📚 I'm excited to share that my book, 'Refugee Displacement, Disability, and Human Rights: The Production, Processing, and Power of Data', is now accessible through libraries with institutional access to Taylor & Francis eBooks! 📚

Omg it is so beautiful!!

I got in about 15 min ago. Huzzah!

3 hours in (or out). Still probably too early to bang on the door (6am). And I don't think my spine will let me get up to the door soon anyway! Gahhhh

And I can't get through to the front yard to use the doorbell either

Go outside at 3am because you can't sleep and the door gets stuck, leaving you outside :( I mean it's okay for me to use DnD on my phone, just not others because I do silly goose things like this

Lol I just called up another relo and the parole board came back earlier than we expected, and it's what we hoped for! Yay! Less than a month to go and they will be free! I had been checking their current address, but it's too late for another letter now so just asking their guardians to pass it on

Ugh no surprise there. It's all mental health, so they got nothing before (they really tried :( ) or during (despite the judge's request).

Ahh I want it to go well so badly! I've heard bits and pieces of their time in both private and public, and yikes. The system fucked them over even before they went in, but now it'll be trauma turned up to 11!

I have a relative in prison and their parole is in a few weeks. I am nervous for them! I imagine there's no post-prison care except by local communities, they need time to heal from it all. I hope everything goes smoothly with release, even if I'm too far to offer much in the way of support

Zuck can try to mask it with pig hunting and martial arts (apparently his idea of "masculinity"), but it's just misogyny all the way down.

When you become chronically ill - people leave you. They may be supportive at first but many grown impatient when you don’t “get better”.

They refuse to accept the realities of the “chronic” part of chronic illness. They leave you behind.

This is especially hard at the holidays. 1/2

A white and grey long haired kitten sitting on a short red brick wall between a garden and patio

Woke up this morning to a little visitor! Vlad was unsure, but not too worried about them. We made sure they got home safely (but it seems the neighbours catio is not as secure as previously thought lol but that's okay, kitties are safe here)

You'd think that decades of chronic pain, I'd be less surprised by a new diagnosis (that's been missed by doctors for who knows how long). Then to see surgery rates where 20-40% don't work?!? Ughhh

"It's not about the money" Raygun said a few days before demanding $10,000 from a small local venue over an event raising money for domestic violence shelters

Omfg this >< at least some I've seen seem to think that I can exercise my way out of chronic pain! Uhh no. And then all my meds to manage said pain increase weight too. I'm not Sisyphus-ing weight just for their peace of mind

A half rotten wooden fence has numerous holes along the bottom. A small ginger cat nose and whiskers is sticking out of one of them

Aww hello little neighbour kitty!

A brown and cream cat with blue eyes is lying down, front paws curled under him, on a green sheeted bed. His mouth is wide open in a meow and his ears are slightly back

I LOVE YOU! (He was getting annoyed at me taking his picture)

I have been using the Medisafe app for years to track and manage my meds, but from 8 December they will only let you track and manage 2 medications for free, and you have to pay a monthly subscription if you want to put more on. Dicks.

Any suggestions for a FREE meds app that does the same things?

Still trying to find my Twitter people and other new people on here.
Why not give me a follow?
Come for disability and justice issues, stay for pop culture goodness, Queer delights, NYC love, and anti-zionist Jewish stuff.
Nu? It couldn't hurt!

So I have this thing I call the hug mat on my kitchen bench. When I come inside from having a coffee, Vlad will sit on it and is the perfect height to get pats (because chronic pain = bending is hard)

Hahaha who doesn't love chronic illness/pain? I'm on the babiest of baby exercises and, in trying some new ones, am not sure if it's painful so I should do the previous ones or just sore like it should be post exercise. It's been 5 minutes

A friend got some fresh muffins, mmmm meezer muffins! Their colour will come in over the next few weeks
