🍉 Blue|22|They/Them 🍉

There are 760,000 Australians on the National Disability Insurance Scheme, the system that - if they feel like it and your personalised plan says you get to have it - provides funding for everything from personal hygiene care to support workers to therapies to assistive technology. It's already very hard for disabled people to get on the NDIS, regardless of your disability. It's near impossible to access most support and equipment without being on the NDIS. And the government has announced that they want that number to drop to 600,000 in four years. 160,000 of us cut off the Scheme - and countless more denied access. This will cause deaths. People will die and people will suffer because there is no safety net. The NDIS is the only option for most of us. Even private health insurance doesn't cover most of these things. Nobody will swoop in to save us.

The bill wants to give the (non disabled!) NDIS minister basically unlimited power to cut our funding. They're already planning what they'd do with that power. What rights they'll strip from us. What dignity and freedom they'll remove to make their budget look better.

The bill wants to force people to try every treatment out there before they're allowed to be on the NDIS. Including if the treatment is literally impossible to access. There’s a lot of us living in regional areas or out bush who can't just pop to the capital cities for specialists. This will especially hurt disabled First Nations people in regional and remote communities, who already experience limited access to healthcare. Oh, and it includes chemical restraint, too. The government has directly refused to exclude chemical restraint from the required process, calling it "trialling medication".

If you're australian and worried, the ABC did a good breakdown of the proposed changes.

I know australia stuff doesn't really pop up on the radar on this site, but I want everyone to know what's going on. What we're fighting for here. Your australian disabled friends might be NDIS participants fearing for their life, rights, and freedom. They might not be a participant and afraid these changes mean they never will have access. We deserve better. The government built a system with no backup plan, and now they want hundreds of thousands of disabled people to pay the price for their bad planning.

article: “I suspect that a bit of the steam has gone out of the LGBT thing,” Backman told the right-wing outlet, staying ahead of the issue. “There may be the odd protester, but if they have got armies of PR people laser-focused on that then I suspect it may be OK.”

me: no surprises there... fuck them

There is an ongoing poll on Rednote. Find the link here. Choose the last option, which means "if Valko doesn't come back, I'll quit." We're winning by a long shot!

For reference, the options are as follows: 1. If Valko is involved, I will quit the game 2. If Valko is available, I will come back to the game 3. It doesn't matter if Valko is there or not 4. If Valko doesn't come back, I'll go back to the game 5. If Valko doesn't come back, I'll quit the game

Well, unfortunately (fortunately?) I don't have much to share as of right now. It's officially 7/8/2026 in China, but no update from Infold yet. With BW on the 10th and the 6.0 version update scheduled for the 9th, I want to assume that they'll HAVE to say something soon.

The goal right now is just to KEEP POSTING. Spam the ever-loving fuck out of Infold. I'm on X non-stop just reposting and replying to other supporters. Hopefully I will have some actual news for you later.

In the meantime, I'd love to hear some of your theories about his myths! What do you think his past relationship to MC is? Or what would you like to see in his myths?

Also! Feel free to send me a DM or a message to my inbox if you'd like to talk, or if you'd like me to look into anything specific. I'm at your disposal 🫡

Important!

DO NOT interact with CN players on RedNote or Weibo. They are trying to use sinophobia as a new tactic. If you post on either site, do so respectfully and kindly. Do not respond to hateful comments.

Antis have apparently made their way to Tumblr. DO NOT INTERACT. Remain respectful and peaceful.

If you are not currently boycotting, remember that July 9th is Blackout Day. If nothing else, DO NOT LOG IN on July 9th.

CN players' protest is different than ours. They need to raise the rating in their app stores, and we need to continue to lower ours. Both sides need to emphasize that LADS helps international players appreciate Chinese culture.

Remember!

DO NOT LOG IN! We're still trying to affect their DAU metric.

Not sure when to expect a statement from Infold. They'll be inactive on the 7th, and Bilibili World starts on July 10th and ends on the 12th. LADS will be participating in it. We may not hear anything concrete until the 13th. Fingers crossed for the 8th.

Keep fighting! Antis worked for seven days to get Valko's release cancelled. We have to continue to make noise in order to be louder than them. Many companies will wait out protests for a few days to see if they fizzle out.

Don't lose hope! We're making a HUGE impact!

Please remember that this boycott is not just about Valko. The CN fans deserve an apology for the 731 incident, global fans deserve recognition, we need more MC customization options for darker skin tones—there are a lot of issues involved.

Take care of yourselves. Take breaks, eat, drink water, and get plenty of rest. We're in this together <3

"Oh I don't normally use AI, I just wanted it to plan my trip"

You lived on this planet for decades, you know what you like, there are hundreds of websites where you can type into any search engine " things to do in [area]" and have at least a hundred different options.

"Oh I only use it so I can figure out what to make during the week with what I have"

The most popular website as you type in "recipes" into google have sections where you click dinner- quick and easy and those usually rely on staples + 1 or 2 items. I found 30 recipes on chicken alone.
