If you ever wanna talk to someone about it, my DMs are open. I'm Demi-Aro and fully Ace... And I have OCD. So I'll at least understand where you're coming from.

Double knit? They're gorgeous.

I'd send you my snow but there's nothing but rain at my place

4 - I wonder how many disabled people are on their board and work for the organization. Like a majority disability run group might ask but know to back off. But a group with not many disabled people on staff might just be full on "saviour" and not actually aiming for disability justice of employment

trying to support disability employment should absolutely not even think of arguing with your no as it goes against their mission.

2 - It absolutely feels weird that they asked at all given their mission.

3 - If they are a bigger organization, then they probably shouldn't have asked. (+)

So I've got multiple thoughts.

1 - Disability organizations are often functioning with budgets way too small. So I fully understand them asking for discounts. That said, they should be respecting your "no" without any issue. You're allowed to say "no" regardless of who orders. But a group (+)

That's my favorite part of working an hour away from my home. My school district gets snow way worse than my home. So school will delay or cancel long before my home needs the delay or cancel. I never have to worry about getting to my classroom because of it.

is not one we need to track or worry about in your treatment plan. But your lungs are giving you moments where you can't lay down, that is enough to tell me you need treatment."

It's been two hours and I can't stop shaking.

When I'm calm, I'll apologize to my mom for blowing up at her this morning. But I'm so done with egg shells around my aunt. I can't anymore.

My mom's trauma response is "do anything to keep the peace" so this morning she asked me to apologize for disrupting Thanksgiving dinner. 25 years of walking on eggshells around my Aunt has apparently ended because I blew up at my mom. I will not apologize. And I will not enable my aunt anymore.

Yours could absolutely look nicer than mine did.

I used whatever the thickest wire I had was. It worked pretty well but quickly looked grungy and gross. Saving up for pretty ones that last longer is still something I am happy I did. But yeah I made my own and just just the thickest wire I had available.

praxis requires faith. (I'm also saying this as a Jew with faith in the divine.) My praxis and actions are not based on my faith. They're based on the doctrine and teachings from my Rabbi and my discussions with my community members. My faith has little to do with it.

See, I would argue yes and no. Doctrine and faith are not interchangable terms. Doctrine is a set of agreed upon beliefs, and Judaism has that and it's a huge part of our practice. But faith? Faith is actively connecting those beliefs to trust in the divine. And I don't see any reason why (+)

I did mashed potatoes for breakfast :)

It's a good two hours later and I'm still actively shaking.

To clarify why this is such a big deal. My aunt is an abusive bully. Many people in my family are afraid of her so they just let her get away with her bull shit. I'm tired of the constant enabling. So when my aunt went after my sis-in-law, I put my foot down and backed up my SIL.

That's an amazing answer
