Anyone have rollator advice/brands/etc? Finally looking into them (I have such complex feelings about this) and there’s so many. #disability (please boost)

Calling out to the universe to protect KS. Please help if you're able. And yes, shares are also helping. Our communities really are passing around the same $20 bill. A new influx would be appreciated. #MutualAid

#3GoodThings 1. Friends getting good news. 2. The urge to make art. 3. The ridiculous number of cat pics on my phone.

Finally finished my artwork for the #Criptober first week theme, #FaerieRealm! #CriptoberWeekOne #OctoberArtChallenge #HalloweenArt
Illustration with a small fairy, surrounded by sparkles, reaching out with one finger to touch a human hand. A purple to green to pink rainbow surrounds them. The image is reminiscent of Michelangelo's Creation of Adam painting.

Tall evergreen trees blocking the sun that is streaming regardless, into the cool shadows of the forest. Rich red ivy covered dirt surrounds the light of a sunbeam that works it's way through the obstacles in front of it & also shines brightly beyond the blocking trees illuminating the forest beyond.

Sending love to all fellow survivors for whom being subjected to abuse and violence was/is such a constant, dismissed, normalized experience, that overwhelming self doubt has become second nature. These things DON'T develop in a vacuum and you're not a failure for not being "well adjusted".

Alt: Gif from The Shining. The creepy identically dressed twin girls are standing at the end of that dark, 70’s wallpapered hallway saying “come play with us” which sounds like it would be a horrible mistake.

No joke.
Book cover for What’s Happening to My Body? Book for Girls: A Growing Up Guide for Parents and Daughters by Linda Madaras. The picture on the cover shows a white woman cupping the face of a little girl, giving heavy tradwife vibes from the styling. In fairness, since this edition is from 1987, the vibes might be me imposing a current concept on an 80’s image, but I’m not convinced.

Overheard conversations are dangerous in this house. Especially when they're about me. Doing better at not having feelings around certain people, but it's clearly causing (expected) unease and increasing the traps. Not falling back in. Love to everyone setting boundaries. Keep safe.

Panel 2: 
Red Guy is almost out of the panel. He leans in and says “Enjoy getting left behind, pal”
Yellow Guy replies “ok”

Panel 3:
Yellow Guy stands alone.

Panel 4: 
Close up on Yellow Guy, there is a quiet “huff-huff-huff” noise coming from behind him

Panel 5:
Yellow Guy turns to look behind him

Panel 6: 
Close up on Yellow Guy’s face as if from the point of view of an attacker.
Yellow Guy yells “Jesus Christ”

Panel 7:
AI Red Guy is now chasing the Yellow Guy. 
Red Guy: “Use me”
Yellow Guy “No”
Red Guy “USE ME”

I just made my first mistake and like that there isn't a punitive X or end of game. It's nice being able to go back and figure out where you made the mistake and fix it.

And why do they even ask why you don't want to view the video if it doesn't matter how many times you click the "already viewed" option. The algorithm programming is broken. I have exactly one guess how that might have happened. You clearly hit on something that's been bugging me lol.

Maybe that's it. Maybe this is peak YT for normal people. It's just, I want to use their product. I'm trying so hard and they have to do nothing! The content is there already, but it's like someone's getting weird (bad) kicks out of pushing every AI thumb-nailed identical video at me.

Tonight's squirrel eye sunset. This squirrel was on a tree little bit deeper in the park , so you have a more robust view of trees in front of it, and due to the angle there's a little bit of a selfie in there.
A squirrel eye, on the left side there's the tree it's perched on, I'm basically in the center below the sunset and the other trees in front of it

Never thought getting an unexpected check in the mail could piss me off this much. The delusional letter accompanying it didn't help. My insurance went up by 50% in a single year. The check isn't close to covering my premium for a single month. They really thought we'd be happy with crumbs. #ACA

I want to throw things at the screen every time I see a polymarket ad. Then I remember, unlike the rich people in them, I don't have the $ to replace my electronics.

Intrusive thoughts/images have started, so I need to mute the heartbreaking Christa Pike situation along with local news stations. It's horrific. Repost of how to mute below since daily trauma takes its toll. Please take care of yourselves.
