love that all i have to type in my search bar is like "ada effective communi..." and my browser is like OH YES THAT PAGE YOU HAVE TO GO TO OVER AND OVER to link people to in order to yell about equal access
RIGHT omg
btw here is your irregularly scheduled complaint from e* that drs are allowed to just “not accept” medicare and somehow that’s not seen as disability/age discrimination
i mean i’ll self describe in some contexts as saying i have spmi - but i just saw the phrase “the smi” and feel a little ill. i tend to dislike that kind of phrasing - the poor, the disabled, etc. idk it feels like othering language not at all like ifl
I hope you have a nice night.
I hope you look at the stars with wonder.
I hope you're never lost in the catacombs without a lantern.
I hope you're always able to find room for one more book on your bookshelves.
I hope you feel at home in the forest, because you're always welcome there.

aww hi! how’s your morning?
oh. oh, i see. i’ve hit inertia o’clock. alas. there will be no bedtime for me.
oh no i appear to be in "have a presentation much much later in the day and so obviously can't get anything else done in the meantime" mode
it's that last few days of the month before my abilify shot... yay for little sleep + bonus productivity? i guess?
...now, 10 years later, there are over a dozen studies contradicting the “social contagion/rapid onset gender dysphoria” hypothesis – I link to all of them in this recent essay (no paywall):

Gov. Pritzker's letter to Donald Trump demanding a refund on tariffs.
Cut the check, Donald Trump.
Do you live in Wyoming and/or know someone who does, who wants to distribute whistles? Put them somewhere in their store? Hand them out?

dhs worker: "hi, this is a voicemail for endever, about your benefits recertification paperwork[***]. i'll try calling again or you can call your local office at..."
heavy emphasis on [***]=the unspoken "on which you clearly indicated in multiple places NOT TO CALL YOU"
...every. god. damn. time.
i mean, 32 years of wearing them - from alarm to tucking in - virtually every single day. that’s 11000 something days, the large print calculator informs me. this is Decidedly an Aberration.
wowowow i broke my glasses during a fall a couple days ago and NEVER HAVE I BEEN SO AWARE of them (not) existing.
i can’t get basically anything online done hunched over squinting at my phone all day. i keep thinking its bedtime. i can’t go for walks. constant “im forgetting… something…”
fuck
Have you considered making bad Art?
It's literally better than making nothing and crying about it.
No AI needed. There's all kinds of mediums. If you don't click with any of them make a new one up cuz that also is Art.
happy black history month! make sure you celebrate and appreciate not just this month but all year long
Just because good news is worth celebrating:
There is now a Prep medication that is an *every six month* injection.
HIV has, effectively, a vaccination.
34 years ago, I was a child taking part in a peaceful protest march very much like this one. This is when I first witnessed protesters being shot at, teenagers falling down among the crowd. Reading about this event brought a strong sense of Deja-vu. A tragedy unfolding before our eyes, once again.
Can we just have like 24 hours where nothing happens anywhere

"Attempting to wholesale deny the authenticity of a form of communication, regardless of the evidence available with respect to a specific individual, and then assert that unrelated interventions are “alternatives,” is unjust and logically inconsistent."

hell yeah my previous year's dsp allowance was only 11 hours/week, this time approved for 19! wow
A lot of people have been generous with me lately - maybe you can be generous to these fundraisers for victims of ICE, especially those at the very bottom. Start there please. Links are in the thread.
