If Your Support Of Decolonization (anywhere) Is Predicated On Your View Of The Colonized People As Exceptionally

People only have so much patience for those of us with chronic illnesses, chronic pain, and or mental health difficulties.

At the beginning there is so much support (or at least more support) but when they realise you're not recovering as quickly as they'd like... you get avoided, isolated, told you're exaggerating, etc. They seldom think about how those of us with chronic issues feel. How overwhelming it is to deal with everything day in and day out. There is so much anxiety, depression, grief, etc when dealing with chronic issues regardless of what they are.

If you're even more isolated because people refuse to see how much you're struggling or you're not recovering "fast enough" for the people around you just know you're not alone! There are so many of us in the same boat too

Elphaba: We’re a team now, right? Ride or die? Glinda: Sure, I would totally ride you. Elphaba: What? Glinda: What? Fiyero, loudly: She said she’d ride you.

Friend, sending a pic of the Wicked book with the movie cover: So this is the original novel, just with the movie cover? Me: Yep. Friend: Cool, I kinda want to read it. Me: Just be prepared that the book is very different than the musical. Friend: Okay, but which one is better? Me: Neither is better than the other. They're just very different--different emphasis, different plot points. It's like comparing a Grimm original to the Disney version.

Congrats to Grazer, Fat Bear Week champion of 2023. May her rule for the coming year be benevolent and just.

What is occurring now in Gaza and the West Bank is nothing short of a MASS DISABLING EVENT, COLLECTIVE PUNISHMENT, AND GENOCIDE!

What is happening in Gaza and the West Bank is a disability justice and Indigenous rights crisis! As a Disabled Queer person of Indigenous Descent, I cannot entertain the both sides narrative that has been rampant on Tumblr.

Groundhog Day is a holiday in US and Canada (February 2nd). It comes from a superstition in which if a groundhog emerges from its burrow and sees its own shadow, it means that there will be six more weeks of winter; if it does not see its own shadow, spring will come early. The most widely recognized "official groundhog" is Punxsutawney Phil, who lives in Punxsutawney, PA (USA) with his wife, Phyllis, and two children. (Yes, the groundhog is married.)

This year, Phil predicted ❄️ more winter! ❄️
