Ok bet. I’m getting on the phone with a lawyer right now. Gotta hit google to find one close to me quick. Causing catastrophic drama in my family from the afterlife over the distribution of my meager pitiful belongings sounds like my type of party.

Nonono have a will bc the worst ppl will swoop in before everyone else and your true loved ones will lose everything of you, sometimes before they ever knew you died. Even just vaguely leaving your stuff to someone you trust will distribute it is better than nothing. Happened to my fam SIX times

Wills are rich people advice. That's not advice for people who don't have much.

My family can go through my meager belongings after I die and keep what they want. I see no need to get lawyers involved. Plus, no money for lawyers. No money period.

So basically you're telling me I'm supposed to get a lawyer & draw some papers up to see how I can redistribute nothing after I die?

There's no point for me to have a will. That advice sounds so bougie to me. This is not the time for you to instruct me on why it's imperative for me to have a will. I literally have few belongings, most expensive thing I own is a years old computer, I have no house, no car, a negative net worth.

Yeah, not gonna say people whose mental illness doesn't allow them functionality under capitalism have a walk in the park, but it's kinda the pits being highly insane & being functional, because you basically have to keep this façade of being sane that you're desperately paddling under like a duck.

That's great. It's because I'm a southern Black person & a Black radical. We have the most accurate analysis of America's fascism through bearing the brunt of it, so we developed ways of moving through threat realistically because deep threat is normalized for us & don't burden ourselves with fear.

If y'all are gonna war with each other on something someone else posted, & assault the original poster with your verbal violence as your argument continues to reach them as notifications, avoid Black women users, I'd like to ask that much.

Bluesky works so that all your replies go back to the original user. So you & your enemies verbally abused me for about a day. It's not cool by me, I don't feel like accepting an apology, I feel like all y'all getting the hell on.

when i wrote at a large website with a message board and had a decent twitter following, the number one thing people said about/to me was that i shouldn't be this angry all the time. two years after i left that job, my disability forced me out of the workforce and into SSDI limbo.

The characteristics of abusers are privileged for success under capitalism & in society in general. If you have the traits of being an exploitative person who uses people & abuses power dynamics, you have a high likelihood of being successful, greatly increased if you're a white man.

They also gaslight us at wvery possible moment and some cases compare our handicap and disabilities to others. "They were able to do it, why can't you?" It hurts and it's beyond demoralizing.

Black people's humor is the engine of social media. Black people produced twitter into the phenomenon it became before its sad fall under Musk. Our dialect was appropriated across it. The gifs of images of ourselves became appropriated across it. Without stealing from us there's no social media.

The thing is, the disabled are a population of enraged people. The disabled are carrying a deep rage because not only is ableism embedded in nearly everything in our world, but people without our vulnerabilities are hostile to making anything better for us. Also society does not accept our rage.

Honestly, the skin tone of emojis is limited. We know that. But using emojis that match your skin tone as well as you can is one of the simplest ways you can ethically signal your ethnicity online. And Black people tend to be deeply scornful of others using Black emojis. @wagatwe.com

So my weed man walks the spirit realm too & is connected to his ancestors & has prophetic dreams & stuff & said his spirits told him to put something in his bag for me. He was worried that because he's busy, he'd failed to heed the sign. I assured him his spirts were just signaling I'd be in touch.
