“Because the truth is, tech doesn’t have an image problem. It doesn’t have a message problem. It has an intention problem. What’s wrong with the axe murderer who broke into my house is not that he hasn’t successfully persuaded me to buy into his narrative. What’s wrong is that he’s trying to kill me with an axe. Similarly, when you launch a product that’s designed to put millions of people out of work, block access to sources of verifiable truth, replace human creativity with slop, and lower the barriers to every sort of atrocity, the problem isn’t that you haven’t told the public a good story about those things. The problem is that you are trying to do them.”

no one fucking tells you this so here it is:

when signing out forms to apply for disability / filling out a form for diagnosis

you’re supposed to fill it out as you on your worst days

like, I filled out forms that said I could do most things usually

like, my doctor added in the conditions like “yeah, they can feed themselves when not stressed” “they can do this when not stressed”

but how I should have filled it out was more like

“some days I can’t feed myself” “some days I can’t leave the house”

My doctor didn’t even know this, but I talked to someone who had worked with people with both developmental and intellectual disabilities for a number of years, and she told me to write down how it is for your bad days

this should be a thing they tell you, but it isn’t

part of the reason I didn’t get my autism diagnosis as soon as I should have is because I filled out forms wrong!

This also goes for filling out forms for disabled parking rights. I’ve been rejected multiple times for a pass cause I didn’t find this out till recently.

Also you’re generally supposed to fill it out as you are without help.

That throws me too. Because the more help I get, the more capable I get. It’s easy to forget what happens when the help falls away even partially let alone completely.

Operation New Chair

Okay, so... doing a lil fundraiser to replace my damaged adirondack in Bug's pen so I can sit out in the pen comfortably once the weather's a bit nicer. The old one (which was admittedly a cheap-o one Sark got on sale) cracked under taking sun damage for like 2 years straight in the pens (RIP you did your best little chair, you can be a bird chair now). The more solid, polywood ones that shouldn't suffer that kind of brittleness or rot out in the pens like wood are around $220 by me.

And to get there, I'm going to offer Bug Therapy!

What is Bug Therapy?

For $1, I will assign a problem/worry/person's name of your choosing to a blueberry or grape, and film one of the birds eliminating it from existence. You may also choose to wish upon the fruit or imbue it with a hope instead, to be transformed into energy. I will send the video to you afterward.

For $2, I will do the same, but with a cockroach (not all of them trust roaches are edible, so selection on who gets it may be limited).

For $5, you can hop into a 10 minute video call with Bug the peahen (between 8am and 7pm eastern time, she is asleep otherwise), and tell her all your problems, hopes/dreams, story plots, or just hang out. I will put on noise canceling headphones with some music and make sure the video stays on her, but otherwise, what you tell her is between you and the bird (and probably the bird's daughter, I have no control over that chaos). Calls will be limited to 30 minutes at a time total, but you're welcome to do multiple calls in 10, 20, or 30-minute chunks across multiple days.

I can combine the two, and give the fruit/roach to Bug for you on the call if you want.

Due to me not wanting to overload a single bird on treats, I may have to spread out treat-giving but you can get as many of them as you want. Due to me not wanting to sit outside in the cold all day and Bug's attention span being short, I will probably limit Bug to 2 sessions a day.

If by miracle I get enough people interested in doing treats/calls that I can pay for the chair, I will start a waitlist in case someone cancels, OR pick a new goal (like an actually good camera so I can take better pics/videos!) if this is popular enough.

To get started, please send an e-mail to longfeatherlane at gmail.com with info on which one(s) you want to do, so I can keep track of details easier. I will likely be taking payment through paypal or ko-fi (and I might be able to take venmo but don't quote me), either when I get to you on the list for calls, or when I note you down for treats.

For those of you that might see this and don't know who Bug is, she is a lovely creature who is very gentle and sweet.

i genuinely have no animosity towards ppl who get upset abt not being able to read academic texts + i do think we need to expand the pathways/methods of being exposed to critical concepts so that "sit + read for 2 hours" is not the only option.

however, as someone dx with adhd + incapable of sitting still for even a minute (actually right at this moment i am writing this instead of reading the book sitting open in front of me), i do feel like a lot of ppl do not realize that not all readings are designed to be read like a novel.

as in, it's ok + normal + good to need to reread a paragraph several times, to only read part of a book, to have to research or reference words or concepts in order to grasp the reading, to skip over large chunks of text which are not relevant to your expertise, to continue reading despite not understanding a concept. this is something 'neurotypical' academics do frequently + many of these texts, especially contemporary ones, were designed with this in mind.

there are many ppl with accessibility needs that are not being met by academic texts at this time! many texts (in my humble opinion) are unnecessarily complex in order to show off or hide the fact that they have no idea what they're talking about.

i still feel like many of the kneejerk reactions on this site are based on the assumption that their experience reading academic texts should be similar to their experiences reading a nyt bestseller, rather than a process of thinking, analyzing, researching, processing, returning. some of u are telling yourself that any challenges u face while reading are a result of some internal fault u have + not an expected + precious part of the experience.
