Every Time I feel like I’m making real progress on my health and energy, some thing has to come along. At this level of fatigue it is extremely easy to overwhelm me. Today’s news? I have to make an appointment for my kitty for surgery. Wheeeee

Patreon is raising the percentage it takes from new creators (again), from 8% to 10%, on August 4. People with existing Patreon pages get grandfathered into the old rate. If you're thinking about making a page, best to do it and publish it now.

My Doctor’s office is covered in rainbows and progressive pride flags. It’s kinda awesome, especially as this is the office where they have never used gendered honorifics (sir, ma’am, miss) when checking me in and everyone has pronouns on their lanyards. Including a few who use they/them.

Streaming as part of the Twitch Pride Guild Raid Train today! I'll be playing Ace in Space, starting at 2pm ET, with my official slot being 3-5pmET. twitch.tv/kamianya

A few weeks ago I shared that I lost a friend. It’s time to talk about her. On May 20th, EvaNox was killed in a car accident. I found out 5/28. Eva was an amazing person. This thread is all about her, but will take me time. (I made sure I had permission from the family before posting this) 1/

With everything I’m doing for the move, grieving, and hopefully getting a start on the next Compression Items Mutual Aid event, I am taking a more official streaming hiatus. The exception will be special events, like the Pride Guild raid train and the Disability Pride raid train.

Cw: transphobia, Nazis A reminder from history: Transphobes like to claim that being trans is a new thing. While there are many ways this is demonstrably false, it’s true we’re missing from a lot of the historical/scientific record… Because we were erased from it intentionally. 1/3

Friendly reminder that the soft launch of these authoritarian tactics in contemporary times* happened in 2000s Detroit, Flint, New Orleans, and elsewhere. What Noem is talking about in California's fast tracking what they've been doing for a while. * - see Wilmington, NC 1898 & elsewhere.

“Universities must stop policing the boundaries of Jewish legitimacy and start respecting Jewish agency. Jews are capable of forming their own views about Israel, Palestine and everything else. We don’t need institutions to tell us what we must believe to be authentically Jewish.”

Doing all the things needed to rent a new apartment with almost zero turnaround, but once keys are in hand my stress should drop so very much.

I got long Covid and had an MS relapse since I last moved, so this place I’ve had to try to set up for accessibility after the fact. Now that I’m moving into a new (and bigger) place, what suggestions would y’all have? Especially for mobility and fatigue? #DisabilitySky #DisabledSky

Applied to white cane users too!

It’s pride month. Allies, we need you so much right now. There are so many bills targeting queer people (and especially trans folk), so much information that has been erased from official websites, so much harm done this year with more already in the works. It is *exhausting* to fight alone.

I should finally hear back about apartment on Monday, and kitty has important appointment on Wednesday. I’m starting to get sleep again, as well. Fingers crossed, I might be actually able to be present again once these stresses are dealt with…

We hope you have a Wonderful Thursday! This is our Mutual Aid Thread for June 5th. If you are in need you may post here and I will try to share every need I see, as well as ask our members to do the same. If you have no need, please consider sharing! #mutualaid #helpsky 💸💕

It’s Pride Month, so I’m going to share and explain some of my gender and sexuality identities over the course of the month, as well as some discussion of my journeys with those identities. Overall I identify as queer, and have for a long time, but I have lots of pieces to that!

if you haven't picked up a @flomask.bsky.social, i highly recommend it that mask has kept me - someone who is high risk with lung & heart problems - safe in various environments there is so much more you can do to protect yourself & others but Flo Mask is an excellent step one if you can afford it

I have a friend who is an exvangelical and she put it very succinctly: “We don’t believe anyone else is human. You are not people to us.” Once you understand this CORE BELIEF and put it into context with the fact that these folks are running our country you can understand clearly their motivations.

I don’t expect this to last long, but apparently this weekend going to Twitch exacerbates my grief. Giving myself this weekend to work through it all.

My heart hurts so much right now for multiple reasons.

Requiring disabled people to do more work to access reasonable accommodations is bullshit.

For whoever needs to hear this: Use that cane. Get that rollator or walker. Take the elevator. Use the electric scooter carts in grocery stores. You are ‘disabled enough’ for it. (And yes, I needed to hear this a few years ago. It has made things SO much better for me.) #NEISVoid #DisabledSky

Mask up NOW “A new COVID variant, known as NB.1.8.1, has made landfall in the United States, and it's more transmissible than other variants.” www.huffpost.com/entry/the-mo...

Hi! My name is Stephen (They/Them). I'm a Non-binary, AroAce-spec, Disabled Japanese-Hungarian Graphic Designer and Content Creator from so-called Canada. ✧₊⁺ Let's connect! ⤵

One of the most difficult parts of being disabled or chronically ill is realizing that there really isn’t much help out there. From the medical system to the government to your family and social networks, you’re not going to get much care.

My heart has joined the Thousand, for my friend stopped running today.

I have to apologize to everyone I was going to plan with/help plan for June, my health really did seem to be getting better before it dipped again. I know flares are a reason, and many of y’all understand, but I still feel bad about it. 😓

My kitty is showing her hyperthyroidism again, need to schedule another vet visit. Wheeeeeeee

NOW It's time for the Upload of Part 2 😅 Just like before, these VODs now have Chapters for easier perusing & viewing! ✨ In this stream we fundraised for Miktastic while I realise JUST how much Demo I have left & we yap way too much tbh! 🤭🔮💖 🏷️ #cozy #vod #witch #REKA #RitualofRaven #DC3Creators

This is so fucking vile and also not surprising in any way and if you’re shocked then it’s time you start actively engaging in disability justice cause you’re gonna be double shocked when you learn it’s the tip of the iceberg.
