related to my last post but a lot of the examples i listed of ways that cops might arrest wheelchair users (lifting us out of our chairs, trashing our chairs, etc) are really fucking dangerous for wheelchair users and can lead to severe injury or death!

it's dangerous for untrained people to try to attempt a lift, especially when they don't fucking care about protecting your safety and might have already beat you up. for wheelchair users who have specific positioning and seating needs, getting placed in a basic jail provided wheelchair might lead to pressure sores, neck injuries, dislocations, and more.

as a wheelchair user who's gotten beaten up by cops multiple times, this shit can turn serious really fucking fast.

having as much information as possible means that we can make more informed decisions about what risks we can take, advocate for our currently incarcerated comrades, and can prepare for the kind of support we might need after an arrest.

i am really tired of abled organizers refusing to acknowledge, consider, or support their disabled comrades i truly have no patience for it! especially because it also ignores the reality that outside of protests, there are also wheelchair users getting arrested for all sorts of shit that also need informed and active jail support, instead of just being treated like we don't exist at all. lmfao.

I took my little brother (autistic, mostly non verbal) out and he was using his voice keyboard to tell me something, and this little boy (maybe 4 or 5?) heard him and asked me "Is he a robot??" I tried to explain to him that no, he isn't a robot, he just communicates differently, but my darling brother was in the background max volume "I am robot I am robot I am robot I am robot"

really everyone you love has something miserably wrong with them or an obvious flaw that won't ever be fixed but like it's up to you what kind of person you can and cannot deal with. someone in my family has anger issues which I can handle and diffuse with no problem, but a person who can't tolerate yelling could not be close to him. another person I know is very anxious & needs constant reassurance and she gets along famously with gentler and more straightforward people than myself, but I can't handle being second guessed all the time. someone who is loosey goosey with their morals wouldn't bother me, but a person with a profound sense of justice makes me feel afraid of getting on their bad side. none of these traits actually make someone a bad person & just because there are personalities I can't handle doesnt mean I'M a bad person either. litany against callout posts for stupid shit and simple incompatibilities we all have to live on this earth together & need to learn how to deal with each other

hello. glad to hear you feeling better. oh I do need balls, enough to fill my room where balls falling into my house from each wall without I drown in it of course (((: about the sparks album well I hadn't got chance to listen to all the tracks. it's more matter of me not being in mod, I rather to not sit with music but silence still summer is near and I come around soon to listen the albulm and we discuss about it. for now I can say about doing things my own way brought another type of balls to me when released back in Feb. It gave me 'not that well defined' and 'it doesn't have to be that way' like yeah I take my time to do things but rather follow a general thought of society I handle it on my own way failing or not at least I own the decision, this is ironic btw just like in music video when we about to go on way that doesn't fit in system we start argument with ourselves, we take more time convincing ourselves rather the outside world, it's a duel!

Drowned In A Sea Of Balls! 🔴🟡🟢🔵⚪⚫ (Sorry, a bit of dark Sparks humour going on here.) I know I'm replying super late, I hope things are looking up a bit more by now.

I totally get being in the mood for silence, I go through times like those a lot as well. Silence is so good and it's too rare in my opinion.

I love that Do Things My Own Way resonated with you in such a good way. I really love your take on the music video too, about trying to convince oneself instead of the outside. I don't think I understood the storytelling of all of it yet, I was just enjoying watching it (...was perpetually busy smiling about Russell's kpop dance moment haha, must have been so much fun! And when he walks away from it, just *so cool*! Also love it every time Ron comes crashing from the sky.)

Anyway take your time, take good care of yourself, have some extra Balls (here they are: 🔴🟡🟢🔵) and feel free to send an ask whenever you're ready 🌞

(I'll probably have a lot to talk about the next time haha, I'm currently literally at the airport. I can't quite believe it but I'll be seeing them tomorrow!)

what "no sugar added" should mean: the natural sugars of the other ingredients like fruit are the only source of sweetness in this product

what is actually means: we added a fuckton of artificial sweeteners

"As of midnight on Sunday, June 15, we have data from about 40% of No Kings Day events held yesterday, accounting for over 2.6m attendees. According to our back-of-the-envelope math, that puts total attendance somewhere in the 4-6 million people range. That means roughly 1.2-1.8% of the U.S. population attended a No Kings Day event somewhere in the country yesterday."
