Parenting takes grit and a village. Nevada County has both. From Healthy Babies home visits to 24/7 crisis support, here’s a roundup of real resources + data for caregiver resilience—because strong families make strong towns.

I've been meaning to write this for a while now. It's many things, including venting.
#America is in dangerous times. We have a #government dominated by a modern #nazi party. Human beings, regardless of citizenship, are being abducted and kidnapped in broad daylight and shoved into gulags, torn from their families, and #rights are being degraded to #privileges, at best. The #USConstitution is being desecrated upon everyday by a mentally unhinged #POTUS.
Today all across the #unitedstates are #NoKings marches. In solidarity, many #Eurpoean countries are holding their own #NoTyrants marches. I'd love to be at No Kings Marches and other protests but I cannot because I am a #caregiver for my #disabled son and wife (our son's #nurse). Caregivers need #support too. #Burnout, #exhaustion, #sleep deprivation, and chronic #injuries are legit #threats and #challenges.
My son has #severe spastic #quadriplegic cerebral palsy and requires at minimum one person to be with him 24x7. Being a #parent of a #child with such #medical complexities is both (1) not uncommon and (2) a very different experience that a lot of people just do *not* understand. Logistically it is unrealistic to think about bringing our son to a protest or even for just one of us to attend. It's important for others to understand that just because we cannot attend protests, rallies, and marches doesn't mean that we don't care. We are protesting this #regime through our lived #experience, our #disability #advocacy #work, and through social media. We protest and hold those accountable in our local #community. Another reason we do not participate in protests is the risk of injury. Caregiving becomes exponentially more difficult and stressful if one of us are injured.
This is a reality that is not just "not on most people's radar" but completely unfathomable. For those unable to attend such events, social media is the tool used for protest.
Today I was texting with a long time friend (a #paramedic of all professions) who asked me if I'd be attending the No Kings March. I explained to him that we wouldn't be (for the reasons listed above). Instead of #listening and embracing #empathy, he doubled down on the importance of attending and equated it to the Vietnam War protests. He and I have only been texting almost *daily* for the past five years and is aware of my son's condition and our parenting/caregiving experience. But, unfortunately he (still) doesn't get it. I put my phone on do not disturb and walked downstairs. Ugh...
For the #awesome folks here who are marching today, please be safe and I look forward to more discussions with you.

Caregiver: sentenza di portata storica, la Corte di Giustizia Europea riconosce finalmente il diritto, a chi assiste un famigliare disabile, agli “accomodamenti ragionevoli”. Leggi il nostro commento e la sentenza completa. #caregiver #smartworking https://smartworkersunion.it/tkyz
One should lose some weight before having knee replacement surgery, if for only one reason: your caregiver may struggle with lifting dead weight each time you're finding your footing.
On the other hand, you should see my biceps and triceps now! Not to mention, my legs, the muscle definition is noticeable.
Finally: gait belts are good, but not as great as they should be.

So who needs *actual* public toilets?
Each study, no matter which city it was from, concluded that actual #PublicToilets are used overwhelmingly by:
- a #parent/ #caregiver with young #children (often using baby strollers)
- #elderly people
- #disabled people
- #unhoused people
… and since basically no one gives much of a rip about the last three on that list, ESPECIALLY unhoused people, there is little political will to ensure #accessible public #toilets are a priority.
A critical point made most clear by #Calgary's #yyc report (complete with maps and photos of site incidents!) is that #HumanWaste is a #biohazard #HazardousWaste, as human diseases can easily pass to others by #feces.
TL;DR: Alas, withholding development of #facilities and #services that would benefit all people in a community, including unhoused people, is a common policy program driven by political optics. And it stinks. 😡
