Why continue sleeping when you can wake up convinced there’s something else wrong with you and spend the rest of the night googling signs and symptoms of hypothetical said disease.
Hey brain, please shut up? I’m really tired of finding new things to be anxious about/obsess over.

Does anyone else find that the longer you’re stuck inside for whatever reason the harder it is to get out of the house, especially when you don’t have anywhere in particular to be, no money, and all your friends are far away or working like normal people?
Just me? Greatttttt

Just in case you still don’t get it, a reminder.
It’s the guns. It’s the fucking guns. It’s always been the guns and it will always be the guns. Why aren’t more people outraged? When do babies get to stop dying where they should be the safest?
My heart hurts for so many reasons, friends 💜

We’ve been waiting years for the Epstein list to be released but it’ll never be released because they’re all on it. Yes, even them.
Why are we waiting for those who did the most harm to tell us what we already know?

We all have different reasons for forgetting to breathe.”

Me, lamenting about the general state of things: “Why do they hate us so much?”
Him: “Because we’re f*gs and cripples. They want us dead but we’re not going to let them. We’re not going to let them.”
In maybe related news, call your elected officials and keep calling them.

I must have done something very, very bad in a previous life to be stuck inside this body in this lifetime.
Feeling defeated and weak and fearful but there's a lesson in this somewhere, right?

For my upcoming birthday (June 7), I’m asking for donations to my PayPal, Cash App, or Venmo. I’ve chosen this nonprofit because their mission means a lot to me (😂😂😂) and I hope you’ll consider contributing as a way to celebrate with me.

I ordered groceries for delivery through Walmart today like I do regularly as a disabled person and at least half my items are missing. Yay?
I called Walmart and they’re issuing a refund for the missing items but I’d like this sort of admittedly minor inconvenience to please stop now 🙄

In November 2020 I received a letter from Nelnet saying my student loans were being discharged due to total and permanent disability. It was a huge weight off my shoulders and something I haven’t given much thought to since.

This is your friendly reminder to not comment on another person’s disability or any of their mobility aids, especially a stranger.
You might think you’re being friendly but so often it comes across as infantilizing and patronizing.
Please don’t be that person.

Anybody else place a grocery order/go grocery shopping and want to puke the entire time because the price of literally everything?
Trying to get what I need and carefully build a stock as a disabled person on a very limited income is damn near impossible.

I’m starting physical therapy (again) on the 16th for the first time since before Covid, I think. I have a lot of mixed feelings going into this based on past experiences but trying to shove past the fear and guilt and embarrassment.
