The idea that disabled people must be constantly visibly suffering to "prove" we're disabled is just the adult version of "if you're too sick for school, you're too sick for TV."

I have some bills piling up, so a sale or two at my shop would be much appreciated. If you're interested in my fabric art, I'd love for you to check out what I have available. Each Jeremy Creature is designed and hand-sewed by me and takes many hours to create. jeremycreature.bigcartel.com
Here's a lovely photo of a plethora of hand-sewn fabric art creatures. There's a watermelon creature with a red face, eight black seed-like eyes, and a wide mouth with five sharp teeth. There's a white ghost trinket bag covered with purple embroidered flowers. She has a gray face, sparkly black eyes and a little frown. There's a strawberry creature with three bulbous green eyes. There's a watermelon ghost, and a black creature with sharp teeth wearing a bulbous eye earring. There's a large purple creature with many yellow eyes and an open mouth, with a little green creature popping her head out. All the creatures are sitting on green fur and there's a galaxy print fabric in the background.

We don't talk enough about how utterly lonely it is being chronically ill and/or disabled. Most times I'm able to cope with it, but sometimes it's absolutely crushing, all encompassing, to the point where I can feel it in my bones.

Check in on your chronically ill and disabled loved ones. We're very tough and persevering but that doesn't mean what we're going through isn't really hard and isolating.

Scary Larry @ain...

When 92% of the population puts off or abandons medical care due to fear of financial ruin, you’ve got yourself a shithole country.

More Perfect Union @MorePerfect...

An overwhelming 92% of American have either delayed or totally abandoned medical care because of how expensive it is, according to a new survey.

simple bar chart titled sideways on the y-axis: "Chronic illness life". The background is a pale, warm off-white.

The chart displays two bars:

Left Bar: A tall, vibrant pink bar labeled along the x-axis below as "What I want to do with my life."

Right Bar: A tiny, very short blue-purple bar labeled along the x-axis below as "What I can physically do."

It’s not just that I can’t work.

It’s the soul-crushing humiliation of being asked “so, what do you do?”

and realizing my entire life has been reduced to managing symptoms and surviving until bedtime.

Back at the emergency vet with my girl, who once again drooped and wouldn't eat or drink all morning but got so excited when I grabbed the leash 😐
A small tricolor dog wearing a red gentle leader and a white vet collar looks saucily over her shoulder with a smile on her face. The vet is legit one of her favorite places in the whole wide world.

Starbucks Workers United @sbworkersunited.org · 25/08/2026
🚨BREAKING: Our union of over 12,000 baristas are officially calling for a Starbucks boycott. Read this statement penned by Starbucks workers on why a boycott from ALL customers, allies, and organizations is necessary to fight back against corporate greed:
BOYCOTT STARBUCKS is written inside a zig-zaggy speech bubble against crumbled paper. Beside it are the Starbucks Workers United logo and an image of a coffee cup being poured out.We, the 12,000 and growing members of Starbucks Workers United, call on everyone who stands with working people to boycott Starbucks until they finalize a contract with union baristas and stop union-busting.
What we’re fighting for is simple: a minimum $17/hr wage, enough hours to live on, better staffing in our stores, and basic workplace protections. Every year, our living costs rise but our wages don’t keep up – a growing pressure many American workers are feeling as corporate greed accelerates unchecked in our country. 
Starbucks is banking on customers' blind loyalty to the integrity and values this company once stood for in order to keep squeezing them for profits. At a time when working-class people across the country are struggling in a challenging economy, it is no longer possible to be both a Starbucks customer and in support of workers; choosing to spend money at Starbucks is choosing a law breaking corporation over the baristas who make your coffee everyday exactly as you ask for it.
Starbucks has violated U.S. labor law more than any other company in modern history–the NLRB and its judges have found that Starbucks committed hundreds of labor violations and there are currently more than 550 unresolved unfair labor practice charges still pending against the company. Instead of finalizing a fair and reasonable union contract, Starbucks has repeatedly demonstrated a lack of care for the workers who fuel the company’s profits by wasting millions of dollars on AI and technology that doesn’t work, launching countless gimmicky drinks designed to distract from real problems, and inventing pointless policies that do nothing but make our jobs harder. 
This ongoing, irrational behavior by Starbucks and its refusal to settle a fair union contract with workers leaves us with no other choice than to call for a boycott. We know when working people stand up together, we win. 
No Contract? No Coffee.
