I hope I'm not just a mutual to you, but someone you want to bring up in irl conversation so you have to awkwardly and cryptically say "my friend..." and refuse to elaborate on my origins or the origins of our friendships

i love making friends in fandom, i love playing with our toys together, i love coming up with increasingly niche aus, i love lifting strangers up, i love motivating people to create, i love watching someone get excited over an idea and immediately running with it, i love yelling in tags together, i love seeing someone gain confidence in their writing/art because people were kind to them <33

While I’m not shocked, I got the news from the NDIS today that my application for an off-road capable wheelchair was rejected, because despite the fact that I live on a farm in a rural area with no paved roads, no footpaths and the closest towns also don’t have any accessible infrastructure, other ndis participants with my disability who live in urban areas don’t need off-road-suitable mobility aids so it’s obviously a luxury item for recreational activities, not a necessity I need just to get around my house 🙃

I keep writing out these big paragraphs to explain why it’s a necessity where I live, then deleting them because it’s long even for me. I can literally write an essay if I need to, but the fact of the matter is I can explain it all until I’m blue in the face and it doesn’t matter. My thoughts on my own needs don’t matter. At this point, the opinions of the medical professionals that literally spent days writing reports for me don’t seem to matter either, especially not with all these “reforms” coming in. My OT wrote a report that when printed onto A4 paper was literally thick enough to be a book, containing detailed risk assessments, photos of the environment I live in, diagrams explaining the physics behind why wheel + mud = bad, photos and reports of the closest towns that are not accessible at all and not possible to be made accessible due to a variety of complicated reasons and so much more. And it wasn’t enough. Not to get this chair approved or to stop them from cutting funding to pay people to come out and help me. My ability to go outside was deemed “not enough value for money”.

My LAC suggested if our appeal isn’t successful that I reach out to my area’s minister, as she has gotten involved a few times to vouch for people on similar matters with the NDIS. Sounds great on paper until I look her up and discover that a big part of her campaign to get elected was fear mongering about trans people, specifically in sports. So my choices are continue to bang my head against the wall arguing with the NDIS or I, the trans person and former athlete, can ask the person who spent months demonising and othering my other community. Happy fucking pride!! Even if she did help me, I’ve been burned by “help” from politicians before who went ahead and twisted my words into something to help them get elected before back when I didn’t know how to recognise that kind of behaviour.

I debated even posting this because there’s so many people on the NDIS who are facing way bigger and way more dangerous cuts to their funding than me. When I called my LAC to ask what to do, she legitimately sounded like she might cry because so many of her clients were facing issues. A lot of people are looking at loosing their funding entirely. The state of the NDIS under these reforms is scary, but being able to do things like go into town or even just go outside are not luxuries. They’re necessities. Being able to touch grass should not be a privilege.

But sure, it’s all worth it to cut back on all this supposed “fraud” right?? keeping disabled people locked in their houses so you don’t have to see them anymore will make all this fraud go away, I’m sure.

I must not fall victim to disgust. Disgust is the heart-killer. Disgust is the little-death that brings total apathy. I will face my disgust. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the disgust has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Sometimes it is your fault.. Sometimes you don’t listen well enough, you’re selfish, you’re rude and you aren’t always right. Sometimes you fucked it up and tbh that’s okay. It happens, learn from it, apologize and keep it moving. Just because you fucked up doesn’t mean you’re a bad person. Don’t dwell on it

#YAY #it’s a huge process to separate yourself from your work #esp if you’re passionate #but as a teacher i always tell my students #it is okay to fail #this is not failure #getting something wrong isn’t a failure #try again #and that’s worth more

nothing beats waking up to get something done and immediately going back to bed

Was driving with my grandmother and in broken English she says “no eyes… no nose… no face. Don’t trust.” To which I looked around wildly in search of this omen of ill portend.

Cybertruck. It was a cybertruck.
