I’m slow to do things right now, focused on myself now more than ever. We’ve been rushed to commercial success without nurturing our sense of self, without really understanding our self-expressive skills.

I’m struggling to articulate my message, so I’m crafting new tools for my methods.

a lot of it is residual wounds from previous employer abuse. It sucks to have to work through it. But it's the only way forward.

I def make sure to prioritize taking care of myself. But I see work as part of that... I won't work myself to death, but I need work to pay for what I need to live. :(

OR they see a small site and creator has low numbers so they lowball them in their offer/budget.

*please

COME TO ME AND GIVE ME YOUR LOVE

Even when I DO disclose my chronic health issues OR LITERALLY GO TO THE ER FOR A FUCKING ISCHEMIC TRANSIENT ATTACK, NEED TWO WEEKS TO FEEL THE RIGHT HALF OF MY BODY, AND SEEK NEUROLOGICAL EVALUATION niggas are shocked. APPALLED, even.

bruh. what the ACTUAL fuck.

It’s INCREDIBLY ableist and abusive to blame the disabled employee for not speaking up sooner. Like?? How?? It’s not like we were dishonest. It’s our right to choose when to disclose our disability on necessity BECAUSE people see us as a liability/broken/etc.

It doesn’t matter who you are.
