Please help, as I have not gotten anything and I'm really trying to get things taken care of and need some help.
I am a disabled non-binary individual who unable to work, and I need to raise funds to buy medications not covered by insurance and cat food/litter. I've got doctor's appointments this coming week I need to be able to get to. I'm trying to at least get $50 in the short term so I can get my bus pass before the cutoff tomorrow.
Today in 1915, 109 years ago: the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) was created in the United States. It is the predecessor organization of the US space agency, NASA.
Thank you, Teri @Teri_Kanefield! (And thank you Chuck @ATurnOfTheNut!) I hadn't read Stephanie Jones' writing until now. She's great. Her writing really gets you, right in your heart.
@outer@Teri_Kanefield@ATurnOfTheNut Thanks for sharing. I read her entire blogpost and found it be so affecting. It was great. Being of the same generation and ethnic background as Stephanie, I could so relate to her feelings about her dad. Mine, unfortunately, died young. But her dad’s philosophy was just like my mom’s and my grand-parents’: we’ve been through the worst of oppression, but never gave up. Don’t you give up either, as the next generation. @blackmastodon#blackmastodon
I think as well as sharing my Autistic experiences I'm going to also try and share information about my combination of chronic diseases and what it does to an individual's body over time... It seems many people I am close to have never even heard much about Celiac's or especially Graves' disease...
English novelist, biographer, memoirist, historian and short story writer E. F. Benson died #OTD in 1940. Benson was a precocious and prolific writer. His first book was Sketches from Marlborough, published while he was a student. He started his novel-writing career with the fashionably controversial Dodo. The Mapp and Lucia series, written relatively late in his career, consists of six novels and two short stories. via @wikipedia
Huge fan of the Mapp & Lucia series. I even made the pilgrimage to Rye, an almost perfect match for Tilling in the novels, where Benson lived while writing them. Specific places were repurposed for the narrative, so you can read the books and accurately follow in the footsteps of the characters.
I think of Mapp & Lucia as two dinosaurs locked in an epic struggle for dominance, while constrained by the social rules of the 1930s. @bookstodon
☝️ anybody in the @actuallyautistic community have any leads for Indigenous Autistic bloggers for @limbicnoodle ? Especially focused on identity and advocacy.
