Gotta love when thinking about your disability triggers it.

I just got home from a pretty good day and thought, "I haven't ticed today," and immediately had one of the worst tic attacks I've had in a while.

Yoooooooo! Here's a life update nobody asked for,

🔹️I got validated for testosterone and the only thing I have left to do is go to a fertility clinic appointment to be informed about potential fertility preservation, which is gonna happen in september, and then I just have to email my endocrinologist to get my prescription :D

🔹️I am getting moved to psychiatric adult services, which means I am getting a new psychiatrist (I have my first appointment in late august ^^), knowing that I fucking hated my last psychiatrist, I am very happy!

🔹️I have bought new micro-SD cards for my camera, so it is now in working condition!

(I also have a new electronic kettle, and a new USB key, and a new computer charger, and a new cable for my TV screen. And guess what? I GOT THEM ALL HALF PRICE AND THEY ALL WORK!!!)

🔹️I have finished subtitling The Real Will Wood in french so I could show it to my dad and he liked the movie!!! (It took me months to subtitle, and my dyslexic ass made a ridiculous amount of mistakes, but I did it, and I'm proud of myself!)

🔹️I JUST GOT MY NAME CHANGE APPROVED

🔹️I officially got my autism diagnosis, and now I just need to fill my disability forms to be recognised as not only disabled but a disabled-worker :D! I'll also get 1000€ in disability checks to pay for a none-reimbursed type of therapy (Filling the forms is still gonna take a little bit, cause the MDPH is a bitch, but at least I got that ball rolling)

🔹️I passed my end of year tests (had a shitty grade, but at least I did them)

That's it for now but I'm really proud of myself :)

I’ve been dealing with chronic pain in my everywhere (but worst in my spine, neck, jaw, head, and joints) and chronic nausea and vomiting AND constant exhaustion and I’m over here invalidating myself that I have chronic illness cuz it still hasn’t been diagnosed yet.

Anyone else?

People who go on and on about how AI art is an accessibility tool are the ones you can 100% GUARANTEE don't follow or know any disabled artists.

There are artists without hands that hold paint brushes with their feet, their are blind people who sculpt, there are people with chronic pain that have their own break schedules, etc.

But you know what AI art generators do? They steal from disabled artists. They dehumanize them and then claim they're making a tool to help them. They see you as a "style" not a person.

Would it be too far to say that the rise of AI art has only made our consumer culture worse and made A LOT of people think they are entitled to someone else's work just because it's "available"? I'll let you decide.

I guess I know the project I will do, once I have everything with a place to stay and what not figured out.

I will create a website called "Behindert, und nun?" (German for: "Disabled, what now?") collecting ressources where you can get public funded support, when you become unexpectedly disabled.

Germany has a lot of support networks going for that. Like, most cities have some agency that makes sure you can fairly quickly get a new home when you suddenly need a wheelchair or stuff like that - no matter how badly the housing market is. There is agencies setting you up with other support organizations and what not. And with the wheelchair (talking about this, because it is what I need right now myself) there is also stuff like wheelchair driving lessons and everything.

The issue is just that NOBODY FUCKING KNOWS ABOUT IT.

Most disabled people in Germany never even find out about all the different kinds of benefits they can get from the state. Because it is more than just the disability benefits - there are quite a few different types of benefits you can get. And the main issue is, that there really is no central ressource that collects this information. The information what kind of stuff you have the right to get and how to get it.

So, time to do what I do best and create a ressource I get.

My city's disability agency loved the idea, so I might even get funding for it.

But I also gotta say: No matter how burned out on phone calls I am right now, I also notice how much phone calls are like a super power in my situation. Because it is sadly due to the lack of information a clusterfuck in some regards. And the ability to phone an agency and go: "Alright, this is my issue, how can you help me?" And when they say: "I am sorry, that is not the area we are responsible for," to be able to say: "That's alright. Do you happen to know, who might be responsible for it?" Because it turns out, most people will at least try to help you.

But I am aware not everyone can do that. And as I said, I am just... so happy, when I can go back to just... working.

GOOD MORNING HI

I have creative block so I wish to ask you

Would the Cains fw deaf people / how do they interact w/ people that have disabilities

absolutely!

All the Cains would 100% fw people with disabilities!

Crown would likely be the most upfront about his support.

Connors would likely act more brash, but nonetheless care;

And Crest would try his best to support them in any way he can!

They would ensure that the ship is accessible for everyone. Plans would also be modified to ensure that everyone is able to participate!

Crown and Crest know sign language, whereas Connors would write messages down for them or use body language to convey their meaning.

The Cains would also likely have Eartrumpets for their partial-deaf crewmates!

These were used in the 1800s as hearing aids to amp the speakers volume in order for deaf people to hear better!

They all would help with varying ways, but nonetheless care and support them in the best ways they can! :D

Thanks for asking this; as it actually inspired me to research more on disability aids in the past, when Arcane Odyssey would be taking place!

I am walking on the edge of a knife, so close to slipping but I can't allow myself. my health is crumbling and I can't grasp the pieces as they fall anymore. I cannot control my eyes as they slip shut again, I cannot get my reflexes to cooperate as I reach, I am not quick enough to prevent this. there was no preventing this. left to flail my way, only half alive, only waiting for the moment when I can choose to let myself go, only hoping that tomorrow will be different. and I'm slowly losing that hope, it's slipping away like everything else.
