I hate to ask for help like this, especially as my first post, but I'm at risk of losing housing if I can't get the money by the 25th (roommate has me paying a week in advance). If you're able to, anything helps.

Happy Monday reminder! #Disability

Disability Belongs™ @disabilitybelongs.bsky.social · 21d

At Disability Belongs™, we know that disability is not a bad word or something to be afraid of. That’s why we put it in our name! We recommend avoiding euphemisms like “special needs” or “differently abled” and confidently embracing the word “disability.” #Disabilities #Disability #Disabled

It’s officially fall which means it’s time to get cozy and roast some marshmallows at an open fire!

How do you like your marshmallow? Toasty? Charred?

🧶 #crochet #amigurumi #marshmallows

A stack of crochet marshmallows on a table with crochet sticks in the foreground. The marshmallows are varied with one that is burned black, one is kinda toasted on the corner with a flame. The rest are plain white. There is a potted plant next to them in the background. Pattern is by littlebabyrorycrafts

A bunch of crochet marshmallows are posed in front of some potted plants. They are varied in poses and colors. Some are placed on crocheted sticks in both the foreground and background

A close up of the three marshmallows in the background of the previous picture. The center one is plain white with a smile. The left one is charred black with an annoyed face. The right one is slightly toasted on the top with a flame attached.

Hey all! I will be volunteering to help Pride in the Pride (Salem, Oregon) run smoothly this year. I will also be selling my homemade bracelets at the Crafty Coyotes’ booth. Go check out their other queers’ homemade goods and grab some delicious mochi cakes from Mochi Mayhem! Hope you can attend!🩷🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

A 3-tier brown, wooden, rotating bracelet display stand with various homemade bracelets made from crystals, lava stone, and wooden beads. Blackboard signage that sits on the top of the display stand reads “BRACELETS FOR ALL” with the trans colors in the upper left corner, nonbinary colors in the lower left corner, and rainbow Pride colors in the lower right corner. The photo’s background is blurred.

(Azure:) I hear people are leaving Bluesky for Mastodon! May I suggest NOT joining mastodon.social? It's badly moderated.

If you're a trans maker, coder, or tinkerer: cathode.church

If not: see the replies on this post blob.love/@nora/115188... for more suggestions!

HEY SHITPOSTERS: what servers should I tell the bluesky trans shitposters to apply for? They are all mad and I think we should steal them. I'm just going to link this post over there.

I really appreciate that the trend is “art at the beginning of COVID vs. now” instead of “after COVID” as I have seen done in the past in other socmed. COVID still hasn’t passed! You all please still take care of your health 🙏🏻💕

Cozy critters - Opossum 🍂

I'm so excited to post this cute opossum at last! 🥰 It's part of a collection of critters made by Cottage and Co Crochet and couldn't be more happy with the end result. Absolutely adorable and easy to make!

Can't wait to test for them again in the future ☺️💕 #amigurumi

Crocheted oposum with brown overalls. The overalls have decorative wood bottons. It's leaning against a wall, for a more cozy effect. The oposum it's white, black, gray and pink and has safety eyes on.

I could get out and about more, maybe go to the library or a coffee shop or something... the ticket book is 35 (3.50 per ticket with a min of 10 tickets per booklet) and shipping to my apt thru USPS is approx 2, I believe. so I'd need 37-40 ish to afford it. thanks y'all ♥️

I have OHP now as of last month, but I don't quite have the funds rn for getting the ADA ticketed rides to non medical appts. I'm disabled and can't drive, and I'm agoraphobic and homebound, so I think if I had some Ridesource tickets -

Sharing my service dog fundraiser again: givebutter.com/nhEnw1

She's doing incredibly well! It is always enjoyable to get texts about what she's working on and extra fun when I get to have her visit me to work on her getting to know me. I'm really looking forward to having a dog to help out!
