How Accessible is Glass Blowing for an Inter-Disabled Couple?
How Accessible is Glass Blowing for an Inter-Disabled Couple? YouTube video by InterdisabledInLove

My Valentines was interesting. Vicki stopped me from breaking my foot, my chair nearly flipped, and she almost smashed our heart. What a day!

Man with a gray beard and a blue T-shirt is being hugged by a woman in a gray top with  long brown hair and heart-shaped sunglasses.  and they are in the sun outside of city buildings  and suburban shrubbery.

Today is Rare Disease Day.

Being "rare" feels like playing life on Hard Mode without a manual. But honestly? The creativity in this community is unmatched. We aren't just surviving. We thriving

To everyone navigating the rare path: I see you, I’m with you, & we’re winning the long game together. πŸ†

Can a Long Distance, Inter-Disabled Relation Really Work?
Can a Long Distance, Inter-Disabled Relation Really Work? YouTube video by InterdisabledInLove

I'm starting a new YouTube channel with my girlfriend chronicling our lives as 2 disabled people navigating a long-distance relationship, a terminal illness, and a host of chronic illnesses.

In a world not made for us, how will we make it work?

Disabled woman put in nursing home against her will says she feels 'betrayed' Lucinda Ritchie, who has full mental capacity, was transferred from a hospital bed despite her refusal.

A 33-year-old disabled woman was physically forced against her will to go to a nursing home this month. Imagine going to the hospital for the flu, but when you get better, instead of being released, cops escort you to a detention facility. That's what happened to her.

I feel the same way about all types of entertainers who have a following and deliberately avoid talking about anything going on in the world. I do understand people need to eat, and you don't want to alienate fans, but it's hard not to see silence as complicitous these days.

I thought this said viral cat update, and I was hoping that you did some sort of viral cat story. Please make that a thing.

Friends, my roof let Winter leak into my house & wreck my PC. After 11 days, it's back from the shop but not fully repaired. If you work for or with a PC company, I'm looking for a PC sponsor. Allow me to continue doing my work for the disability community & I'll sing your praises!

Blessed to spend the holiday weekend with this beautiful woman, we decided to build our love together, literally. Mushy. Ew. Gross. I know. But I'm terminal & we're not promised tomorrow. I'm going to love my life, and the people in it, loudly with every beat I've got left.

1 out of 4 new games I tried on stream tonight were accessible. Man, feels like we're backsliding.

Weirdly, When you execute American citizens, or stick with those who do, we hate you. Who'd of guessed?

ICE executed an unarmed American nurse in one of our largest US cities in front of multiple cameras without a care in the world. Find the footage yourself.

If you are staying silent about this, you are condoning it.

This *scares* me. If you voted for & support this, I fundamentally do not understand you as a human. What were these human beings doing other than existing? As if existing while disabled isn't hard enough.

What *terrifies* me is I suspect you're happy there is one less disabled person in the world.

I wrote this song about the cost of being a disability advocate for 20 years and the toll it takes. This goes out to everyone struggling not to lose yourself while fighting for what you believe in.

I'm super excited! Tonight at midnight, I'm releasing my first song that I could see being on a show or movie. It's a song for everyone fighting for what they believe in.

A woman loudly declaring she is disabled trying to get to her doctors appointment pulled from her car, window broken, seatbelt cut, thrown to the ground and arrested. Are you scared yet? They don't care if we are disabled.

Quarantine Zone: The Last Check by @devolverdigital.com & Brigada Games.

Rebinding: Yes.
Mouse Sensitivity: Capped way too low.
Config: Yes but limited ini file. Most options encrypted.
Hackable: No.

Verdict: Unplayable. Can only turn the camera 20Β° on max sensitivity.

Mouse sensitivity in video games is the bane of my existence. As a curiosity, I've decided to make a thread about my 2026 videogame journey and whether the games are accessible. Join me!

I do the exact opposite. If they drip-release, I cancel until it's fully available.
