Since this app doesn't reliably show me all of the posts of the people I follow, sometimes I just have to spend 20 mins intentionally catching up on @discountfaramir.bsky.social posts and making sure I actually follow other accounts I haven't seen in a while

Today is the first time in years I've had to ask someone else to make a difficult phone call for me. #MentalHealth 😅 Unless you count calling mechanics, which I always ask a man to do, for best results

Ghost-busting Muppets on the board, this afternoon.
A hand hovering with a small paintbrush over two small watercolour illustration of Muppets dressed as Ghostbusters. A paint palette and tubes of watercolour paint can be seen resting above the illustrations.

As someone who has been through 30+ years of physical therapy I agree that is definitely not how one's back should be shaped doing a plank 😅

Honestly I don't know if I have the touch of zen today that's required for a successful throwing session but I have to at least go check on this mug...

Hey NC, our state Treasurer just emailed all state employees with a "just because using [insert healthcare institution] is cheaper for you, it's not cheaper for us, the state, so could you pretty please not use that one? Even if you need it? Did we mention our budget is in peril?"

It has become apparent that I need a #DisabilityRights attorney who takes ADA related cases in NC. Please DM me if you have recommendations. DRNC is unavailable based on caseload.

The extent to which one must go to see even the lightest possible enforcement of the ADA is simply bonkers. Employer being discriminatory? You better be ready to lodge a formal, perfectly worded complaint to get the accommodations you need to...yep, still work for someone discriminating against you.

This is also the easiest way for me, a person not accustomed to selling art, to tell a design isn't being stolen or slightly remastered because if I buy it I want to buy it from the artist!

I did it, I purchased the Janus ring from @peculiarityshop.bsky.social (It's been a tiring month and I deserve something shiny)
A vintage sterling silver ring of the 2 drama masks, tragedy frowning on the left and comedy grinning on the right, atop a wide ribbon like silver band

On the bright(ish?) side I suspect this means you were not percieved as someone guys could brag about their exploits to. Overheards when men think no women are listening...it's gross.

Not to put down ScarJo's own power & influence, but it's fun to think about these conversations. "If you get to buy the Ferry with Pete, then I'm gonna launch the skincare idea!"

In an age of AI, making imperfect art is my resistance. Let me make my slightly lopsided bowls, use the poverty of community theatre to make a profound experience, and plunk out piano pieces above my skill level. Perfect art is boring!

I can't believe I need to keep saying this in 2026 but "bring back institutionalization/toss em in loony bins/lock up anyone we think is weird" jokes are not funny even if it is about someone everyone in the room doesn't like.

Yeesh. I'm so sorry. Vandy has been talking about huge expansion to their fundraising teams too! You'd think that would have the opposite effect. Every time I see this kind of thing I want to roll up and be like "SHOW ME THE ADVANCEMENT STRATEGY" like Batman, but with spreadsheets.

They're the only grocery store ice cream that has a malted flavor and it's delicious! Ice cream purists kind of hate on it because of gums or something, but I have enjoyed almost every flavor I've tried 🤷

The solution to poverty is find a job! Okay, do me a favor. Put on your CV that you have a disability that requires accommodation. See how much interest you get. If you DO get hired, clock how long it takes before you start getting written up for medical absences, “attitude” problems, etc.

Not necessarily about aging, more about death, but Thomas Lynch's book The Undertaking is one of the best.

I have 8x8" prints up for sale on my website, including these 4 and some other designs! These have the full bleed, so the actual prints are slightly cut differently. www.lauraillustrates.com
compilation of four illustrations: a jellyfish parade in blues, greens, yellows and oranges; gambel's quail family in oranges, greens and yellow; an inchworm surrounded by other bugs and flowers with the words "little by little, inch by inch" in rainbow colors; little ducks in a sink with flowers and food in pinks, oranges, yellows, dark greys, and blues

I've hit my max re: access fatigue as of late. Fighting for the right to work, to be in all the spaces I deserve to be in, to enjoy the most basic of things. Put me out, coach. I need literally any time out of the constant combat. A few seconds, even.

And yes, I had contacted that clinician after the first denial. Got yelled at by a case worker for contacting them at all. Had 3 different doctors tell me they didn't know what to write down. So I had to write it, and fax (yep. faxing was mandatory) it myself.
