Missouri Citizens - Call to Restore State Aid for Libraries

A post I made a few days ago about the Missouri Legislature’s proposal to defund public libraries really blew up.

I’m happy to have helped spread the word about this issue as it’s not getting enough mainstream attention.  But frustrated at the tone of the original post and the thought that it’s become a part of many people’s daily doomscroll.

This is bad, but there are things we all can and should do to make it better.

If you are a Missouri citizen, please go here and fill out the short form.  It will use your address to contact your state senator about reinstating the full State Aid funding to Missouri's libraries.  You can also customize the message and I encourage you to do so.

If you have time and energy, consider calling your senator’s office as well.  You can find out who your representatives are and find their contact information here.  A short phone call letting them know you are a constituent and this issue is important to you can do a lot of good.

Ignore the naysayers who claim that contacting your representatives is a waste of time.  I know people who intern in these offices and collect information on what the public contacts their representatives about.  If enough people call about the same issue, it raises the profile of that issue on their agenda.  It can make a difference, especially in a case like this where the mainstream media is not focusing on the story.

Please take a few minutes of your time if you are a Missourian to make your voice heard on the importance of libraries.  And please reblog and spread the word even if you’re not a Missourian.  With your help, maybe we won’t have to fight this fight in your homestate as well.  Thank you.

It just infuriates me to no end how everyone is expected to be/act neurotypical in the workplace. I almost quit my job today because of the way I was treated.

"You didn't hear 4 people tell you this thing?"

No, I didn't. Or I wouldn't be doing whatever it was you're upset with me for.

"Did you not see me move this thing from here to here cause you were putting it in the wrong place?"

No. I didn't. And even if I did, that wouldn't have registered in my mind that I was doing something wrong. You cannot be passive aggressive with me, you have to tell me directly or I am not going to understand or know.

I'm constantly told that I'm not being efficient or fast enough when I am going as fast as I can. I'm constantly told that I'm "wasting time" when I'm having to step aside and calm myself down because all the noises and lights overstimulate me.

To add on, you can't tell me one day that everything is fine and be all smiles and on my side and then turn around and say "we're heading down a bad path" and "everyone is frustrated with you. I'm not going to sugarcoat it anymore." Why were you sugarcoating it before? I told you not to do that and tell it to me straight or I'm not going to get it.

These people just do not understand how my mind works and it baffles me to think that this is what is expected of everyone.

Please... make places more accepting and understanding for neurodivergent people to work in. We can do better.

Maybe it's just bc I don't follow enough dc people here but holy fuck why does TIKTOK of all places acknowledge Duke as both a robin and a member of the batfam more than you guys? The only reason I don't post more about him is bc I've read a grand total of like 6 comic and only 4 of them have him in them we gotta do better

🔞 for Kerry because I desperately need to know what that man considers sexy attire

Lmao thanks for asking!! 💛 I didn't know either until I looked up "slutty man shirts" on pinterest and found out that me and the internet have very different opinions when it comes to sexy attire 😂😂😂

Actually I was very torn between doing something legit serious or fun so I went for both options (thanks @greypetrel for reminding me that both. both. both. both is good)

🔞 OC in something sexy

He's a farmboy, of course he doesn't need much else << I think the outfit came with a hat but somehow he managed to lose it - or maybe is an excuse for having someone to give it back?? 👀

Also the pride month official apparel because nothing screams gay more than a pair of crocs worn in the correct manner

#ask meme #oc outfit doodle asks #hawke #kerry #these would have been less funny if the pose didn't came out so naughty I was too ashamed of myself to keep going #and you know I give no shit when it comes to committing to naughty poses lmao #prosciuttone bello de mamma 💛 #also what is it with gays and crocs nowadays #I know the straights found out about sandals so now we can't live without seeing atrocious feet in public BUT CROCS ARE NOT THE ANSWER #we can do better #this message was provided by a person who unironically wears espadrillas

Actually, thinking about ableism and the chronic pain essay link I just posted made me think about Rachael Sterling's latest essay about Dame Diana's last days, and about how Diana found it humiliating to need help with a lot of basic stuff.

And I just gotta say: Diana, and all of us, have been so incredibly badly served by our ableist society that treats basic human functions as inherently "dirty" or "gross," and our ableist society that treats needing help with those functions as shameful.

The vast majority of humans who live past a certain age almost certainly will become disabled at some point before they die. This disability may entail the need for help with hygeine and toileting and other bodily functions.

I therefore am here to tell you that

it is not shameful to need help caring for your hair

it is not shameful to need help caring for your teeth

it is not shameful to need help bathing

it is not shameful to need help with toileting

it is not shameful to need help with eating and drinking

your body, in whatever shape it finds itself, is good and right and beautiful and is worthy of being helped and loved and fed and clean

I only wish that Dame Diana had known this; it would have saved her a lot of emotional pain at the most difficult time of her entire life.

And no, I'm not blaming Diana for how she felt, like, at all. She was a victim of an ableist society, one that told her that needing help with these things is humiliating. She was done a grave disservice by her culture. We've all been done that disservice. But we can change things. We can do better.

We can be magnificent

one of my favorite panels from any comic ever (obviously! I've used it as my user icon here and on Facebook and Twitter for years!), from the little online shop run by the comic's creators, Brett Parson (artist) and Alan Martin (writer)

they write, "Originally printed in 2016, after the election of a certain President, it seems the sentiment of this image is still striking a chord."

YOUR MISSION also comes from the TANK GIRL EMERGENCY POSTER MAGAZINE:

that's right

such important sentiments for our time

BSG fans, maybe unpopular opinion here, but I hate the ship name “space parents.” Like, I feel like it puts Adama and Roslin in this box where they are relegated to be the mom and dad characters, protectors and wholesome only, whereas my thoughts about them are rarely wholesome. Like, they are protectors and do parent some, but they are so much more than that. They are passionate and driven and complex. They fight, they flirt, they frak. I know I’m probably being too literal and it definitely is not important, but something in my autistic brain just chafes at “space parents” like I’m being rubbed with sandpaper. (Tho maybe I’m also misunderstanding it and it’s Zaddy and Milf that we’re referring to? 😂 i still don’t like it, even if that’s the case.) Is it just me?

We used to have air raid drills

Because the old white men

Who always knew best

Thought making us kids

Crouch under a desk or

In the hall at school

Would somehow leave our

Perfectly preserved

Radioactive

Little bodies

Was somehow better

Than saying

Sorry

We can do better

If we would just talk

Today

There are a few bunkers

Where the elites

Can hide underground

With their bags of money

The rest of us

Left to run amok

When the internet

Goes down

And we transform

Into a community

Of mass cremation

Just talk, guys

And get some therapy

Let us live

.
