene that might affect photosensitive viewers. -- Can anyone confirm this? 3-5% of people with Epilepsy are photosensitive. #EpilepsyAwareness

kind little reminder that his family is trying to keep his legacy alive with the cameron boyce foundation whilst also trying to raise more awareness about SUDEP. (sudden unexplained death in epilepsy). and is something that should also be shared!!!!
7 years ago today, the world lost Cameron Boyce at the age of 20. 🕊️

it should be noted that not all neurosurgery teams or surgeons are willing to do this! definitely ask if you have a surgery coming up 🫶🏻💜

As a parent of a son with #epilepsy my heart breaks when he seizes in the bathroom, blocks the inward-swinging door, and lies unconscious, making it impossible to move. This has happened a couple of times. I learned my lesson. Bathroom doors should swing outward for safety. It’s just one of those accommodations that nobody tells you about. Any other suggestions or good tips out there?

fun fact about me: rewind 2020, my friend parked in Eureka Valley/Kite Hill and it was maybe 3-4 blocks from Twin Peaks. found a hiking trail and hiked the entire empty street- beautiful view. my Apple Watch would be proud!!
SF real estate is so funny because the floor on the land price is so high Guess how much this teardown on Kite Hill is listed at one point three million united states dollars
