My partner is working on this collaborative project wherein he reaches out to singers and writers from marginalised parts of rural Bihar to create songs and perform live on the internet.

Join us next week for a session of anti-patriarchy & anti-caste songs of joy, defiance, and cool oral histories!

The poster mentions the title “they can’t make it” which is struck through (a jab at the men who say womenfolk aren’t good at anything) The date and time are October 5, 2pm-4pm IST. The artists writing and performing are Rita, Poonam, Radha, and Ruby
The session is organised and presented by Raju Ranjan and Zeropowercut (my partner’s artist name)

Not mentioned in image: English subtitles for the songs will be provided!

I’m just gonna say it, the way a lot of you throw around terms like brain damaged, psychotic, mentally unstable, moron, etc to describe the actions of horrible people is really disappointing. Check your ableist language.

As someone who has hypoxic brain damage from respiratory failure; the way a lot of you conflate any kind of brain injury and/or neurodivergence with immorality really fucking sucks.

Disability doesn't cause fascism. Colonialism, capitalism and white supremacy do.

Store is reopening on Tuesday next week, so I wanted to share some stuff that will be in the update 👀

We got bunny, horsie, shrimp charms for starters 🦐

I will only be having 10 of each charm in stock online because I'm also saving some for... events >:)

Barcelona folks! The Listening Biennial is in your city!
You can listen to 11 sound art pieces geolocated in specifically selected urban spaces: the city center, Montjuic, and the port of Barcelona.

Also, my partner's work will be at the zeropowercut geotag :3

"Generative" AI is anti-intellectual and fascist- it steals music, art, and literature only to hollow them out to their superficial characteristics and produce slop.

Write your feelings!
Read a book!
Draw something!

Creation and expression are radical acts in a world trying to dumb us down!

thank you Keri!! 🥺 I hope this will be the first of many more sessions to come! This is essentially a self-funded community-building effort to platform and encourage new expressions of lived experiences while also ensuring the artists are being compensated for their time and creative labour.

I’m at $150/$800

Im panicking because I spent all my money at his last appointment and he NEEDS this procedure. Please share. Please. He’s my family.

TheeAfroLesbian🌈 @zisshit.com · 15d

-$500 today at the vet. Unfortunately Carrots teeth have gotten worse. He has an infection so his procedure got moved up. If I don’t have the money *before* they will NOT help him. His surgery is now Oct. 15th. for $800. I already put $100 down.

$100/$800

That sounds scary, and I would totally quit on my meds too if I faced that situation 😭 I hope your doc helps you get alternate ADHD medication, and also checks you for any comorbidites like anxiety

Good luck, I hope it works out! 🤞🏽

10000% 🥳

Saloni | chaioverdose.com @chaioverdose.bsky.social · 12d

Damn, I'm so sorry to hear that :(
I hope you're able to find a professional who can help you get the meds and support you need

Saloni | chaioverdose.com @chaioverdose.bsky.social · 12d

So true! I'm 33 and I just got diagnosed last week! It really does feel like "would I have burned and crashed like I had, if I got the meds and support sooner?"
but at the same time, I am hopeful that at least the projects i take up now will have my undivided attention 💛

Saloni | chaioverdose.com @chaioverdose.bsky.social · 13d

It really is! I'm very happy for you too! :3

Saloni | chaioverdose.com @chaioverdose.bsky.social · 13d

So true! It’s like night and day! All these years my family just kept telling me I’m “normal” and “why not just try harder instead of being lazy”

Saloni | chaioverdose.com @chaioverdose.bsky.social · 13d

Oh wow, that’s awesome! Thank you for letting me know, I’m somehow relieved because I was afraid that I’ll develop a tolerance soon or something. I hope it keeps going good for you! 💛💛
