Queer, brown, disabled, and angry. In between bouts of raging about the state of things, I read books and play video games. #DisabledPeopleExist

If you’re a federal worker looking for a good accomplishment to share with Elon, tell him you responded to texts from the mother of your children.

Cool that's cool I don't need to eat or anything it's fine this will be fine

I have a family member who thinks if my current living situation becomes no longer an option, I can go live with them. This family member's household hasn't masked on planes in years. But it's cute they can sleep at night thinking they're so supportive. WEAR A MASK

People vehemently believe that there are safety nets in place if you become disabled. That no matter what, you have all of your needs met. If you believe this, you’re in for a rude awakening if you ever become disabled.

with all the updates about kindle and amazon: a reminder that I and many other self pub authors have books on platforms other than amz! this is a super important topic to me as an indie bookseller, but in most conversations, I've noticed people assume there are no other avenues for self pub authors

@maddow.msnbc.com reading off these poll responses and on the one hand, cool great glad folks are catching up. But on the other hand, couldn't these people have listened to us 3 months ago?!?!???

Buy my book so I can afford a mic and overtake Joe Rogan as the most insufferable bald man on the airwaves. I’ll even take sketchy supplements for y’all too. Books2read.com/thepikeboys

Which is to say, hey! If you feel overwhelmed managing medication/energy/pain/doctors appointments, advocating for your care with doctors, if you're constantly over or underestimulated (just to name a few)... let's chat! For now, message me! Gonna get my ko-fi page up to date when I can.

So, I realized this week that not only am I unable to go back to occupational therapy because of my health, but I...don't want to? I don't want to have to pay for licensing fees and CEUs led by predominantly straight white women. 1/4

Woke up so freaking excited for this update and then learned this about the beloved @supergiantgames.bsky.social. I don't know a whole lot of details, so maybe it's more complicated than I think it is, but... come on.

I realized today that this fight is not my fight. (Thank you @tabithaspeaks.bsky.social.) I have spent almost a decade fighting this fight. I fought this fight to a profession that is still predominantly white (women). We aren't supposed to still be having this fight. 1/3

With that said, recommend me some non-white twitch (or youtube) streamers? The chiller the vibes the better. Bonus points for neurodivergent or chronically ill. Idk who to ask so... #booksky #diversebooksky #diversesky

Twitch was the last place I had not fully diversified. I've been following queer folks and disabled folks but they have largely been white. We're done with that. I'm getting my representation everywhere I can thank you. No offense to the white people I like but....I'm sick of white people.

I have not missed a single night of @maddow.msnbc.com since all of this started. She reports on all of this with tone it deserves and not the sterile "traditional" news anchor voice. She even manages to make me laugh. Thank you, Rachel Maddow. You're a gem.

I managed to listen to about 25 minutes of an audiobook today! While that may not seem like much, it's a pretty big accomplishment given how horrible my sleep has been and how overwhelmed I've felt. Taking back some of my time and energy for myself.

Here’s a dumb joke to end another bad day: What kind of pants do whales wear? Breeches.

There are people who assume those with disabilities are faking. That we’re scamming the system somehow. That it’s “fun” to be disabled. They never seem to consider that most of us are faking being well. We put on a smile and a brave face & push through suffering that most could never comprehend.

Elon Musk and Nancy Mace think they are going to scare me and silence me with a censure. They don’t want opposition as they raid the social safety net. Democrats need to fight harder, not retreat. I’m not backing down folks, I’m from Long Beach.

I'm so proud to be represented by @robertgarcia.bsky.social

THAT'S MY REP 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand. #resist

This is the way.

This is not a good combination of trending topics 😬

No one is immune from disability. It can happen to anyone at anytime, regardless of how 'young and healthy' you are. Stop believing you will be the exception, and start engaging in disability justice. It's far easier to fight for better support and treatment while you still have your health.

Please keep in mind that many of your disabled friends likely need more accommodations now and in the coming days. AND many of your neighbors will BECOME disabled in the coming days. Don’t wait to educate yourself on how to not be useless.

FOR OBVIOUS REASONS, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ARE UP TO DATE ON YOUR VACCINATIONS NOW.

Please.

In other news, starter packs are a beautifully dangerous thing. Oops. Lol
