Now that I've returned just dreaming, my numbers have been lower but I haven't been as consistent because of work

There's also a thing where disabled streamers in general are less likely to have people come in. And people can say it's not ableism but it is. We are already at a disadvantage. I used to have averages between 12 and 20 usually. That was where I stayed most of the time.

I am so incredibly thankful to each and every individual human person who comes to my streams, for however long they may be there. Having a number at all means someone took time out of their day to come n pay a visit and I wouldn't trade that for the world

This is a perspective most streamers don't understand.

Through my childhood, on election nights, my dad was the man under Peter Snow’s desk putting interesting facts on notecards into his socks. That’s how it was done before Google, kids. You got a very clever ASD man with some Oxford degrees to just remember interesting constituency histories.

A gaming friend with neuromuscular disability just died. He was overcoming a respiratory illness. Respiratory illnesses are no joke for those of us with neuromuscular disabilities.

At a pride event today, a young queer person came up to our table, started to take one of our pride tote bags, and then put it down and sheepishly said "I can't. My parents will catch me." About twenty minutes later they rushed back up, grabbed it, and said "Dammit, it's cute and I want it!"

People pushing criminalization of homeless people want them to die. There are internal differences over how openly to do this or how fast. This isn’t ignorant or irrational—it is ghoulish. The stakes have to be made clear.

This right here is why I get so wrapped up in everything I do and blaming myself for everything. I constantly don't even know what to say or do because everybody's got a comment about everything! So exhausting.

Nicety is like fool's gold. It's a way of pretending you care without really caring. Kindness means you care enough to help work to change things and make them better.

Kindness softens a hardened heart. My kindness is what keeps me humble. For me, it is better to be kind. I don't have to like someone to be kind to them.

When you are in that place, nice becomes a way of silencing. Nice becomes a way of looking past harm. If you are nice in the face of adversity what does that get you? Kindness, on the other hand, is an edict to spread something that can help make the world better.

There's a kind of respectability politics behind being nice. I remember being told all the time to be a "nice girl" when I grew up but there's a time and place for being nice.

So if you're struggling… keep going. They want me to quit. They want me to give up. They want me to move on. So I don't.

Every place I've ever been brought down, I don't let it happen. I get back up. I brush myself off. And I keep going. This is how I *personally*keep going. This is how I *personally* survive and thrive. I refuse to let them win. I refuse to let anything drag me down.

The one thing that everybody who has known me across the 43 years I have been on this earth, is they know that I NEVER give up. You pushed me down, I got back up. You shoved me down, I got back up. You slammed me down. I got back up. School. Home. Community.

There are also other forms of communication, such as the language used by Deaf/Blind folks (which can be more like sign language in the palm of your hand), which is accessible to more people, including those with mobility issues.

While not everyone will be able to learn and/or sign (I personally cannot very well due to muscle weakness and inability to move my hands), those who can learn but can't sign would still be able to understand what others are saying.

Why, when we have bodies as well as vocal cords, do we value oral communication over all forms of communication? We as humans have always used some form of sign language to communicate in various ways.

There are times in our life when we don't have the ability to speak for a variety of reasons (illness, disability, accident, selective mutism, etc.) and knowing how to sign could highly benefit us during these times.

Sign language can allow babies to communicate earlier, before they are able to speak. If they speak.

I've posted a lot about how sign language should be taught along side English in school, but I also believe we should begin learning sign language as early as possible.

An article I read said that Comedy Central removed 25 years of video content from its website. So they are deleting older content. I can't find anything about Cartoon Network though

Be strong. Your resilience is how you got here today. You are stronger than you think. Be brave. It takes a brave soul to truly be themselves in the face of adversity. Be the person you are because there is only one you and the world deserves you in it.

We got tricked by science fiction into thinking a futuristic city is all about flying cars and crystal towers and hologram billboards but what it really looks like is nice apartment blocks, good mass transit, pedestrian zones with shade trees and safe bike lanes.

This is an accessibility concern. A lot of things use paste such as Dragon software, so making it harder to paste things in Windows is an accessibility issue.

This is why mask bans are suddenly being proposed. If you’re in a place where that’s happening and you think we should prioritize public and personal health and freedom over expanding the powers of the police state then please do let your representatives know why the freedom to mask matters to you
