Someone has filed a complaint with management (me) due to her absentee father (@deamonsinfloors.bsky.social wants to do other things besides lie in bed all day while she dozes next to him and she is offended at his lapse in judgment).

Disability ancestors aren’t gone; they accompany us. In our organizing, in mutual aid, in the awkward joy of surviving another day that wasn’t designed for us. They’re in every access met, every gentle reminder to slow down, every firm refusal to abandon one another.

In disability communities, grief isn’t episodic. It’s cumulative. It layers. It reverberates. We lose people who should’ve had decades more time—because the world is engineered to wear us down. And yet, in that same world, disabled people keep building life with one another anyway.

Alice Wong taught us that disabled people don’t just leave memories behind—they leave infrastructure. Lineages of care. Methods of collectivity, survival. She named the connective tissue that holds our communities together, even across death, even across the losses that come too fast and too often.

Hokay so
Checked out a few books on fermentation from the library and it turns the fuck out that the recipe that came WITH the crock, directly from Ohio Stoneware, called for a 6% brine when the standard is apparently more like 3%.
Mama didn't raise no quitter, tho, so we ride again

Saw an AI slop banner at the farmers market; I hope that vendor goes out of business.

I have nothing to say that more eloquent folks haven't said better, but I am grieving deeply. @sfdirewolf.bsky.social was a North star for justice in this world and, along w/ Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha, taught me how to find hope, joy, power & community in my disabled self rather than despair.
I am gutted to learn of @sfdirewolf.bsky.social (Alice Wong’s) passing. She was always a warm friend, a wonderful spirit, and someone who fostered my own growth. She helped me see that, as a #disabled person with chronic illness, I matter—I am whole. I’ll be posting some of Alice’s work. ❤️ forever

Had a horrible dream that both my sister and one of my longest-running friends died at basically the same time while only being in their 30s 💀 I am the opposite of okay rn

That John Waters quote about only fucking people with book collections is bullshit because I have so many TBR & "in process" piles around this house I'm perpetually in danger of tripping and falling but nobody's making goo-goo eyes at me about it 😩

SwampDad has requested name suggestions for this cat, who just showed up fairly recently. We're almost positive they're either a sibling or child (probably the latter) of another tuxie we called Sylvester who used to hang around, but hasn't been seen in a bit.
Gimme your names!

Probably a good sign for the economy that every company is frantically sending 2-4 sales emails a day titled "You NEED this!", "Don't ruin Thanksgiving by leaving this behind!", & so on, huh? They're *definitely* thriving & aren't desperate beyond measure bc everyone's too broke to shop.

Hey y'all, can anyone help me find the thread where OP talks abt their...parents? In-laws? trying to forbid them to drive home in snow even though they're adults, bc the parents/in-laws clearly view them as children/not equals & thus their possession/an extension of themselves? I am STRUGGLING.

CRISIS: apparently Tigger does not like to share with other cats despite it being cold and plenty spacious for two 😭 SwampDad reported they both fled the lil house after they fought and refused to go back the rest of the night, so now I think he needs to build a cat apartment building. Poor tuxie.

Amateurs; I can feel my dead mother's presence with every cardinal that pauses outside my window bc I had the foresight to ask her on her deathbed to send me cardinals & made sure she passed with a cardinal figurine in her hand so she didn't forget, and all I pay for is birdseed. Skill issue tbh.

I never got into Chomsky bc honestly the worst dudes were so pretentiously into him that it put me off, like I have one of his books bc a dude I went on a date with was SO aggro about it that I bought one and never read it, and boy howdy, my Bad Vibes meter nails it again!!!
