Finding out the hip pain days before my POTS episode wasn't because I don't move around enough - great. Finding out it is precursor to my POTS episode - great...I have clues showing when I'm at risk. The pain itself wasn't fun. I couldn't even lift my leg up to prop my legs up to reduce swelling.

It costs 0$ to Repost a Black disabled queer small business! It could lead to my next sale. Here's new patterns for my carbon fiber foldable walking sticks! Each pattern needs to meet their goals so I can make them a reality!! Or I'll have to refund them. Store: Bibipins.com

“As soon as those budget cuts started, I knew it was going to affect everyone in the service professions, so it hit the hospitals, it hit the housing authority, it hit the free clinics, it hit the food pantries—it hit us all,” Jan Vest, who is also treasurer for the Hancock County Food Pantry, said.

But if we give poor people money, they will do less crime and also join the military less frequently for the financial incentives Then who will die in the oil wars or provide the prison slave labor????

I have to correct some bad takes I am seeing. People are acting like THEE Sam Alito somehow saved abortion access today. He did not. The fact that he issued a one-week administrative stay in Louisiana v. FDA *is not a win*. It's a temporary reprieve.

I’m a big crocheter and I’ve bought a lot of wool from Hobbii over the years. Safe to say I will absolutely never use them again. Even before we get into anything even more serious, generative ai is destroying the crochet and knitting community. Support your local wool shop.

A friend of mine doesn't have anything really for food in his house, and I would really like to help him out but I'm broke as fuck and don't have much to offer - if you've wanted any of my fatpacks or limiteds, now's a good time to get them, just message me for half off of your chosen mod or pack.

I didn't realize these two pieces were still for sale at Gifty Kitty in Portland! They glow under UV light 👀 I turned them in to their gallery 2 days before my cats caught bird flu, so I never, uh, actually told anyone they were out there! #artpost

Passing this along - fucking scammers leveling up, here's a new one to pay attention to.

“These are stellar kids. Educated, focused, know what they want to be already,” said host father Cliff Baptiste. “They’re good kids, man, and it's sad that they have to go through this.” buff.ly/7EZI5KU

As far as indigenous folk go, it was illegal for us to practice our culture until my mom's lifetime, we couldn't teach our languages until mine. You should learn why the ICWA was established and how long Indian Schools were operational.

They are just putting the SSI marriage reduction on anyone now if they live with someone else. Because, they know a lot of people don't get married just to get full benefits. To keep Medicaid you must make st least 1 dollars or working disabled. I'm so tired of Eugenics.

RFK Jr. told the House E&C Committee today that the way to bring down healthcare costs is to "clean up the risk pool" — remove the people who cost too much. He said the $4.3 trillion we spend on chronic disease is the emergency. He said most of Minnesota's autism services funding was stolen. 🧵

Greenwood Leflore Hospital warned employees on Monday that it will close in June if efforts to stay open fail. If that happens, Greenwood’s more than 13,000 residents will have to travel 33 miles to get to the nearest hospital.

Felicia Hayes, a disabled former truck driver in Jackson, Mississippi, had her water turned off because she could not afford an overdue $400 water bill. She lived off bottled water for eight days until Rita Brent and Brad Franklin with Operation Zero Out came to help her handle her overdue bill.

the bill is 'H.R.8250' while usually i'd take a "wait and see" approach to a bill that has only been introduced, the us govt is moving FAST wrt age verification, so please, contact your representatives (particularly the house) and advocate against AV on device laws www.congress.gov/members/find...

This is a charity I will always find time to repost when I'm on here and see it. @sfdirewolf.bsky.social was part of this too. Very happy to see how much was raised :).

I dont know much about composers but I know I’ve heard before among older acquaintances that he’s apparently always been an unpleasant person so… i dont suppose i should be surprised at anything anymore =__=

In the wake of her passing and her recent celebration of life, @loscharlos.bsky.social shares how Alice Wong taught him the power of Disability Justice and how she wielded it to bridge the hesitancy between disability, Long Covid, and COVID-cautious communities. bit.ly/4mohc12

I'm still working on updating my portfolio site but decided to finally put this out here since I'm going to be looking for job leads soon. I was the senior concept merch artist for Aphmau/Meemeows for nearly the past four years. Soft goods are my specialty but I'd really like to stay in Toys/Merch!

It's a fact, systemic racism is responsible for poor health in Black people.

Any thoughts on a sewing machine that can do heavy duty sewing out there? It seems my heavy duty singer might have been during the buyout roll over so I might have one with defects. The machine needs to be able to see through multiple layers of thick fabric. #sewing #sewingmachine No beginner

Within 30 days of receiving notice from the State, the SHIELD Act says applicants who are registering to vote would have to prove U.S. citizenship via passport, birth certificate, U.S. naturalization documentation or other valid documentation.

Four Republican-led states—Florida, Mississippi, South Dakota and Utah—have enacted laws this year to strengthen proof-of-citizenship requirements for voters.

I used to write the WaPo editorials on US-Africa policy, as well on as human rights and politics on the continent. To describe hundreds of thousands of deaths on the continent as “messy” is an absolute abomination.

They will not take the Oxford comma from me. Period. I already structure proper sentences with dashes, parenthesis, commas and semi-colons because I put so much into one thought sometimes. This is how I've always written.
