this is the thing about any of these platforms. they're always going to be run by people who have the power and money to do so. idk what the answer is im just tired of how we've been rounded up into jars like this.

Let someone with a psychotic disorder rap to you. A delusion is a false conviction you hold utterly & it's usually very strange to a sane person. Like when I thought I was a reincarnated goddess who could communicate telepathically. Fascists are not delusional. They are LYING. Lies vs. delusions.

Currently sitting at $195/$645. Only $450 left to go to cover bills! I'm going to start overdrafting on the 10th if I can't raise a chunk of it before.

Plz help this disabled queer trans person keep the utilities on? TYSM!

A lined drawing of two women; one is a pink-furred firbolg with long, dark pink hair and blue antler horns, wearing a yellow top and pink skirt. On her shoulders is a woman with pale skin and black and red split-dye hair, holding a bisexual Pride flag.

A papercraft-style illustration of a werelion girl with short brown hair and blue eyes. She is wearing plate armor with a red cape, wielding a sword with flower motifs on it, looking confident and ferocious. The art is made to imitate cut and layered paper, with lots of texture and sticker stars dotted around.

A lined reference sheet of a male humanoid character with dark brown and navy fur and birdlike feet. He has bright blue eyes, black sclera, silver and gold horns, dark hair with gray streaks, many scars, and lots of gold jewelry. His hair is styled in several braids and he has a long bushy tail. Above his head is a stylized crown shape that has snowflakes falling from it. He is shown from the front and back and in two different outfits, one casual and one leather and chainmail armor. There are close-ups of his face and all his jewelry pieces.

An illustration of a DnD party sitting down to an elaborate meal. At the table are a goat centaur, a shadar-kai elf, a loxodon, two harpies, a kobold, a dog-shark hybrid, and a human. Lots of home-cooked food is laid on the table and all are filling their plates; the kobold, the chef, carries a large roast chicken to the table as the dog-shark snatches meat off of an adjacent plate. The atmosphere is warm, lively, and cozy, with warm lighting and lots of natural wood and plant life around.

Covid is rampant right now so please get the newest booster if you haven't yet. I have multiple friends and a neighbor with covid right now. The pharmacist might still ask in person if you're high risk (I wasn't asked, my partner was) but you don't have to give details or proof and just say yes.

Alex de Campi @alexdecampi.bsky.social · 8d

To clarify: you currently do not need to say WHY or HOW you qualify for each vaccine if you schedule online at a CVS or a Walgreens. You just tick a box and they trust you. The pharmacist administering the shot won’t ask either

You can get 3-4 vaccines at once

Alex de Campi @alexdecampi.bsky.social · 8d

If you need vaccines (25-26 Covid booster, flu, pneumonia, etc), CVS is currently very much doing a “tick this box if you qualify for this vaccine” method of self-verification for online vaccine scheduling so GO GET YOUR SHOTS before this CDC stuff gets more insane

The disability community needs your solidarity to fight the tariff threat to prescription drugs.

Trump claims he will reduce drug prices by 1000%... which is mathematically impossible.

He's putting a 100% tariff on drugs made outside the US. That IS mathematically possible & it will devastate us.
