teaching yourself how to deal with mildly annoying inconveniences is imo an essential part of treating the disabled people around you with compassion and no i'm not kidding

[rimonoroni]

sometimes you have to share a public space with someone who has loud verbal tics. sometimes a chronically ill friend will have to cancel plans because of a flare up even if you were really looking forward to hanging out with them. sometimes an autistic person will talk over you or interrupt you because they missed a particular cue. sometimes people who struggle to take care of themselves will smell bad. sometimes people with intellectual disabilities will need you to give them more detailed, patient instructions, even if it seems simple to you. sometimes you will need to give up your seat on the bus for a physically disabled person even if you don't want to move.

accommodating disabled people is not always easy or comfortable; being an ally means doing it anyway.

When the Airbnb cute as hell

[fagcrisis]

i really really hate liberals who do volunteering for orgs that help the homeless and then write thinkpieces about how a lot of homeless people are very educated and hardworking and its not at all their fault that theyre unhoused like. even if ur hypothetical homeless person is addicted to every drug abused their whoever commited many crimes and their situation is every bit their fault. no one deserves to live on the street.

what walking/cycling around the city every night with a bike basket full of sandwiches accompanied only by another volunteer for almost a yeat has taught ME is that in the winter its really cold and after an hour we both wanted to go in anywhere warm, but every single business requires you to be a paying customer to sit inside, subway stations have staff that chase you away if youre sitting there long enough and even heating vents have spikes on them, and that in the summer its incredibly hot even at night and cops chase you away from fountains and the city is full of tourists and partying people that make it impossible to sleep on benches and that in the spring it rains and in the fall it also rains and that your only source of food is going to be a couple of teenagers and uni students volunteering in their spare time to make you a sandwich. and my conclusion from this, is what everyones conclusion should be. this is inhumane and no one deserves to live this way

desert

one of my fave things about California is how many biomes exist in the same space.

snow covered mountains on our way to the desert

Hey it’s been like several years since I updated this. I live in California now. And I’m on a lil road trip to Palm Springs. Figured I’d resurrect this for fun

One of the best parts of being an American is the American road trip experience. You can run away from your life like an outlaw in a movie.

You can drive 100mph and hop between dinners and motels with a gun and contemplate never returning.

Skate rink!!

[roadtripdiary]

I was so lucky to be able to crash with @alliswyattonthewesternfront and attend their Halloween skate rink party!!

[roadtripdiary]

So I took off on an unplanned trip and just missed Cape Cod getting pummeled by a turbo storm. Here’s the Tennessee portion where I got to see @alliswyattonthewesternfront 💖
