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

Maybe a patreon or something if I ever really start to figure things out? But we're starting real small. I just want to support my community.

Never mind the fact that people tried nicer and it also didn't work. I tried nicer and it got me, you guessed it, nowhere.

So I'm leaning towards doing some form of "life coaching" I guess? Guided by my OT education and lived experiences as an #AuDHD #ChronicallyIll #Disabled #Queer brown person.
Because I'd rather help my peers than be abused by the medical system from both sides of the curtain.

I don't want to work in a field where I have to remind colleagues and employers every day that the principles we (poorly) apply to our clients should also be applied to disabled peers and professionals.

Only to have to hunt for a job that maybe hopefully I'll be able to physically manage, and cross my fingers and hope they'll respect my accommodation needs.

Having dedicated work space is good!! But making it also reading space might be rough?
I've had a really hard time reading more bc my dedicated space became my "manage health and home care" space. I'm only just now figuring that out and trying to create a new reading space. 🤞🏽

I need to start taking the step to ask my doctors to mask. I've let them be comfortable at my expense for too long.

Sometimes I think I've played enough animal crossing and then I see pictures like this and discover an item I have never seen before that I NEED.
Is this moon seat thing crafted or bought? Lol

I've put ~600 hours into both Hades games & watched dozens of hours of content about them. I've never supported a game or a studio more.
I've cried over the representation in your games & the VAs unbelievable performances have given me the chills.
Please sign the interim agreement. Please.

😭 thank you! I did! She made it back into the rotation recently, I think her music was in the background of a TV show or something enough times that my brain went "waaait a second" lol

Not to get way too personal with someone I've never met on the internet, but........an abusive friend manipulated my taste in music and 10 years later I'm finally trying to remember what I used to listen to before that and it's been REALLY hard.
Thank you for helping me remember.

So I'm gonna rest.
I'm gonna go back to all my doctors and force them to give me better care.
And I'm gonna keep supporting and learning from black and indigenous people.
I'm done fighting for now.

Hell, I realized today that as a queer and disabled brown person, the stuff people are protesting for right now is stuff I don't even get to benefit from anyway.
I'm not going to damage my health further fighting for people who don't care if I die and rights and resources I'll never have.

Thank you!! Looking primarily for streamers but I'm definitely also open to essayists if you've got any recommendations!

What if I also have the brand of autism where I memorize the precise spot to step over so I never have to move it ever and just have new furniture?

100% following you for this joke as I lay here also at the end of a bad day.

Let’s also stop saying things like “so and so is disabled and THEY can do this, so why can’t you?”
We are all different. Just because you know someone who has more function doesn’t make it true for everyone.
Supporting us means believing that we know our limits & are the experts in our bodies

If you want to help and support Disabled kids whose right to access an appropriate and quality education is being attacked, you also have to decide that it's not okay to use language that means that "being less smart" is an effective insult.
You have to decide you value those people.

It's rare for folks doing local community organizing to ask who's not there and why they're not there.
The assumption is "the people who care and who we should care about are here".

People doing community organizing often assume "someone else" is taking care of the Disabled people. Or that the Disabled people will reach out when they need help.
But they rarely actually bother to ask and to maintain a presence.

And chronically ill people look at the stuff talking up local community organizing and more or less know we're not included in that and no one is coming to save us.
Partly because no one knows we're here. We get forgotten as we are abandoned. When we're thought of, people assume we must be fine.
