#Money, the interesting thing about it is if you #exist in #poverty, you desperately need it for your day to day survival, then if your on the opposite end as in being a multi million or billionaire in reality money means nothing, because everything you own and do is leveraged off of debt that you one don't actually own and second can never actually satisfy, and the rules of the game are very different for those in poverty, and the rules are slightly different if your in the middle, but if your on top, the rules don't apply to you unless somehow your generation and hoarding of wealth imposes upon another top income holder, basically if your in poverty all the way to the bottom end of double digit millions, your beholden to the entire state if it where, and beyond that the entire state apparently is beholden to you and your ability to leverage debt, it is a rigged system of epic inequality and strongly embraces prejudice against the rest of us whom simply would appreciate the basics in life to be readily available without so much turmoil, and stress to our mental and physical wellbeing, money is an illusion of power and has left far to many of us going hungry, literally;

Not enough people understand narcissism.

Trump’s behavior is classic narcissistic, addict behavior. He’s actually very predictable.

It’s all about Trump.
It’s all about survival.
It’s all about getting to the next day.
No matter the costs.

Symptom: Social Security Disability Rejection

61% of Social Security applicants are denied after their first application. I am now on the second appeal, when 49% of remaining applicants are approved, and have hired a lawyer (disability lawyers are only paid if they win your case).

I set a new goal on ko-fi, in order to get more illmarks pieces into the world. The fundraising would cover framing two Med Art Advocacy pieces, and submission fees + professional scanning for the Mütter Medical Museum, a Senior Living Center, a Health Care Center & 3 other shows.

If you are able to comfortably, please buy me a ko-fi. We’re 1/3 of the way to the goal!

Buchtipp zum #ProtestTag5Mai
Subjekte der Inklusion
Die Theorie der trilemmatischen Inklusion zum Mitfühlen
von der großartigen Mai-Anh Boger ✊ 💞

"Dieses Buch handelt von dem dissonanten Begehren, nicht diskriminiert zu werden. [...] Es ist geschrieben worden für alle, die (a) sich anders fühlen oder (b) darauf bestehen, ganz normale Menschen zu sein oder (c) sich fragen, ob die Worte ‚anders‘ und ‚normal‘ für sie überhaupt Sinn ergeben oder (d) alles davon auf einmal – in einem manchmal kaum aushaltbaren Gewirr der Selbstbefragung, sowie für deren Pädagog_innen und andere, die dieses Gefühl verstehen wollen."

Symptom: Coat Hanger Pain

I only learned about this term very recently, from yumpsuit on the Fediverse. Thank you so much for letting me know about it!

I am almost disproportionately thankful to have a handy description for letting people know what I’m feeling, as well as how to look for ways to try to mitigate the pain. Reading about Coat Hanger Pain resonated deeply, in a way similar to how I often feel when I get a diagnosis: a feeling of relief, connection, community, and hope.

Many people who have not been chronically ill see a diagnosis as a negative. Indeed, many disabled people are never told their diagnoses, and are never told they are disabled. This needs to change, because as Granite and Sunlight explained:

Many people are disabled for a long time before they get a diagnosis which explains what is happening to them, and there is a resistance in the medical profession to giving long-term diagnoses, especially for young people and for women with chronic conditions which lack good treatment options, because of an outdated belief that labels are limiting and they don’t want people to ‘see themselves as disabled’. The fact they are already disabled, already struggling, is why disability justice advocates are trying to help medical professionals change their approach to this. Most people just want answers and context for what is happening to them – not having a name for it doesn’t mean it isn’t affecting their lives. Diagnosis gives people access to context, support and community who can help a person manage the condition better, but these are not built into the medical response to disability. Despite these delays, the person is still disabled all that time, and still needs access to the support and adaptations which can help them live good lives managing their conditions.

For more information about this, I recommend Brianne of No End In Sight’s TEDx Talk, Disease Begins Before Diagnosis.

Nationally, the #UnitedStates average rent for a basic studio or one-bedroom apartment exceeds the average #SSI payment of $983 per month. Even in the cheapest rental market in the country, rent for either a one-bedroom or efficiency would require 64% of a person’s monthly #SSIpayment. https://bit.ly/3umBWQj

The #RadicalCommunalCare group who led on the above letter aims to be a network - with it currently connecting people across Europe - for disabled, chronically ill people & their partners where communal care can be discussed from an anarchistic/feminist viewpoint, but also put into practice. We have a Signal chat for exchange of information & support in the day-to-day & we aim to meet every 2-4 weeks via Signal video - with pacing - for thematic discussions (for instance: #MutualAid #AbolishTheFamily) alongside support & solidarity. It is an #AntiAbleist #AntiCapitalist #AntiFascist & #Intersectional space.

Being part of this group has had such a positive impact on me in a very short time. Despite being very introverted & also struggling with intense social anxiety - made worse by my #LongCovid & #OCD - from the first moment I got involved I have felt at ease, safe, welcome & heard. I have seen my confidence increase, my ability to advocate for myself - especially in terms of the #pandemic & my Long-Covid - improve. It's a place of solidarity & comradeship, approached from an intersectional #anarchist perspective.

If this sounds like something you want to be part of, help co-create & grow as a group & space, please get in touch!

Wow! We just cannot express how grateful we are to everybody at @lucyparsonscent for organizing #LiberationSoup. This was an incredibly well-organized pamphlet and event that not only got a bunch of amazing orgs in one room, but also allowed us to connect with so many great folks in our community to talk about the state of houselessness in Boston since Wu’s vicious attack on Atkinson St. It was also incredible to see past Warm Up volunteers leading new groups in this area! If you reached out to us, we have a whole bunch of messages and we will be getting back to you all as soon as possible. #WarmUpBoston #LiberationSoup #Cambridge #CommunityDefense #HarmReduction #Indigeneity #ClimateJustice #Abolition #TenetUnions #AntiWar #ImmigrationJustice #MutualAid #OrganizedLabor #BlackLiberation #QueerPower #TransPower #DisabilityJustice #Activism #BostonActivism

In person I'm a #recoveringacademic and #UnitarianUniversalist practicing #FeministTheory outside the corporate university.

For fun I bake, cook #vegetarian one-pot meals with whatever vegetable is in season, and sing in #choir.

Profile alt text:
Banner: a light pink with white text, rounded font with texture, reads "A WORLD WITHOUT TRANS PEOPLE HAS NEVER EXISTED AND IT NEVER WILL." The full image from @torracadh.bsky.social includes this text with white and light blue background in the trans flag.

Profile: Unitarian Universalist chalice symbol rendered with a watermelon as the vessel and with an olive branch as the wick and light. This is in bold greens and reds. In a circle around the top of this image reads in cursive "until all are free, none are free." And around the bottom in caps "VOTE YES-AIW."
