Covid still exists and is still disabling and killing people. The powers that be just stopped recording sufficient data. Yes you still need to wear a mask outside your home. #CovidIsAirborne #covid #disability #ableism #longcovid

The revolution will be accessible. I usually won't share an image without alt text. I will mute or block you if you tell me how to post. I don't hide photos for EC, but will tag them #EC.

Allistic people explaining social rules to autistic people like we're the idiots:

At this point, I half-expect the liberals to posthumously cancel Ursula K. LeGuin for depicting them negatively several decades ago in "Omelas." Actually, scratch that half, I FULLY expect them to cancel LeGuin.
Conversion therapy is literal nazi science, and we should also be calling it that. Lovaas' ABA framework was the framework Rekers built on, with Lovaas' help, applying the ableist torture schema to a presumed-queer toddler. LGBT and autistic conversion therapy come from the same nazi source. Lovaas was LITERALLY a card-carrying Nazi, arrested for it. He was in Quisling's political party.

I could and should write a domestic or gothic horror story about just being chronically ill.

@ingrid Americans can barely afford groceries right now and they're surprised we aren't buying new devices unless we absolutely have to? I asked one of my friends to refurbish one of my old laptops and I've had my refurbished Galaxy Note 9 since like 2017.
Just saw some transphobic dickhead joke about having a "they/them krogan" in the next Mass Effect, but dude? A nonbinary krogan finding a place in krogan society would be FASCINATING. krogan on tuchanka live in sex-segregated communities! don't threaten me with a good time/story!
So I have a weird size situation with regards to my legs, feet, and compression socks. I have small feet and wide calves, so I don't fit neatly into size charts. I want to make my own but I can't find a place to actually ORDER medical-grade lycra yarn. Help?
I tried looking up custom order compression socks, but you have to order 120 pairs. I only need like.... five. I can knit them if I could just find the right yarn. My other main option here is to wear one size of compression socks that only compresses my calves, and put on tighter ankle compression socks on top of them.
Sudden creative urge to knit tapestries based on Ivan Seal's art for Everywhere at the End of Time.
Realizing that my Jewish ass on some level conceptualizes my abusive parents as Pharaoh, the metaphor for all oppression and cruelty.
of course most of the Invincible fandom is busy turning Eve into another Skyler White over the abortion and weight gain. Gotta love fandom misogyny. It never fails.
I'm getting close to the point of giving up on most healthcare. There's no treatment for 90% of the problems I have, so why bother subjecting myself to all the gaslighting? #NEISvoid
Learning just now that Hasan Piker is Cenk Uygur's edgy nephew makes this whole red scare around him even more pathetic.
Every Spongebob Frame in Order (on FB) just posted my new image for when I have a breakdown of some kind.
