🧵I'm about a week into treatment for Lyme, and I've spent the majority of the last ten days in bed. I've lost almost $2000 of cleaning work in June alone. I have no idea if I should book work in July, because I don't know if I'll be well enough to work by then. #disabilty

Low key pissed off that Jobtread's CEO said they aren't going to consider remote accessibility for their annual conference in TX. By January of next year, it might not be safe for a disabled, trans person to go to a deep red state like TX, so I'm going to have to just not go. Majorly disappointed.

🧵 Using AI powered apps and LLM tools as accessibility aids for varying types of online/remote adult education and professional development. Getting comfortable with using AI. Asking about best practices in building projects, etc. Creating a meeting and webinar memory bank to reference back to.

I seriously need some sleep, but also my brain is bopping back and forth between several kinda important thought processes to be going through. I don't want to lose track of them, which is common with some of my memory issues, and also would deeply appreciate some input on a few different things.

Deeply frustrated with a situation at the office and I feel like I'm going to destroy my teeth by clenching my jaw this hard. It's time to go the fuck home, there's nothing more I can accomplish without forward movement and resources from someone else.

I poked my head into live streams throughout the day to see how it was going, and had the last couple hours of this streaming while I was working on spreadsheets tonight at the office. I'm not gonna lie, I cried when he was talking about John Lewis going into the 24 hour mark.
I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

It’s well known that I was on The Apprentice. We were all covered by NDAs at the time, but mine has now expired. And do I ever have some tea to spill. I’ll post it later today after consulting once again with my attorneys.

Today was my first official board meeting at the non profit. Got introduced to everyone, and I remember maybe half the names? They joked about a quiz but I'm seriously going to have to study their pictures before the next meeting 😅

Processing a lot about being present in my body, and the extremes I've gone to in chasing that. How I'm dissociated and disconnected from my physical body, addressing it as an entity separate from my self. I am not my body, I am more than just my body, the physical body is outside of my control.

Marathon day at the office. Still going. Getting so much accomplished though. Rebuilding my post it process layout (not yet pictured because it's still in progress) and color coded it with the colors I had on hand. Even created a key so other people might be able to understand it.

The problem with working in an office, is that I don't get to ask "hey what the fuck? How did you fuck this up so badly?" I have to be civil about it and say things like "I'm not even sure how you managed to do that, could you walk me through your thought process?" So frustrating. WTF WTF WTF

100% ready to scream. [Insert ranting about fucked up work shit that I can't fix and have to do some kludgy workaround for] also [more ranting about staff somehow fucking shit up, to the point where I have to do everything my damned self]
I'm clocking out, going home, and getting high.
