People in their 20s never believe me, but turning 30 has been truly the best age yet. Free of the crushing social pressure to do something "in time" and just living by the seat of my pants. The agony of life never goes, but how you interact with the world can

Power kept on, thank you so much all who helped boost/donate! 🖤

I'm drawing again

I'm going to lose my power on 06/06 if I can't come up with $104. Please help me stay cool & be able to cook/keep food this month. Sharing the post helps as much as donating! I'm disabled & have no stable income. CA $gothswamp Vmo swampgoth ko-fi.com/swamp_goth Thank you so much to all who help 🖤

The "out of the way swine" comic is great but this is the best comic strip of all time

This kind of mixed use urban planning is illegal in America

This is the extremely rare Aardvark Moon which strikes me as appropriate for today's #BlueSkyArtShow #Odd I will likely not ever see a moon like this again! #Photography #EastCoastKin

New study: The risk of Alzheimer’s disease significantly decreases in older adults who receive a higher dose of the influenza vaccine compared to the standard dose.

The CDC has paused testing for rabies and pox viruses. It's vital we keep a close eye on them as rabies is virtually 100% fatal without vaccination, and smallpox killed hundreds of millions (we really don't want a similar virus returning). Losing track of these viruses is a recipe for catastrophe.

Disabled people need and deserve the social & economic support to live independent lives They shouldn’t be forced to rely on abusive caregivers, live in legislated poverty or be institutionalized Disability is not a moral failing. It’s a minority group you can join at any time

And in horrifying news, Idaho's governor has signed the felony bathroom ban, with 5 year penalties for second offense bathroom usage, into law. This is the most significant criminalization of trans people to date. On trans day of visibility no less. It will require a new "Do not travel" warning.

These community letters ask for doctors to receive training regarding ME/CFS. As matters currently stand, many (if not most) doctors have no training in ME/CFS. Therefore, when patients such as myself arrive in their offices, they don't know how to handle our condition. Please sign.

every person who calls you a radical for accurately shifting to adapt to escalating situations has simply moved further right and are upset that you won't join them they're even more upset that you noticed

We have a Shelter, Food and Water out for the local stray cats, and whatever animals come by, like Possums or squirrels. Recently on the Camera set up to watch them a Mystery Critter has been showing up, Finally tonight, enough light to see what it was. A Tailless Raccoon. 🦝

I'm in need of help with replacing a flat tire. I live in a rural area where my car is my only reliable transportation to access medical care, food, any necessities. It is 110 total for a new tire. I'm disabled & have no income/benefits. Any amount helps! C gothswamp V swampgoth ko-fi.com/swamp_goth

I know we're all seeing 87 unhinged things per day, but "guys if our multi billion dollar product doesn't start being useful for something, literally anything, the people might not appreciate us wrecking the planet over it anymore" is a truly bananapants thing to say out loud

ICE is writing secret memos claiming power to invade homes without warrants. They're using children as bait. They're killing. Congressional Democrats are about to vote to increase their budget by $18 billion. Call your House rep tonight. The vote may come tomorrow. www.patreon.com/posts/148814...

I’m seeing increased use of this word and I just want to gently suggest that if there’s one word you can manage to remove from your vocabulary it should be this one. It was coined by a eugenicist who used it as a diagnosis to forcibly institutionalize and sterilize mentally disabled people.

Wild to think it'll be my birthday in five days, though I'll be spending most of it in psychotherapy class... But if you ever want to help me out during a challenging time (no luck in job-hunting), any ko-fi dono would be greatly appreciated, but only what you can manage! ko-fi.com/queerportents

Almost every day i think about the world before ai and how i had no idea how lucky i was to be in it

Generative AI is also causing me more work as a college professor, in teaching, research, and admin work.

My friend Adam just left a terrible living situation bc it was making his disabilities worse every day. His only option was to live in his car. If youre able to pls help a disabled person in crisis even if its just a dollar or two CA $agrimmsounds Vmo @Adam-Grimm-94 www.gofundme.com/f/DisabledBu...

As an author, I’ve already gotten multiple emails from people asking me for fake articles and books that I’ve supposedly written, because chatbots have told them fake references. I *cannot imagine* the frustration and time waste for librarians and especially ILL library professionals right now.

Hey y'all 👋💚 I'm really struggling to afford groceries, gas, and bills right now. Most immediately, I need gas to go buy cat food tonight. If anyone's able to help with a dollar or two, or sharing this post, it'd mean a lot! Venmo swampgoth CA $gothswamp ko-fi.com/swamp_goth

girl,,, i am begging politicians to be normal about trans people and not trip over their dicks

Pay editors. Pay artists. Learn how to self edit if you can’t afford an editor. Use a photo editor (without ai) and make a stock photo look nice!! AI is lazy and *most* people will appreciate the effort you’ve put into your book and cover!!

While the flowers of Fringe Lilies (Thysanotus sp.) are usually a beautiful deep purple colour, occasionally you can spot a Fringe Lily with flowers in other stunning colours 💜🤍🩶🩷 These were flowering today in the Perth Hills #ozflora #wildoz #nativeplants #bloomsrolling #nature #inaturalist

Today is Dysautonomia Awareness Day. This condition has been devastating to live with. It’s so much more than “just fainting” When your autonomic nervous system doesn’t work, you get issues with your heart rate, breathing, temperature, digestion, respirations & more.

SNAP is not the reason your taxes are high. SNAP recipients don’t need to “just go get a job”. Most of them work. The rest are disabled, elderly, children or caregivers. People need & deserve assistance Your taxes fund wars and tax cuts for the ultra rich Be mad about that

I told you I had a new vintage photo to show you if you hit the fundraising goal, so here it is! Meet Mr. Big. New photo in my collection, no date/info. 🖤

No. Our mask requirement is not "virtue signalling". It's protecting a) the cancer patient and b) the child who is still too small to wear a mask. And also--and I can't emphasize this strongly enough--you.

The #DisabledJoy hashtag was started in March 2018 by Andrew Farkash on Twitter. It's quickly evolved as a disability concept created for and by the disabled community. As such, we want to celebrate Disabled Joy as a part of Disability month which is October. #ChronicLoaf #Criptober

This is going to kill people. And to be honest I think that’s part of the point.

This remarkable therapy uses an approach the Trump administration just cancelled funding for.
