I rarely wear dresses out in public. I wore one, today. Photos from Mom 💞
#Ableist bullies/rude jerks are why I don't wear dresses out in public much. I will wear what I want, when I have enough spoons to deal with public bullies. It always happens because I'm visibly disabled & even more so, when I wear anything that shows my dual long leg braces. I didn't go to public beaches for 30 years because people would point out all my surgical scars & question me about my atrophied legs & other super disrespectful crap. I couldn't deal with that - constantly.
I tried going to public beaches to relax. Not to be targeted as abnormal & be treated awfully. I only go to secluded spots now.
One thing I got a lot of, from ignorant public who have said outright rude & blatant #ableist shit like some of the below, for decades 👇
- You're too pretty to be disabled. *mega WTAF*
- You move like you're not disabled at all. *🖕*
- You're not like other disabled people. *We're not a monolith*
- How much of your body is paralyzed? *Only misogynistic men have asked this before getting to know me*
- I can help you our with everything! *When I'm capable of taking care of things & will only ask for external help when truly needed.
- This is more of an ableist action more than words -> when they try doing things to help me that I never asked for, doesn't really help me & they get angry when I ask them to please ask me, before trying to help me because sometimes help from people who don't communicate well with me - ends up costing me more time/energy to deal with/resolve/diffuse.
I want & need help sometimes. Please don't think you know how better you can help me - when you've not invested any genuine time to try to know me better, first.
I actually want to do a secretly filmed #SocialExperiment offline to show folks how differently I'm treated when hiding my visible physical disabilities & how I'm treated when public can see the metal cages/leg braces that I have to wear on daily basis. I know from my own life/personal experiences that I was treated VERY differently - depending on if people could see my leg braces or not.

Did the rise of documentaries coincide with the boom in “reality” tv shows?
Good question.
Interesting that war movies declined when as we became more warlike.

Most Americanisms just glide over me these days, I'm very used to them, but the one I think never will is "criss-cross applesauce". We have the phrase "criss-cross" here, it doesn't need the rest?

Hey fedi, what's some good simple mapmaking software? I want to make a map similar to old school mud maps. Maybe I should just do a simple ASCII map.

One man died under suspicious circumstances when arriving on Agathonisi
This morning at first light, Aegean Boat Report was contacted by a group of people who needed assistance after having arrived on the Greek island of Agathonisi.
Several of the people who contacted us from the group, reported that they had been chased towards land by a vessel from the Greek coast guard, and said "they ran us over with their boat"
What really happened is atm not clear, did the boat hit the rocks on the way to shore, and people fell overboard, did people jumped from the boat in an desperate effort to get quickly to land, or did the Greek coast guard actually drive over them?
What we know is that a man was hit by a propeller in the lower back, resulting in a severe injury that eventually killed him, whose propeller, coast guard or refugee speedboat, we can’t say for sure, but the circumstances should be investigated by an independent party, and definitely not the coast guard.
We later learned that the man had been left behind on the shore, while the rest of the group moved away from the arriving area to higher ground. We received gruesome pictures of his injuries, with the description “he was barely breathing, but now the coast guard has taken him away”.

There’s no other feeling like rocking up to a lake, nailing one of the first shots you attempt, looking at in on the back of the camera, knowing without a shadow of a doubt that this will be today’s keeper no matter how many others you take, packing up and heading to a coffee shop.

The AC hasn't come on once today now that most of the heat emitting stuff is downstairs. The only problem is Monday is an "energy action day" and it's going to make me look like a good doobie saving energy for the environment.
I only have so much laundry. Maybe I'll load up the dishwasher, bake a pie, and turn this place into an ice box for the heck of it.

Sometimes on twitter I’ll look at an account of someone I have no memory of interacting with and it shows the thing saying they blocked me.
That’s fine. But then usually I want to know what stupid retarded shit I posted got them to do it.
Anyone remotely grounded in life can instantly see I’m almost fully just fucking around and it’s not serious.
"Since this morning, Israel has killed 48 Palestinians in Gaza — 37 while seeking food at U.S.-backed aid centers, and 11 in strikes on tents sheltering displaced families in the north."

Do you remember that scene from the first famine in northern Gaza?
When people were forced to eat animal fodder because it was the only option to survive…
Today, in the second famine, even the fodder has disappeared.
Yes, #animal_fodder has become a dream we chase to stay alive!
