"fun fact: as a DV survivor i cannot register to vote because doing so makes my address public. anyone who is fleeing or hiding from an abuser is automatically disenfranchised from the political process and this is a feature, not a bug"]

It should 100% be illegal for companies to make you give them your payment information when you sign up for a free trial version of their product. It is not necessary and there is no good fucking reason for them to do it. It’s blatantly just so they can steal forgetful customers’ money.

I was just told by guest services in target that service dogs in training are not required to be under control of the handler, and that my concerns about my safety and my SD’s safety were irrelevant despite the hound mix on a 20’ long line was in training and that I can’t make people leave if I don’t like them.

The service dog in question? A barking and lunging hound mix on a long line that was trying to drag the handler to my dog. They had to be over 30’ away from me before the dog calmed down. At no point was the dog closer than 10’ to the handler. This dog was clearly not under verbal or physical control of the handler. I told the handler to please control their dog, and they told me my dog was doing the same thing (pulling) by preforming forward momentum pull, on a hands free leash, in a heel. But ok.

I called the location and told the staff member that the ADA requires the dogs to be under basic control of the handler and a dog lunging and pulling on a long line is not that. She said the dog is in training and I have to understand that training takes time and the dog is young. I said if a dog is lunging and barking at me, it is endangering me and my dog. If I have a cardiac event and my dog is too distracted to alert, I could fall and hit my head. On tile? That could be a concussion or worse. It’s happened to me before. The representative hung up on me.

I called corporate immediately after and I think I heard the corporate equivalent of “oh god oh fuck”. In under 2 minutes I was connected to a guest experiences manager who basically comped my purchase in gift cards and said they are very concerned about this behavior from their staff. I offered to provide educational materials to the store that educates them about their rights as employees and how to handle poorly behaved service dogs.

The gift cards are nice, but they don’t fix the problem. I would rather be assured what steps will be taken to correct this in the future.

Service dog laws exist to prevent my dog from missing alerts by educating the public what may be disruptive to a dog’s ability to work.

When you fail to protect service dog laws, public spaces can become very unsafe for the disabled very quickly.

Please boost this, people need to understand that fake service dogs and untrained dogs presented as service dogs are dangerous to people who rely on task trained service dogs for their safety every day.

- your alarm rings but you are too tired. you set an alarm for five minutes later and go back to sleep. when you wake again, it is light outside and the alarm never went off. it was set for five hours later. you could have sworn you set it to five minutes later.

- your clothes are organized in piles on the bedroom floor. occasionally a shirt moves from one pile to another. you do not remember moving it.

- your desk at work is organized but not. “i have a system” you tell yourself. you are worried someone will discover the truth. you must not let others know you are struggling. your desk at work is organized but not.

- you did not take your meds. your brain is static. you did take your meds. your brain is accelerated static. last week your meds worked well. are they working well today? did you remember to take them? did you even refill your prescription last month?

- your assignment is due in november. it is september. your assignment is not due soon. it is end of october, but your assignment is not due until november. it is november 15th. where is your assignment? you go to bed, it is now november 27th. why do you turn in work late?

- you go to work to make money. you know you make money because you are told you do. your bank account doesn’t change much. you spend more because you are told you make money. you haven’t looked at your bank account for a few weeks now. it makes you anxious.

- there was something you were supposed to do. you didn’t do it, and you disappointed someone. you do not know who. it will come to you eventually, perhaps.

- you trip over a half-knit scarf. one of the needles is missing. you tried to learn knitting a year ago and forgot about the scarf. how long has this been on the floor? where is the other needle? you do not remember how to knit.

- you find yourself growing bored and unconsciousness slips into your periphery. you throw yourself into your work. if you are busy you will not sleep. if you are bored you will sleep. fight the sleep as long as you can. you cannot sleep at night.

- you do not eat and you eat too much. 

- your friends ask why you do not reply to their messages. it is overwhelming and you are so tired. you send too many messages at once and are filled with guilt. your friends keep texting you and you do not know why.

- your eyes blur when you read. you skim the words and do not retain. you skimmed this post and did not retain. you do not remember what the first bullet on this post was. you might not have read this last bullet, either. you will still tag the post as though you read it. you understand its essence, and that is okay.

#F*CK it's me #the more i read about people's ADHD experiences the more i wonder about myself #also i did NOT need that callout at the end

Now that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and The White House have finalized new nondiscrimination provisions under Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act, it is more important than ever to know your rights and what to do if you face discrimination. 

To better explain what these protections mean, Out2Enroll partnered with trans comic artist, Dylan Edwards, on a series of illustrated discrimination situations. 

Read up on your rights with this guide from Out2Enroll >>

Yep, I still won't be going to an exercise class indoors.

(Mostly because I HATE WEARING A MASK while exercising. I can barely manage 30 minutes in the fitness center at work with only 3 other people in the whole area)

Ramadan Mubarak to all of my fellow Muslims, especially those who cannot fast. Just because you cannot fast does not mean this is not an important month ❤

hi! so i just found out that youtube is adding a new source of revenue to videos, “applause”. on every video there will be an ability to donate money directly to the channel.

major issue! youtube takes 30% of the cut. now they’ve been doing that with superchats for years, no big surprise. however you should know that if you donate through mobile, it takes an additional 30%.

so only 40% of your donation may reach the creator.

just support them on patreon, kofi or streamlabs. youtube is garbage

#hadn't heard of this #thought i'd share

Another woman utterly failed by our society’s devaluation of women’s reproductive health. We can’t wait around for male doctors to decide what we need to know. This is why we need to take control and educate ourselves about our own bodies.
