The local goat sanctuary posted this picture and its SO CUTE IM DYING

Hey, I'm a disabled queer who has been denied government support. Most of my income comes from commissions but since I suffered a significant back injury more than a week ago, i've mostly been out of commission (ha ha) while recovering and I'm already behind on my bills.

Anything to help would be greatly appreciated.

Reminder that if you think technology is just bad in itself and just doing without it is edgy or punk or whatever, you're probably being ableist.

I wear spectacles for my eyesight, and an exoskeleton on some joints, and have been pretty dependent on a bicycle as a mobility aid at various points in my life (and expect to be again). When I get to the point where leaving the house means using a powerchair, then I'll do that too.

Things like Alexa or whatever aren't terrible simply because they are convenient, it isn't immoral to find that some services make life easier. What is immoral is organising our society in such a way that the easiest and most accessible way for many people, especially oppressed people, to get things they need is to use corporations that treat people so badly.

And yes, boycotts can be part of reorganising things, but I'm still not going to ask e.g. my blind friend to stop using Amazon.

so i look up from my screen, and there's this happening

Going outside in Berlin doesn't feel like going outside, but like going into something else. 😷

Met the new guy at work today, he seems nice

found a blurry friend yesterday

because i gotta affirm this for myself:

"trans" just means "has a gender identity that doesn't align with what was assigned at birth"; it doesn't matter how that gender is expressed, it doesn't matter what, if any, professional or medical care is involved, it doesn't matter how happy or sad you are, it doesn't matter who else knows or cares or accepts it

i don't understand why i've been so reticent to claim this term for myself even as it is so screamingly obvious to me

Some friendly English birbs

From the vigil in front of the Berlin Jewish Community Center tonight. The transparent reads "against every (type of) antisitism."

For those who haven't heard, there was a nazi terrorist attack on a German synagogue today, killing at least two.

We as German society at large have failed our historical duty to prevent something like this to ever happen again!
