I Think Many People Don't Realise How Expensive It Is Just To Survive Day By Day As A Person With A Disability.

I think many people don't realise how expensive it is just to survive day by day as a person with a disability.

Our bodies can't function in a basic way without aid like equipment or medication, etc.

These things cost money.

The thing about these items in particular is that they have grown in cost higher than most other items.

They're not luxury items.

They don't grant us special powers or let us enjoy life more than anyone else.

These things simply help our bodies function in a way that it should in the first place.

It's to help with things our bodies have difficulty doing whether it's walking, eating, seeing, hearing, going to the toilet, driving, sleeping, etc.

So why in the past year has the daily cost to help me see tomorrow and let my body function at a basic level doubled?

Why do I have to pay life tax of $8.5 per day?

I'm not even having a good time. I should at least get a daily treat with my $8.5 to make it worth it.

Mobility aids should be free.

Medications should be free.

Medical equipment should be free.

Menstrual products should be free.

Glasses, contacts, etc should be free.

Hearing aids, cochlear implants, etc should be free,

Wheelchairs and other mobility aids should be free.

Continence equipment and aids should be free from the moment you're born til the moment you die.

Israel has deployed auto-firing quadcopters that emit the sounds of crying babies.

https://xtwitter.com/jam_etc_art/status/1780038184828608975

you have to repost this type of thing because it just sounds TOO insane to describe it without witnessing it, I wouldn't even blame anyone for saying this sounds unrealistic/fake before seeing it https://t.co/N7KRHN02Fo

There is no possible reality where this is in any way capable of being passed off as self-defense. It was never self-defense. It is, and always has been, a genocide.

Crying babies. Crying babies. This is, beyond a shadow of a doubt, meant to draw out and kill civilians while also making it far more difficult to locate and aid children who are trapped or alone.

If you have money to spare, please consider donating to some of the fundraisers on Operation Olive Branch to help people escape this genocide.

End the occupation. Free Palestine.

Gem and Etho have such good sibling energy I love it. It's so wholesome and I just love seeing them interact with each other.

A letter to you - Scarian

Season 10 Scarian blurb :)

As Grian made his way up to his house, he grabbed the letters that were peeking out of the mail box. As he skimmed through them, he noticed one of them was distinctly different from the rest. A small brown craft envelope with the words, “Open when alone :)”. As he stepped inside his house, he set down his things and opened it. Before he could even get past the first sentence, he instinctively knew it Scar.

“Hey Grian,

I know things have been a bit hectic lately. And we haven’t exactly talked since we kissed.”

Not beating around the bush, that was a surprised. It had been about a week since he and Scar has kissed. The memory replayed in his head often as he wondered why they hadn’t talked about it since.

“I know that a letter won’t cut it, but I was hoping this would give me a little more confidence to admit it. I wanted to let you know that I like you. You’ve probably been worrying yourself with needless thoughts about it. Or maybe I'm the one whose been obsessing over it. But the point is, that I’ve been thinking about it. And it meant more to me than I thought. So, I was hoping that you’d go out with me if you felt the same way. You don’t have to decide now, but I’ll be in town later this week. Hopefully, you’ll have an answer for me by then.

Yours truly, Scar.

Ps. I was hoping you wouldn't rush to call me before you've taken the chance to sort out how you feel about all of this. Don't feel like you have to rush it. :)”

"Idiot" Grian whispered to himself as a smile spread across his face having finished the letter. He shook his head and sat down, rereading the letter, hoping that it wasn’t his imagination.

a digital bust portrait of Ahmed Aburaida, a real-life Palestinian man with short black hair, dark brown eyes and light brown skin. he has a uniform beard, there's a small mole below his left eye, a few wrinkles on his forehead and his hair has some gray streaks. Ahmed wears a blue undershirt, a darker blue hoodie and a dark green coat overall. he looks at the viewer with a neutral, if not exhausted expression. the background is yellow with the pattern of a keffiyeh overlaid. props include a white halo behind his head, floating red poppies around his face and his name "احمد ابوريده" written in Arabic, with a heart-shaped Palestinian flag just below Ahmed's name.
a GoFundMe screenshot featuring a photo of Ahmed Abu Raida and a young boy. both are smiling. the goal meter is almost empty at the time the shot was taken.

hi all, this is Vinca, the artist of the drawing in the left, i'm shàring this for my friend who was the muse of it. Ahmed Abu Raida just launched a gee-eff-em for his family

🍉 help Ahmed's family directly

Ahmed's words from instagram:

We launched a fundraising línk, and it is a personal matter of mine. I hope to reach my goal with your support and participation. Everyone knows the conditions we live in here in Gaza due to the Israeli terrôrist war. Two months before the war, I had a thermal procedure on the lower back, neck, and knee, but unfortunately, because of this war, the operation failed. Due to my lack of rest, due to homelessness and displacement, I will fly again after the end of the war to perform a thermal radiofrequency operation. I ask you to participate widely and donate to my personal campaign. In fact, I am ashamed of myself when I ask for donations for myself, but this is the bitter reality that we have reached because of the Israeli terrorist war, and just as we need it. We are making repairs to our house after it was exposed to both Israeli artillery shells. I ask everyone to participate widely and share the donation link in your story. Please boost, share, donate. The donation link is in the bio, the first link 🇵🇸✌️

Hear me out, mermaid Scar guarding the magical mending book that Fisher Grian has been so desperately searching for.

Scar loves to swim up to listen to Grian chat about earthly things and while he knows he could slip the book to Grian after they've long become friends, Scar keeps it hidden in order to keep Grian around.

I love how bdub's hermitcraft videos look like a 2000's western frontier movie.

Joel and Etho are the "you came; you called" trope, but in the most snarky tone you can think of.

One of the things that gives me the most joy is how youtubers aren't chronically online enough and have to guess what internet speak is through context clues. Im looking at Jimmy and Scar. This is a post about them.
