Since July is Disability Pride Month
(as opposed to every other month when we're all demure about disability rights /gentle sarcasm)
Lurker. Anxious. Posts veer wildly between cute animals, politics, and general geek stuff. She/Her. 37. Asexual. Lifelong Californian. Critical Role sideblog @ disasterparty. I’m vonnie_bee on Twitter until it implodes.

So no affirmative action, no discrimination protections for same-sex couples, AND no debt forgiveness? This sucks
Another piece of news:
This court fucking sucks.
Not much we can do right now for college applicants of color, indebted graduates, or lgbt people facing discrimination from businesses, but we CAN donate to the Navajo water project https://www.navajowaterproject.org/
They are not as high-profile as the WGA, but I would like to bring everyone's attention to the imminent strike action by thousands of hotel workers in Los Angeles. They are set to go on strike tomorrow, July 1st, 2023.
More than 15,000 hotel workers are seeking higher pay, better benefits, and working conditions. This includes an across-the-board $5 an hour raise, as well as affordable healthcare and better pensions. They also are seeking a ban on the use of E-Verify, which is used to deny employment to undocumented workers and workers involved with the criminal justice system. You can follow what is happening at their Twitter.
Hey making a new post bc the last one died, but I've got like 20 bucks to my name, and i need to get groceries -- including cat litter. I'd dress this up but honestly I'm just tired right now as it's a rough day for me.
Any help is appreciated, if you can't donate or commission me please reblog if you can
Just as an update, im still broke and still need to get cat litter asap, so any help is greatly appreciated
Happy canada day, ive gotten only 12 dollars so far on this post, so again, anything helps. I really need groceries soon
I cannot put into words how much I Fucking Loathe the fact that when you search something on youtube now it will randomly intersperse blocks of "people also watched" and "for you" into the results. That's not what I searched for, youtube. I typed in a search query because I wanted to see search results, not random unrelated garbage you have placed in my way apparently to either inconvenience me or force me to scroll further for actual results. I despise your wretched little games and every time I see it I can only instantly close the tab as I am overcome with the urge to burn something down.
"I despise your wretched little games" perfectly conveys how I feel about the entire algorithm/attention economy
It's midnight here, so happy disability pride month to my fellow disableds, the chronically ill, and also to the temporarily abled.
If your activism doesn't include disability, you're sure as fuck going to wish it did.
Nothing about us without us ♿👊
As we are, so you will be. All health and ability is temporary.
So it has been decided that I'll be 1. Extra gay this month and 2. Extra disabled (not my choice). Happy disability pride month!
15,000 hotel workers in california might strike during anime expo, which is july 1-4. this makes this the largest hotel worker strike in modern us history.
and anime expo is one of the largest events in north america.
Isn't this the one where the CO2 levels get high enough to cause a lil brain damage?
very close! 1,400 ppm is the standard for unhealthy levels of carbon dioxide, where the air quality will cut your cognitive ability in half.
the air at anime expo got above 4,000 ppm.
AX attendees got a little more than a little brain damage. as a treat
about to post something really great
Wait wait hang on I gotta find something
Do you love the color of Pandas?
