POV: Treat yourself nicely with self-care.

Also, doing my part for my union - taking training on a new CBA contract. Oh how beautiful the new contract with better languages.

It has been a minute since my last post... Plus, still here.

This morning on my commute to work. I saw a Tesla car with a sticker on the back window of the Tesla car with the text of, "Anti-Musk Tesla Club."

Autistic 4th Grader Delivers Powerful Response to RFK Jr. "I'm not broken."

God blesses him!

Took my gym progress photo a couple of days earlier and it's coming good. 💪🏻

I finally went for a small hike, and not only just hiking but started doing this thing. 📷

Still learning with this cool stuff.

Hearing peeps, please do yourself a favor and check your privileges towards the Deaf.

Anyways I'm off to do my schoolwork. ✌🏻

Did attend the rally at Seattle Central College, but decided not to stay at Cal Anderson Park because there were no ASL interpreters at the rally there while there were ASL interpreters at the rally at Seattle Central.

Accessibility still needs to be worked on from hearing people's end. 🙄

Seattle Colleges Staff and Faculty Unions WALK OUT against furloughs + job cuts + chronic underfunding. May 1. Rally @ Seattle Central College 10:45AM to 12PM.

On May 1, faculty and staff in AFT 1789, WFSE 304, and AFT 6550 from across the Seattle Colleges will walk out at 10am to stand in solidarity and protest against furloughs for faculty and staff; decades-long chronic underfunding of our colleges; and impending job cuts in student-facing jobs.

Washington State Workers Take the Fight to the Governor Hundreds of Washington state workers streamed into the capitol building in Olympia on April 9 demanding, “No cuts! No furloughs! Tax, tax the rich!” Our booming chants echoed through the rotunda, maki...

Washington state has among the most regressive tax codes in the U.S. and faces a multibillion-dollar shortfall, and elected leaders are trying to push that burden onto workers and attacking public sector bargaining, a WFSE Local 443 organizer wrote: labornotes.org/blogs/2025/0... 1/2

Good thing I already withdrew myself from going to dinner to protect my mental health. But ugh, fuck hearing privileges.

Deaf POV: On this Easter, when your immediate family plans on making a nice dinner and invites their church peers for dinner, and you would be only deaf at table this time.

An awesome way to harm your deaf family member. 😑

Please do your favor and check your privilege toward your deaf peer.

Ahem, RFK Jr. I'm an autistic adult and I have jobs, pay taxes, have gone on dates, and many more. Check again with your claims while your claim resulted in a fallacy.

Otherwise, fuck off RFK Jr. 🖕🏻

The image shows a section of a bathroom stall wall with a handwritten message in black marker. The message reads: "A Trans Person Peed here and you SURVIVED! :)" Next to the text, there is a small sticker of the transgender pride flag

Yes. People need to get over themselves.

Have a great time! 🙂

It's that time of the year once again - Autism Awareness/Acceptance/Appreciation month.
Foremost with Autism month - no "level", no jigsaw, and no linear corresponding with autism.

Better late than never, happy Trans visibility day!

Language deprivation is no joke in the deaf world. Brains want language--any and ALL language is good for the developing brain!

By the looks of it, the Wisconsin peeps indeed just ate the rich. 😉

Till next time!

Escaped from the big metro for much needed self-care for the weekend.

I'm pleased to share that I have completed my minor with philosophy so I'm getting close to finishing school as of now.

That's all with my update from my end. I leave you a couple of photos from a camping trip.

Had to improvise with as many layers of blankets for the incoming storm with a chance of rare hailstorm.

Finally on break from school!

Calling up @governorferguson.bsky.social and legislators asking them to please start taxing billionaires rather than closing facilities like Rainier School which keep developmentally disabled adults alive.

We're demanding a #WashingtonForAll, not just the rich. Time to get on board, #Waleg!

Just finished one of my classes. One down, one more to go. Can't wait for spring break from school, plus going camping next weekend to mentally recover from the madness from school and other stuff.
