Protect your energy and peace. You are not obligated to engage and debate with Zionists even if it's someone you knew from college (she says to herself) (To be clear they never expressed any Zionist views in college. Only recently have they started spewing Zionist propaganda.)

Yesterday I started working on this protest art piece (before the hand flare up rudely became a thing). It's not done yet, but working on it further will have to wait till the spoons return...

So I've been stuck in my apt for the last 3+ mos 1st My wheelchair just flat out stalled but then after a month it was partially functioning. I could use it @ home but not safely outside. But at least I could dance But this morning it's back to stalling 😭 The repair appt is on Monday so 🤞

My spirit had a strong desire to create, but my body had a strong desires to rest and these two desires were not compatible today. It was rude. #disability

Hand flare-ups are always rude, but especially so when you're in the middle of working on a piece of protest art. 0 stars. #disability

Activists on board the Global Sumud Flotilla said they heard explosions and saw drone attacks late on Tuesday.

To see how Israel is LYING about the global sumud flotilla is SO evil. The flotilla's a peaceful humanitarian effort to bring food/supplies to the ppl of Gaza who Israel is committing genocide against & intentionally starving. This is not self defense & this didn't start on 10/7. #NotInMyName (1)

The #GlobalFlotilla needs your support especially as they continue to experience attacks TAKE ACTION globalsumudflotilla.org/contact-offi...

I didn't choose to have 5 doctor's-appointments-in-one-week. The 5 appointments-in-one-week chose me.

At the end of the mandatory Medicaid MLTC monthly call with my case manager, they always ask do you have any questions And ever since learning about project 2025, I asked what the company's plan is regarding the attacks on Medicaid, especially regarding home health aide services... (1)

TMW my Medicaid case mgr asks me scripted questions during the mandatory monthly call: "so, how are you feeling these days?" "As good as one can be in these times?" "Are you experiencing depression & anxiety?" "No more than what's warranted" "I'll just put down that you're fine" #disability

I see a lot of CC people on both Feeld and Lex

this was enjoyable www.youtube.com/watch?v=G72t...

usually with the brain's choice playlist, there is this self imposed criteria where it can't include a song on a previous BC playlist, so the playlists actually vary. but this one abandons those rules in the name of feeding my soul because this is needed. (a WIP) open.spotify.com/playlist/5Zj...

Not sure if this is still active (covid-chemistry.org). Also there are tons of CC and mask bloc discords / online communities and some (like the local one I’m in) have a subsection for folks interested in dating. www.covid-chemistry.org

Someone suggested I look at some site for COVID conscious folks that happens to have a section for dating, but people were posting on it weeks apart. This is a void that needs to be filled.

There is a Facebook group for that and maybe some people are still active on CovidMeetups.com and you can specify dating.

Is there a dating site for covid cautious immunocompromised ppls? 'cus I feel like if that existed, my dating life wouldn't have to wait till #COVID fucked off #disability

I dunno what's going on with all this talk of the rapture, but now I have Blondie playing in my head lol www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHCd...

Great @leilaniclark.bsky.social read in @coyotemedia.org this morning about a kind of neighborhood watch I can get behind: Looking out for the safety of day laborers.

Sometimes I put so much heart & detail & time & spoons into my protest art, & it often feels like I'm screaming into a void with little to no impact or response. So what do I do with that? Stop trying? No. I'm gonna try making art that's boom, faster, still passionate, from the ❤️, but way simpler

Annie Lennox “why?” From the Together For Palestine concert at Wembly Stadium Sept 17. What is left to be said? Take local action wherever you live. #armsembargonow #foodnotbombs #letgazalive #TogetherforPalestine #Together4Palestine

“You can’t bomb the truth away” My full speech at Wembley Arena tonight, in London, to 12,000 people at the Together for Palestine concert, paying tribute to murdered Palestinian journalists and their bravery, and calling out the silence and complicity of Western media.

Francesca Albanese at the Together For Palestine benefit concert

Portishead's performance of "Roads" from Brian Eno's Together for Palestine concert.

(my brain wanted to add this to a brain's choice playlist, but alas it was already in a previous brain's choice playlist, & adding the same song to 2 brain choice playlist goes against the self imposed criteria lol. but it can be a #RandomJukeboxOfTheBrain post lol) www.youtube.com/watch?v=JM3f...

Last night I left 2 msgs to 2 friends (one each) with the disclaimer that the sploot is very much present & I was at the level of processing delay where I needed to include various facts/details before I could get to the point lol They responded, essentially matching my sploot & I appreciate that 🥰

I'm not a fan of AI for the ethical & environmental reasons, but my brain is amused @ the idea of an AI White Stripes cover band called the Pale Rectangles, where, because it's AI, things are just a bit off. For example, instead of "fell in love with a girl", it's "fell in love with a squirrel"

Today was a low spoons (energy) day, but I stumbled upon this pro-Palestine protest in #SecondLife

the way capitalism (particularly vulture capitalism) so very quickly bows down to fascism, because it values money over lives...

Don't let anyone tell you boycotts can't work. Don't let anyone tell you boycotts are just performative. When the right opportunity arrives, like it did for Tesla and Target, boycotts can do real damage. Disney is another perfect opportunity to use what power we do have.
