just let me sleep

Having an outlet is good for the brain for sure, it's amazing what difference good care can make. I love your background and its speckles in particular, good work!

I haven't had nearly as horrible an experience as you but I've seen a good few shitty doctors. And it's like, if you see enough specialists, you are bound to run into incompetent assholes, it's just statistics, but abled people refuse to believe that just happens. They see so few doctors, they think it's an acceptable risk without realising everyone can get disabled. And that any percentage bad carers is unacceptable, you can't just dismiss if when you've never seen it happen first hand. It's really noticeable how defensive people get when you point that out.

I’m probably not the BEST person to talk about this but as a cane user I am here to talk, I can also help with specific good ones / the one I use (which isn’t great but is cheap), I don’t know a ton but I can let you know what I know if you want <3

One bit of advise: the right length REALLY matters. And can depend on which shoes you are wearing. Adjustable canes can be terrible for not having just the right setting but can give you an idea of what you need. There's cheap solid wood canes out there that can easily be cut to the perfect size, won't rattle, are more sturdy and absorb shocks better. Don't just settle for the cheapest adjustable cane forever, if it doesn't feel right for you, it's harder to get used to.

this is drawn out of hatred because of a bad video I saw I'm sorry.

WHY WRITE AND MAKE FLAWED AND PERSONAL CHARACTERS WHEN YOU CAN JUST MAKE STUFF THAT IS CORPORATE FRIENDLY AND WON'T MAKE CISHET (MEN) PEOPLE UNCOMFORTABLE.

canes are great! you should definitely get one! i was unsure wether i should get one or not but when i did it was so nice being able to walk further without pain

I’ll definitely give it a try… but may be a bit. Still struggling just to get myself to wear my knee brace consistently.

It can be so hard to allow yourself the help you need, especially seeing the environment you grew up in. Still, you would encourage a friend to use their aids, wouldn't you? And every time you manage to wear your brace is a win still. It really takes time but you are on the right path.

and no im not blaming queer people for our own lack of representation, or when "representation" exists only to mock us and shame us. I am however saying: stop attacking queer creators for making queer characters who are nuanced and complicated and even ugly or cruel. theyre not reflecting you, their character isnt you. its just their character

I admire how sure your brush strokes are, I struggle to paint without sketching it out first but the way you practice leaves space for the stems to be a bit wobbly (like they are in real life too). I might have to pick up paint more often, it's inspiring.

Haha thank you! And that’s funny what you say – I have absolutely no luck with sketching things out and always admire artists who do

Isn't that how art works in a nutshell, we admire what we want to learn and forget what comes easier.

posted this late but bumping chapter 2 so ppl can read!!!! I'm excited

morning bump!!! paws Crossed chapter 2 has finally released

I went to a library book sale this weekend and I found a very old book called “Electronic Life: How to Think About Computers,” which was published in I think 1975? I’ve been reading it kind of like how I would read a historical document, and it’s lowkey fascinating

There’s a whole paragraph that’s like “okay, find the keyboard. Don’t panic if it has more keys than a typewriter, that’s normal. Really, it’s fine. The extra keys don’t make things harder. It’s FINE”

Somebody in 1975 had a better understanding of why artificial intelligence is not in any way “intelligence” than the majority of today’s intellectual minds.

@creekfiend sounds like what you were talking about just now. We so strongly want to believe in independent, intelligent computers that we want to see them all around us, and always have been it seems.

Hm ik werd daarnet gegrepen door een xenofobe kop op VRTNWS maar ondertussen is die precies stilletjes aangepast.

The amount of times I have emailed a complaint to the NOS to correct transphobic language only to have my email be the only evidence it ever happened.

This feels similar to when cats see a prey in the distance and start to do that stange motion with their mouths and chirping/chattering

...pfft

He is trying so hard to be a good boy and be patient and not yell in the car. And ends up sounding like a rubber chicken stuck in a vacuum cleaner. It's the sweetest.

I read something about it a while back, it's a network of connected bots, mainly focussed on transgender and queer blogs. Hence the language and why they are still around.

Having seen some births now i can say that dog birth is amazing cos they just slip n slide out one after the other like a little conveyor belt. And theyre so little and unformed. And then UNGULATE BIRTHS ... are amazing for the opposite reason which is that 10mins after being born they are filing their taxes. Unless they are goats, in which case they are committing tax fraud instead

Goats are what is called a precocial species, which means that shortly after birth they are able to do many thimgs on their own, such as standing, walking, eating, and embezzlement

Poor giraffes have to start all of that with a long drop (no, mommy has places to be, no lying down), then to figure out four little stilts and the local tax system before joining the herd.
