It's so weird talking to people who's view of "here's the way life is for everyone" is shattered as soon as they talk to someone with disabilities (physical, mental illness, any). Like you'll say you'll have a problem and instead of helping you they'll argue with you about how you're not actually facing that problem. Like,

Me: Hey, I'm really struggling to find a job and a part of it is my resume. I was depressed & psychotic during highschool so I didn't do anything to gain skills or achievements to put on my resume. I also don't have anyone to put as a reference. What can I do?

Them: You can add your skills, hobbies, clubs you're in, and different volunteer work you've done! You can also get your teacher as a reference.

Me: I already know what to put on a resume, my issue is that I don't have things that I can use. Also, I'm in my mid 20s so I don't know if I can put my highschool teacher as a reference.

Them: Well if you're a part of a church or an activity group, you could add that. Also, think of any projects you've worked on in the past.

Me: I already know you can put these things on a resume. I'm not looking for suggests of things I've already done, I'm looking for what I can do now if I haven't done anything.

Them: There's no way you didn't do anything during highschool?? What about some odd jobs you definitely did for extra money, like babysitting or mowing the lawn?

Me: I spent all of highschool either in modified classes or in bed doing nothing - not even hobbies, what about that do you not understand?

And then you talk to someone who's also disabled and they're like "Here's a bunch of jobs you can do from home that don't pay much but look good on a resume, here's some free online courses that also look good on a resume, here's how you can be making small amounts of money in the meantime, here's some things you can put besides a professional reference, and here are your rights if your future employer tries to take advantage of your disability - which you probably shouldn't tell them about unless you need accommodations."

And suddenly my will to continue trying returns!

With the ides of march fast approaching we must be prepared

Please reblog to make sure everyone is equipped!

HEARTGLASS needs your help!

"Everybody has a story. Everybody is a story."

Heartglass is a unique, lovingly crafted audio drama with compelling characters and immersive design. Enter a town plagued by storms and otherworldly forces, and follow three desperate strangers as they seek the truth behind the strange tragedy that took their loved ones.

The creator has funded most of the production himself, but needs your help to complete the story! Check out the Kickstarter to listen to the first half of Episode 1, and get months-early access to the full episode:

Heartglass: A Modern Mythology

An audio fiction podcast about love, loss & giving 'em hell.

Now, I might be biased because I'm part of this show, but I've gotten a peek at the epic story, fantastic music, and lush sound design at work here, and this show is going to be really special. I play Allan Coleman, one of three people killed in a supernatural incident, who now spends his afterlife working at an ice cream shop in Hell. Allan is a trans man who is trying his damnedest to just have a normal one, despite the circumstances. I love these characters, and I've had so much fun already with lending my voice to Allan.

The campaign still has a ways to go to meet its goal by Feb. 28. Please consider helping to bring Heartglass to life!
