Still yelling about COVID. Listen to disabled people.

After much nudging, you can also find me where the skies are blue. (Same handle)

I know several people who are clearly autistic (undiagnosed but obvious) but do pretty fine socially and it’s achieved by being perceived as quirky as opposed to aloof. You gotta quirk it up. Lean into your eccentric personality instead of shutting off. It will work

Novavax officially on the CVS vaccine scheduler.

4 years ago this would have been unheard of and we almost lost Novavax early on. But relentless advocacy by so many people for vaccine equity and better protection got us here despite 2 administrations who destroyed public health

@CraftyCatDad Eyewitness books! 💜💜

@ReginaPhil65976 @DrDoyleSays Oh yeah, my therapist told me it's actually super common! People just don't tend to talk about it much at all because there's usually tons of shame wrapped up in it. I know that was the case for me.

And I'm doing much better now, thank you. :)

Not dissing on getting online frames at all (that's what I'm wearing right now in fact) but if they don't fit properly, use that return policy to find a better fit!

[Space Grace, temporal anomaly 🕰️🌌🇵🇸 @dreamsofskies]

I really wish I learned earlier that apparently if your eyes aren't CENTERED in the frame, they aren't getting your prescription as intended.

In otherwords, if your glasses are oversized and you're looking through the top of them, you're not looking through the main focal point.

Anytime I’ve complained about the price of my glasses everyone rushed to tell me order online and…

@SurvivingCFS I have trauma about being misunderstood in general... It's gotta compound that feeling when you're depending on understanding for survival.

It really sucks, but some people are gonna be 100% dedicated to misunderstanding you, *no matter what you do*. That's not your fault.

‘don’t have pets you can’t afford’ is a generally cool sentiment but very outdated since we need to chat about the private equity elephant in the room buying up all of the vets and making tooth extractions $1500

[Space Grace, temporal anomaly 🕰️🌌🇵🇸 @dreamsofskies]

@suchnerve It does that for me too! Suddenly the thought of responding to people feels like it's not so big of a task.

[Space Grace, temporal anomaly 🕰️🌌🇵🇸 @dreamsofskies]

@SurvivingCFS It's people-pleasing that stems from emotional neglect. You were conditioned to de-prioritize yourself in favor of anticipating the needs of people around you.

I also do this. It's SO HARD for me to acknowledge — let alone prioritize — my own needs when I'm around other people.

@aTiredOwl Lmao😂

I’ve said this before but if you’re chronically ill DO NOT QUIT YOUR JOB. Make sure you get long term disability insurance, and if you can pay the extra to get 80-100% of your pay do it. Know your company’s FMLA and disability policies

[Space Grace, temporal anomaly 🕰️🌌🇵🇸 @dreamsofskies]

There are SO many normal things I don't have to be afraid of being caught doing anymore.

I want to make a list of them for future me, I think.

[Space Grace, temporal anomaly 🕰️🌌🇵🇸 @dreamsofskies]

I've finally moved away from my abuser, after 3 years of having to stay with her for survival. I have a place of my own again.

I'm happy to have made it, but the relief is... slow. It's taking a while for my body to realize and accept that things are safer now.

For the first time in years, today I was allowed to start a NORMAL dishwasher load. Without overcrowding the dishwasher, without washing every single dish by hand first. With ORDINARY, inexpensive, not-greenwashed dishwasher detergent. And without having to ask for permission.

[Space Grace, temporal anomaly 🕰️🌌🇵🇸 @dreamsofskies]

@mbeilste @SurvivingCFS Was gonna say this too. My mom often got irritated with me when she saw me resting, or watching TV or playing games. I actually still have trouble playing games for longer stretches of time because my brain keeps expecting someone to be mad at me for it.

[they/them might be giants ☭ @babadookspinoza]

People used to talk about climate change as though at some point it’d get bad enough that we couldn’t deny it and had to address it. Covid made it clear that the bigger a problem is, the more tempting it is to believe it’s not real, and the more investment people have in denial.
