*Opening A Package Of Italian Meatballs For Some Spaghetti I'm Making*

A loving reminder that if you are so disabled that you cannot work, and especially if you are getting some kind of government assistance because you cannot work, and especially if you feel guilty because other disabled people have to work: You are not lazy. You DO deserve to indulge in things that bring you joy.

You are a government employee and your Full Time Job is to keep yourself at a minimum baseline of Alive and Not Miserable.

Your job is to watch videos that entertain and engage you.

Your job is to play video games so you can keep some kind of joy in your life.

Your job is to rest as much as you physically can to conserve energy.

Your job is to cook for yourself and take joy in it if you find it joyful, even if that's the only thing you can manage in a day.

Your job is to make yourself as comfortable and stress-free as you can, even if that means bed-rotting.

It is what you get paid to do. Because being disabled IS a full time job. And it's hard work.

Be kind to yourself.

A family member of mine had surgery recently and hearing that them and their partner have been feeling a little Not Great trying to keep up with everything, I went into my stash of meats and veggies I've been building up in my freezer for a while to make them a bunch of meals so they could have one less task on their plate :3

I managed to make a total of 20 meals for them, 4 plates of 5 different kinds (Stir fry as well, but not pictured here as they picked that one up yesterday before I was done cooking everything) and a lemon cake for dessert!

Took me 15 hours cause I'm a slow cook, But I'm really really proud :D

So real, esp when it's something like "we need to talk later" No, no. You don't get to do that to me, we talk now, thank you

Having to wait a long time while in short-term waiting is so exhausting. I have trouble not getting angry at people who unintentionally put me in that state.

"Hey! Let me help you!"

Drew my SkyKid. I saw so many artists posting their skids and it made me really motivated to draw mine again!

If I had to give him a name, I think it would be something like Empathetic Bodyblocker, because my absolue favourite thing to do is jump in frint of krills and tank hits that might have otherwise got other Skids hurt

I gave him the injury from Wounded Warrior's mask, both because I thought it was fitting, and because I frequently wear that mask if I'm not wearing Saluting Protector's mask!

Guys I think I might be kinda okay at drawing flowes???

I'm having a great time, I'm so excited

Testing 1 2 3!

This is me learning how to make a Tumblr post, Hello world :D

I'm not very savvy with Social Media, despite being Gen Z. I've never really been all that interested in sharing my life online and I've never really gotten the appeal. I tend to keep to myself a lot IRL and online, and I'm happy that way. But I want to try. Mostly because I need somewhere to talk about my day and just throwing things like "I made mac and cheese, Hell Yeah" at the internet feels like an acceptable outlet.

Despite being Grammatically Incorrect, I tend to italicize words I want to put importance on. I'm not sure where the habit came from, but it scratches my brain.

Also, I really need to turn off Grammarly.

Yippee, I made a banner for my blog out of some of my favourite outfits :D

Is it a law that every Assassin's Creed game needs a section that plays like absolute ass???

I'm playing Liberation and trying to navigate around the Bayou is like pulling teeth. Can't walk through bushes, climbing the trees is driving me nuts, I accidentally parallel parked a canoe into a corner and couldn't get it free.

I swear there was a similar "why do you control like this???" Section in 3.

Sometimes the games will feel SO good. Jumping, following a path, running seamlessly. Sometimes I want to bang my head against the wall. I loved 3 to pieces and I want to love Liberation too but good lord the controls are rough

I've been learning to like foods that I was scared of or thought were gross as a kid, and it's kind of fun.

For the longest time I thought bell peppers were something that I would only enjoy cooked. Same with tomatoes, but I'm starting to like them both raw too, now. Toss a couple sticks of bell pepper on a wrap, some sliced tomato on a burger. It's nice. With both of them, I had that initial fire alarm in my head going "Nooo this is doing to taste bad, Do Not Put That In Your Mouth" but I shoved past it and found it wasn't so bad. Little successes in life.

And sure, maybe I still only like the bell pepper sticks in wraps, and the tomatoes have to be sliced pretty thin (or salted), but I'm trying new things, and eating more vegetables, and I think that counts for something. Maybe my next Brave Adventure will be trying to eat onions raw too

Pathetic. Weak. Miserable.

I love him with all of my heart. Cute aggression except the cute mf is terribly, horribly pitiful
