- there is a need to resist how the state actively recruits writers for cultural export (on the capital-driven frankfurt book fair as a whole)

i really tried, to be the "ate" na tibak na nandoon kung kailangan mo. / i set my boundaries but i trusted my instincts.

my past trauma/s doesn't afford me to know where to assign blame.

kaka-trauma pala

sobrang delayed ng response ng utak ko ah

and i failed once this month. with state fascism, mostly to blame.

actually, hindi ko pa siya naproprocess. and my therapists will never get it.

so much to talk about how mainstream activism crushes neurodivergent activists under its heel. i am grateful that my collective is/have a little bit more forgiving (at dedma doon sa hindi) i have too much grief for those who were failed

Someone with a bpd diagnosis speaking at the protest earlier pointed out they were caught between being told it wasn't a real disability in terms of qualifying for government support while also being told it would soon count to justify euthanasia.

okay, done. no more angst for missed deadlines, please!

i can't find myself to care about getting rejected. i just need it Done

if i miss another cfp or cfa, im gonna kms

I'd want to read, but I can probably ask a lot more than actually comment tbh (:

I need non-disabled disability studies scholars to check themselves. Your ideal theory and refusal to be "functionalist" is causing harm. Real people need direct action.

permission to crosspost this on twitter? (okay if not👍)
