Yeah and it devalues all the organizing that people do remotely, which feels in parallel to a lot of the “back to office” speak from corporations… which of course eventually pushes out disabled people who can’t be there to do all that irreplaceable in-person “collaboration”. Just ableism all around

Actually, let me try something different than just asking for money: If you have any possible leads or hiring power for a job that hires for WFH customer/tech support out of Washington state PLEASE message or DM me and if you don't please share this.

My grandpa was so sick with leukemia in 2010 we were preparing to lose him. Everyone had to mask in his hospital room. He got better and lived another 7 years!! With lots of care, of course. I think about the odds of someone like him having such a fortunate outcome this decade and there’s no way 😞

ChatGPT, can you help me write a post for Bluesky that basically says: “You will never convince me that generative AI is an accessibility tool. It’s ok to not be great at writing. Whatever you come up with is going to be way better than what ChatGPT vomited out. Some days the words don’t word, idk.”

I’m aware of this band because I copy-edited a news story about their concert at the Gorge many years ago (which being new to the PNW I’d never seen—the photos were stunning). And in the crowd there were people brandishing… actual cast-iron skillets? Not sure if that was typical of Skillet fandom 😂

Oh wow I’m kind of obsessed with the “historical” 90s dolls 🫠… not enough to buy one but enough to contemplate accessorizing my “American Girl of Today” from 1997. Her outfits were a lil homely during the actual 90s, but Nicki’s skateboarding outfit? [chef’s kiss]

Reeling at @geekgirlcon.bsky.social deciding to drop their mask requirements for 2025. There’s no such thing as “supporting those who choose to mask”. You support disabled/immunocompromised people by wearing one yourself, not by… what, abstaining from harassing them? You think that’s inclusive? 🍪

Laur @laurzaur.bsky.social · 05/03/2025
Just found out about this wtf! Last year was my first and it was so healing to be included and not isolated. I can’t be the only one who wrote a whole thing in their post-con survey about how they shouldn’t drop the requirements for the next one… Which means they read all that and still went “nah” 😔

Donating to @maskblocla.bsky.social is an excellent way to help folks in LA right now. They have been all over the place going to evacuation shelters handing out N95 respirators the past few days and are even planning to reimburse people for donating their own masks. They could rly use our support!

Was anyone else deeply confused as a child about the line in The Night Before Christmas where the narrator “tore open the shutters and threw up the sash?” I didn’t understand why he opened up the window to barf, nor why he had eaten a sash(?), but the urgency made sense.

Handy info to have before buying a print! Also if the artist offers to print in a different size for you, take them up on it. Don’t be like me and turn it into a whole art retrofitting project that takes six months. (It did give me an excuse to use the hammer loop on my coveralls… but never again.)

I’m grateful it’s mild but I think what people don’t understand is that even a mild case means my “normal” is way different than it was before getting sick, and that a lot of effort, rest, canceled plans, and adjusted expectations are required to maintain a baseline that appears “normal”.

Laur @laurzaur.bsky.social · 12/08/2024
“Mild” ME/CFS is so weird. Do a multiday work trip, feel fine, finish out the week from home. Maybe I’m not disabled after all! Crochet and make a quiche on Saturday? Now we’ve overdone it! Too fatigued to speak Sunday night. Sleep will help me recover though! Nope, sore feet restless legs insomnia.

Can confirm another cat does not cancel out the first cat’s wild nonsense. We have a playful kitten who growls and screams in a corner when his older buddy gets too hyped and basically tries to hunt him at 6am. What I want to know is: are cat zoomies typically worse in the summer?

Every time I emerge from a crash (or in this case a flare-up of *some new mystery thing*), I can hear my brain ready to go full “I get knocked down, but I get up again!” It doesn’t want to hear that just because we have energy and aren’t in pain doesn’t mean we need to clean/bake/fix all the things
