My life, for years, was disappointing people by being disabled again and again. It wasn’t yet diagnosed, and everyone assumed it was laziness and deception.
If someone seems bright/engaged but something weird keeps happening, maybe your frustration and disappointment is ableism

@rshindell I always use water words like puddle in everyday speech, but if it glows in nature we call it bioluminescence.

@americanbeetles I was so excited when I spotted my husband catching one.

@morningwitchy YES GOD DAMMIT ITS SO ANNOYING

@JennyBirdresqr @sarahthemoose I always remember/remind my passengers that nobody does something like that for fun. Even if they DO have a choice, making the decision to do something that uncertain and dangerous means they’re in a pretty dire position. They’re not stupid, just desperate.

@NomeDaBarbarian I love Joanna the goanna for name alone before the fact that she’s a sassy ass monitor lizard.

@bluecalx0099 @lingerie_addict The new way to buy things made from enslaved labor.

@bubblesarah @lingerie_addict I frequently say that whenever I see a wool coat with some nice visible mending it’s a million times more snazzy than a new one. I get stopped for more compliments on my patched clothes than those who don’t have patches yet.

@ANightAtRosies @lingerie_addict ((My $40 black leather boots from a decade ago finally gave up the ghost and wore an unrepairable hole in the leather. But 10 years of almost daily use from autumn to spring is pretty damn good. Resoled only once!))

[Sara @Delightedly]

@ANightAtRosies @lingerie_addict That would totally buy me 20 years worth of shoes. (One pair of extremely well made leather boots)

@trinachughes @lingerie_addict @Sweet_Saffron Wish 2.0

[Sara @Delightedly]

This isn’t a real request.

Someone please design a giant marine isopod vinyl skin for my shark robot vacuum. His name is Bathynomous but all the giant isopod stickers I have end up covering up a photo eye.

@laurenancona My husband is an successful autistic engineer. It helped him to be the most incredibly practical and grounded person in the world, which also makes him extremely capable at his job.

@danidonovan Keep a glasses frame case with a glasses wipe by your bed. Always deposit glasses into that case when going to sleep. Wipe with glasses cloth that lives in there when you get up.
Keeps the wipe from getting scratched debris, keeps glasses safe overnight, and you don’t lose them

@faintdreams @danidonovan I use the 90 degree fold-over. It makes a little triangle at the end of the tape, and you can tear or cut the tape along the edge of the roll while holding it flat with your thumb.
Even if it’s tape I can’t tear, it leaves a tab and somewhere to cut.

@premeesaurus Our dog once got a pup cup and went from perfectly behaved when left alone with a beverage to a fiend who believes all whipped cream adjacent things are meant to be hers.
