10 yrs “dancing with NED,” grateful to be here while grieving friends who aren’t. Abigail (@AMJohnston1315) understood that complicated both/and concept, & the depth of MBC friendships. Now I’m grieving her, too, along with so many others in the #MBC / #bcsm community. Her words feel even more personal. 💜❤️🩹

Do you feel the midterm results were more about rebuke or rescue? I'd love to know what YOU think. Don't forget to subscribe to my Substack. I'd love to have you! Thank you for reposting.

I am going to miss the brilliant writing of @AMJohnston1315. Her words will live on and continue to educate, inspire, and move us for years to come. Made me smile to see this new piece in my feed today. nohalfmeasures.blog/2026/11/…

Our victory – and what comes next. This victory comes with a mandate from the voters that is about ending corruption, ending unfairness, getting money out of politics, bringing down oligarchy, and reducing inequality. That's what we're here for. It's time to get started.

Of course Abigail helped write her own obituary. Brutally honest, bittersweet & unapologetically HER. Even in death, she wasn’t about to let someone else tell her story. 💔
Two blog posts have appeared since her death. Every morning I hope there’s at least one more scheduled to drop in my inbox. ❤️🩹 #bcsm

Contrary to what the mainstream media might think, it is newsworthy when the president has credible sexual assault allegations against him. thenation.com/article/politi…

Metastatic breast cancer doesn’t care about the calendar, and while I’m very, very glad the performative pink bs is going away until next year, I will continue to advocate for more research. Please donate to @metavivor
October 31
31 Days. 3,500+ Lives.
As October ends and pink ribbons fade, we cannot forget Stage IV—not for a single day.
Thank you for following our #METober posts. Please keep sharing.

The essay that changed and reshaped my advocacy... Thank you for reading it. I'm seeing fewer products with pink ribbons slapped on them this year. What about you?

Day 27
No Evidence of Disease (NED) means scans show no detectable metastatic breast cancer, but it is not a cure. Hidden cancer cells may remain, which is why ongoing treatment and monitoring are often needed.
Don’t ignore stage IV.

Day 26 - Inflammatory Breast Cancer
Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC) is a rare, aggressive breast cancer that often causes redness, swelling, and skin changes instead of a lump. More research is urgently needed to improve outcomes and save lives.
Don’t ignore stage IV.

Does anyone actually expect this Epstein pal piece of shit to care about a woman who was raped as a child?
Trump: Amy Acton's mother said horrible things about Amy Acton and I don't know why you're not allowed to broadcast it. That one ad should really win.
Q: What about what the daughter said about the mother?
Trump: I don’t know what she said.
Q: That the mother remained with the stepfather who sexually abused her.
Trump: When did she make that statement? Recently?
Q: Years ago.
Trump: I have no idea. All I know is, Amy Acton's mother said horrible things about Amy Acton. She’s fair game.

إليك رد جورج كلوني بعد أن اتهمه ترامب بأنه "نخبة هوليوود".
"الأمر هكذا: نشأت في كنتاكي. بعت تأمينات من باب إلى باب. بعت أحذية للسيدات. عملت في متجر خمور مفتوح طوال الليل. كنت أشتري بدلات كبيرة جداً وطويلة جداً وأقطع أسفل بناطيلها لأصنع منها ربطات عنق حتى أملك ربطة عنق لأذهب في مقابلات العمل. نشأت وأنا أفهم كيف يكون الأمر بدون تأمين صحي لثماني سنوات.
لذا هذه الفكرة بأنني بطريقة ما "نخبة هوليوود" وهذا الرجل الذي يتبرز في مرحاض ذهبي هو بطريقة ما رجل الشعب، هي أمر مضحك.
أهل هوليوود، في الغالب، هم أشخاص من الغرب الأوسط الذين انتقلُوا إلى هوليوود ليحصلوا على مهنة. لذا هذه الفكرة بـ"النخب الساحلية" التي تعيش في فقاعة هي سخيفة. من يعيش في فقاعة أكبر؟
هو يعيش في برج ذهبي ولديه اثنا عشر شخصاً في شركته. هو لا يدير شركة تضم مئات الآلاف من الأشخاص الذين يوظفهم ويعتني بهم. هو دَبَّر شركة من اثني عشر شخصاً!
عندما تُخرج فيلماً، لديك سبع نقابات مختلفة كل واحدة تريد أشياء مختلفة، يجب عليك إيجاد إجماع مع الجميع، ويجب أن تحرِّكهم جميعاً في الاتجاه نفسه.
هو لم يضطر أبداً للقيام بأي من تلك الأمور. أنا فقط أنظر إليها وأضحك عندما أسمعه يقول "نخبة هوليوود". نخبة هوليوود؟ ليس لدي نجمة على ممشى هوليوود، دونالد ترامب لديه نجمة على ممشى هوليوود! Fuck you!"

💗💚🩵 Today is Metastatic Breast Cancer Awareness Day!
Tonight, as part of the @lightupmbc campaign, more than 325 landmarks across 196 cities worldwide will illuminate in pink, teal and green, honoring those we’ve lost and standing in solidarity with everyone affected by MBC.

Day 11 - Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide.
Ribbons in October aren’t enough. We need metastatic research to deliver effective, well-tolerated treatments—and save lives around the world.
Don’t ignore stage IV.
