Thanks for reminding me why I stopped following you.

Your covid takes enable harm on disabled people like myself.

Thanks x3!

Thank you! I do have a pretty great golden milk recipe.
Maybe I can talk my husband into making some for me ☺️

Back still out.
Watching Outlander.
Drank my matcha.

At least I can walk around without my walker today. We celebrate small wins in this house 🥳.

One of the silent pain points of the moment is that so few people are who they think they are.

They do this every single time they upload an image. Every time.

Nobody ever addresses it, either.

"Image 1" is not accurate alt text. Writing bad alt turns an accessibility tool into a burden. Please stop.

Very double-plus uncool!
I was shook!

Your rights end where other people's rights begin.

I caught one of my best friends sneaking out of my house without a mask last weekend during an outdoor hangout.

She knows masks are required indoors. She knows getting covid could literally kill me b/c I'm high risk.
What the fuck do I do w/ that?

The worst is organizations that think it's more inclusive & liberatory to "respect everyone's personal choice" about masking than to NOT tell the Disabled that we're unwanted & unwelcome by not requiring them.
They wouldn't respect my choice to light up a cigar because it's harmful to others. 🤨

You never know what someone is going through.

Like, I am disabled and my back is out, my country is descending into violent authoritarianism, and you're replying to some reply I made about anime TWO MONTHS ago.

I do not care about Avatar right now.

If you learn to notice when people are trying to politely disengage, then you won't be so upset next time someone disengages more abruptly.

Aw, they stopped?

I haven't been to SF in over a decade b/c the city I visited was so different from the city I lived in as a child 30ish years ago. Honestly, it kinda broke my heart.

Now we are in a situation where the only political language that we have for opposition runs toward repression, where our leaders are talking about us the way that our leaders talked about people in distant lands.

We are here because we did not fix the violence in our hearts.

You've all heard of the Boston Tea Party. Well, now it's time to get ready for the biggest sequel of our lives:

Tariffs have rapidly increased the price of coffee—a drink with almost no nutritional value and lots of functional substitutes. Yet coffee may also be the one thing Americans can’t live without, @elcush.bsky.social writes:

The Drink That Americans Won’t Give Up Without a Fight

Coffee has almost no nutritional value and lots of substitutes. It’s also, apparently, too important to lose.

I am not a "consumer," I'm a person, and I'm done with this conversation.
You will not change my mind on this.

Have a nice day.
