The good thing about the "pregnancy pillows" is that there are a lot of dupes, so you might find one for a reasonable price.

Nvm, they're so friggin expensive. If I was an influencer, I would court the pillow people.

I keep staring longingly at those modular pillows for hypermobile people. I am so fussy about pillows, but I am also so tempted because sleeping is pretzel time for me 🫠

i saw this trans theorist post the most awful anti-autistic words on instagram. i hope she knows that the overlap between autistic identity and trans identity is really extensive. so any commitment to trans liberation entails a commitment to autistic liberation. therefore, her theory is worthless.

Disability accommodations are a rare thing that actually trickles down. You like curb cutouts? Auto-opening doors? Jar openers? Ramps? Hand rails? YOU’RE WELCOME

Even as an abled person you use disability accommodations every single day.

Supporting accommodations actually helps everyone.

Pic of Abood holding a sign that says: I'm Abood from Gaza save my life. He has a cap with a flag of Palestine on, a black shirt and is looking down. He looks tired. Hammam keeps telling me he's tired too. They're all tired.

The history of prosthetics is honestly really fascinating. There were some really functional ones in the 1800s (could articulate the joints, open/close, muscle controlled with springs), and they sort of disappeared for a while only to reappear in modern incarnations.

Not a shock to anyone I know on here, I suspect, but yet more evidence of transphobia and neuronormativity being very happy bedfellows...

Scratch a TERF, scratch a public figure "concerned" about diagnosis rates... and a hundred other ugly, baseless bigotries come crawling to the surface

Katie does not discriminate. She was ready to throw down with a literal puppy and a doberman at the vet yesterday.

🚨 Imagine being 11 years old and waking up every day in pain that never stops. That’s Odai’s reality. Doctors say he urgently needs surgery before it’s too late. Every day we wait, he risks losing his chance to walk again. Time is running out. Please help with even $5 or share.

My partner enjoys spicy food while I am a lightweight, but I was eating Mardi Gras Mustard (aka honey mustard with horseradish) and nearly killed her when I offered her a taste.
The Northern European in me with slather that shit on anything and plop it into any sauce. My poor partner was not a fan.

I have the 2026 edition of the university's literary magazine all formatted apart from contributor biographies and the cover (student is making it), so now, I'm taking bets as to whether or not the university drags its ass paying for the print run.
It doesn't even cost that much 🫠

My heart breaks every moment I see my child Ahmed in pain and crying, and I cannot help him. The illness is exhausting him, and we cannot afford his treatment. We need Β£110 to complete his medicine. Please help; even a small donation could save his life. πŸ˜­πŸ’”πŸ™

I really don't understand people lying in order to self-aggrandize. Like, I get why they think it works. On a personal/moral(?) level, I don't.
It just... feels icky to me. Then again, DO NOT BRAG was beaten into me from a young age to the point of me minimizing.

To be clear, so I don't add to your panic: Finn was 18 when he died. No back injury or anything, just old age and bad hips

Eyeing Voting Rights, Liberals Aim to Secure Wisconsin’s Supreme Court through 2030 - Bolts After flipping the court in 2023, Wisconsin liberals now hope to expand their majority on a body that could be a critical backstop for voting rights during the next presidential election.

NEW: Believe it or not, it’s that time of year: the Wisconsin Supreme Court election is next month.

Liberals have a huge opportunity: if they win, they can lock down the majority of this court thru 2030.

That means they’d have it in the next presidential race, a big democracy guardrail.

I had to hold Finn up outside at the end. Bending over and holding up a 20+ lb short dog is a back killer 🫠
Glad to see she's doing well!
