there's a thing where someone will hear a disabled person talk about how awful it is to be unable to get out of bed all day, and they'll think "I wish I was in bed all day." like there is a disconnect.

why aren't you in bed all day? because you need to work, to keep up with your responsibilities to other people, to bathe and exercise and move your body, all sorts of reasons.

disabled people still have all those things going on. they also need money and have responsibilities to other people and want to feel clean and move their bodies. they suffer the same consequences you would for not doing them.

you know that keeping up with all those things, even when exhausting, works out better for you in the long run than staying in bed all day, which is why you do them. it's such an obvious choice it doesn't even feel like you have a choice.

there is a difference between not needing to do all those things and not being able to do all those things. that's disability.

These are smocking patterns. If you stitch these patterns into flat fabric and then pull the threads to gather the fabric, it will produce these patterns on the finished fabric. Smocking manipulates flat fabric into three dimensions.

The beautiful fabric that looked like dragon scales on costumes in the tv show Game of Thrones were produced by smocking, by sewing a particular pattern into the fabric and then pulling those threads just the right amount to gather the fabric into that pattern.

Cory Booker has been talking in the senate for over 20 hours now

He’s not filibustering. He’s protesting the current administration.

[what-even-is-thiss]

For those of you from outside the US or those of you who didn’t pay attention in government class, in the US senate there’s really no limit to the amount of time a senator can speak. So sometimes if they don’t want a bill to pass they just. Don’t stop talking. To hopefully get past the deadline to vote on a bill. This is called filibustering.

Senator Cory Booker isn’t doing that. He’s disrupting “the normal business of the United States Senate for as long as I am physically able”. Just in protest. This doesn’t usually happen.

[what-even-is-thiss]

He’s less than 20 minutes away from breaking the record of the longest speech given on the senate floor

[what-even-is-thiss]

Cory Booker has officially broken Strom Thurmond’s record for longest speech on the senate floor and he’s still going

[what-even-is-thiss]

For those of you wondering what he’s been talking about this whole time, his staff wrote down a bunch of stuff for him to read like stories from people across the political spectrum opposed to what the administration is doing. He’s also been telling personal anecdotes about meeting important civil rights leaders and other democratic senators have been pausing him for “questions” but the questions have been as long as a small speech and have both served the purpose of giving him a second to sit down and updating him on the news that he’s been missing while he’s been talking.

[what-even-is-thiss]

He has yielded the floor at 25 hrs and 4 mins. His eyes are so wide they look like they’re going to bug out of his skull so I don’t blame him for stopping. He said to go out and get in some good trouble.

Next time you're around when the mail gets delivered, ask your delivery person if they're understaffed or not.

But don't hold them up too much, they have a lot of work to do.
