Last week, the Department of Justice, which is charged with enforcing the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), began to rescind key guidance, justifying the move by suggesting that accessibility is the reason for cost-of-living increases.

*** MUTUAL AID REQUEST ***

:boost_request:

Hello all! It's your friendly neighborhood mod Glitch and I need your help!

I am a trans nonbinary, neurodivergent individual who is unable to work due to chronic illness. I need help to cover bills, personal/household needs, and cat food and cat litter.

I'm still working on disability and trying to get SSI, but because the US government is in such chaos, stuff's not happening as fast as I would like, so mutual aid is my lifeline till things start moving again. Help is greatly appreciated.

If you want to understand how the world thinks travel with someone #disabled. Many places are welcoming and helpful, but old buildings and aged infrastructure cannot always be adapted for those with disabilities. Some people are incredibly helpful and courteous, others...not so much.

Właśnie widziałam na tumblr jak ludzie się rzucili na artystę używającego AI z powodu niepełnosprawności, która uniemożliwia tej osobie rysowanie samodzielnie...

Ludzie anty-AI są coraz bardziej irytujący, cel na początku był najlepszy, teraz polega na znęcaniu się nad wszystkimi za używanie AI jako narzędzia (Wiecie, do CZEGO TO MA SŁUŻYĆ)

Apparently today is #MusiciansDay? That's cool.

If you'd like an #introduction to my music, here's my most popular song. :)

I tend toward retro-tinged #folkMusic, but my tastes are eclectic, and I hope it shows. Themes of #MentalHealth, #politics, and #spirituality come up often in my songs.

I love connecting with other #queer, #trans, #disabled, and otherwise kind folks here, so please reach out!

A little #rant I posted on #scoopz as I get dumb comments on #disability related videos that I should JUST GET A JOB cuz I am fit and young looking.

Finding a job with severe #tourettes motor tics is dumb and I hate it, because most people assume I am on drugs or something, and will ask during the interview, then get embarrassed and never call me back.

Or just think I am insane and strange, hiring someone else more "normal,".

If a drop of water falls in a bucket at the rate of one drop per day, by the time the next drop falls in, the previous one has all ready evaporated, never collecting enough water to even have a sip to drink, much like the drip of support so many that are #disabled and living in #poverty receive, those drips as appreciated as they provide vital support, never flow fast enough to provide actual lasting meaningful relief, leaving those of us that are vulnerable without and often shamed for having to constantly ask for support to live, if for when it rains it could pour and fill the bucket, and provide for many days, so if support where to pour in, and bring true relief allowing those in need the means to live, if only people could see a drop in a bucket only adds up if it is constant, so much this disabled man living in poverty needs, but the random drops often come to infrequently and far less bountiful than what is needed, if only people could truly see the value in helping those like me, You can encourage my continued useless poetic commentary on random thoughts and events, and by doing so your helping to feed, house and clothe a #disabled man living in #poverty, $5-10-15 It All Helps, via #cashapp at $woctxphotog or via #paypal at paypal.com/donate?campaign_id=…
