You can survive almost anything through the right combination of:

  1. Bitching and moaning
  2. Hater-ology
  3. Doing a goofy little bit about it
  4. Having a buddy say "that's so fucked up" at intermittent points (you can also be your own buddy)
  5. Destroying the cursed amulet you carry everywhere, why do you even have that thing

Cory Booker fasted and stood all day and all night and spoke till his voice nearly gave out for his constituents. And Republicans can't even show up to town halls. The contrast could not be starker. Let Senator Booker be an inspiration to us all. "The power of the people is greater than the people in power."

this is really interesting in how it frames disability/low spoons/etc as not being a series of internal symptoms, but specifically a situation in which daily tasks increase in complexity. for example i used to be able to wash the dishes normally. but now mental and physical issues combine to make that situation have a lot of prequalifications (do I have time, energy, how long can I do it without being sore the next day) that means many more steps are involved in getting that single physical act of washing a dish to be done.

i am incredibly susceptible to "we found this stray cat/dog who was scared and alone and we managed to build enough trust to get them all cleaned up and safe and warm and now they live in our house and have food to eat :-)" videos

im on the verge of tears in the campus library rn . a very brave and beautiful little boy
