making a new link to my gfm since the goal has decreased! we are currently just below 30% of the goal and once we hit the $1100 mark, my out-of-pocket surgery costs should be just about covered. thank you so much to everyone who's donated/shared so far <3 please keep spreading the word!

More grace for a grown man getting a Nazi tattoo than Black kids in public spaces. It’s obscene.

i'm like 99% sure my silksong playthrough is going so slowly because i am incapable of leaving a quick travel room without sufficiently petting her (hitting her with my nail until she stomps her feet happily)

unfortunately I'm currently at risk of being homeless within about 2 weeks time. i have a few leads on housing, but nothing guaranteed. im currently looking to raise hopefully 1200 dollars in preparation of the worst. i don't expect all of it, but anything helps.

my woke take is that entirely too many people feel entitled to the benefits of a social contract while not feeling bound by the responsibilities of said contract

this wouldn't be a problem for a guy like me with a 5tb hard drive but i don't steal so i have no idea what it's like to torrent the entirety of er (1994) for 7 hours and still have it be at 25% progress

shut your eyes or you'll burst into flames @karhidish.bsky.social · 1d

i went to the legal television show store to get the complete series for er and the legal television show store clerk told me that if i had been evil and torrented it instead it would've been 424gb of hard drive space

and that doesn't change even if you tell yourself it's just how you treat yourself. it is an extension of your worldview and the people affected by that worldview will respond accordingly. true disability allyship means teaching yourself to fucking rest.

shut your eyes or you'll burst into flames @karhidish.bsky.social · 2d

is that a little bit a me problem? sure, no doubt. but think about it through the lens of fatphobia: just like it's a dick move to insult your own size in front of a friend that's twice your weight, it's a dick move to say you're lazy for doing twice in a day what your friend is capable of.

shut your eyes or you'll burst into flames @karhidish.bsky.social · 2d

i consider myself relatively able-bodied (putting aside that that in itself is a spectrum) but i struggle with fatigue and headaches esp pre-cpap. sometimes i need a Lot of sleep. and it's upsetting when others lambast themselves for "laziness" for like, napping.

shut your eyes or you'll burst into flames @karhidish.bsky.social · 2d

if you constantly drive yourself this way you are accepting the idea that not doing so is a moral failing and that constant productivity is the only way to be deserving of respect or even life. perhaps not consciously, but that's the logical endpoint when you really interrogate it.

this isn't to suggest that people who do this are Bad People. i think it's hard to avoid under capitalism, and sadly sometimes it is necessary for survival--but that last point is important when considering there are people who can't, and that's why capitalism kills disabled people so much.

grinding yourself down to the dust and being resistant to breaks/rest/basic care of your body isn't just bad for your own sake but bc engaging in this shit all the time is indicative of deep internalized ableism and if you are able-bodied you have probably alienated a disabled person by doing it

i haven't had the heart to fully nuke my account so sometimes i go back there wondering if it's really as bad as i'm remembering and it always is

i'm getting some silicone gel but i don't mind my scars being noticeable and also my surgeon was very upfront with me that it's not worth dropping a bunch of cash on this. it's just wild to see the skincare industry plague of "if i buy five products i will defeat my genetics" manifest like this

shut your eyes or you'll burst into flames @karhidish.bsky.social · 2d

seeing guys on these top surgery forums talking about how they're spending $100-$200 on scar care products...bro all my love but truly could not be me i already spend more on regular skincare than i want to 😭

So, it's worth remembering *a lot* of just outright false bs about radicals spreads during times like this.

Case in point: I have seen far, far more condemnations of leftists and anarchists supposedly discouraging people from the rallies yesterday than I have any radicals actually doing so...

especially because the funny costumes came from much higher-risk protests at ice facilities that have involved more direct action and conflict with police 😭😭😭
