TIDAL consistently introduces me to fantastic artists with fewer than 100 followers and sometimes only a single track uploaded. The discovery algorithm accurately matches my previous listens without simply regurgitating the same songs over and over. But sure, we still need Spotify.

There has been a noticeable lack of serious reaction over Turkish persecution of LGBTQIA+ community from the global community. As in many other countries, Türkiye tries to mask persecution by claiming being LGBTQIA+ isn't illegal and then using "obscenity laws". www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

#MutualAidRequest help if you can paypal.me/andrewgurza6
I need your help. I need 2 new slings to help me get into bed. The disability support program won’t pay for 2 more because they funded one earlier this year. The other two I have are 10 years old and ripping. They are unsafe to use. I explained that I need extras in case I have accidents and have to wash one or two, I need an extra.  The two slings will cost $1,265.00 CAD (one sling is 560.00). If you want to help, you can go here:

thank you so much.

There was a mass disabling event in recent history that could cause long term health issues including but not limited to mobility, recent studies showed that nearly half of those diagnosed with Long Covid have suffered mobility and balance deterioration. I imagine some may need mobility aids.

"There's a number of diets we can talk about that'd help manage your calorie intake." He hadn't even glanced at my chart and so had not realized I suffer a severely impaired metabolism and frequently eat one meal or less a day. He just saw a fat body and applied his whole 1 semester of nutrition.

Right before they put me under for surgery, the surgeon reflected on how disability affected my life, then said, "You're a smart guy. It's a real waste." In the moment, I seriously wondered if this guy was about to kill me or something.

"Because of your weight, it would be unethical for me to treat your infertility, but if you lost ten pounds and I could see you were putting in the effort, then I'd reconsider." Cool, so that's a moral judgement, not a medical assessment, cool, cool.

After my c-section, I asked my ObGYN what care at home would look like and what sort of painkiller I'd be prescribed (so my husband could pick it up) and he said OTC Tylenol because by asking, I was "exhibiting drug seeking behavior."

Went to the doctor to get my antidepressants renewed. I had been out of them for weeks. Told them I had been feeling suicidal without them and because of sustained online harassment. Nurse then told me “you’ve gained a lot of weight, which happened because you‘ve been so happy. Try not to eat much”
