It’s Chickens All The Way Down

They/them, old af, coffee addict, music obsessed, I write fanfiction sometimes

[grapesofwrathernice]

Open call for my readers:

I had a very insular college experience, so I need inspiration and/or fuel. IF and only IF you would like to, you can share a thing from your college experience with me, embarrassing or cool or otherwise (message, comment, or tags, whichever you prefer). I will immortalize it in my fic AND let you name/nickname a character from the softball team that will be featuring in it

Sad farm update:

Due to what is likely raccoons, we have lost four chickens in two days, including my two absolute favorites

I am now going to have to change my status as a Bad American and purchase my first ever rifle to take care of it

Because my youngest is extremely upset and so am I. I don’t like it but this is the third year like this, and live traps and BB guns just aren’t doing the trick

Sigh.

Why no I didn’t pick a specific college campus as inspiration. or deep dive into the lore of how/when it was built. or price out apartments/houses. or download several maps of various outlying areas. or

If you're comfortable accusing anyone of faking disability, you're not a real ally to disabled people

[teaboot]

One time when I was a kid a group of girls and I had to treat another student for hypothermia by ourselves because she had so many invisible health issues that the adults we asked for help didn't believe us. The student in question was actively hallucinating. When I finally ran for help the people I grabbed were slow as shit to respond, casually joking about how "dramatic" the person in question was.

The kid was picked up by an ambulance 30 minutes later.

Now as an adult working in security I get SO MANY folks- upper-middle aged mostly- coming to me to 'rat out' people they think are faking it.

I was once sent into a bathroom because a client demanded that the "fucker won't get out, so go drag them out"- I was NEVER going to do that, so I did a wellness check instead. You know who it was? A person recently released from the hospital after a car accident. They had a hole in their skull and major hearing loss. They couldn't answer the owner because they couldn't HEAR the owner.

Another time about a homeless man who got around town by kicking the ground from his wheelchair. "You know he doesn't actually need that thing, his legs work fine, it's just for pity points"- Oh, so he's not paralyzed, his wheelchair is performative? Funny story Dale, I actually know that guy, he was backed over by a truck and has chronic pain from his shattered pelvis. But sure, let's make him stand up and walk everywhere so nobody feels too bad for him and tries to help him or something.

"She doesn't need that scooter, I've seen her get out of it."

"Look how fat he is, because he just rides around and refuses to get up."

"She doesn't really need that cane- she comes here without it all the time"

Sincerely, truly, from the bottom of my heart- as someone who isn't physically disabled but hears this shit all the time- fuck off

The thing is, writing is not just putting the Character in a situation. It's also putting myself, the writer, in a situation (having to write)

This is Joe (short for Cotton-eyed Joe). He is a Polish hen (yes he uses he/him pronouns even though he lays eggs) and he is one of my two most favorite chickens ever. He says good morning to all my followers because he’s just that friendly

people may think the reason time travel is not allowed is to stop people from interfering with jfk’s assassination and the titanic sinking HOWEVER ! it is actually because too many people would stop at nothing to produce rizzoli & isles yuri
