“Oh, but you can go back to school to reskin, to find something you can do even with LC”

Setting aside “that’s not how LC works”

people who have absolutely no idea, not the first clue, about how debilitating the brain fog is. And saying “oh, it’s okay, you can get SSDI” was *insulting* before, now during Trump II it’s straight up sadistic

It’s really disheartening to see people who admit this regime is doing eugenics fail to understand the ways in which chronically ill, disabled, and immunocompromised people are just absolutely fucked by Long Covid

Yes, we indeed have a serious problem.

Explain to me why “conversion therapy” is banned in 28 countries and ABA is not, when they have the same creator (O. Ivar Lovaas) and utilize similar if not identical principles, techniques, and goals (forced assimilation).

Another thing regarding mutual aid & who your community is, is a lot of disabled people in particular are very isolated. They're in deep poverty & complete abandonment. Literally. So they hop online to have community. Sometimes it's the only community they have & the only way they can get help.

One thing I’ve learned about life is that dreams have a tendency to turn into nightmares. Be careful what you wish for, because reality is stranger than fiction.

If you were who you used to be, you’d do it yourself. You can’t right now. Ask for help. Remember how much you like helping? Let others do that too. It’s okay.

Suddenly a pull, royal fist swiftly caught Between arm and body of sovereign steel.
Old uncertainty ensures freedom shall not reign.
Escape thwarted in plain sight of those who dare not wonder.
How smooth and practiced is this cage
Of a mother’s affection?

A speech in her daughter’s name
Tales of a kingdom’s concern while
The queen guards the princess,
A grown child crowned with ear defenders,
Whose arm writhes as her gaze worms.

Mother and daughter side by side
Adorned in dresses, nine each
Hair carefully pulled in puffs beside
The maturity of braids

🥚 There is zero evidence for the claim that baby boxes save lives and lots of evidence that infant abandonment produces lifelong trauma for everyone and also lots of evidence that financial support of mothers—in amounts far less than the cost of baby boxes— would prevent relinquishment altogether.

What does your future hold? Tragedy, joy, or mysterious trickery?

This is profoundly generous.

Pope Leo XIV has blasted how wealthy people live in a “bubble of comfort and luxury” while the poor suffer. In his first teaching document Thursday, Leo confirms that he is in perfect lockstep with Pope Francis on matters of social injustice.

Désirée is a lovely, sweet person who has faced things after thing after thing. No person should face the indignity of fundraising for their survival. And yet, she does. Please. Give whatever you can. Every plan has fallen through.

🚨URGENT🚨:

If I can get $500 more I can pay my rent today and beat the eviction proceedings!

My 3 day notice expired today!

#MutualAidBoost

I know. You were really excited about all of that work stuff. You had projects to work on and progress to make. And you’re really upset that you can’t right now. Is there maybe someplace other than work you can channel those feelings?

Hey, you said you were out of capacity 15 minutes ago. Turn on the TV and turn off your brain.

Reinstate Link as a gesture of good will

Apologize

Hire a comms person

Hire a team of consultants

Tag in the multiple orgs who backed you

This is not hard

A great way to turn the temp down here as @jay.bsky.team @pfrazee.com and @aaron.bsky.team want would be to stop communicating site policies and practices with individual users or on their timelines and hire a comms person who is a professional communicator to do all the front facing interaction.

'I am depleting my savings...' Do y'all understand the gravity of this? The lengths people have to go to in order to stay in business? In order to continue paying their bills? If the price is too high, move along, find it elsewhere, but don't harass the shop owners to lower their prices.
