I truly believe that if people put in their most honest effort, the world could be a beautiful place for everyone! Per realism, I know not everyone DOES and The Loudest Ones DON'T, but there is good within our grasp if we get off our damn high horses and just TRY!

The Northern Lights flexi cubes are some of my favorites! These make an amazing sound as you fiddle with them, and the colors are beautiful! (Also each cube gradient starts & stops in a different place, so you'll get a unique look!)

Unfortunately, I think this is also a big problem with journalism & social news sharing. I don't encounter many people who go beyond "so here's scary stuff." I've been calling journalism of that type Doom Journalism. We have articles of bad shit happening, but show us The Good Fight sometimes, eh?

Y'know, I think, especially with my constant Issues with... Everything™, that a lot of people view me as a cynic. The thing is, the reason I get so upset with things is, genuinely, because I'm an optimist at my core. I *know* X,Y,Z, etc, could be better!

Starting my #MutualAid for April now. I need survival money for bills, medication, and food. I'm in autistic burnout and have had no spoons to cook, so I've been relying a lot on food delivery lately. AKA paying a disability tax. ko-fi.com/crippledcomm...

I feel like even when it's good, nothing happens as I'd planned/expected lately. I also found a lone earring, but not its pair, that I've had since high school today, and I can't find the jewelry box my grandmother gave me when I was a child and this whole move has been double hell.

A fantastic essay by Talia Bhatt about the idea of hijra as a pre-colonial "third sex" in India and the transmisogyny in the original argument and its continued upholding.

The Third Sex
“The Gender Binary” is a misnomer; gender has always been a hierarchy.

2,100 contacts per day
The federal government plans to eliminate services for LGBTQ youth who call 988, the national suicide and crisis hotline, according to a Health and Human Services budget draft leaked last week.

Ah, two months away was definitely enough. But, surprise! I've come back to point out once again when "progressives" and "leftists" forget what "progressive" and "left" mean. You're welcome! 🤗

Wanna know where my *BEST FRIEND* GOT FIRED FROM? The WASHINGTON [STATE] DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH. They're one of the most skilled, attentive EPIDEMIOLOGISTS I know, and got fired by white people with no reason given... right around early 2020.
THEY'RE TAIWANESE.
Do the fucking math, jackass.
Hey, just a quick update from me, someone who lives so north in the US you could poke Canada, and also someone who grew up in Louisiana: some of my fellow Whytes need to SHUT THE ACTUAL FUCK UP EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE INSTEAD OF MAKING A "HAHA SOUTHERNERS" JOKE WHENEVER YOU SEE RACISM ONLINE.

It's time to tear down the whole college system, honestly.

We have better ways to learn. Education can spread in better ways. And we need to go back to on-job training and apprenticeship and learning for virtually every trained job.

The system is irreparably broken.
Saw a post on TikTok about Columbia taking away degrees backfiring, and it made me realize - taking Degrees is way as punishment demonstrates how these institutions believe that their mission is conferring privilege and not providing education.

Hey, remember when I said THIS?

Thanks a lot, Dems, liberals, and anyone who claims to be an ally while y'all drag my neurotype (autism) thru the mud, while ♿ use is mocked by a CONGRESSPERSON (supposedly an "ally" of mine), and none of y'all can find anything to end an insult with besides "-t**d"
I'm not sure how much more I can take of institutions making it CRYSTAL CLEAR that they couldn't give a shit if I live or die

I do expect better from people who claim they want to end ableism. I expect they will take the opportunity to learn. And if they don’t, they aren’t actually allies at all.

When we tell nondisabled people to examine their ableism, *this is the work you refuse to do*, because “it’s not the r word, get over it.”

No, it’s just a constant devaluation of our lives, dignity, and needs, and IT BLEEDS INTO PUBLIC OPINION.

No, I’m not gonna get over it.

I’m not good with the idea that disabled people uncomfortable with the mockery of the act of using a wheelchair are Abbott apologists.

He’s a terrible fucking human being.

But we have seen over and over that when permission is granted (taken) to mock disability, disabled people suffer.
