VoidedMikeA failing body, but a heart still burning. I’m Michael—blind, in kidney failure, and in need of a living donor. Hope is a fragile light, and you can help keep it glowing.

Micah Ilbery :sloth_coffee:My aggressive lifting restrictions SUCK! I feel like I can't do anything. In a society that has really hammered in that men are only good for financial contributions and manual labor, I'm feeling really depressed. As I am unemployed and in a long recovery that prevents nearly all physical activity outside of short walks. I also get physically exhausted very quickly anyway. So the majority of my time is spent restless, sedentary, and left with my thoughts of worthlessness. <a href="https://slothsneed.coffee/tags/kidneydonor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#KidneyDonor</a> <a href="https://slothsneed.coffee/tags/recovery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Recovery</a>

Micah Ilbery :sloth_coffee:OK my servers have all been down the last couple of days so I guess I'll have to catch up around here. But some things are temporarily back up. I moved my reverse proxy to run on my home assistant box and put back up a server that was going to get phased out to get some of the stuff I rely on back up. My server hardware upgrades didn't go exactly as I planned due to some hardware incompatibilities and I'm now paused until I can get replacements. This is not going how I planned, but it is going about how I expected. Being in recovery has also made this more difficult as I can't lift my computers and I tire out pretty quick. <a href="https://slothsneed.coffee/tags/selfhosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SelfHosting</a> <a href="https://slothsneed.coffee/tags/kidneydonor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#KidneyDonor</a> <a href="https://slothsneed.coffee/tags/homelab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HomeLab</a> <a href="https://slothsneed.coffee/tags/nas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NAS</a>

Bill KimlerInteresting! I'm listening... And it better include some retroactive incentives too! 😁"Each kidney transplant saves the healthcare system about 150,000 dollars, yet policies that fail to address financial disincentives for donors limit the number of transplants performed."<a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/organdonor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#organdonor</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/kidneydonor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#kidneydonor</a><a href="https://gizmodo.com/the-case-for-donating-a-kidney-while-youre-still-alive-2000579057" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://gizmodo.com/the-case-for-donating-a-kidney-while-youre-still-alive-2000579057</a>
