getting teary eyed thinking about gerda gottlieb's paintings of her wife after she transitioned

God I so needed to hear this.

As someone who suffers from both a connective tissue disease and severe early onset arthritis I'm forced to use a cane for both the pain and that additional ever present threat of dislocating joints...

If I walk or exercise without a mobility aid, I almost always break something, twist, or dislocate a joint. And so cooking is so so hard for me, and as much as I actually love to cook, my progressive physical disability is making it painful these days.

I feel so guilty for breaking my bank with takeout or expensive microwave meals but god I just can't afford to do anything else. It never occured to me how this weird nuclear family ideal also instilled this ableist idea in my mind that I need to be cooking for every meal and that me not physically being able to is my own fault... That's obviously ridiculous but I never really thought of it. Probably because of the shame.

For those who have overactive guilt complexes like me…

It's also what us process theologians believe, seeing that we took a lot from Spinoza and Hegel.

I’m in this sort of mood tonight

-asking your opinion on different chassis layouts, and seeing them the next day after they've applied your opinions without telling you they would
