The worst part of being disabled is seeing the expression of your loved ones finally lose patience with supporting you.

You become the burden, truly.

And all youโ€™re doing is try to survive and try to co-regulate with your safe people.

And youโ€™re too much right now for their needs.

Such a treat to win a race with another uma and catch a glimpse of celebrating Urara go by in the background. Delightful icon. Love how you drew her eyes

Photo of a stunning shorthaired orange tabby cat sitting up looking handsome. You can see a little thumb on one of his polydactyl paws.

Poor Ravioli has been at the shelter for a long time. ๐Ÿ’” He's very handsome and wants affection badly, but he's prone to getting overstimulated. Posting in hopes that maybe a quiet, cat-savvy person in Vermont might see this! www.hsccvt.org/Cats#sl_embe...

Valve just updated their Steam rules to ban content that โ€œmay violate rules set by payment processors or banks.โ€ Sounds boring. Itโ€™s not. Itโ€™s the quiet normalization of financial censorship and itโ€™s going to hurt LGBTQ+ games and devs

A Long Way To A Small Angry Planet by Becky Chambers. Just hit the minimum amount of time needed between re-reads so Iโ€™m back in this series for maybe the 7th time.

BREAKING: Scientists are staging a โ€œscience fairโ€ in the lobby of a Congressional building to tell elected officials about the critical knowledge the US will lose because their research grants have been canceled.

Quick dirty ๐Ÿงต on where we get the idea of transsexual types and why we should careโ€”

I think these typologies are based on a REAL DIFFERENCE: the ways society *reacts* to different presentations of transness, which it then tries to naturalize.

I'm still in research phases but let's break it down

An image with a black and white background and a Latin American immigrant and a title Schrรถinger's Immigrant. On the left, it reads, "Lazily collecting all the welfare." On the right, it reads, "But also somehow taking all the jobs."

I knew we were cooked as a society when everyone just sorta decided they were sick of dealing with Covid and everyone just decided to pretend like it wasn't a thing anymore.

Folks talking about different inflection points donโ€™t understand: the COVID is over propaganda was, for a lot of us, the moment we realized our friends, family, neighbors couldnโ€™t be trusted wholesale. When community died no matter where you lived.

Thatโ€™s the difference.

A black and white graphic with an image of Frederick Douglass on the right, and a quote from Douglass in white text on the left: โ€œThe rich inheritance of justice, liberty, prosperity and independence, bequeathed by your fathers, is shared by you, not by me. This Fourth July is yours, not mine. You may rejoice. I must mourn.โ€ Below, light blue text reads: โ€œFrom abolitionist Frederick Douglassโ€™s July 3, 1852 speech, โ€˜What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?โ€™โ€ The ACLU logo is featured in light blue at the bottom.

Since our nationโ€™s founding, the fabric of American society has been woven with deeply racist policies systematically barring marginalized communities from accessing opportunities in jobs, education, and housing.

The time is now to root out racism and build a future grounded in equity for all.

*grabs your face between my hands*

Kids. Never. Deserve. Death. And. Trauma.

No matter where theyโ€™re from. No matter who their parents are. And if you canโ€™t center that grief while children are still missing, you need to work on your compassion.

Might as well clarify (this is the internet after all) that I am aware some animals need to wear clothes for health reasons

For me personally:
Humans posting about other animals doing their own thing = yay!
Humans dressing up other animals and placing them in contrived situations to post = judgemental sideeye
I don't know this cat well enough to judge if it likes it or not but posting it skeezes me out
