i posted this picture of my superior organizing skills and overnight two of the hooks fell off

so uh.... i think i might try hooks UNDER the shelves... the adhesive on the hooks is rated for up to 25 pounds, but they're also bigger than the edge of that shelf...

worst case scenario i'll find some cute hooks that actually screw in to the got dam wall lmao

whoops no wonder i'm stuck watching it try to connect after seeing a mysterious glitch in my mod powers, discord is down lol

at least i know from twitter that it ain't just me

organizing means making things cute right? right.

also honestly the more i hear it the less i buy "i was just trying to be shocking when i said that offensive stuff"

if you knew it was shocking you knew it was gonna be shocking for a reason, sugartits. don't put that in ya mouth if ya don't want the consequence

like you know it's bad when i - She Of The Proud Mayonnaise Blood - notice this shit

so much of this is just a nice coat of Sassy Gay Best Friend whitewash over black culture. forgive me if i don't think the "but i promise i didn't actually SAY the n-word!" is insincere when i see somebody lip synching along to a Nicki Minaj song in drag makeup while his followers screech DRAG HER SIS! SNATCH THAT WEAVE!... there's a base level of respect just not there and present for black creators

so, while watching videos about 'makeup artist drama' and so on because fuck you i'm full of nyquil and bad choices,

cis white dudes doing drag and in the makeup artist world aren't doing much more than gentrifying what black women have already done, huh

listen i'm not all 'the south shall rise again' or that shit but i WILL say

if in the afterlife i meet general sherman

i will smack that man across the face for helping to make georgia a wasteland where passenger train service does not exist, even when it could absolutely be my preferred form of transport

@chaosonwheels23 luckily i don't get too much of that shit to my face

of course this may be because all of the old codgers i know most likely to spout that shit are my great-uncles who are all learning firsthand about the constraints of society when you ain't at 100% health

i haven't gloated openly at any of them but i probably have on occasion looked smug as hell

Disabled Spoonie Coming Out Of Her Well To Shame Mankind (If You'd Give Her A Hand Up Please, Shit This Thing's Kinda Deep Huh, You'd Think They Would Be Required To Build A Ramp Honestly, The ADA Isn't Just For Show After All Goddamn)

@chaosonwheels23 god yeah, i'm so glad there's the loophole at least

this is just one of those things where i become Disabled Woman Yells At Cloud honestly

i feel like people who aren't in the system are absolutely blind to this shit. i mean fuck, i sure fucking was. but it can end up constraining so much of your life, and then when chucklefuck mcgee goes "well you know these cripples live high on the hog off the state" i sort of just want to become the embodiment of screaming fury tbh

so i'd have to use only my own funds for that. which i can only use 2k of. *and not even that much*. because as soon as you get a CENT over 2k, THEY WILL COME KNOCKING ANGRILY AT YOUR DOOR, CALLING YOU, WANTING YOU TO PAY THEM BACK FOR EVERYTHING. so realistically, the only amount of savings i can ever have ISN'T 2k... it's 2k minus the amount of money i get a month. if not less, so i don't accidentally end up five bucks over and then have to kowtow to the government for three weeks. U G H

i mean i'm glad the able accounts exist but b r u h. do you know how quick 2k of savings goes in an emergency??? if i needed to save up for a wheelchair, sure, that's something the able account will let me spend my savings on. probably furniture as well.

but consider: one of my niblings gets sick. i need to fly up to help. the flight up, the meals i eat there because i'm not able to cook, a toy to distract other niblings or taking them all to see a movie - uncle sam says nope!!!!!

@chaosonwheels23 i did look into those and i'm gonna have to start socking money away into one!

what chaps my ass though is that they demand you have a certain amount of money in the abled account before you get to put any money into their mutual funds/investment funds. (because... realistically... i'm disabled, i'm 30, i need to have been saving for retirement yesterday...)

also you can only use account funds for ~approved purchases~, which is better than nothing for sure, but. see gif

minor sad disabled-in-the-US feel:

realizing that all 'if i won the lottery...' fantasies now include "ok so first off i set up a trust to fund my healthcare, because as soon as i have more than two thousand dollars in assets, uncle sam will jettison me with prejudice from all benefits, and -"

can you trace Listening To Lisa Loeb when young as cause in part of my now favouring cats-eye glasses?
