@AJamesMcCarthy I absolutely love the work you do. I'm always so amazed by the photos you capture and it's clear how much work and heart you put into capturing what you do.
Thank you!
I was sexually harassed by an employee at the airport last week. Not only were American Airlines absolutely amazing in helping me handle it, the ProspectAir staff also made me feel listened to.
I feel like something actually will be done and I'll be sure to follow up.
as an autistic person, you can say “I mean this literally, genuinely, and in good faith with no hidden meaning, no subtext, and no agenda,” and somehow someone will still manage to twist it into something you never even considered
whenever i reflect on conflict with others and the way they policed my reactions to things they caused, i always wish i would’ve actually shown my ass since they made it seem like i did
can someone please tell my nervous system that i had no choice but to buy groceries & paper towels & toilet paper & soap because my family needs these things to live & i didn’t do anything wrong & spending $200 shouldn’t elicit the same chemical response as being chased by a bear
When a woman truly loves you, she makes it her mission to bring you peace.
She becomes your calm when your mind is racing.
If finances are tight, she steps in to share the load without hesitation.
When you face challenges, she is firmly in your corner against whatever comes your way.
Unfortunately, many men miss the mark and lose out on this kind of loyalty.
Women like this are rare, but they do exist.
When you find her, hold on tightly... and make absolutely sure you are bringing that same level of devotion, if not more.
This picture of Major Jason Watson made me think of that famous Edward Abbey quote:
"A Patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government."
Disability fact of the day:
Heat intolerance is a symptom of many med issues & it can also be a side effect of any number of meds. If someone gets heat intolerance from their chronic illness(es) & med(s) then it’s not that they don’t want to go outside, it’s that they can’t
As I've gotten older and learned to heal, I've worked hard on always making sure I tell people I love them. I want them to know I see them and I think of them, and that I care.
Doctors.
You need to stop with this "you're too young to need *insert mobility aid*" bullshit.
It's not based in science or medicine to deny a patient or disagree with other providers, the use or need of an assistive device.
This never applies to medically fragile people. While 78 is uncomfortable at times, it /is/ liveable for able bodied, healthy people. It isn't the end of the world. It isn't his fault he inherited such a fucked up system.
Also!!! Invest in black out curtains!! They keep heat out
New York ISO just issued an early warning that we must alleviate the strain on our energy grid statewide.
Please do your part in keeping our power on by:
•Setting your AC to 78 degrees.
•Turning off lights and unplugging electronics you’re not using.
•Waiting until early morning or late at night to run appliances like dishwashers or laundry machines.
During a historic heatwave, AC will save lives — but only if we keep the grid stable enough for it to stay on.
