Honestly, if you’re not physically disabled or you don’t personally know a physically disabled person in the real world, I don’t want to hear how physical disabilities are taken more seriously than other disabilities. Because once you really begin to notice how genuinely inaccessible our society is, every crack in the sidewalk, every ramp leading to a step, every gravel path that could have easily been paved, long walks to the only ramp in the building, you realize that physically disabled people were never taken seriously.
re: that warning on mrs sandwichs door about not paying the guy with the glasses because he doesnt work there
[he doesnt actually do anything with them, of course. he just confuses them until they give him all their money and cry about their mommy issues. he can relate. he still takes their money though.]
One of the interchangeable ghouls running in 2024 is talking up his plan to tie voting rights to passing a civics test & it’s amazing watching people discuss this in neutral terms

A lot of the response to this is “oh, that’s great, next let’s restore civics education in schools”, but the entire point is that they’re not going to improve civics education. The age range gives a hint: this is a ploy to disenfranchise young voters, by, presumably, demanding they pass a test the state won’t train them for in order to get rights granted by the states. It’s like saying “oh, yes, literacy tests for voting makes sense, it’ll really inspire the South to educate black people”. It uh. Didn’t. And I think many of the people agreeing know that and support it bc it’s disenfranchising, but some seem to just agree bc it’s “COMMON SENSE” and they’re not digging any deeper?
This would be a civics test authored by a far right administration, to be clear. The tests we give immigrants are already propagandistic nonsense, imagine that in the hands of the “slavery taught people valuable skills” crowd
Also, his amendment would allow young people who can’t pass the test to vote if they join the military. This is a “service guarantees citizenship” amendment

Many young people don’t realize that the entire reason we don’t have civics, and why we have such a public degradation of critical thinking, come specifically from Republican efforts to sabotage education. Their goal in state legislatures for generations has been to destroy education to maintain control at any cost. Most states have grown out of that, but not all, and many states still have recovered important classes like civics, the arts, and other things that add value to life without also feeding into capitalist employment properties where they take science and math and wage compensation wars against everyone.
It’s the conservatives that keep healthcare in the US tied to employment, and why we don’t have paid sick days for all the sick days someone might need. Conservative values are an illness that will bring the dark ages back if we don’t keep pressure on to unfuck our governance structures.
Also because Republicans are terrified of Gen Z’s voting power and want to stop that at any cost.
This hack will save your teeth: there are no “right” and “wrong” times to brush your teeth.
It gets in your head that you brush after eating when you wake up and when you go to sleep. Yeah that’s all well and good, but those are times that don’t have a lot of motivation and control…So just…brush your teeth at a different time.
You go to the bathroom in the middle of the day and are like “I should brush my teeth” DO IT!!!! Don’t listen to the other half of that sentence that says “shit but it’s not the right time”
I don’t care if you’re about to eat, or get coffee, or whatever.
If you are there and you want to…do it.
Honestly this hack will solve most of problems. Just stop assigning meaningless “right” and “wrong” to tasks and start saying “I can pretty much do whatever I want whenever I want and society and its expectations don’t really matter to me”.
If there’s no barrier in the first place you don’t have to get over it.
huge ADHD hack. if you can get over the “all or nothing”, moralizing, judging aspect of every action you “should” take, you’ll discover you can get more done than you expect.
I’m a big fan of the 2 PM shower. spend a whole morning feeling lazy and guilty, then just decide to start the day over again, even if it is lunchtime.
you can always begin again. any hour, any moment can be the beginning. you can choose that. the clock doesn’t run you, you run the clock
