You have to rest in your own desire to create.

But, because I see statements like this turn into a sort of general notion of “it’s bad to want validation or attention or engagement”, and to me, that’s not what this means.

It’s perfectly valid to want people to like and engage with what you create. In a general sense, when you create anything, you do it to share with other human beings. Art, craft, food, anything you create is a way to connect with others through our shared humanity.

And wanting someone to like you fanart or read your fanfic is part of that.

The FDA has upgraded an egg recall issued last month to “Class I,” its highest risk level, as it warns the public that consuming the products could cause “serious adverse health consequences or death.”

The recall of 1,589,577 dozen white-shell eggs and brown cage-free shell eggs was initially issued by Midwest Poultry Services in late July, which warned they might be contaminated with Salmonella Enteritidis.

According to the company, the eggs were produced and distributed from farms in Texas between June 6 and July 3 and have sell-by or best-by dates between July 20 and August 17. The recalled egg cartons have either the code P-1950 or 0840962 and Julian Dates between 157-184.

when i asked whether their autistic classmate's meltdown was dangerous or merely uncomfortable, they said, "i felt like i was in danger!"

yes you should, actually. that's life. upsetting things happen. no one should have to experience any discomfort. but we do. we get stung by bees and sunburns and headaches. we live in bodies in the world.

autistic people are human beings who have the right to exist in society, including during meltdowns. having one class of your entire semester interrupted by a singular meltdown is not anymore of an infringement upon your entitlement to education than having your class interrupted by a fire alarm or cancelled for a snow storm.

one of my peers once experienced a cardiac event 10 minutes into class. it was terrifying. it was desperately upsetting. i was contacted by the school and offered counseling afterward because i happened to be the one who managed the situation until paramedics arrived. no one should have to experience their classmate being hauled off in an ambulance, but it happens. everyone was worried about my classmate first and foremost, and then about me. no one blamed anyone, and certainly when my classmate happily recovered and returned to school, no one thought they should be removed from the program.

These absolute shitposts of illustrations are from actual, published journal articles. This guy Yoav Bashan: scientist, artist, true philanthropist, even has a website where other scientists can use his diagrams for scientific publications, and it’s a fucking gold mine, there’s so much going on in every image.

All the references are there, for example the top one of the chlorella voreing the pink guy was published in: Gonzalez, L.E. and Bashan, Y. 2000. Environmental applications of plant growth-promoting bacteria. Tenth International Conference on Plant Pathogenic Bacteria. 23-27 July 2000. Charlottetown, Canada.

I Myself am nonverbal all the time always. I was born limb different and have needed PT (and sometimes mobility aids) multiple times for it. I have lots of fatigue which makes Me barely able to do school and unable to have a true job. I am very neurodivergent for multiple reasons. I am medium support needs and cannot do most iADLs and some ADLs.

Yet? There is still many more people more disabled than Me. I do not really call Myself "severely disabled" just MSN + nonverbal usually gets it best (I am not really considered severely disabled by a good amount of definitions).
