I know this is about capitalism but it's also about my knees

god yeah both also both together? (we have: a structural issue with the connective tissue of my knees + the structure of capitalism demanding my unceasing labor despite pain -> drs/bosses/society responding “have you tried losing weight? have you tried exercise? have you tried shutting up? personal choices.”) capitalism or knees or capitalism and knees (and disability) anyways Im not bitter queue and I

growing up queer in an ultra-conservative southern evangelical church gives you deeply ingrained guilt, shame, and grief that haunts you long into your adulthood, sure

but it ALSO gives you the bunny, the bunny, oooh I love the bunny I gave everything that I had for the bunny I don't want no health food when it's time to feed a big bag o' bunnies is all that I need

compulsory abledness also (partially) explains why disability aids are forced onto some people and denied from others

prosthetic limbs are forced onto amputees whether they want them or not because the goal is to make disabled people look as abled as possible. whereas, all sorts of people who would benefit from mobility aids are often denied them until it’s a “last resort” because! you guessed it! the goal is to make us look as abled as possible

neither person in this situation is privileged. it’s just that the same harmful phenomenon impacts different groups in different ways

weirdest part about being an artist (and, to an extent, a writer too) is feeling like. shameful that you aren't creating massive pieces of art. how dare i not line and color and shade every drawing. how dare i only draw two poses. how dare i only write 1k words. how dare i not write an entire book. how dare i

(looking at the near 1k pieces of art in my folder and the thousands of words in my notes) you know i just don't think i do enough actually

my mom is a fiber artist has been making amazing cross stitches since I was little (I have a 2 ft cross stitch of a degas painting hanging on my wall that she made) sews some of her own clothing (including historical costuming) and made me dresses as a child quilts (stopped for years but is back into it recently) and has recently been getting back into knitting after 30ish years away from it and we were at a yarn store recently where she tried to brush off the owners question by saying she 'wasnt really a knitter just learning' and I had to be like mom. youve been knitting for the last 3 years. youve made our entire family hats and scarves and washclothes and shawls everytime we talk about it she says it isnt 'real art' despite making a mountain of BEAUTIFUL artistic quilts and crossstitches and clothes and so on she just thinks it isnt 'enough' to count it breaks my heart anyway: artists (of all forms) you are amazing and I am cheering on every single thing you make queue and I

As a European, I knew Americans have been asking for walkable cities but i had no idea it was literally this hostile

yeah Houston's particularly bad at this especially since our public transit is almost nonexistant there are buses but theyre 1. few and far between 2. wildly unreliable and 3. often double/triple/quadruple your trip time (literally ive looked up a bus route between locations in houston before and found that what would be a 10 min car ride was an hour walk or an hour and 45 min bus ride) and all that in 90-105 degree weather for like 5ish months of the year queue and I I love to drive but our country's car culture is horrifying ableist classist and environmentally disasterous
