Post you from a different era. 1995, baybeeee! 🤣🤣🤣

Hey all! If anyone has some change to spare to help me pay for my insulin pump supplies, it would be much appreciated! Being diabetic in the US is unfortunately an intense stress nightmare. ko-fi.com/norskheks/go...

Apparently, the reason my parents have all our dead pets' ashes in decorative canisters in the living room is that they want to be buried with them. Like, they have it all planned out which of the 4 of us gets which pet. Like they're trying to find a loophole to "we go to different heavens", lmao

My mom and I were talking about bathroom bills, and she's someone who gets anxious/defensive about not being able to remember the current terminology. But she used the phrase "people who can pee standing up" very naturally bc we were talking about urinals. It's that easy! Just don't be weird (neg)!!

We need to re-evaluate the relationship between work and income, and the calvinist bullshit that infests our culture is the biggest obstacle to doing so.

last post lost traction so im posting again ❤️‍🩹 hi friends, i am once again asking for help with my cat's kidney treatment 🥹 signal boosts are highly appreciated 🐱❤️ ko-fi.com/deborahalves...

So at the vegan place near me, if you tell them you have celiac, they'll specially prep your food separately from everything else (same with allergies), and---🤣🤣🤣

Is anyone else having trouble downloading from ao3 rn? Are we overloading it??

all while we’re still in the middle of a pandemic that is still killing and disabling even more people. largely *because* we got tired of stopping the spread and went right back to spending long hours in tight quarters with no masking and inadequate air purification/ventilation.

We will never be an egalitarian society as long as preparing for work and submission are the primary goals of education.

If I could get non-autistic people to understand one thing, it wouldn't be that I have support needs. It would be that YOU have support needs.

Of course this motherfucker asked my cc'd (female) supervisor to explain it to me! Bitch, she doesn't know, she told me to ask you!!!!! I would bet like $10 that he doesn't know either.

Asking a male coworker in a different department to explain how something tangential to my job works is making me realize how often I HAVEN'T done that in my life. People would get annoyed or assume I wouldn't be able to understand (bc I have tits I guess??), so I just gave up. Yeah nah, fuck that.

Me playing geoguessr: This has to be the US, no one else would have those stupid fucking double turning lanes in the middle.

I ate a huge bowl of soup for lunch and now the sunlight is streaming bright and warm through my windows onto my couch, and I have to work, but all I want to do is cat 😿😭

So not the important thing about it, but does anyone else pronounce acetaminophen "uh-see-tuh-MEN-uh-fin" /əsitə'mɛnəfɪn/, not "-MIN-" /əsitə'mɪnəfɪn/? I do, and my dialect isn't remotely close to having a pin/pen merger (northern cities shift baybee). Is it common or just my family? 🤔

This could be so fucking useful for restaurants! 😱

Starting Fantasy High Junior Year, which was filmed 4 years after Sophomore year apparently... ohhhh, Ally's voice, I'm so happy for them 🥹🥹🥹

happy bi day to me, to you, to trans bisexuals, to bisexuals who mostly prefer women, to bisexuals who mostly prefer men, to bisexuals who do gender fuckery together or alone or with many, to ace bisexuals, to aro bisexuals, to all bisexuals!!! i love you, we are grand and beautiful

Sometimes as a disabled person, I internalize eugenic thoughts about me being a burden. I try to remember what Margaret Mead allegedly said about the first sign of civilization: healed broken bones. Humans have done amazing shit BECAUSE of the fact that we help each other, NOT in spite of it.

Please boost! #linguistics student here at Swarthmore is running a survey for English speakers (who don't know Mandarin / any other tone languages) about how we learn tones. Take a few minutes to help out with this student research! swarthmore.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

I think it's a fucking crime that I can't personally reach my doctor at the office. I have to go through receptionists, nurses, and PAs. Only they get to speak to the doctor outside scheduled appointment times. Even when staff aren't listening to what I need. Are other countries like this???

What's really funny is that there's a legend in my family (probably apocryphal, my grandpa was known to make shit up) that my grandpa was wandering around the west coast after serving in WWII, and he was invited to dinner by a nice man, and he didn't realize it was Walt until he got a studio tour.

It is done! I have pockets!!!!! Time to play my trumpet with and at other well(?)-dressed queer people for an hour!!!

WFH

I made my first pocket (added to an existing dress)!!! It's not very pretty, but whatever, it's going to have a layer of same-colored tulle over it anyway. Taking a break and then doing the right pocket tonight! 😁

I had such an amazing time at the Midwest Pirate Camp last week but unfortunately can't make it next year. so I thought 'what if there were one in NY?' if this sounds like something you might be interested in, please fill out this interest check! forms.gle/VZGDCgCXsxor...

"Uhh, I... did this. On purpose!"

... Oh my god, I just realized it's because my nails are long enough to get soft in the water and that grosses me out. (I already had a yuck moment today when my nails touched my phone before my fingertip did. I hate that.) Okay! I guess I'm about to clip my nails and then do dishes.

I know I need to do dishes. I know I'll feel better after they are done. I know that once I start the process, it will not feel like such a big task. It might even be fun bc I'll listen to music and sing. But. The absolute fucking last thing I want to do right now is start doing the fucking dishes.

"Kid, I don't know how else to say this, other than... you're easy to love. And anyone who couldn't figure it out was a real bozo." I'm fine. It's fine! I'm fine! I haven't always needed to hear that my whole fucking life or anything! Is someone chopping onions in here???

Went to the grocery store and someone pointed and laughed at my mask. It was a toddler, though, so it was just really fucking cute. She kept waving at me and saying "hi" too. If you wanna make friends with toddlers, wear an N95! 😷👶😂

Watching the finale of Fantasy High Sophomore Year, which aired at the beginning of COVID, and it's soooooooo fucking depressing how they're talking about it like something that will hopefully be over soon if we all wash our hands and self-quarantine.

fuck. fuck. FUCK. FUUUUUUUUUCK

If *health insurance companies* are doing better than you at public health, you know you done FUCKED. UP.

"I think for Adaine it's all about, like, a mix of the twin fears of the fear of failure and the fear of loss of control... I feel like go hand in hand...." Okay, who gave D20 permission to use my therapy notes to make their chatacters?!?!

I need to stay awake for the next hour and half and eat (a non-food-coma-inducing) dinner to get to band rehearsal. Think alert and wakeful thoughts for me, please 😭 Been drinking caffeine all day but it's not been enough to sub for a nap 😭😭😭

Kinda fucked up that under capitalism my work laptop gets to sleep from the moment I clock out to the moment I clock in the next morning, but I have to do shit like cook and clean and eat (not necessarily in that order), and that's not even counting the time spent organizing against capitalism.

I asked my co-worker today to do something for me that I could do but is quite literally their job, and they're complaining (as they are wont to do), and I don't even feel the slightest bit guilty. Oh my god, I've come so far in my codependency recovery 😭😭😭

Me at 5:30am: I am suddenly fully awake, but it's so dark so I'm going to scroll until I feel sleepy again or the sun rises. Me at 7am, alarm going off: I would rather die than get up rn. 🤦🏻😖

If you see this, quote the energy you bring to Bluesky

Oh my god this shit is so fucking good (if you like coconut, obv) 🤤

Orwell would also remind us: don’t let outrage be your only politics. Go to hospitals, foodbanks, union meetings, refugee hostels. Real solidarity is built in the ordinary places where people live and struggle. Defend the small decencies that make life liveable.

I'm all vaxxed up and have canned chicken soup and other easy meals ready in case I feel like dogshit tomorrow! 👌🏻

Saturday afternoon D20 and almond flour pancakes with like half a can of whipped cream and some fruit 😌

NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Last night I sat on my couch and waited for my neighbor's loud party to be over. Tonight I am sitting on my couch waiting for a neighbor's movie, which feels like it is about earthquakes or avalanches, or giant monsters who cause them, to be over. Then I can continue with my fucking shows in peace.

Anyway, the neighbors are having a party in their backyard right below my living room window, so I don't know what to do with myself bc it feels like I can't do anything bc it feels like the party is in my apt bc I can hear everything, even though ik they are not perceiving me at all 🙃 thanks brain!

I'd actually like to say a bit more about this...! I'm not just saying ofmd s3 can't exist under fascism because fascists hate queer people and poc (esp queer poc), though that's certainly true enough. But another reason is that fascists also hate workers. (1/5)

If I may offer my perspective here... The state of the entertainment business and the rise of national (particularly US/UK) fascism are inherently connected. Cancelling queer and racially diverse shows has everything to do with attacks on trans people and immigrants irl.... (1/3)
