What an incredibly corrupt batch of bullshit this is. Literally making Tesla a target- is this part of pushing things until they can declare martial law?
My fav part of antidepressants is that I’ll wake and up and wonder “why should I get out of bed?” And not find and answer, but then be like “I don’t need a reason ima get up cuz I want to” :D
CONNIE PANZARINO at a pride march in Boston circa 1990
[ID: Connie is marching along in her sip 'n' puff (SNP) wheelchair. She is wearing a patterned poncho and sporting a green felt party crown on her head. She styles a pair of wire-rimmed glasses with her slicked back hair. She is smiling. Attached to the back of her wheelchair is a large green cardboard poster that reads "Trached Dykes Eat Pussy Without Comin' Up For Air!" followed by a pink upside-down triangle with a stick figure person in a wheelchair at the centre (a symbol for disabled women)].
the cyborg & the crip by Alison Kafer
[ID: “Trached dykes eat pussy without coming up for air.” Connie Panzarino, a longtime disability activist and out lesbian, would attach this sign to her wheelchair during Pride marches in Boston in the early 1990s. Shockingly explicit, her sign refuses to cast technology as cold, distancing, or disembodied/disembodying, presenting it instead as a source and site of embodied pleasure. “Trach” is an abbreviation of tracheotomy, a medical procedure in which a breathing tube is inserted directly into the trachea, bypassing the mouth and nose. Someone with a trach, then, can, in effect, breathe through her throat, freeing her mouth for other activities (another version of this sign is “Trached dykes french kiss without coming up for air”). From a cyborgian perspective, this sign is brilliantly provocative and productive. It draws on the pervasive idea that adaptive technologies grant superior abilities,not merely replacing a lost capacity but enhancing it, yet it does so in a highly subversive way. The message here isn’t about blending in, about passing as normal or hypernormal, but about publicly announcing the viability of a queer disabled location. It’s disnormalizing, adamantly refusing compulsory heterosexuality, compulsory able bodiedness, and homonormativity. As Corbett O’Toole argues, it challenges the perceived passivity of disabled women, presenting them as actively pleasuring their partners, thereby graphically refuting stereotypes linking physical disability with nonsexuality.]
Fun story from a few months ago, hospital parking lot chaos lmao. I use a wheelchair btw- was rolling out of the parking lot building thing and shut the door behind me, only to be stuck on a tiny piece of sidewalk with no ramp and a huge curb. And the door didn’t have a handle on the outside too. I had to cling onto a sign post and have someone put my chair in the street in order to get to the hospital entrance lmao. Absolutely wild.

hermits and their animated thingies
happy ides of march
Not gonna get into it but having medical problems and getting very unlucky dude I had to crawl my way downstairs partially deaf and unable to move my eyes in their sockets (cuz pain scale 9 yeouch) (had to close my eyes every time I moved and only open them when I’m perfectly still like some kind of horror game) and like it was pretty freaking surreal having like no sleep feeling my way down the stairs in the house at 5:36 am lmao.
Felt kinda liminal, or maybe it was the migraine making me stupid idk 💀
But I was low-key feeling like an ego death or smt I felt like a creature on this planet bro.
Still don’t have my hearing back but hopefully it comes back eventually???? Cuz I can’t take the meds to fix it because it will react with my heart medication😔
Anyways I love pain meds <3
