There are more disabled people who are pretending to be healthy so that you don’t judge us or think us incapable than there are healthy people pretending to be disabled. If you find yourself questioning whether someone is really disabled, you’re doing the work of the oppressor. #disability

It’s been six years since the first reported case of SARSCov2.
It’s never too late to wear a mask.
It’s never too late to clean the air.
Every infection avoided or delayed is a win for long term health.
We can drastically reduce transmission if everyone does their part.

A good reminder for myself and others with ADHD: when you are struggling with it, the first step is ALWAYS forgiving yourself.
So much of why we get trapped and find ourselves unable to act or change is that we get trapped in our shame and guilt spirals...

I still wear a mask when I go out to public places. To me, the cost of wearing a mask is the cost of the mask, but the cost of not wearing the mask is potentially my health. It has not been my understanding that covid stopped, went away or evolved towards a diminished long-term impact, so I mask.

Ruby and Rails is pretty satisfying. First time using it for a real project and… it just works? There is something to this optimizing for programmer ergonomics.

Good quote from the article
'All of this immunity stuff is very complex, but the response is relatively simple. Masking, paid sick leave, improved ventilation and keeping up to date on vaccines, including the COVID boosters, are all really effective at keeping multiple respiratory illnesses at bay'

Disabled people are not scamming the system.
We're not the reason for high taxes or economic hardship.
We're a scapegoat. A distraction so you don’t focus on the billionaires and corporations benefitting from huge tax cuts.
It’s exceedingly hard to qualify for disability benefits.

Executive function isn’t about skill or will.
It’s about the state of your nervous system.
If I’m dysregulated, no amount of lists or timers will help.
If I’m supported, I can do the thing.
