I've been so #busy. Tomorrow after #work I will travel to East #Finland to take care of my #parents. The distance is 320 km (200 miles). My #mother has an appointment at the hospital on Thursday, 78 km away (50 miles) from her home. We need to take a taxi to get there. I will also go to see my father in an Alzheimer's nursing home, I need to work remotely in my godparents house and I will spend nights there. #today 🥴
Many moons ago (i.e., so long ago I don't want to say because then I'd just feel ancient) Dragon Magazine ran a Mother's Day special in which they gave rules for a "Mother" prestige class. One of their abilities were "Power Word: Middle Name."
Hello my Mastodon #friends. How was your #Christmas? I had a really hard time with my #mother. We assume her dementia is a behavioural variant frontotemporal #dementia that causes emotional problems and bad behavior. I was exhausted when I got #home#yesterday. I even got off the train in Pasila, too early. 🙈 I had a migraine yesterday and #today. But guess what? I had a #date today and we had so much fun. He drove for 2,5 hours to take me out for a #dinner and now he's driving back home. 🫶 😘
I have been so #busy at #work recently. It seems that everyone is getting ready for a #Christmas#break and people want to clear their task lists. What else? My #mother got a #dementia diagnosis yesterday, so now both of my parents have #alzheimers. 🥺 I will spend Christmas with them in my home village. My father lives in a sheltered home, and my mother lives alone. ♥️ 🫶 #today#suomimastodon#finland
#Mother Jones is joining forces with Reveal to confront the crisis in #democracy head-on.
Once-hot digital startups are cutting back and closing down.
Big picture: When this merger is done, you’ll be able to find powerful investigative reporting not just in our magazine and our digital platforms, but also on the radio, in your podcast feed, and on TV. If you care about journalists speaking truth to power, this is great news
Child Welfare Officials Have Searched Her Home and Her Son Dozens of Times.
She’s Suing Them to Stop.
Despite no evidence a #mother mistreated her #child, New York City’s Administration for Children’s Services continues to enter her home without a warrant.
She has filed a #lawsuit, citing ProPublica’s reporting, arguing her rights are being violated.
So many emotions! My #father held my hand as we walked down the aisle side by side. He wanted to go with me. The nurse gave me the door code and I was able to leave so that my father didn't have time to come with me. I waved at him at the door! The tears came when my #mother asked how everything went. #alzheimerssucks#sadness 🥺🫶♥️
#Greetings from a train to Joensuu. I'm on my way to my #home village Simpele. The purpose is to put Christmas curtains into my #mother's kitchen and some #Christmas lights in her living room. I will also go to see my #father in the nursing home. #alzheimerssucks. 🫶 Tomorrow I will heat my mother a #sauna. I will travel back home on Sunday and my #cats Sanni and Siiri will come home on Monday. What are your plans for this #weekend?! 🫶🤗
#SouthAfrican artist Lebohang Kganye has been following in her late #mother's footsteps to photograph these touching images of her ghostly presence in her mother's life.
As she says 'there's this idea of the ghost & this idea of slippage between memory & reality - in some of the images you aren't sure whether she's the daughter or I'm the daughter'
I find her images so powerfully evocative of memory, loss & the relationship with our long past parents, I wanted to share one this #sunday
Doctors found out that my #mother has three broken bones - vertebra in her spine and two ribs. She uses strong painkillers daily, so she had not noticed new pain. I just cycled home from the #gym. It was so cold!! I took my #bike to the basement. In the spring, we will meet again. ♥️ #today#suomimastodon#finland#winteriscoming
I'm feeling quite #tired and I would really need a #hug. I had a long and stressful day at #work and my #mother is still in a hospital and we haven't heard what the problem is. Maybe doctors are wiser tomorrow. #hugs#suomimastodon#finland
It’s so funny to me that the sequel to Earthbound is called Mother 3. Idk, I just love little localization quirks like that.
On that note, what’s the verdict on Mother (aka Earthbound Zero/Earthbound Beginnings) and Mother 3? I’ve heard good things but never talked to anyone whose played them. Also, does Mother 3 have another name, or is it just Mother 3?
