One of my best friends and I discussed the qualities of a "good" can opener today.... intriguing.

Not me: Casey Anne, I love the tattoo on your back. Me: i have a tattoo on my back?

Good use of my grad-school-honed research skills: find the date of marriage date for my great grandfather to his first wife so I can then narrow down when/where she died to month/location and then to specific date. Wild.

The fact that they’re tracking autism and not the bird flu automatically tells you they’re operating on eugenics and not actually wanting people to be healthy. They want you sick, disabled, or dead.

I would almost kill my gopro sitting still. 🤣

Learning to make ravioli lasagna was a GOOD choice.

I'm concussed so I have been trying to avoid screens but here's my brain on concussion and chaos... debating painting it in with water color markers or not. Thoughts? #actuallyautistic #autisticartist #creative #bored #doodles

If you have to have your surrogates debate people about what the exact definition of "concentration camp" is, you're probably the villain.

How, in a house full of ducks, did we get a giraffe? My friend, on how I am different from my family.

Y'all, I can't even with my life. If it's not one thing, it's another.

April is Autism Acceptance Month, and as an autistic creator, I've decided to celebrate by offering a 30% discount on stickers on my website Www.cabrimmer.com/stickers Go check them out!

This wouldn't surprise folks who know me... but I'm not great at resting. There is so much I want to do and so little energy to do it.

When you use humor to cope with stress and being uncomfortable but you have pneumonia and laughing makes you cough.... a lot. Yeah, that's a feeling. Going on 48th hour in the hospital. (Ish. B.c who was counting on Friday? Definitely not me).

I was so excited to visit my people in Virginia this weekend but now have some kind of something with cough and fever that make it too risky to go. So, now that I'm disappointed, will people send me their adorable animal pictures? Thanks.

There I am, teaching our last content class; getting feedback from the students on what they liked and didn't, what worked and what to replace. And there are my students giving me FEELINGS. I'm going to miss them.

#SisterFunk makes for a great end to the weekend. #allWomenBand #Music

In all the chaos of the world, I don't think getting paid to make art will ever get old.

Forget defining "normal." I vote we dismantle and destroy it. To be clear, I mean this in the context of the jerks who say being queer or autistic or otherwise disabled or... or... or... isn't "normal." Not in the "what is happening in the US right now isn't normal but let's DT destroy it more."

The important thing right now is not to lose hope and become immobilized. With flooding the zone, that is precisely what they are hoping to do, to make you feel as if you have no voice. It is imperative that every single one of us stay informed and involved. 1/2

I keep repeating this message to myself. Maybe you need the reminder too. #EnoughIsABSWord #YouAreFarMoreThanEnough www.cabrimmer.com/product-page...

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”. This is a manifesto against disability. This is the language of eugenics.

This is the #Trans Dreaming #Manifesto I wrote as a sample for my students this quarter. I mean every word. Once again, my Trans Studies students are amazing. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8Y4Dv2J/

Help me workshop a word for gay+chaos 1]gayos 2] gaos 3] gayous 4]gayaos Seriously, it's a great descriptor for what I bring to the world...at least to the world within my reach. 🤣

I was trying to write, but Zotero has other ideas.

Does anyone else anxiously check the news whenever someone just pops in to check on you? Seriously, I never know when something else is gonna go wrong in this place.

These two stickers are coming to my shop soon. "They Will Choke Us With Their Hate And Call It Biblical We Cannot Let Them" and "They Will Choke Us With Their Hate and Call It Love We Cannot Let Them" white text with dark red outline on black rectangles. #lgbtq #queer #resistance #queeresistance

Hey y'all, shameless plug here: if you're looking for queer and trans protest or resistance stickers or car magnets and you want to support an #queer #nonbinary #disabled #lesbian #creator with #feminist principles check out Www.cabrimmer.com/shop. Check out images below.

In other news, here is a short film I made in 2017 with the help of @stormytalks.bsky.social. Parts of it are realer today than ever. Other parts are complicated post divorce and stuff. But, real people's trans lives are at stake, here is some of that portrayed in a short (<10minute) film.

"They will choke us with their hate and call it love. We cannot let them." This piece, "And Call It Love" is a digital piece over an actually watercolor background in maroon/red/pink of all the things I heard from the "church" i attended as a teen. I don't know what I believe and haven't for a long

Things said to my cousin in a church today "I feel like our tisms reverberate off each other in a way that is pleasant today."

Spending the evening with Sister Funk in CT. I'm super excited to be with good people and listen to good music.

I realized yesterday that Archie isn't just good at being chaos. He takes his role as Archduke of Chaos seriously and tries to quell it as well. Grateful for my fluffy boy.

Sold some stickers today to this lovely human who buys enough that she calls me her "sticker dealer," I suppose there are worse things I could be really. Link to tiktok packing video. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8YecrMa/

Trying to comfort myself and get my own mask back on by watching a version of les mis that used to calm me....apparently, it now increases anxiety. That's annoying...but also, that's society.

You are allowed to feel joy. Yes, even now. Joy is resistance.

@kelli1319.bsky.social can attest to the fact that I have some very colorful commentaries when I am reading texts. I hope she'll be happy to hear that this has not changed in the 9.5 years of her knowing me

Beware of interest convergence in trying times. If they suddenly give the marginalized what they want there's a reason. Ask yourself what is in it for them?

I am not in this book, but, I am pumped to read it. And not just because my Y'all Means All photo is on the cover!

I am not trying to be "good." Right now, I am just trying to be.

Hey you. Yeah, you. Things are hard. It feels impossible to get through what is happening right now. This is your reminder that YOU ARE WORTH DOING HARD THINGS FOR. Period. End of sentence. #LGBTQIA #BIPOC #disabled the marginalized and minoritized are worth fighting for.

The anxieties of my trans students and myself are still growing. The following quote comes to mind: "it is our duty to fight for our freedom. It is our duty to win. We must love each other and protect each other. We have nothing to lose but our chains." —Assata Shakur

This is a reminder from someone I love that they will try to keep me safe under the new-ish regime. This friend believes me when I tell him I am afraid for people I love, including myself. He understands the fears are not unfounded. If you want to be an "ally" check on your marginalized folks.

I hope you find something beautiful in today. Something that brings you a smile or some hope.

More people, especially mental health practitioners, need to know #GenderEuphoria exists in contrast to #GenderDysphoria. #Trans Lives are not only negative experiences. Oftentimes, our transness can bring us great joy. Let me tell you a story: (1/3)

If this doesn't resonate with every experience I've had writing papers and chapters, I don’t know what does.

Today was a really, really good day. I'm still struggling with my voice not working but all of my students (in attendance) participated in one form or another. We had some good discussion for it only being class 3 of the quarter.

Seeing community continue after classes end is a gift.

I designed these products for those who are actively supportive of the #LGBTQ+ community. For those who strive to keep us safe. Available as iron-on patches, lanyards, keychains, pins, badge reels, and stickers. Proceeds support a #queer #disabled artist. www.cabrimmer.com/product-page...

Today I learned, that you can change Word to white text on a black screen. That would have been helpful while dissertating.
