I am a cis-woman (she/her). I like to read books, physical or digital, and play video games. I primarily play "retro" games on the PS1/2, Wii, 3DS, and a couple of repurposed thin clients running Windows 98 SE and Windows XP for games of their vintage.
Brief Bio
My cats are my fur babies and I adore them.
I'm chronically disabled w/ multiple conditions and live in the USA, in Alaska. I am a trauma survivor and live with a complex dissociative disorder. I've been learning how to live happily in adulthood.
What is your pfp?
My pfp is a picture of the character Professor Finkle. He's from an old educational game called Professor Finkle's Times Table Factory. If not the professor persona, I also like to use the pirate one. Look up the songs on YouTube. It'll all make sense.
Vestibular disorders affect people's balance as well as their visual perception of their world around them. Don't make animations, sliders, videos, or rapid movement start automatically, as autoplaying elements could trigger a bad reaction in people who have vestibular disorders.
Hey #DisabledSocial! We are in need of more moderators for disabled.social. Preferably two to three more. The work would involve a training, then periodically during the week reviewing moderation reports. Other duties would include working in Signal together to troubleshoot issues or to talk through a report if needed. Time commitment would be only a few hours a week.
Please contact myself and our team at our email: newmodcall at disabled.social (change at to @ and remove spaces).
Please boost this post! *The vote is ONLY for #DisabledSocial members, but other servers’ members may comment!*

i also have a page about the long covid cognitive and emotional effects i experienced and what i have done to recover so far. It feels very vulnerable but i feel that information out there is very limited about such a stigmatized topic. https://forestine.neocities.org/cvid
I wish there was more I could say than just do the best you can where you can. So much stuff is trying to say you should just give up. That would be giving our enemies exactly what they want. This is a marathon, not a sprint, and the problem spans a global scale. They don't just lie to those of us living here; they lied to everyone outside of this country, too. This gives us more allies who also see it (regular people, I mean). What the future is going to look like, and what happens, IDK.
Someone like myself is not supposed to slip through the cracks, have the time, support, and resources to start putting pieces together. Please note that I do not say this out of a, “Look how special and smart I am,” way. I am very stupid. The more I do learn, the more I learn how dumb I am.
This shit is done all on purpose. I know I hang on by a thread. Many of us live this. I hope this reaches and helps whoever reads this.
I'm convinced that we're all deliberately underpaid across the board. I have been unable to unsee this after reading “The View from Flyover Country”. They do this to keep us all in survival mode, where we do know that it is much harder to learn new information. If people are kept comfortable, more people will be able to put the pieces together. Hard to focus on learning when so many of us are barely treading water. I am convinced they weaponize this very thing.
I can't have made it to where I am in this life, with all the wisdom and knowledge that has been shared with me. I can't go through all the shit I went through, survived as long as I have, and not share what I have learned. I know there's a way through all of this. Combating mind control is incredibly tough, but I walk each day doing this work, and see the difference. Society needs us more than ever. They need our knowledge and perspective, from all of us. That is what makes humanity rich. 🧵
I have hope, though, because every day, more and more people are breaking the mold and talking about this sort of thing. It's incredibly important to learn what you can about mind control, protect your physical and mental well-being, and encourage others to do the same. This has always been important, but in times like this it is more important than ever. I've decided that some of my energy will go towards this when I have it to spare, as a multiply-chronically-disabled person.
They don't want us to stop and notice the vast majority of us have way more in common with each other than differences. They don't want us to notice, or talk about, the fact that “two parties” are the same party. All the thought stopping is done on both sides (not just the right). For example, lots of lefties are trained to disengage and parrot establishment talking points anytime they hear what their handlers call “both siderism”. That is only one example.
