Someone on Twitter who doesn't follow me said I come off as indistinguishable from MAGA because I criticize Biden era policies, and it's so strange because if they followed me they'd know I'm full of ample criticism for all politicians and constantly asking where the grim reaper is lmao

Given that a ton of people are about to be kicked off Medicaid and food assistance, I will be trying to do more mutual aid threads over here in the hopes that we can connect folks who need help with folks willing to help. Fuck this country man

In between the stairs you can see a tiny green frog. This is hilarious to me because I once lived somewhere a frog could slip between the cracks of some shitty concrete stairs and hop out, scaring the daylights out of me 😂

Watching videos of queer folks who have been around way longer than me talking about their fears and their fights and I can't keep it together. I wish I could be more involved in my communities than I am

Maybe it's because I spent my middle school years beating up Nazis, but I don't get anyone wanting to try to debate them. There's no debate. Just a fist to the face. Giving them air to breathe just lets them read off the big book of slurs like they're taking attendance. Ask me how I know. 😐

If I see someone out in public wearing MERCH for that fucking concentration camp, I cannot be held responsible for my actions because the FUCK

For Disability Pride Month the senate said why don't we kick a bunch of people off Medicaid and close rural hospitals, wonderful There are so many people who are disabled but NOT officially on disability bc it's SO hard to get who rely on Medicaid for their medical care who deserve better

It's Disability Pride Month, so why don't we try to meet some needs for folks! If you're disbaled, share your cfing/💸🔗/wishlist/website/art/twitch channel- literally whatever can make you feel more supported! If you're able, go through the thread and choose someone's day to brighten!🌞

If you want to oppose fascism but you stopped wearing an n95 in public, bad news: you’ve been facilitating fascism via ableism, one of its favorite tools. Good news: you can learn from this error! By resuming masking, you protect marginalized folks & resistance movements. Give/get mask mutual aid:

Every time I am forced to use my limited energy to go be asked invasive and weird questions, I become somehow more convinced that every single human person should just have a hefty stipend with no questions asked (and control on prices) until we abolish it all

There are so many financial literacy workshops for poor people, but they do not account for the fact that most people just legitimately need more money. It's not a spending issue or a budget issue. It's a lack of funds. Like this person said, try living on less than 900/mo

It is really wild to me how people get so angry about someone going to a con sick, but then they don't mask at the con. My dude YOU could have been the one who brought it there and got everyone sick because spread is often asymptomatic or presymptomatic. Like 30-60% of the time, you're contagious

My Crohn’s and my allergy to TNF-inhibitors are thought by my doctors to have both been triggered into action by a “mild” case of mono I had at 21. It felt like “just a cold” at the time. Now I’m fully disabled, & then every single condition I have has been made worse thanks to Covid & Long Covid.

Onset of MS after EBV (a very common viral illness) takes an average of 10 years We are already seeing COVID trigger autoimmune disease, ⬆️ risk of heart attack/stroke, and more Folks w a disease that has a viral component are warning you, and you're like nah I'm too good for that to happen to me

This kid on my TV just accidentally burned the host without even realizing it😂 They were asking about what young voters want, and they were like do you think they'd say, and he goes well most young people haven't been to a senior citizen home so I don't think they'd say that 💀

After learning how much DNA is stored in your teeth, I cannot BELIEVE parents are just willingly handing that to a fairy like its a joke If I'm supposed to keep my name secret from them, why is my DNA being handed over?!

I know we've all seen that humidity map and said oh shit, so this link is one of the easiest explanations of wet bulb temperature and WHY it matters At some point, the air gets too wet for your sweat to matter. That explanation makes sense to someone who already understands the concept of dry heat

Do NOT share the faces of protesters. Do not share photos of protesters where faces are not blurred out. We have to keep each other safe, and getting your comrade arrested is NOT it. It does not matter if they're not doing anything illegal in the photo.

I feel like enough of you are the right kind of nerd to appreciate this cool copper rose Joy gave me! Copper changes color when it is heated to different temperatures, and that's why you have this beautiful gradient here. Chemical reactions cause patina- the green leaf!

I'm so confused by people who share photos of cops pepper spraying people sitting down and then also sharing posts telling people to be peaceful and sit down. Like do you...want them pepper sprayed or gassed or hit with KIPs?? You've seen it happen, you just shared it!

Setting a robot car on fire is way less violent than shooting unpredictable coated metal cores (aka "rubber bullets," an intentionally soft name for something with a METAL CORE) at human people but okay

The true gay agenda is when your women's soccer teams play each other on your half-iversary and you SAY you hope both teams have fun but privately your own agenda is hoping that your team wins!🌈⚽️

I'll probably post some more pictures later, but @direfoxicorn.bsky.social and I had a really, really lovely time celebrating a fantastic 6 months together💜

People are horrified that that republican said we are all going to die anyway- and they should be!- but you know you've been displaying the same attitude toward disabled people the last few years right?

Happy Pride to all the queer disabled folks who are excluded from most things this month because of accessibility issues

My state was sued for being so inefficient at processing applications for social programs Evidently they have not learned because they did not fulfill their obligation to call me, and there were *183* people in the phone line in front of me when I called at 9am

This is a long shot and it's honestly out of my price range, but Im really desperate for something to help with my anxiety. I'm already medicated and in therapy, and I'm really struggling right now Has anyone tried that Apollo wearable? It seems questionable, but if folks have has good experiences

David sweetly got me this book by one of my fav authors. BUT I've already read and loved it😂 So let's do some MA with it! If you are cfing or have a wl or art or anything, drop it here! For an entry to win this book, send me proof you helped someone🌞💕💸

Adding onto the last point here, while I'm down with UBI (with rent/cost control), in the current system I think there should at minimum be a stipend for stay at home parents as well because again, I believe all people deserve their own income and resources

I dont think a spouse's income should count against someone on a means based program at all. I do not care if (extreme example) someone is married to a person making 1 mil a year and gets benefits if it means that someone else on means tested programs can have the legal

A one time expense most people put on a payment plan and a never ending monthly need are two entirely different things. I cannot put any of my treatments or meds on a payment plan right now, and even if I did, the 30% interest rate on care credit would kill me if I had to put meds on it every month

I dont think I can trust my MS NP knows how to obtain lab results? I have to message him (at his request) every month to let him know I've had the labs so he can check on his portal Anyway he reviewed the labs from three months ago with me rather than this months...

This little mozzarella stick hopes you have a great day!💜

I might not express this well so bear with me, but it is wild to me that even in changing the guidelines for COVID vaccination they're like "we think these need more testing, so we are going to withhold them from healthy people, but sick and old folks can take their chances"

What she looks like after contemplating arson

Was it designed for polyamorous birds because it looks like a bird toy to me? I feel the birds would love it tbh As a human person I find it incredibly confusing and have many questions

David forgot what color my eyes are. His first guess was wrong, and his second guess was white, so I gave it to him 😂😂 I was like yeah I mean, part of my eyeball is indeed white lmao No one be mean, this is very funny and he has ADHD

Unfortunately this is how most people view health. This is a very common discussion in the disability community. We've literally seen it play out over the last 5 years that people think as long as they're generally healthy, a vascular disease that affects every organ cant hurt them like??

Well we've officially hit the season where some people with MS (hi it's me) deal with both physical and cognitive symptoms due to heat sensitvity and have to like, reverse hibernate like a reverse bear. So if I am somehow even worse about messaging and such, please just poke me until I get with it

Okay so I had to stop fairly quickly because I'm quite ill today, but I DID get to work on my A Frame Cabin some, and I'm SO happy! I love that I sorted the pieces and said oh wow, they gave me one million tiny hammers! And then they grew up to be stone fence blocks I think!

At the clinic today for treatment. To her credit I guess she's masked, but one of the nurses here is obviously very ill 😬

I'm in MS like, online support and resource groups. But sometimes they are not very supportive because people will post things like MS is caused by a bacteria that flourishes in people with a lot of self loathing (???), and I'm like oh boy get me out of this hell please

@direfoxicorn.bsky.social and I got to hang out in matching old lady night gowns while she was here🥰💃

Anyone who says being chronically ill isn't a full time job has never had to plan a trip around monthly blood work (aka bloodworms), doc appts that if rescheduled will often be 3-12 months later, necessary treatments, and bodies because holy moly. I at least found a few days so far though!!💜

Even deportation with due process is a form of violence honestly

I know I'm saying absolutely nothing new here, but the cultural idea of "if they wanted to, they would" has truly fucked my brain up. I have so much anxiety and guilt and worry people will think I dont care wrapped up in my inability to always keep up. I want to, I just cannot

Even with the *most* understanding people in your life, navigating the limitations of chronic illness is so fucking rough. I feel awful in so many ways right now
