Mixed media artistic librarian living silently in a cacaphony of sound. Interests include history ranging from the ancient Americas to ancient Central Asia and horse domestication. I have had T1D since 1984 and am autistic.
It must be nice for them to think medical care and emergency medical care is like having a face lift. You don't get to shape around for care for chronic health conditions unless your rich.

Well, in addition to handwriting skills (and critical thinking), we've pretty much killed the fine arts programs in public schools. So you are not wrong.

That is so awesome, and necessary. Language is so much of who we are. This is pretty cool, too.

My Dad is Native (Tongva-Gabrielino), Spanish, and Finnish. My mother is completely white bread, but my Dad raised me. I have fun confusing people who think I'm going to agree with their white BS and listening to them backpedal when I tell them my ethnicity is hilarious.

Disgusting.

JFC, I'm sorry that happened. I'm not sure if there's any recourse through the disabilities office, but I suspect (as a disabled person, myself) you were targeted and she's noticed your tremor long before today.

This⬆️ Most people who tell me "you seem so healthy" have no idea how much of my day is spent dealing with T1D, CPTSD, pain and mobility, autism going blind, and so forth. They see a mask, not me.

True and there's an added level of misogyny as being referred to as a "pig" is often used towards women especially since we are always targeted with comments about our bodies. He's been known to use it in the past as a way to subdue us as women on the whole.

Gorgeous beastie 🤎

Of course. As a US citizen and having grown up in a family that hunted with regular rifles (and bows), I learned that not everything should be dealt with by weapons. I'm also an early CSA survivor. To me, these guys running around in faux tactical gear act like dipshits who'd run rather than help.

I dont get why anyone there even takes advice from us seriously? Also, these people know damn well the UK is far stricter on weapons than here. They mistakenly believe the UK prohibits all guns and joke about it. They're just puffed up peacocks and hens who can't even use a regular rifle to hunt.

He's very handsome, indeed. Bonus points for his choice in books, too 😀

Thanks, he is pretty magnificent, even when he's Scooby-Doo-ing across the floor 😀

How fun for society members, especially when so much was uncertain.

But how many of us Ricardians can claim a real-life beastie? This pose never fails to make me think of bestiaries.
