If you invoke Helen Keller as inspirational without mentioning the uphill battles and friction she fought her entire life, I will fight you. It will go poorly and I will lose, but you will have to live with the fact that you got slapped ineffectually by a very weak person.

So apparently, when I am trying to solve the multiple problems that spring up on a daily basis in this household of two disabled people, And my damaged brain is trying to find the correct words to communicate, The tone of my speech is "sarcastic & hurtful" Time to revert back to selective mutism

That's one hell of a "Deal" he secured How's that "ceasefire" going? Is anyone winning yet?

Sometimes Mom treats me as a live action Barbie doll, buying me outfits, hair stuff, jewelry, etc Even though I have no events to dress up for Except I have an event now, #TheAirborneToxicEvent concert, 2 days after my b-day Mom: "You will go to the concert dressed as a Crow" Me: 🤩👗🐦‍⬛

Today is my birthday and all I wanted was to raise $5,000 for our local animal shelter. Well, you guys more than DOUBLED that goal. I am so grateful. Donations will remain open through midnight if you didn't get a chance to chip in! 🥰 givebutter.com/mollys-birth...

Buy banned books, from independent bookstores, read them, celebrate them, give them as gifts.

FYI, I might mute the word "rescue" for a few days, including from people I follow So I might miss some of your "available for adoption" posts that I normally like to repost and share But it's only temporary Just trying to avoid a news story

My birthday is TOMORROW which means it's your last chance to pitch in and help our fundraiser for shelter kitties! We are so close to $11,000 - it would be amazing to hit that milestone! Thank you! 🐈🚀 givebutter.com/mollys-birth...

Collecting #PhysicalMedia is a revolutionary act More now than ever

#SellingUsedBooks Getting a grant to put my Internet operation on hold for a year would go a long way towards keeping me out of a padded room but in my country, only oligarchs and insurrectionists are eligible for Universal Basic Income I just want my will to live to return (I'm NOT suicidal)

Fuck you SCOTUS

Mom got an electric wheelchair to use for out of house excursions There are uneven sections of sidewalk w/in 1 block that are too much for her wheelchair to handle So she is essentially trapped, unless she goes into the street One of the richest cities on the planet, but not accessible Cool

Katydid has to go the neurologist in a month so I’m running a sale on all not catnip items in my Etsy shop. All funds will go towards her summer checkup, bloodwork, and getting her seizure meds for another 6 months. Use code NEURO4KD to get 25% off non catnip items mindysperson.etsy.com

My rent is due by July 1st, and I have less than $200 in my bank account. The amount due is $980, and the management company doesn't accept partial payments. I've applied to five more jobs since posting the skeet below, and have had to buy gas and groceries since. Links in bio if able to help.

*Whispers* Amazon doesn't need your money, but your local independent bookstore does.

Just a quick question for all the lovely people out there. You doing okay? Just know you're not the only one. This economic nonsense is global. The downturn's affecting all of us. Speak to friends. Please don't isolate. You're awesome. You matter. You're not alone.🌸🌺🌻❤️

The landscaping company hired by the HOA cut down the food garden a couple of units were growing in the dirt patch that had previously laid barren for years Do they not fucking understand people here are going hungry? As if making ends meet in Silicon Valley weren't hard enough #FoodNotLawns

Your 4th of July plans should include responsible considerations for your pets. If your pet needs anti-anxiety meds to deal with fireworks, check to make sure you have some NOW so you have time to get a refill if necessary.

I've been sick for 16 days It's the 2nd (3rd?) time I've gotten sick this year, despite continuing to indoor mask Whatever this is, it's got lasting power I think that's the norm for my Long Covid A 3 day "cold" turns into a 3 week drag I woke up at 4 am with a migraine, which I medicated +

🧵If you live in a place in drought, please put out water for the pollinators, birds and bees. The animals are struggling. We must help them stay alive through this drought. I've seen people complain that they have flowers but no butterflies. Water is more important to all beings than food.

Mitch McConnell has been in the hospital for 5 days. We still have no idea why. Rep. Tom Kean has been missing for months. Hasn't voted or done the people's business in months. He's running for re-election in November. The people deserve to know if their representatives are too sick to serve.

DOJ memo suggesting “interpreting” Olmsted differently. The Supreme Court decision that affirms disabled people’s right to live in a community instead of institutionalization. If you don’t push back against this, nondisabled Americans, we’re in deep shit. From your son with an IEP to your grandma.

I have reached peak Jodie Foster Listening To Washing Machines because radio waves In that no one can hear the singsong "Muuurphyyy" voice at the 13:20 timestamp below (2:38:16 am) that I'm apparently hallucinating Will my insurance authorize a brain MRI youtu.be/Rh2caQQoD44?... #Idaho4

Note to self - when sick, tired, cranky, and doomscrolling, throw on some background music It *will* boost endorphins, and at the very least, hold off a full on spiral breakdown Even when your band of choice has never released a "happy song" (Tho apparently Reddit is happy to debate that claim)

Every last person who thinks it's cool to buy and set off illegal explosives... I hope one day YOU are in charge of an oxygen dependent wheelchair bound person storing a warehouse worth of highly flammable oxygen tanks in your home at the furthest part of a dead end street with zero escape routes

Remember when RFK Jr said "people w/autism will never..."? What too many refuse to admit is RFK wasn't "misstating facts", he was prmising what our future would be People with autism (and other "differences") won't do those things BECAUSE RFK POLICIES WON'T ALLOW THOSE PEOPLE TO EXIST IN SOCIETY

This is Wister. When I first met him he was terrified and disoriented, but the shelter where I volunteer gave him the time, space, and support he needed to blossom and become affectionate and happy. If you can, please consider a donation to help cats like Wister! givebutter.com/mollys-birth...

Meet Crumb, Button, and Clover. A friend in the Bay Area found them behind a gas station. Unfortunately, she isn't able to keep them, so if she can't find someone to adopt them, they will be going to a shelter. Can you help me find them a home? They are in good health and very tame.

How many scientists will get fired for Conspiring With The Rain To Ruin Everything

Woke up with no fever! Still sick, but can tell I'm improving I might be able to price some books today, the ones already in my bedroom I was supposed to go to 3 book sales today; that obviously won't be happening I'm grateful I'm not forced to expose other people to whatever this is

CA Central Valley and SF Bay Area people - Don't know the current wind patterns, but this is unfolding Live overhead coverage on YouTube is available This fire is so massive And there's another fire close by I hope people and animals can find safety

Finally, the pain is mostly gone Thank you meds Now just resting & dealing w/weakness on top of heat intolerance I'm too tired to stress about the work that is not getting done, but at least I can put it off for a few days without experiencing utter devastation I'm so grateful for that

Whoever the hell keeps spam calling me from a Texas area code needs to just leave me a voice mail so I can rule you out as unimportant and block you, thanks

Fever controlled, resorting to migraine meds for the sinus pain Whatever this is, it's brutal - the sinus pressure (despite not being particularly congested) has caused one of the most intense cervicogenic migraines I've had in the past 25 years (It's not "the worst headache of my life" though)

Sore throat 80F in bedroom 100F in body Need steady Otter Pop stream Too weak to manage the stairs & make that happen This is fun /s (I've tested negative for Covid; the person I was exposed to tested negative for Covid, flu, rsv & is on their Day 4)

There’s a reason they’re targeting libraries. They don’t want you educated. They don’t want you to have a nuanced view of history. Or to read novels that will give you empathy. Or to know about inspiring women, Black or LGBTQ people. They want you intellectually small and easy to manipulate.

As a reader, I love libraries! I can't afford every single book that I read in a year. And I'm avoiding major retailers like Amazon/B&N when I can. So the library is great! Ebooks, audiobooks, and visits for physical copies. My Libby/Hoopla always has something borrowed at any moment.
