  1. Anybody else play the game of getting a text / message from a guy, only glimpsing at the preview, and then thinking up the MOST UNDERWHELMING AND LOW EFFORT end to the message so you're not disappointed when you do read the whole thing? 👀

    (Like geeze I don't even mean A GUY like "❤️" just a friend who is a dude but dude friends still suck at conversation so you gotta forcefully lower your expectations, no matter how desperate for human social connection you are. ESPECIALLY if you're desperate and lonely (for FRIENDS). Because you WILL be let down by their 'conversational skills.')

  2. CW: cw emotional labor/mother's day

    Hi! CW because complicated holiday for some - a courtesy reminder that Mother's Day is SUNDAY, 10 May. The USPS is kinda slow these days, if you're mailing something, get sending today... And if this is a hard day for you due to loss or absence or whatever reason, I send hugs.

  12. If any of you #men following me missed my mutuals' post - expressing gratitude for men who stepped up & helped take on some of the emotional labour than women have shouldered - please read it, first:

    disabled.social/@vlrny/1163251

    Then - make your own decision on whether to be a silent enabler of misogyny or a comrade to women who have to deal with misogynist wankerbutternoodles here.
    You also can choose to support anti-ableism by speaking out against it, in public (like many women already have!) or keep on silently enabling it by choosing to be friendly to ableists who are also misogynistic.

    Many women & disabled folks are watching. We notice who steps up & who does not. You can do better than stay silent about misogynists - as men - that call has to come, loudly, from within the mens' arena. You can do better than silently enable ableism - that call has to come from non-disabled folks.

    Stop being OK with letting women & disabled folks take more hits - because you lack courage to take some of the emotional labour off our overburdened backs.

    *You're supposed to feel some discomfort reading this - if you've failed to use your privileges as men to do better than be silent enablers of your fellow men.*

    But it doesn’t land the same on everyone.

    Some people are allowed to break.
    Others are expected to carry on.

  27. Active Constructive Responding 4/10

  28. Dating can be tiring for anyone. For disabled daters, it often means repeating the same explanations, managing others’ discomfort, and pushing through fatigue just to stay present. This piece reflects on dating burnout, the need for rest, and why slowing down is not failure—but care.
