If you have issues finding safe spaces among streams for LGBT+ people or those with disabilities may I suggest checking www.peer2peer.live

It's a discoverability tool that streamers can apply for & set a multitude of tags up for easy searching

It's managed by Trans Lifeline so you know it's good!

my toxic trait is I don't believe having a neurodivergent special interest makes you an expert.

that doesn't mean you can't be ND, have a special interest, and become an expert!

My Epstein files related opinion is that I wish we had an electorate/citizenry that would punish the people who were already clearly involved without needing to see the act in front of them or whatever

The way Clericatl describes their journey doesn't feel much different than my own.

I hope better treatment/cures become available for FMS. I was diagnosed in like 04/05. It's been a struggle if I'm honest. I've always felt this was more nervous system related & less everything else. -

On behalf of the Pit Crew's fundraiser for Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest NC, we ended up raising $11,317.45 in total. I'm floored by the generosity of this community. I don't know what to say apart from thank you!

Medical Republic: 'Fibromyalgia finally gets a genetic fingerprint'

'Additionally, certain risk loci overlapped with long covid (BPTF) and ME/CFS (OLFM4, RABGAP1L/GPR52), two poorly characterised disorders, albeit with different lead variants.'

Fibromyalgia finally gets a genetic fingerprint - Medical Republic
A massive global study links the chronic pain condition to 26 genes associated with brain signalling, marking a turning point in understanding its biological roots.

Tomorrow (starting 11a eastern), some of the Pit Crew (me, @skybilz.bsky.social, @tietuesday.bsky.social, @sword.zone, @smight.bsky.social) will be doing an Archipelago raising money for our local food banks. Sky and I will be raising money for Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest NC specifically.

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

is it possible that I'm TOO autistic for noise-canceling headphones
I can't stand the physical sensation of any of them. on-ear, over-ear, earbuds, anything. 🥲

chronic illness is feeling like you're running harder than everyone else, they don't even realize it's a race, and still somehow you come in last

There's a wider difference gap between "Level 1 autistic" and "nonautistic" than there is between different "levels." And that's why self-knowledge on the topic is so important.

Moving forward with the idea(s) that I feel most confident in being able to execute, starting with a mini-mentary: some history, some making-of.

If I were to ask @smight.bsky.social some interview-style questions, what would be YOUR #1 question to ask?
Arcade Pit 10-year anny is coming up, quicker than you may think!

What might you like to see for Pit's 10th bday?

History/retrospective?
Behind the scenes, making of?
Smth else?

I would love to work on all these, just curious what the community might be looking for too.

The median age of all U.S. homebuyers is now 59 years old.

Just 15 years ago, it was 39 years old.

Fun fact: a picket line crosser can fit in ONE pelicans mouth.

If you have 2 picket line crossers, you need a 2nd pelican. 🪶

The strike is not about whether or not you approve of Starbucks coffee. It's about the workers, who like all workers deserve equitable treatment and fair pay. That is the issue. Why bring up your personal feelings about the coffee? Nobody in this conversation cares. Start another thread about it.

"Starbucks coffee sucks"

Nobody asked you and nobody cares. Go away

This is not a drill. This time, the WORKERS are asking you to boycott. Do what they say.
As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.
