Hi! I made a silly illustration for the speeddraw from last week. Please enjoy! If you're looking for a high res version to print, several Drawfee patreon tiers offer our high res renders for that month and all months prior since we went independent :)

My brain: if you don't start eating at normal times, I will have a breakdown My body: if you attempt to eat an actual meal at any time, I will make you miserable. Me: 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

If you have some coin to spare this month, please check out Rise! As a philanthropy professional, I'm choosy about what to promote, but Rise checks all the boxes and you can rest assured your money is changing lives!

Chronic pain has had me in bed for 2 hours (and counting) and I left my book and my video games in another room, so I may be posting many things in quick succession #SpooniesofBlueSky

I'm a pretty simple woman. Someday, I'd love to have regular meals that aren't determined by chronic nausea. 😬

I over-exerted myself today but still have to work tomorrow: the Bekah Rhea Story

Buy the last squid shirt! It's so good!

Further, if they really want to take down Big Pharma, we'd need to untangle medicine from capitalism, and something tells me these fellas don't want to do that...🤔

have been on the fence about which hotel rewards program to invest in. To this I say: Bonvoy!

I refuse to list my personal accomplishments as a rebuttal to eugenicist claims about autistic or otherwise neurodiverse people. My value as a human being is intrinsic, not earned through my work product, artistic talent, athletic prowess, or reproductive capacity. And so is yours.

I know just using a makeup wipe is bad, but is there a face cleansing wipe or dermatologist accepted method for when I'm in too much pain or fatigue to get to the bathroom for face washing? #ChronicIllnessSky #Skincare

Two sisters chillin in their freshly cleaned enclosure. 💅 (Don't be fooled, this is the calmest they've been all week)

Creating a registry of people with developmental disabilities is one step closer to institutionalization, government-sponsored eugenics, and even genocide. If RFK makes me have to "register" to get my life-saving meds, I will riot until the rampant ableism kills me.

If anyone has any advice re: driving when you have an anxiety disorder (or PTSD or even OCD), I could really use that. Please help.

This month has been very "the universe will make you pay (literally & figuratively) for existing as a disabled person" and wow I wish I could get off of that particular merry go round 🫠

The crime & the criminal:

Someone turn my "days since crying in public" counter back to 0

Lost my temper with the anti-vaxxers on my other social medias this morning ✌🏻

My disabled body does not move at capitalist pace and wow I wish that wasn't such a problem 😬

In the past week, I've been to two concerts, one musical, occupational therapy, and at least two social functions. My body is very unhappy with me for overbooking myself. ✌🏻 Paying for my fun in work-from-bed days this week, probably.

Seriously, I will make this if I can figure out what it should say!

Is there a pin, or perhaps a sticker, for us disabled folks who can't get up on planes or in theatres whenever someone else in the same row does?

What stage of life is it where you give up on looking nice for concerts, knowing you'll just be sweaty by the end of it?

Presented some of my old Disability & Mortality research today and only solidified that I really gotta get my book(s) out into the world. Also continually amazed by the positive reception to my very depressing information. 😂

had to cancel/reschedule my usual pottery time tonight because my brain is all out of sorts. So far out of sorts that even focusing on the clay would be tough.
