sometimes when my aging Chloe cat gets up from lying down, she makes a soft "eugh-ergh" noise very similar to that of the venerated Thwomp

This is a subtweet about delivery services. Thank you. 🫡

Here's the thing about the intersection between disability and labor. Those services ARE needed. Yes, those ones that you think are extraneous. The workers who provide them deserve good working conditions, safety measures, and pay enough to live comfortably on.

I want to live in a world where even if there's a "cause" of autism found, the answer would be "so?" But we don't live in that world, and that includes people on all parts of the political spectrum.

I usually emphasize the last syllable of "hello," but after careful consideration I will now be emphasizing the hell we live in.

Oh. Oh God. Retail workers, I am so sorry.

NYT calls out a troubling truth: many older people with disabilities don’t ask for help, not just because of cost, but because of stigma. “Many people still feel like ‘disability’ is a dirty word” https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/15/health/older-people-disability.html

GOOD NEWS: @ramirez.house.gov will be working with @sanders.senate.gov to introduce the Pensions for All Act. The bill requires corporations to provide traditional pension plans for their workers or pay into the federal retirement system to ensure all workers receive retirement benefits.

alert alert! double decker cats

mad pride

my maybe controversial woke take is that we need to bring the same "abolish the police" energy to the medical profession, and I don't just mean health insurance companies

If you have issues finding safe spaces among streams for LGBT+ people or those with disabilities may I suggest checking www.peer2peer.live It's a discoverability tool that streamers can apply for & set a multitude of tags up for easy searching It's managed by Trans Lifeline so you know it's good!

my toxic trait is I don't believe having a neurodivergent special interest makes you an expert. that doesn't mean you can't be ND, have a special interest, and become an expert!

update on the horrors

My Epstein files related opinion is that I wish we had an electorate/citizenry that would punish the people who were already clearly involved without needing to see the act in front of them or whatever

The way Clericatl describes their journey doesn't feel much different than my own. I hope better treatment/cures become available for FMS. I was diagnosed in like 04/05. It's been a struggle if I'm honest. I've always felt this was more nervous system related & less everything else. -

On behalf of the Pit Crew's fundraiser for Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest NC, we ended up raising $11,317.45 in total. I'm floored by the generosity of this community. I don't know what to say apart from thank you! @skybilz.bsky.social @tietuesday.bsky.social @sword.zone @smight.bsky.social

I was writing letters to the editor about this 20 years ago

Medical Republic: 'Fibromyalgia finally gets a genetic fingerprint' 'Additionally, certain risk loci overlapped with long covid (BPTF) and ME/CFS (OLFM4, RABGAP1L/GPR52), two poorly characterised disorders, albeit with different lead variants.' www.medicalrepublic.com.au/fibromyalgia...

Tomorrow (starting 11a eastern), some of the Pit Crew (me, @skybilz.bsky.social, @tietuesday.bsky.social, @sword.zone, @smight.bsky.social) will be doing an Archipelago raising money for our local food banks. Sky and I will be raising money for Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest NC specifically.

‘Death remains my intimate shadow partner. It has been with me since birth, always hovering close by. I understand one day we will finally waltz together into the ether. I hope when that time comes, I die with the satisfaction of a life well-lived, unapologetic, joyful, & full of love.’ —Alice Wong

I am gutted to learn of @sfdirewolf.bsky.social (Alice Wong’s) passing. She was always a warm friend, a wonderful spirit, and someone who fostered my own growth. She helped me see that, as a #disabled person with chronic illness, I matter—I am whole. I’ll be posting some of Alice’s work. ❤️ forever

is it possible that I'm TOO autistic for noise-canceling headphones I can't stand the physical sensation of any of them. on-ear, over-ear, earbuds, anything. 🥲

chronic illness is feeling like you're running harder than everyone else, they don't even realize it's a race, and still somehow you come in last

There's a wider difference gap between "Level 1 autistic" and "nonautistic" than there is between different "levels." And that's why self-knowledge on the topic is so important.

Moving forward with the idea(s) that I feel most confident in being able to execute, starting with a mini-mentary: some history, some making-of. If I were to ask @smight.bsky.social some interview-style questions, what would be YOUR #1 question to ask?

The median age of all U.S. homebuyers is now 59 years old. Just 15 years ago, it was 39 years old.

Fun fact: a picket line crosser can fit in ONE pelicans mouth. If you have 2 picket line crossers, you need a 2nd pelican. 🪶 #NoContractNoCoffee

The strike is not about whether or not you approve of Starbucks coffee. It's about the workers, who like all workers deserve equitable treatment and fair pay. That is the issue. Why bring up your personal feelings about the coffee? Nobody in this conversation cares. Start another thread about it.

"Starbucks coffee sucks" Nobody asked you and nobody cares. Go away

palette vs the painting

the guy is the most obvious evidence you could get re: how crime is not defined by the law but by people with power because of the law

This is not a drill. This time, the WORKERS are asking you to boycott. Do what they say.

Without downloading any new pics, describe your gender.

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

TIL about myself: I may sometimes struggle to keep up with pronoun changes (to be clear, that's on me!) but dang, if someone else is misgendering someone whose pronouns I know, I will be AGGRESSIVE on the corrections

Fangamer is hiring a 🚨 Product Designer 🚨 very rare posting for a very cool job, RT's appreciated~ www.fangamer.com/pages/job-li...

he doesn't know I might be replacing him

The Zohran sign generator and this particular @themountaingoats.bsky.social lyric seemed like a good match.

Arcade Pit 10-year anny is coming up, quicker than you may think! What might you like to see for Pit's 10th bday? History/retrospective? Behind the scenes, making of? Smth else? I would love to work on all these, just curious what the community might be looking for too. @smight.bsky.social

Curious: If you hold your cat's tail and offer the tip to their nose, do they lick their tail tip? Mine always have, but other cats I live with don't. I'm just curious if this is something I unwittingly teach my cats from kittenhood haha

BREAKING: We won! Today the 3rd Circuit Court ordered the @post-gazette.com to restore our contract it illegally tore up 5 years ago. That’s our health care, PTO, right to a 40-hr. work week, short-term disability and so much more we’ve struck for 3+ years. pghguild.com/2025/11/10/p...

I called Sen Fetterman and left an angry voicemail with just enough information to confirm my constituency but no contact info, and also stated directly "do NOT add me to any mail or email lists" which felt good, at least (for all the good it did)

Keep Trying #art

a few months ago I said "having generative AI handle absolutely anything with regards to healthcare is a nightmare and should be banned" and a bunch of people made fun of me and called me stupid. anyways,

You still could. Just saying
