Equity will always benefit disabled people over equality. Equality's default is a society built for non disabled folks only. Equity listens to specific needs and accommodations. 🥄🥄🥄

#Normalcy is dead.
Yet we have yet to bury it.
Climate would've killed it—if #covid hadn't.

Yet normalcy is dead.
Yet we have yet to bury it.
We only got so many #spoons.

We can bury ourselves or bury the dead.
We only got so many spoons.

Use them wisely.

There are days when you have no spoons, and there are days when you have negative #spoons

Spoon Theory created by Christine Miserandino originated as a way of explaining how we each have a certain supply of energy, and really of ourselves, to deal with things in a day. #survivor #chronicillness #spoons #selfhelp

It feels tone deaf to try to talk about anything on social media right now that isn’t the horrific situation in Minnesota. Or the Epstein files. Or Venezuela. Or. Or. Or.

I know many of us are collectively grieving while in shock and in fear. Meanwhile, we still have to pay the light bill. The mortgage is due. We’re still expected to show up for work. It’s a lot.

So it is with a bit of […]

had a little chat thru the back screen door with him, asked if he'd like a glass of cold water. we reviewed the work done so far, what else is left, what he'll tackle next today, what he'll have to leave til next time coz soon he'll be running into the appointment time of his next job. on that, he mentioned

need to go around to a lady's place to sort out a lock for her

he seems a thoroughly pleasant & courteous bloke, has always been so with me in each of our prior discourses [ie, the previous jobs he's done for me], yet, such is my terrible skullgoo, that i fixed then fixated on his not saying

need to go around to another lady's place to sort out a lock for her

similar thing happens with my mowing bloke, who i've used for very many years & who has always been great with me [& indeed, we often indulge in much silly banter]. typically when he mentions other clients, jobs, to me, he similarly mentions "a lady" or "a woman", but not "another lady" or "another woman".

it all accumulates in me, & just amply reinforces my sense of failure, thus futility.

handypeep running 50 minutes, & one month, late. already nervous-stewing in my throat-covering poloneck jumper & tinted facial spakfilla, now i have extra time for the defective skullgoo to run amok with my "equanimity" [sic].

sigh. wouldn't be dead for quids...

Check your #SocialBattery and show it to others! At the #QuietCube they have these nifty 3D printed indicators. Highly recommended if you need to budget your #spoons.

A hand holding a black tag indicating the ‘social battery’ of the bearer. There are four bars from high (blue) to low (red). Below the bars is a movable indicator. It is almost at the minimum.

Ooops. The actual finished piece.

#surrealism #art #ChickenPeople #spoons

Same piece as before but with a column coloured in and some other things on the wall that I missed.

A rooster and hen couple contemplate their relationship as their coffee grows cold. They're in Spoons Diner. It's a kitschy place with eye popping colours on the walls.

yet more nightmares of betrayal, failure, imposture

yet more daylight of utter despair

uh, must be a day ending in y

I think I am seriously out of #spoons. 😵‍💫 I’m going back to my hotel and watch some streams.

Coffee and Contemplation - 7 1/2 hours of work. I am almost done. Just cups, boxes of tea and other small things.

#wip #surrealism #Spoons #ChickenPeople #VictoriaBC #art

There are some gaps for glasses, mugs, and boxes of herbal tea. Otherwise it's a colourful diner with a couple of chicken people staring lovingly at each other while their coffee gets cold.

Spoon supply is critically low. Supply chain issues mean restocking is slow and intermittent. May have to close up shop for a bit. Not easy at this time of year.

Coffee and Contemplation - 6 1/2 hours of work. The last hour was mostly spent on drawing those little postcards on the green wall.

Rooster man and hen woman staring lovingly in each other's eyes while their coffee goes cold. On a green wall next to their booth are a series of vintage postcard collage art. The kitchen behind them is now coming together.

Sending everyone extra spoons for tomorrow. 🥄🎄

Well, the good news is, I've fixed the dishwasher door again. The bad is I seem to have used all the #spoons. Tomorrow's as well probably.

The image depicts a collection of metal spoons with distinctive curves, resembling traditional Tolowa elk-horn spoon designs. These utensils are arranged on a white surface against a backdrop that includes blurred elements suggesting motion or activity in the background. The photograph is presented as an archive item and provides insight into Native American craftsmanship from around 1923.

Was gonna make origami cards but I couldn't find my shiny origami paper and instead i found some cute cards at the back of the cabinet and so I just wrote out some heartfelt messages, and I'm gonna send them with wax seals on the outside.

Gotta choose your battles and I'm so *DONE* with this festivus prep / present disasters / courier shenanigans / varying states of illness of varying people.

I keep forgetting that even good being social knocks me so far sideways that all I've managed is a bit of washing up & hanging washing.
Whilst I loaded & started the washing around midday, it was something after 18:00 before I even got anything else done.

Just about managed feeding myself, even though I was hungry for tea I had zero idea or enthusiasm for cooking. Plan A failed as I didn't have any mixed veg in the freezer to go with whatever tinned thing I picked.
Plan B just about made it.

🎶 Hello AuDHD,
it's nice to talk with you ag-
…

OK! Come back here! …

My plans for getting a decent start on decorations flunked & has not returned.
Just finished tea 'bout half an hour ago & it's already pretty much supper time, if I want a chance of waking up early enough & feeling remotely productive tomorrow, that is.
