It’s probably an odd thing to write a blog post about. But the reason I’m doing this is because I’ve written blog posts in the past about NaNoWriMo and seeing as I no longer feel like it’s ethical to support the organisation, it feels weird to just leave the posts up with no notes. Leaving […]
This is my life
Real or not real?
Is it a common experience that people have been trying to speak for you your whole life? I don’t know if this happens to everyone, happens to no one and it’s part of the bad parts of my life, or happens to people in age appropriate ways eg in childhood and lessens through teen hood. […]
Good Creativity Guides
Good Creativity Guides Are there any books on creativity that are a) non dictatorial FOLLOW MY LEAD AND DO ALL MY STEPS OR ELSE and b) non ableist I CAN’T WORK HARD SO WHERE DOES THAT LEAVE ME? A) is kind of interesting. In online business circles people are finally starting to wake […]
Disabled Resilience
I’m having a very frustrating day today, and I think what makes it frustrating is the layers. It’s the layers of expecting to have to deal with shitty humans on top of your shitty body. Why? Can we not catch a break? Everyone wants to celebrate the resilience of people with a disability, but no […]
Quality Obligation
I was reading a book that talked only about sharing things that were helpful. Not the first time I’ve read that and seen it demanded of all social media users. The problem is, it applies (badly) to BUSINESS social media. And it leaves out the human and social sides. Social media remember, […]
What if I don’t want to work anymore?
This is a tweet I shared last year. If you were around me in 2023 you know I’ve been through mega fucking piles of fucking ableist wank bullshit. (And yes, that’s the nicest way I can put it.) I’m starting a blog post on an “unacceptable” topic: What if I don’t want to work […]
Murders of Sand
This came to me via terrible YouTube captioning. It was supposed to say “emergency decent” but yeah… too bad if you have anything other than a perfect American accent when it comes to audio auto captions. I just really liked it. It would make a good book title. I’m not sure what the book would […]
Not disabled enough
I had a flash back to reading an enterprise bargaining agreement. I know, I have had a wild life. Part of the agreement included a way to kick people out of the university based on health. It did mention that if you’re going through this process, you should engage with your super fund to see if […]
Asking for permission sucks
Was chatting to a friend about library books & she suggested I try neighbour shire card (or something to that effect) but all info says you need to show ID in person. Not helpful for a housebound person. Am so sick of being left out. Now I’m left out of ebooks for fucks sake. […]
No fun at work
Recently I saw someone reshare the Vice article from a couple of years back where someone won a lawsuit saying that their employer couldn’t force them to do fun things. And I think a lot of people were joking about it. I mean, a lot of people don’t like their team building activities and […]
