terrible. 20 years ago, the internet was full of hobbyist blogs and forums. over time, these have been replaced by paywalled substacks and private discord channels, each a walled garden. google's decision to prioritize AI just makes it less likely people will create free, public info

Posting this chart to show visually how little people on SSI get compared to $15 an hour minimum wage to spread awareness about Supplemental Security Income program. #SSA

So many people think they're nice because they're nice to people they want something from. That isn't nice, that isn't kind. Kindness is not selfish at all. Doing something nice for someone who CAN'T do anything for you, that's true kindness. Trump has made us all a little more cold hearted 😞

Sorry if I've been swinging wildly between these two concepts lately. These times are really trying.

A friendly reminder as it gets warmer: don’t tell people with visible medical devices to “cover up”. We deserve comfort, too. Don’t shame us for the medical devices keeping us alive. #Disabled #Disability #ChronicIllness #NEISVoid #EDS #MCAS #POTS #Gastroparesis #Spoonie #Tubie #FeedingTube

The deadline to pre-order these amazing, convertible bags is fast approaching. Don't hesitate if you've been on the fence or they might not get made!

Wish people could just learn it's OK to not like stuff and simultaneously leave it alone. The internet gave everyone main character syndrome and an unearned perception of importance.

Reminder

You do not know how you will react to being sexually assaulted until it happens to you so stop theory crafting your reaction, please.

Reminder to people outside of streaming that this is the reality of even the top 1% streamers. Only a handful of people online make a living off of it. The vast majority of streamers and youtubers LOSE money (games, assets, visuals...) Remember that. I'm not asking you to support as, but be kind.

I've studied so many concentration camps through history that held vulnerable people in just this kind of crowded squalor. You demonize people, you demand more arrests, this is what you get. It already has its own budget and its own momentum, and is on track to go much further, unless we stop it.

And like if you’re tired of seeing my posts about racism, imagine how exhausted I am from experiencing it :)))))

“I never thought I’d be on a call with a 9-year-old who was begging me for help to get out of a prison-like detention center. It was devastating and surreal.”

Disabled parents are no less suited to be great parents than non-disabled parents. Disabled partners are no less suited to be great partners than non-disabled partners. Disabled employees are no less suited to be great employees than non-disabled employees.

Yeah, you wanna read this. I swear, when we finally get to the bottom turtle, under the elephants holding up the earth, under that turtles feet we will find pillars called racism, eugenics, white supremacy and misogyny. It’s allllllll the way down.

Mooooore patternsssss

“‘You’re canceling on me again?’ We do not want to… We crave the same connection as everyone else… We feel guilty for canceling… We hate being unreliable. As frustrating as it may be for you—it’s one more event our illness has stolen from us.” https://buff.ly/cb8I5q8 #ChronicIllness #Spoonie

Through her founding of the Disability Visibility Project, Alice Wong amplified the lived experiences and stories of people with disabilities. In the wake of her passing last year, her advocacy continues to shape national conversations around accessibility and the rights of disabled people.

I’m crying the power of Classic Autism saves the day 😂🥹

Read a book! Make some art! Write in a journal! Go outside! Do anything ffs but that!

The trans NB employee fired by Chili's for being trans worked at their Rosemont, IL location. For all the furries out there, this is across I-90 from MFF Y'all might want to avoid Chili's & Maggiano's, especially when MFF rolls around later in the year. I'm sure there's better places to eat out at

The "inspiration" I give abled people is to diminish their own problems and those of my friends. Abled people will use me surviving my struggles as a way to say other disabled people don't need accessibility. My existence does not negate anyone else's disability or need for accessibility.

In a really tight spot and hate having to reach out, Sparklers, but I really need some help. My commuter vehicle is broken down. I'm looking at about $4k in repairs and as a single mom...just don't have that lying around. Anything you can spare or share helps greatly. gofund.me/9aeb2f4b8

This is what happens when you don’t read history
