someone with speech difficulties is not "refusing to speak" to piss you off specifically. whether someone is able to speak or not is completely out of their control, and I can promise that you getting annoyed at them (or choosing to ignore their other communication methods) isn't helping
I need to rant, feel free to ignore.
Ok so
Every year I go to camp
I have been going for 4-5 years but last year due to COVID the session got canceled.
This was devastating to me because this camp is my second home, it brings me the most joy a location can.
I was absolutely stoked that I would be able to go this summer with some adjustments for COVID.
Until I found out that this’ll be the last summer.
My camp is part of this bigger organization that does a lot for its communities since it’s start but has been really going through it over the span of COVID and because they simply can’t afford to function with all of there locations, there closing most of them, including my camp.
This is my last summer.
I’ll never get to be a LIT.
I’ll never get to finish raggers.
I’ll never get to see my counselors again.
The turmoil this brings me isn’t something I like to show, but I need to get it all out.
I’m sorry.
Hey y’all!
I’m about to make a website for an organization I’m creating to help those with hidden/invisible disabilities and illnesses.
I want to be able to make this website accessible for people with all types of conditions and wanted to reach out on here to get any suggestions from people with those types of conditions.
I also created an Instagram for the organization but it’s still in the very early stages so I won’t be sharing yet…
Let me know if you have any suggestions or questions!
I Will head canon Frankie Stein with Ehlers Danlos Hypermobility and no one will stop me.
Soooooooo
I’m making my official recommendation for the girl of the year 2025 (I know 2024 just started but I’m down a rabbit hole right now)
So a lot of us are upset about the fact that there’s a continual of variety in all of the lines that American Girls produces (other than World by us, which is currently one sale and I think that says something)
I know we mostly focus on race but I personally would also like to see so more disability representation (they don’t even have a walking stick or cane available)
So, my suggestion is an Albino girl of African descent with a beautiful Afro who is blind. She could have an interest in anything (I like the idea that she’s a writer) but maybe give her a story about how she stands against the ableism, racism and hairism of the world. There are still little girls who get sent home from school because of their natural hair.
I personally think this would be a beautiful chance to share educate kids of all walks of life about the challenges all types of people face.
Anyway. I was thinking about it.
(Unrelated but I’m about to snatch up an Evette and I’m so excited cause I love her design so much and am so excited to read her story)
it's okay to use things that are typically associated with young children. diapers, bibs, pacifers, sippy cups, velcro shoes, onesies, stuffed animals, toys, etc. there's no shame in finding joy and comfort in these things, or using them as disability and neurodivergence aids. it's your life. it's your happiness. it's your wellbeing. that's all that should matter - not what people who don't have your best interest in mind think.
A drag performer who inspires me?
Oh it would haaaave to be Todrick Hall.
I absolutely adore his works and his music.
Honestly I don’t know that many real drag queens as I wasn’t allowed to watch that kinda content growing up, so mostly I have discovered drag content to watch in the last two years.
Despite my drag ocs...
The team found that a section of the brain just behind the forehead lighted up with a low hum of electrical activity when the study participants were feeling chronic pain. But when participants touched a hot probe, another region of the brain was active, indicating that fleeting pain from an injury operates differently from chronic pain.
“Chronic pain is actually its own separate disease that is not simply an extension of pain in general,” said study author Dr. Prasad Shirvalkar, a pain physician and neurologist at University of California San Francisco Medical Center.
The study is a step toward an objective, universal measure of pain in a patient, Shirvalkar said, to augment the current method available to doctors: asking patients to rank their discomfort on a scale.
