Hi, An Introduction To Tuttle (attempt n)

I'm a queer, trans, multiply disabled AAC user and part-time mouthwords user.

My brain is a mess and that doesn't make me any less valuable than anyone else.

And as I said earlier echolalic is how to about me

[Tuttleturtle (@[email protected]) @tuttleturtle42]

I know I keep sharing a lot of fundraising posts for Lilya but they're a multiply disabled trans Indigenous friend who is in an abusive situation and trying to survive while waiting on an SSI approval. Being able to help a little sometimes can make a big difference.

Lilya has been under so much distress while being exposed to a deadly allergen that they forgot they needed to crowdfund for a CRUCIAL appointment in ~16 hours! $80 needed!

@epballou I was SUCH a must follow all rules all the time extreme as a kid that I was given awards for being the easiest kid for all the adults around me so frequently. I *remember* starting to question this and it was because I was given contradictory rules.

[Tuttleturtle (@[email protected]) @tuttleturtle42]

Lilya has been fighting a lot for keeping basic needs met while going through the SSI application process in a hostile situation which requires long distance travel for routine care and its really rough. We need to help each other survive.

The star of the Olympics collapsing with covid on live TV in front of a global audience after they told us covid was over (and if it wasn't over it was mild) really does put a ribbon on the last few years
