This week has sucked so far.

My vet loved my shirt today - it's this anti-declawing shirt by @crits4cats.org! streamlabs.com/crits4cats/m...

And my previous post comes on the heels of what I posted today. tl;dr, I was told that I was "fortunate" for how my #epilepsy is and that it's not too bad. Yes... I get that it could be worse. That does not help me. Telling me my disability could be worse is not helpful at all. It never is.

I am now thoroughly convinced that "support groups" are a bunch of people madly competing in the Suffering Olympics. Unless there's someone actively taking the lead, everyone is just fighting to see who has it worse.

It didn't come out very good but at least I made it with my own two hands and not AI LOL

Millions of women have experienced sexual violence from acquaintances, classmates, or colleagues, to strangers. Stigma, shame, and fear keep many silent. But abuse is never the survivor’s shame. 🗣️ Believe and support survivors ⚖️ Hold perpetrators accountable ✅ Every sexual act requires consent

Boy, oh boy, do I love it when those with a disability gatekeep others with the same disability! Do I have to get another stamp on my Suffering Punch Card before I can be allowed into the support club? This is all sarcasm, if it wasn't readily obvious.

Yes. I know I've been on a promo'ing spree lately. I like the content and I want to see it grow and become even more popular. Also... This is my social media account. I do what I want.

If you or someone you care about has #autism, please check out @orion-kelly.bsky.social and his YouTube channel. I was so lucky to have found his content, because within an hour I was sending my partner Orion's videos. This guy explains so much of what I can't. Orion is absolutely brilliant.

HE SEES YOU WHEN YOU'RE SLEEPING HE KNOWS WHEN YOU'RE AWAKE YOU BETTER WATCH OUT YOU BETTER WATCH OUT YOU BETTER WATCH OUT The limited X-mas collection is up on my store! Featuring shirts, sweaters and more with 4 designs! It'll only be up until Christmas! valdevia.store/collections/...

Between @ballxpit.com and "Noobs are Coming," I have been head bobbing and jiving along in my chair here at work for a good week and a half now. The best part? BallxPit is on Spotify! Check them out. They make great background music for working. open.spotify.com/album/6wUpPq...

Seeing & acknowledging the "good" in someone or their progress is not inconsistent w/ being realistic about their red flags or limitations. In fact, one of the most loving, supportive things we can do for someone is to be real about those red flags & limitations. Do both.

You are worth so much more than half assed effort in relationships. Don't let your trauma history convince you otherwise. "Their" inability to step up has zero to do w/ whether you deserve high effort. "Their" effort issue is a "them" issue -- which WILL catch up to them.

I don't believe "everything happens for a reason." But I do choose to believe everything that happens to me & all of my responses, even the very imperfect ones, can teach me something I can use to strengthen & stabilize my trauma recovery. I'm not wasting this pain.

"They" are going to try to convince you you are "responsible" for their emotional reactions-- because "they" are not working a recovery. Those of us who are working our trauma recovery know, & remember, that we cannot "make" anyone feel anything or "control" anyone's behavior.

Just had a coworker say that she hopes her daughter never has a seizure as bad as my numerous ones. ...um...I hope so, too? Why did I have to be told that?

To understand the life of a person with cPTSD, is to understand they’ve experienced multiple traumas and after each one, people taught them how to adapt to that pain, rather than making the traumas stop.

Blanketing clouds in the sky. #blueskyartshow #sky #clouds #photography #mountains #cloudy #eastcoastkin #artyear

One reason why trauma recovery can feel so weird for survivors is, we've been convinced we don't "deserve" to feel or function better. That "who do you think you are?" voice can be very loud. Who do you think you are? You're a survivor who deserves recovery-- that's EXACTLY who.

Oh this week is going to be a trying one.

Happy Caturday 🐾🤍

Our new pose reference drop is here! Cyn Wei is back by popular demand & draped in fabric 💗⚔

Ah, it's always such a delight to have my weekend cut in half because the coworker that is fucking my supervisor decided to call out again. It is so pathetic how whipped she has got this guy.

Our new Flowing Fabric reference pack will still be dropping this week, just a little late. One more sneak peek in the meantime. 💗💕

It's not our fault the whole scene is A MESS. If you are an artist too you aren't failing. The whole industry is getting messed up right now!! I know a lot of the times I feel like "why am I not good enough?" We are good enough. they are trying to hire NOBODY

I don't care if a non-disabled person accesses a disability accommodation for the same reason I don't care if a child whose parents are rich gets free lunch at school. We don't need to means test being a kind person. I have better things to do with my time than be a cop over social services.

I'm begging any artists still using Twitter claiming it's integral to their work to just leave. It's been revealed the site works off a made up "credit score" from hell and punishes you for posting like a normal human being. Abandon Twitter for good. It's time. It's been time.

Looks like I’m havin’ a little chat with Stephen tonight.

These are good moments to remember that the CEOs of all the biggest companies in America are happy to go to White House dinners and slap this guy’s back. They do not care about this. Remember this, years from now, when they want you to forget.

i think the inability to tell the difference between "i don't like it" and "i don't like it so i have to figure out a way to imply this thing i don't like is morally evil" is the most fundie thing i see people who are aren't technically fundie regularly do these days

Evening before Thanksgiving, our ginger kitty (L) had a severe allergic reaction. Emergency vet saved him, but he wasn’t bouncing back like we’d hoped, and a follow-up visit for further testing revealed pneumonia. We would deeply appreciate help with affording his care. ❤️ ko-fi.com/kilagreene/g...

Maybe it's making things worse, but at least it's trying. #mentalhealth #anxiety

I am loving the way this pink eye shadow makes my eyes look sunken in and emphasizes the shadows under my eyes. I look like I've got the plague and it's great. Helps get people to leave me alone. I am dead serious about this, too. (Pun intended.)

While this article goes very rightly into the disrespect actors have faced in dubbing, underneath that is an entire ecosystem of abused and rushed freelancers doing the timecoding, adapting, directing, engineering, and mixing who Amazon also attempted to cut. www.avclub.com/amazon-ai-an...

Survivors often walk around feeling like we're keeping all these secrets-- even if we're not quite clear what those "secrets" even are. You need to know there is nothing that happened to you or that you struggle w/ now that is shameful-- even if you're not ready to tell anyone.

Hey yall, I’m in a very bad spot at the moment. I’m currently £600 in credit debt. I really really need help with this, as much as I hate to ask for it. I have stuff for sale on eBay, please consider buying something or sharing ebay.us/m/WDb949 Comms and KoFi donos are also seriously helpful.

Pretty much sums up the moment.

Louder please. I can’t hear you over the gargle of whale head juice, bear guts and heroin.
