One of the cruelest tricks society played on creative people was planting the idea that being proud of your work is somehow unseemly and egotistical.
You made a thing! You like it! You SHOULD be proud of it. Brag all you want!

I didn't do TOO bad. I felt out the program and how it works and figured out my flow. I'm going to make some calls every day but I don't think phone banking is for me.
I also found out a friend is voting for the MAGA opposition. I think I won't pursue a friendship further.

This mission is too important to fail. Making the journalism industry more accessible to more journalists and making news more accessible to more people? I can rattle off the statistics:
• 1 in 4 people are disabled.

It is too bad that bluesky is so damn awful, and doesn't have content warnings. When the files get released, people like me are going to be triggered.
You can find me at beige.party under the same name.

A home to friendly weirdos. The Grey Gardens of the Fediverse (but beige). Occasionally graphically cacographic. Definitely probably not a cult (though you'll never be 100% sure). Beige-bless 🙏

Grant knows his stuff and has had his finger on the pulse of games accessibility and the community for years now. Definitely one to reach out to for any accessibility coverage.
I understand budgets are tight, especially this time of year, but once again putting out there that I'm open for freelancing and (hopefully) full-time work! I'm also available to speak on podcasts for end-of-the-year discussions!

It takes ENORMOUS focus, discipline, & self-compassion to build a life worth living when coping w/ chronic pain or complicated health issues every day, every minute. It IS possible & realistic-- but do not let anyone make you feel inferior for struggling w/ it. They have no idea.

Link's perma ban is wrong and should be reversed.
And what illustrates it being EVEN MORE WRONG, are recent suspensions with restoration with much much more egregious offenses in the same line of what Bluesky claims Link was banned over.

So I'm reading Heretical Fishing: A Cozy Guide to Annoying the Cults, Outsmarting the Fish, and Alienating Oneself and he actually mentions 2 characters from 2 of my favorite series.
Which is weird and pretty cool!

I did nothing but talk online, chat on the phone, and snuggle my cats today.
I spent the day taking care of my emotional wellbeing.
It means tomorrow is going to be cracked but that is what coffee is for, innit?

Im still mad we normalized sacrificing old and disabled populations so we could "get back to normal" because theyre 'the weak ones' and 'at risk'.
Remember what society is supposed to DO. Shit is ghoulish to accept without a fight.

🧵 I've never made it a secret that I dislike the holidays. Maybe it's because I never got presents from friends, or included in present exchange because I didn't get to hang out as much, and I couldn't afford gifts.
Maybe it was because I fight an ED that isn't food friendly.

NOW I am on with my mom and it is difficult to talk to someone who won't let you ask any questions and then gets mad when you do, or then accuses you of not caring when you DON'T.
I literally can't say a thing. I am learning to just make mmmm sounds.
