Trying to find a new mastodon server that will be ok with a curmudgeonly, nihilistic, potty-mouthed, nearly 50 year old woman who may or may not add alt-text to photos (depending on brain functions) is a PITA.

You'd think the disability server would be ok with someone's disabilities - you'd be wrong.

Alt text - while I understand accessibility and try my hardest to alt text, my brain doesn't work like that. In order for me to write alt text it takes me a full hour of analyzing what it is I should describe. I don't like telling people what they *should* see. I agonize over it. So.. I will be moving servers tomorrow, after my archives download, to a place that won't harass me about alt text on a post about my dead friend.

Boot me if you fucking want to.

@RonniesaurusHex I am more than slightly inebriated so I hope that made sense like my brain says it does heh

@RonniesaurusHex I hear you though in a slightly different way. I have insulin security (and entirely lack housing security as an un-housed person) because I have Medicaid while I watch my other insulin dependent friends struggle to afford the insulin they need to live. Everyone should have this access, I don't understand our world.

I trade off a normal life where I'm not completely destitute because dragging myself over the poverty line is a death sentence because of diabetes.

Sometimes things just hit you in the face out of nowhere. Watching a You Tube video and see my dead friend's name. We weren't super close but had several conversations at the Maryland Renaissance Festival. Mayhem was a great big, gentle, bear of a man.
People who constantly hum should have their vocal cords perma-snipped. #FridayThoughts
Undercut my hair in October. Already grown out enough to ponytail. How long before I shave my entire head??
Yay spring is coming. Got my hands in the dirt today and potted 8 fig tree cuttings that have been living in my shower in a jug of water for 2 months. #Gardening
Hide your number better scanners. Someone in Germany calling to tell me my electricity will be shut off in 30 mins. I'm homeless.
@MonarchLady I always just assume I'm an obstacle on NASCAT track.
