Ruaa and I chat as regularly as we can. She is a real person who could use some real support. I send her 10$ a month someone wanna join me?

In case you support Stonewall, consider maybe not at this point.

there's a familiar face on the NMN committee! I was so touched and honoured to be invited to join these amazing women, and I'm so excited to see what we and our members will do together. music is a huge part of my life & this is a wonderful thing to be part of. www.neurodivergentmusicnetwork.com

got my second men b jab, so I'm now fully protected. the nurse was so nice - apparently *everyone* had a really tough time with the first dose and I can expect the same this time. f in chat for my left arm.

seeing people go around in full winter coats whilst I'm outside thinking "omg it's the perfect temperature for not even a jacket" really highlights the way my body processes temperature differently.

The Strokes played Coachella against a backdrop listing all the world leaders that had been assassinated by the CIA, a count of the number of universities bombed in Iran, and footage of the bombing of the last university in Gaza

Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.

having to remind myself of this lately too. true friends will accept periods of distance - I know I do it for other people, and as hard as it is, I have to trust that there *are* people who will do it for me.

🌷The Abortion Quilt is so very close to being done and there is still time for you to enter the raffle to win it! 🌷

trans people are also far more likely to be diagnosed with personality disorders.

For my fellow Brits, re: energy bills ⬇️

UK trans people and friends - last few spaces left for our free workshop in Birmingham on Friday evening - please share! Thank you all - these workspaces are a bright spark in a dark world

A worker died at an Amazon warehouse in Oregon last week. For more than an hour, workers were instructed to continue working as the man lay dead. One worker wanted to help, but a manager told them to “Just turn around and not look. Let’s get back to work," according to @thewesternedge.bsky.social.

the #Hermitcraft charity weekend brought me so much joy, and now this song is stuck in my head, so I made a cover version of it. apologies for my mediocre minecraft video editing, but enjoy! (and thank you hermit fandom for being such a wonderful place to be <3)

heart very full from being part of the #hermitcraft fandom this weekend. so much joy and love and laughter.

this post-cleaning pain flare is so bad that I'm really starting to think about what I can do to get the money for a cleaner.

autistics are better than ai because: • we will make sure we are telling you facts • we will not fluff you up about how great you are • we will barely consume any water, to the point that you will be begging us to hydrate

Support Malik to survive while unhoused!

I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I. I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee

I have reposted many times and I still mean it when I say that supporting a Black midwife & writer is one of the best things you can do with a few bucks. so let's get those numbers up

no new music video today because pain but I did a music stream earlier today that there is a vod for <3

I can't stop laughing at this post. It's perfect.

Only 5 days left to submit an abstract for the first Neurodivergent Music Studies Conference! #AutRes #MusicResearch #PhD #AcademicSky

My latest is a reflection on the cycle of dread, disaster, and temporary reprieves we’re all navigating, what that cycle is doing to us, and how we can avoid losing ourselves to it. This edition also includes a roundup of must-read pieces that have helped me think about this moment.

"Stupid", "insane", "moronic" and other such terms are stand-ins for ideologies and systems of domination- white supremacy, imperialism, capitalism, patriarchy- that are embodied and acted out by actors of the fascist regime. When people can't name these systems, they resort to base ableism. 1/

Hm I have MANY thoughts about this (not least because I'm working on a piece about fandom right now...and also participate in fandom). I do feel like fandom coverage from people connected to those communities is very different from trend pieces from people just dropping into it...

I've never thought living this way would be possible for me with my disabilities. reading this has really given me hope. I joke with my queer friend-family about being able to live in a commune together and support each other. maybe it's not just a dream. maybe things like this are possible.

I can't tell you how important it is right now to find something you can do for and with other people. it does not need to be in person. it can be remote. asynchronous. whatever's accessible to you. but find something that will feed your soul and do it. help people. celebrate people. cultivate joy.

got the border all stitched in today on the quilt patch whilst on stream - now charging Charter so I can get it to the post office tomorrow. really, really feeling it today, so spending the rest of the day resting now I've done various tasks, but woo, it's done.

White disabled people you think it's bad for y'all? It's worse for us. White mad people are far less likely to be incarcerated in the worst psych wards & in prisons & to be on the streets than Black ones like me. Shut the fuck up thinking your oppression is the end all be all when you still white.

And this beautiful game on grief is out now! If you want to support Arab-made work about the Arab world, history, arts, and culture -especially in a time of destruction and erasure towards our people- I cannot recommend this game more. store.steampowered.com/app/3451680/...

God this poem is haunting me again.

The news today continues abhorrent, but so too do these beautiful words of wisdom and acts of beauty and care. Thank you so much to everyone giving such gifts to us all. It really matters.

I am so, so proud of this. my body is killing me now but here is the best expression of love and gratitude I could muster for my trans disabled friends and elders: the disability flag made of quotes. so excited to send this off to @transunityquilt.bsky.social - last minute but we got there!

booked a room on campus with a big enough table for me to work on the quilt patch! hoping I can get it all done in the two hours I'm allowed the room for, but worst case I should be far enough along that I can finish elsewhere on campus. v much doing this at the last minute but I'll get there.

WHAT the fuck is this???????? AI in psychiatry? Are they trying to kill people? (spoiler alert the answer's yes)

I've wished for Arab-made games about Arab mythology for so long, and despite assisting on the project I still can't believe there's one swinging for the fences this hard. House of Hikmah is something very needed in a time where the world would rather erase us. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZTu...

oh hey it's international asexuality day. hi, it's me, an acespec. I don't talk about this tons because it's a relatively new understanding of myself, and also because, y'know, explaining where you are on the ace spectrum is a *deeply* private/personal thing. but I am. so hi!

people choose to be bigoted. it is an active refusal to interrogate how systems of power shape them. no one chooses madness—it washes one away.

1/ Trans folks who have flown recently or soon: I'm creating a list of experiences of trans travelers with airport security, because there is a lot of scary stuff out there, and it's hard for people to know what the "ground truth" is. Please add your experiences when you go through security!

Donald Trump has a deep loathing for the mentally ill which comes out in everything he says about wanting us in asylums & everything he's doing to shove us in there. That's why we're like, um can you please not lump him in with us?

ooh this sounds fantastic

Hey, so I'm very sick and will have to rest and be out of work again this week. If you'd like to help with groceries and bills for the week, I'd be super grateful. Thank you ahead of time. You all are the best. gofundme.com/help-out-mona

What? No I’m fine why do you ask?

having a day where everything I attempt to do physically is just too painful to manage. very frustrating. part of it is working on the quilt patch, which I was attempting to do on the floor because of space - but kneeling is so awful. going to go into campus with it for bigger tables, I think.
