And, as a small bonus and thank you, early donors that give $10 or more can claim a Chronic Chaos era temporary tattoo! They take about 3 days to fully develop and last 1-2 weeks.

Closing out Disabled And Here: Possible Futures is @nearsh0t.bsky.social, who brings us to a world where disabled people are stewards of nature, hydropower, and biothermal technology. Meet Ty: affecttheverb.com/2026/ty-inte...

Illustration of a Black woman Elder sitting in a grand mobility chair embroidered with vines, fruit, and foliage. The padded chair has robotic feet and is connected to a hydroponic garden, with a leafy canopy roof. The woman reaches up to grab a passion fruit off the canopy. She wears a headscarf, long locs, choker, ankle-length tube dress, and sandals.

Photo of Ty, a Black agender person, outdoors while wearing a wide-brimmed striped hat. They also have cat eye glasses, shoulder length locs, and a pink and black Kirby shirt. A quote by them overlays the bottom of the photo, “I wanted to imagine a world where we don't treat nature as an obstacle, but as a companion to our community. That would still exist and has existed, but here I wanted to push it to the extreme...
Because of the ways in which nature helps us in this future, we would be the keepers and teachers of the knowledge these plants provide.”

Disabled And Here’s third Possible Future was drawn into being by @dooberlane.bsky.social, as a time and place where teleportation could be accessible and bring friends together more often. Meet the illustrator, Michelle Zhuang: affecttheverb.com/2026/michell...

Illustration of three disabled friends gathering for hot pot.

On the left, a Black and Asian transmasculine individual beams into their friend’s home with a bag of fruits and vegetables. They wear glasses and a glucose monitor with a hologram display on their hip, and the teleportation device above them announces, “Arriving from: Chicago.” Next to the teleporter, a South Asian non-binary person walks over with their quad base cane. On the right, an East Asian woman sits at a height and width-adjustable table in her power wheelchair, raising a hand in greeting while a cat rests contentedly in their lap.

On the table is a steaming pot of hot pot soup base and a small assortment of meats and vegetables.

Disabled And Here: Possible Futures is starting off with Lizartistry (lizar_tistry on IG)’s depiction of a world “closer to a liberatory horizon that embodies disability wisdom and abolition infused with solarpunk aesthetics.” affecttheverb.com/2026/lizarti...

Illustration of three disabled people of color at a solarpunk apothecary stall. On the left, an East Asian person with a cleft lip sits in front of the stall, enjoying a cold cap. On the right, a South Asian person using a power wheelchair grinds medicinal plants. Within the stall, a Black person with a mechanic monocle uses a forearm crutch to reach for a plant on a pulley device. The stall has a solar panel and plant bed on its roof and is equipped with a healing tank, medical tech library, and medicine exchange stand.

Last in Disabled And Here’s T4T with Pride series is LP: “…trans Pride means trusting yourself. I don’t think I would have been able to survive Long COVID if I didn’t…see myself deserving of care, and trust that I am fully capable of asserting myself.” affecttheverb.com/2025/lp-inte...

A masked non-binary Filipino person looks at the camera neutrally while sitting in a plant shop with his arm resting atop his forearm crutch. He has glasses, hair cut short and blunt save for a purposely wavy long strand, and is dressed in a large loose fit shirt, long shorts, and socks with clogs.
