the thing about fiber art that nobody tells you about is that every single kind of fiber art is a gateway drug to other kinds of fiber art.

I do actually have quite a bit of patience for doctors who are late. most of the time when a doctor is late it is because they are running overtime with a more critical patient. I have definitely been that patient. in this current system that overbooks doctors the alternative to doctors being late is a doctor telling someone mid discussion about their child needing kidney dialysis "oops we're out of time!"

‘Nuclear Family Month’ is so funny as a concept. I have never seen a nuclear family worth celebrating.

disabled people who do not directly "contribute" to society and need large amounts of care and resources to survive deserve not only to survive but to have comfort, stability, and fun within their lives while they do. no compromises.

My gastric emptying study got scheduled and it’s actually this month! It was ordered yesterday and with the current rate of scheduling at my hospital that is amazingly quick.

Got too excited - my follow-up after the test isn’t until late July. The cons of having a doctor who only sees patients in office like 3 days a month.

I support living in a castle. That’s whimsical and fun but you need to fully commit to living in a castle. No halfway designs!

hot tip: when someone else makes a post about disability don't reblog it with an addition that boils down to "this makes me understand why people commit suicide". that's an inside thought, or a separate post even.

There's a recurring online tendency to aestheticize consensus itself. The imagined future village is full of emotionally compatible people who enjoy communal gardening, conflict resolution circles, acoustic folk music, mutual aid potlucks, and repairing bicycles together at sunset. Which is nice for the people who genuinely enjoy that lifestyle. But plenty of humans are solitary, prickly, obsessive, urban, nocturnal, sensory-seeking, technologically attached, contrarian, novelty-seeking, private, or just plain difficult. Those people do not evaporate after the revolution. They do not get Left Behind while you are Raptured into the Utopia. They become your neighbors.

Tryinging to understand the difference between "friend group" and "community" has genuinely helped me feel safer in my community. We don't need to agree, we don't need to enjoy each other's company, we just need to coexist
