I'm frustrated I can't escape into creativity. Art is where I can express, feel without consequence. Instead I've doom scrolled the day away, the algorithm so tuned to what is destroying me that there's no reprieve. So I have to go thru + delete so much history, or better, just stay offline.

There's no law or person to target, no way to say, hey, do this and it'll solve it. They have completely hidden what it would take to fix it, which is a death toll to anything already broken. It's infuriating and heartbreaking.

This image is everything about Republicans removing food stamps and how detrimental to human health and dignity it is.

I just made it to tier 2 after two years of health hell, and this food stamp thing is dropping me right back to tier one of survival.
Eat the Rich; there's no other option.

Image of a pyramid divided by horizontal lines. Title reads: the capacity pyramid (invisible illness edition) by chronically meh
Top 5th tier of the pyramid reads: Hope, imagining the future.
4th tier reads: Meaning, creating joy, not masking, living.
3rd tier reads: Functioning, chores, socializing, family time, participating, work.
2nd tier reads: Maintenance, hygiene, appointments, basic care
Base 1st tier reads: Survival, breathing, meds, food, bathroom, existing.

Maybe AI can solve it. It has more will to help the poor than anyone in government. 😞

I've looked; there's no clear path to who actually increases benefits, their metrics, etc. AKA, if the federal minimum wage jumped to $15 an hour, that doesn't mean SSI would match it. They have prevented people from knowing who to ask - to hold accountable - for how they impoverish the disabled.

This stuff makes me want to scream. I was disabled in my 20's, homeless, working hard AF, and scraped past the child's benefit line 1 month while not knowing there were rules to lifelong disability cuz I was taking care of my dying parents instead of myself.

Lol, yet our Congress seems determined to be the literal life support for every ancient wealth holder ever. Like the rickety squeaky gate keeping the poors out of running the country. 🙄 We're so screwed.

I'm in a pissy mood. Food stamps are cancelled, as are the millions of Americans who require them to live. I'm still getting over malnutrition from 2023-24.

Capitalism isn't saving anyone. It's fucking feudalism to corporations out here, and fuck anyone reinforcing inequality for head pats.

Well, they learned the Covid vaccine fights cancer through amplifying immune response. I'm sure they'll be immediately removing it from the market and adding a huge price tag. Thanks antivaxers. 🖕

Republicans are planning on killing off those on food stamps instead of ever preserving our healthcare. I guess it's a hunger strike, or mass starvation - definitely expected when Republicans took both branches and the White House, including demolishing the East Wing. Republicans are a shit show.

Planning next month's budget. Will the poverty disability income I get that doesn't directly go into rent be able to get me essential supplements that combat the nutritional deficiencies gained from a decade on food stamps? Or will it replace my food stamps this month instead?
F Trump + Republicans.

I think calling it "human instinct" doesn't fit. More like sociopathic behavior normalized among hierarchical, classist societies.

My fuck, he's invading Mexico. I gotta stop paying attention to this fucker for my own mental health, but I also want my country to remain if I look away. This administration is pure PTSD.

Curtis Sliwa has hired protection from violent threats against him + wife for not stepping down to "let Cuomo win". Mamdani is under security even longer for daring to fight for the people.
We're seeing what kinda guns, goons + power come w/ Cuomo defending war criminal Netanyahu- Israeli mob vibes.

The NY mayoral race has been revealing. Islamophobia as a culture. Racism to maintain class inequality. The wealthy pitting Jew against Muslim cuz of Israel's war crimes, as if one hate crime negates another. Demands that a nepobaby police commissioner keep power. NY is where the oligarchy plays.

Glass Io (aka Sadie Sins) @sadiesinsbooks.com · 2d

Cuomo's response was appalling. We're dealing with a felon for a president who has a history of SA. I'm so sick of this being normalized, as if it's somehow hard to keep your hands to yourself. Brett Kavanaugh refused + was still rewarded, and now our Supreme Court ignores our Constitution. Enough.

I hope it works out with your new doc!

I saw the VA system thru my bio dad's situation 20 years ago; it was always an uphill battle for anything. Hopefully things have gotten better.

Where I'm landing on my next #quilt idea. Something that involves unique pieces, with a theme, but doesn't have to be super matchy. Not as complex as a "scene", but not just basic shapes in a pattern. Dunno what my subject will be yet, but considering my mushroom fairy houses, maybe that.

Pinterest screenshot of a quilt with mushroom border where each mushroom is part of a tall rectangle, each rectangle sewed together to form the border.

Pinterest screenshot of an applique radish quilt where each radish is sewed onto a unique, tall rectangle, and these rectangles of slightly varying sizes are sewed together into a quilt.

Pinterest screenshot of a bug quilt where applique insects are on squared rectangles which are then sewed onto rectangles of varying sizes and pieces together in different directions to form a blanket.
I'm struggling to call it a quilt because it doesn't actually have any quilting close enough together to take stress off the seams.

Doc checked my shoulder; I'll be good in a week.

I always feel dumb going to a doc after a hypermobility incident. It's never serious, but the thing that sends me is. Yes, I partially dislocated my shoulder + nearly passed out, but it fixed itself so I feel like I'm wasting people's time.

Glass Io (aka Sadie Sins) @sadiesinsbooks.com · 2d

What's even more unfair? I used to do it all. Make food from scratch, do all the health diets, fast during illness, eat organic, do all the work. And it didn't prevent my illness. It didn't make me stronger. It likely helped set off my MCAS cuz most diets f w/ nutrition. It's not worth the hype.

Hurt today. Vision dim around the edges. Shoulder is sore; no position is right.

Can't find my pulsometer. It's basically going to decide if I go to urgent care or wait on my PCP. Because I reached a little too far and my shoulder attempted to dislocate. It feels like an Icarus metaphor. 🙄
