Fun fact! Ridiculous Fishing has a soundtrack by Eirik Suhrke who also did Spelunky, Downwell & UFO 50. He is IMO one of the most underrated composers in the space, I love his work. This has nothing to do with Nuclear Throne really, but I went down a Vlambeer rabbit hole remembering this game recently and just had to gush for a minute.

Oh I had no idea there were stickers...I know what I'm filling the blank spots on my laptop with now.

What's the lil crochet cozy? Is it just to hold cables together? I smell a new project...

This happens to me online and IRL nearly all of the time. I've stopped worrying anymore and just make a virtue of it. There is no point in stressing myself over it anymore. I can't play these constant social games; say what you mean and mean what you say, I say.

Barely alive, hardly living.

This is after the sudden death of Twitter user @MECFSComrade, Megan Pendleton, who was a beloved activist and friend to many suffering with ME/CFS. I am sick of seeing us die, killed by the negligent systems and people around us, many of them with the gall to call themselves "comrade." I am still mourning the deaths of Alice Wong and Leslie Lee III, and now here is another. How many more will it take? Too many. The abled have so much blood on their hands, and they better pray to whatever power they worship that they are never made to answer for it. COVID kills. Wear a mask. Support us while we are still here, or you are no better than the enemy.

Thank you for ceding to my content demands. Further instruction will be forthcoming.

In this thread alone I was told "it's not that serious bro," when I am not a bro, lol. I can go digging for receipts, but to be honest I don't want to. There are so many posts complaining about this from the last several years of deleted users who left because of it that I don't feel like this is a question in good faith from someone who has been paying attention for a length of time.

 

Pitting the need for state and systemic change against individual and community change sets up a false binary. Both are necessary to get out of the pandemic mess we are in, just as both are necessary for any kind of liberation we are fighting for. If transformative justice teaches us anything, it is that systemic change alone is not enough. There are also many changes that must happen at the community and individual levels as well.

(personal note: most of you are here, and you are failing spectacularly.)

This pandemic will create millions more disabled people with chronic illnesses. Are we ready for what is coming next? Are we prepared for how many more disabled people with chronic health conditions there will be? Are we ready for how that will and should necessarily shift our movements and political work? Or are we going to continue to shut out disability and disabled people from movements and communities? Are we going to continue to not include ableism and abled supremacy in our liberation work?

Disabled people are not disposable. We are your feared present and your inevitable future. We are what age and time promise more than anything else, and this is one reason you fear us and why you have continually pushed us away and hidden us.

Nearly four years ago, which itself was two years into this pandemic, and nothing has changed. I'm beginning to think nothing will change. Well, that's wrong. There will be more and more death and maiming while the elephant trumpets on. I would say adapt or die, but my bets are on death winning if the last six (!!) years are any indication. Hope it's worth it.

 

Hooray...
