The right are lobbying with huge donations from beneficiaries of our trickle up economy.
This election, we need to block Peter Dutton's destructive agenda and fight for a Parliament that priorities fairness, justice, and everyday people in Australia. https://t.co/dBXor75RAi
@BiggCompton24 I feel like endangering workers further and increasing the ableism against physically disabled participants is probably not the best long term change, but I would support this as a very cathartic interim solution
Budget idea for ausgovt: instead of trying to get people who apply for supports (like centrelink and the NDIS) to kill ourselves by treating us like this, just send an assassin in the first instance! Save heaps! 🤑
@killdads I'm not a girl but my girl dinner tonight is a pickle, a plantball freezer meal from ikea, 2 mini cucumbers, then a pouch of yoghurt, an entire jar of peaches in mango nectar, and 1-5 little chocolates. I'm excited.
@dieworkwear Leisure and rest, even distraction, are valuable, necessary aspects of a fulfilling life, and living a fulfilling and balanced life increases work capacity and productivity. Therefore, your tweets are providing a service that hastens the work of climate science.
@joseph_shumate @oldenoughtosay Definitely a typo in the original thread for Australia, which should read 230x110x76mm. We do not have unusual almost-square brick faces in common usage to my knowledge as an Australian!
@kfosterauthor At 10 years old I knew the borrowing limit of each section of our library and would get out the maximum kid lit novels and nonfiction every three weeks. As a disabled teen & young adult I always knew the library was air-conditioned, safe, quiet, and clean, with a toilet and wifi!
Twitter is unnavigable now, only useful to see breakthrough-hit tumblr posts a year late. If you want to see good tweets now you can go to tiktok to see them a week late, or Facebook to see Twitter's historical greatest-hits.
@dieworkwear Mitchelle's take is classic Double-empathy-problem. Most neurodivergent (especially autistic, but also ADHD and some traumagenic neurotype) people see communicating this way as more understanding/caring, but it's rude and self-centred by neurotypical-centring etiquette rules.
@UntoNuggan Not to ask for medical advice from twitter strangers, but, can I ignore this PSA if it was 4 years ago this happened and I haven't gotten significantly worse, though the digestive issues haven't fully gone away?
I'm getting kinda good at saying 'realistically that would use more executive function/energy than I'm able to dedicate to that, what other options are there?' instead of agreeing to stuff that I knew I'm never going to do. Which is really cool and sexy of me, obviously.
@vex_itme@islandthembo My favourite one is them on pushbikes and my second favourite is they're on the subway and they miscalculated the timing of the door opening but they still executive a run into the platform regardless. It's so fun and carefree!
Isn't it so weird that when you're an adult, all the teenagers you had a crush on when you were a pre teen because being 3 years over seemed like the most sophisticated thing in the world, are now just like adults that are basically the same age as you?
People with ADHD often have success amnesia.
We actually do a lot of awesome things well, but we forget about them and quickly move onto the next thing.
And because we're so often seeking the next thing, we forget to appreciate and acknowledge our success.
