Disability aids, medication, food, water, shelter...

It's almost like we should care about people.

fyi things like insulin, hearing aids, wheelchairs, glasses costing money at all is a form of structural ableism

Now that college students no longer have access to their libraries in the same way we used to and have to do most of our learning at home it would be just terrible if we all knew about https://1lib.eu/ a website which has books on basically every topic ever available for free including college textbooks. Imagine if people were researching their thesis without paying for it. 

DO NOT USE THIS SITE AND DEFINITELY DO NOT NOT TELL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT THIS SITE, THEY MIGHT START DOING THESIS RESEARCH FOR FREE OR JUST START READING BOOKS THEY FOUND ON THERE FOR FUN BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE INTERESTING. This would be terrible :( :(

Reblog to spread the word so that everyone knows to avoid this site!

Neurotypical people often don’t understand how difficult it can be to just have a conversation. I’m not avoiding looking you in the eye, I just can’t. I’m not trying to interrupt you, I just struggle to pick up on when you’re done talking. I’m not not listening to you, I just can’t process this conversation right now. I didn’t ignore what you said, I just forgot, I tried to remember but I can’t. I can’t. I care about you, I want to talk to you, but I’m not good at talking.

This guy is my new hero. I LOVE learning about native food plants that just grow everywhere without human help.

The database is a little clunky to use (especially on a phone), but still loads of excellent information.
