Here’s something I’m not afraid to admit about myself: I hate being disabled.

I hate it so much. Nothing about it is „cool“ or „special“. It’s terrible and I don’t want anyone to go through it. I wake up every day in pain and go to sleep in pain. If my disability lets me that is. Because the fun thing about the variant of Ehlers-Danlos-Syndrome that I have is that it doesn’t just deteriorate my bones and joints at rapid rates but also gives me insomnia, heart issues that require medication, asthma, hypermobility that sometimes allows for joints to pop out of place and gastrointestinal issues.

I can’t stand for longer than 10 mins without my body feeling like there are nails being shot through every inch of my body. I can’t walk for longer than an hour before my knees and hips start locking and every step is grinding bone against literal bone. I have to be afraid of eating because I never know when my body decides to reject food. I have to lay in bed at night with the fear I may never fall asleep and when I take my heart medication at the wrong time I have to be afraid of never waking up again.

I have one friend who understands my struggle irl. But she gets it because an accident took most of her physical abilities. In my case my body decided to do a magic trick and reject living normally without any outside force.

So yeah. I hate being disabled and I hate that there is no cure for this. I am stuck like this until I die. And that’s a very scary and depressing thought.

Disability isn’t just about the physical issues, it causes mental issues as well. And mental disabilities can cause physical issues too. It all wouldn’t be half as bad if the world actually stopped to listen to people like me and see things from our view. But no one does so nothing changes and disabled people are left to fend for themselves. Every day is a battle and the battle doesn’t stop, it’s not a phase and not a game of pretend. It’s cruel and often disabled people are discriminated against for things outside of our control.

To everyone who reads this: be a little kinder to the people around you. You don’t know what type of problems are brewing inside but something simple as holding a door or just being nice can make a really big difference in the way someone feels about the world. And maybe if everyone is a little kinder to everyone else, maybe the world can change to make accommodations accessible and not something that requires a fight. I would like to see that future.

Boss today told me he wishes he could just hire a second me to help out...

But instead of taking the compliment I just sat there and wondered why he thinks the office could do with another sarcastic asshole.....

It occurred to me that since I was last on Tumblr, I got a new astrophotography setup. I've only used it a few times, but most nights I'd rather haul out Lyra the Dob for a quick and easy setup.

The scope part of the new rig arrived the day before I left for a week-long trip to dark skies as a mentor at an astronomy camp. I got the go-ahead to bring it; the seeing was bad all week so the stars were bloated, but I still had a great time.

From that week:

At top left is Messier 109; the bright star is the bottom-left corner of the Big Dipper's cup. I'd chosen it for first light because I'd never imaged it before and it has a beautiful barred spiral structure. In this cropped version you can see the structure and three faint satellite galaxies to the right, running in a row from above the galaxy to just below and right of it.

The one at bottom right is the Coma Galaxy Cluster. The seeing made it hard to tell, but *most* of the points of light in that image are individual galaxies and not stars. I could see a few dozen through my visual scope one night. It was glorious.

my only real complaint about Mass Effect as a whole, is that Femshep suffers such a terrible case of noodle arms. All these mod creators making her buff to fit her military vibe I give you my thanks 😎🙏
