happy disability awareness month to him 🙂‍↕️

has anyone else noticed that being alive is like. not the most dignified experience ever

happy autistic girl summer to those who celebrate

There comes a day at the start of each summer when I must put my baseball cap on sideways and go out back to my air conditioner. I gingerly stroke the rusty metal coils over its freon heart and say, "Sup, home skillet? Wake up, it's 1995!"

And the air conditioner says, "Oh snap, for real? I thought it was much later. I feel so old."

In a goofy voice I say, "Yeah, it's like 2024 or something... not!"

It laughs nervously. It says, "As if!"

I tell it, "Take a chill pill, it's really 1995."

"Then I'm only 5 years old? Wack."

I nod. "Yeah, duderoni. Go ahead and start up for me one more time. It's gonna be a scorcher."

It shudders. Something rattles deep inside it. Slowly, the fan starts to spin. Faster, faster, it whirls. The air conditioner laughs in relief. "I feel young!" it says. "I feel so young!"

If it's not one thing, it's the other

Mom still has issues with veins in her legs and apparently a wound on one of her legs might open at some point in the future and I just don't know what to do??

Why are parents so stubborn and refuse to seek help (especially when they themselves are afraid of their health issues)?? It's such a stupid boomer thing to do

I will keep bugging her to call a friend of hers who had a similar issue but boy am I fucking shaking

I also don't have the funds for a surgery that she will need to undergo

Here comes the boy!! :)))
