MUTUAL AID - $238/350

Hello all! It's your friendly neighborhood mod Glitch, and I'm in need of some help.

I am a trans nonbinary neurodivergent chronically ill disabled individual who has been unable to qualify for disability, and I'm just out here trying to survive.

I am in need of help to pay my internet and power bill, groceries (I don't get my EBT till the 16th), cat food/cat litter, personal care and hygiene items, and a bus pass so I can get to medical appointments.

Help is greatly appreciated!

theguardian.com/commentisfree/. If this wretched #Government scraps #EHCPs, it will be a total #disaster for #disabled & #specialneeds #children & their #parents - & yet more proof "Labour" doesn't give a damn about people of any age with any form of #disability. So - prove me wrong, #Labour, don't scrap EHCPs, & give #SEND #education the #financial boost it so desperately needs! I won't hold my breath.

"Funded" my first Kickstarter project–really just pre-orders through Kickstarter. I'm giving them a shout-out because when I asked for a preproduction unit in exchange for providing feedback–since I'm an unusual usecase–they were extremely kind and made multiple generous offers to accommodate me. This is the first true wireless, split, staggered 75% keyboard that I'm aware of, or I would have just bought what already existed.

Bitte unterstützt das ZeDiS Zentrum für Disability Studies in Hamburg. Die Professur und Stellen laufen September bzw Endes des Jahres aus. Auch ich habe dort schon Vorlesungen aus den Disability Studies gehört. Wir brauchen in dieser Zeit umso mehr marginalisierte Stimmen und intersektionale Forschung und Lehre auf diesem Gebiet. Danke für eure Hilfe <3 zedis-hamburg.de/index.php/202

Weil ich das gerade erlebt habe:
Wenn ich Leuten sage, dass etwas nicht accessible für mich ist, dann möchte ich nicht hören, wie schade das sei.

Es ist schon hart genug, dass etwas für mich nicht (oder nicht mehr) accessible ist. Ich könnte hier nun z.B. all die Dinge aufzählen, die seit der Pandemie nicht mehr für mich accessible sind, aber ich spar uns das mal.
Ich möchte jedenfalls nicht auch noch extra daran erinnert werden, was mir entgeht.

One more quote:

"The sorry saga of ‘The Salt Path’ has been very revealing of our ideas about chronic illness and exercise, and we can only hope that people will be learning from it. The message I want to get across is that exercise is not a panacea for all ills.

… Just don’t assume that exercise is always good for everyone, or overestimate its ability to heal any ailing body."

"What does the fallout from the ‘Salt Path’ saga tell us about our society’s ideas about chronic illness and exercise?"

bjgplife.com/what-does-the-fal

"But the problem is that individual stories are taken up and generalised and widely applied beyond where they should be, especially if they appear to confirm pre-existing cultural biases."

"Our societal bias that exercise can only ever heal, never harm, is incredibly pervasive."

“Is there an opportunity for a heroic rescue?”

“Can you be cured?”

People like to get the reward of a happy ending, or a hit of tragic but finite grief

None of this “living with” #disability stuff

It’s harder to market that. Gotta build it into the tax code instead, and we can’t have that

With the magic of I don't even know -plastic spores of ye olde coca cola bottles and fairy farts?- I managed to finish this week's comic! :D My head hurts.

You can read it in tapastic, or Ko-fi, all free - and you could also share this, thank you, maybe help by dropping a little Brain Cell (kofi) in Ko-fi if you like the comic and want me to keep going <3

I think that the worst part of depression is not being interested in anything.

I'm usually INTENSELY interested in things, constantly reading and googling and trying to learn everything I can about everything that's going on.. to go from that to just not caring is a weird feeling. I feel like I'm sitting outside of my brain.

If you EVER feel like you're garbage, you have absolutely nothing on some #housing traps for #homeless in #losangeles.

A #mentalhealth facility sent me to a place that lied to them, and said new residents didn't have to pay for the first couple months until they found a job or grant. I got there and with NOWHERE else to go for a couple weeks, was told I had to pay my #foodstamps and my entire #disability or I was #homeless.

Then my case manager was assigned and saved me.
