you can’t support disability pride month and claim that Palestinians are at fault for their disabilities caused by Israel’s attacks btw.

because believing that implies that you believe someone could ever deserve to become disabled. That’s some fake fantasy book logic. Nothing a person could do could ever make them deserve to be disabled. That’s not how that works.

and being inclined to believe that is going to cause some serious issues later in your life. If you are disabled, you might start to believe that you could have deserved it because of your actions. If you’re abled, or really also if you’re disabled, it can also bleed into beliefs about the disabled people in your life. It’s similar to perfectionism: sooner or later your brain solves the cognitive dissonance externally.

No one deserves the struggles that go along with disability. Not an individual, not a society, not an ethnicity. That’s a close-minded and harmful opinion.

happy disability pride month. Free Palestine.

how 2 stay warm legs edition. help

so i’ve got allodynia that’s specifically triggered by the cold and recently it has gotten cold enough (below 60) for long enough that I’m not having a fun time . if i can stay warm it doesn’t start, but if i get cold it’s bad all the way until im all the way warm again.

upper half of my body is okay, i’ve been strategically layering shirts and sweaters and jackets and scarves, wearing gloves and hats and I even have some half-finger gloves coming in the mail so that i can have the important part out for art (which is outside . connecting with nature; i love trees but my skin feels like thousands of ants coated in acid are biting it.) lower half is . worse.

one thing that helps on my lower half is putting tights or leggings under my pants – stops them rubbing from being such an issue and also helps me to stay warm. unfortunately i don’t have enough of them to cover my whole school week 🫠 also my leg hair gets itchy. sweatpants would help but they’re against my school’s dress code . oh well.

i have a metric fuckton of wool socks (please someone take some from me . i have too many. i cant close my sock drawer.) but my winter shoes are all too heavy for my joints and my feet get cold in sneakers. i have some new boots coming in the mail though that are lighter and still warm, so hopefully they help.

does anyone have any suggestions for more formal-looking pants that are also warm? they don’t need to be super fancy because my school’s dress code isn’t that strict, just doesn’t allow loungewear during the class day. or any places to start looking? ought i just invest in long underwear or buy more fleece tights to put under things? many considerations. advice welcomed. thanks gang 🫶

Hello! What is the malloy post about? Is it a musical?

dave malloy is a strange sort of a man. he makes strange musicals!! you might know him for natasha, pierre, and the great comet of 1812. some of my other favorites of his include octet, preludes, and beardo. he also has his own solo music. please let me know if you would like any recommendations for stuff to get into! anyway, I'm trying to make a sort of masterlist of songs and musicals and bootlegs. man, bootlegs take up a LOT of space in google drive.
