Have a picture of Hazel, the very first time she has ever jumped on a counter without something to jump on first!
Rip our kitchen counters.

mastodon 4.7.3I'm private because of bots and I often post my true emotions. If you're okay with that, and you use alt text, then let's be mutuals!

I block ableist responses. I also block the tone police because ACAB.
I am NEVER asking for diabetes advice. I've probably had it longer than you've been alive.
I unfollow for too much inaccessibility. Also, #NoBots please

Last night, middle of the night, I'm up with extreme nerve pain, but here comes this guy to sit with me and purr. When I then went back to bed, he got on my stomach and stretched out so I could fall asleep petting him. He is only 2 1/2, but he is becoming a fine nurse Rory.

This my tail. I lovers it.

Thank you to everyone who DOES use alt text. You are inclusive, and that is pretty effing awesome. I appreciate each post you make when you use appropriate alt text, and know that you make a huge difference. Maybe it's a small thing for you, hells, maybe it's really not, but you do the thing, and you should be proud. 🫶
This cat loves #Accessibility#CatsOfMastodon
Last night I had a really bad pain flair and while I was sat in the recliner with my face trying to touch my toes and my arm dangling to the ground, this little guy decided he needed to be baby and curled up in my lap and purred while I cried.
I'm slowly trying to talk to people on here. I hear your posts but I always end up deleting my comments, thinking my sense of humor won't come across or I will be THAT person.

@georgepenney Ohhhh noooo f*** that!
You burned down the house, right?!?!? Do we need to start a fundraiser to rehome you?
I did something nice for myself. I dyed my hair. It's not the red from my pfp but dark chocolate brown.
The hair dye actually did really well with the white sparkles.
This isn't the best picture, but that's ok.
For the past year, once or twice a week, my mom tells me how she didn't sleep the night before. When I suggest she speaks to her doctor she gets furious and tells me this rarely happens and tries to tell me it happens only about once or twice a year.
She lives alone still (her doctor says this is fine) but I'm thinking maybe it will be important to track her health? Anyone have experience with #Alzheimers #Dementia and how do you track this?
Also, if anyone knows of any good free apps that they have already tested feel free to let me know! I can look up apps but if you have already tested this, I that would save me time and energy.
Thank you so much in advance. I'm overwhelmed and alone.
My mom just ranted about her 21 year old neighbor (who she actually adores most days) and said "Ugh his balls just need to drop. I'm so tired of anything with a penis."
Lol I'm just glad her ire is not pointed at me for once!
I just spent an hour on the phone with my best friend who has decided that we will chat on the phone every day, but days I have appointments, because she is far away now and she does not want me to feel alone and she loves me and wishes she could help more.
I love her. This helped me so much. Words and actions to help me get stronger.
My grandmother passed 31 years ago and I had a dream last night that I was pushing her in a wheelchair around an extremely busy thrift store and we couldn't figure out why it was so busy until we looked at the clothes and they were ALL Hello Kitty clothes. I squealed, and she clapped with happiness (she really was always supportive of things I loved) and said, "Onward! We buy all the clothes!!" and we shopped and laughed.
I can allllmost smell her perfume.
At the lab for blood draw and there are 30 numbers ahead of us. The waiting room is packed. 😭
This is a very busy weekend for me!
I finally have a ride to get bloodwork done, and we have two separate D&D games.
I play a fairy drunken master monk named Lemon in one, and in the other, I play 2 characters, one Astral Elf Way of the Long Death monk named Shera and a Fairy Sorlock named Liala.

@MostlyBlindGamer That's a good point. I went for an app idea but I think it would be better for me to use considering the amount of stress I'm under. I can track hers with a spreadsheet.
Thank you! Both you and @luce! Normally, I'm the fix it person but I'm ao overwhelmed I can't do simple things. Hell, maybe I should be asking the internet how I get a break from my mom and husband both for a few days. 😆

@Lorraine@beige.party I have always wanted a sun conure! Sherbert is such a sweet name and from your alt text she is beautiful!

@luce I need a vacation. We can't spend the money at the moment but maybe later in the year. A weekend at a hotel, alone, with room service. Just me and... silence. Maybe it will have an accessible bath or shower and I can soak for 2 days straight. Le sigh.

Replying to
@JaneinNJ That is an excellent idea, thank you! One of the things on my list to ask the doctor is what resources are available to us.
I appreciate the warning. 🫶
Replying to
@luce Oh she won't be tracking this. The app is for me to set up and track her symptoms myself.
Thanks for the suggestion! I will try that. 🫶
Replying to
@MostlyBlindGamer I brought that up twice in the last year, and she refused. She refuses 98% of my suggestions. My mom thinks I'm stupid because I'm disabled and have not gone to college.
That's why I'm trying to get an app for my phone that I can add info to.

@Fishercat 😆 Yeah, I don't THINK she has been on the counters. Her and her brother are still young so we weren't sure if she was doing it in secret, or she was scared. She is a very timid baby.
Now we have cat fights over the bathroom box. These siblings do not want to share. Lol
Oh, you want me to buy your shit online?
How about you check your site for accessibility and then we will talk.
(seriously, making the screen bigger so I can see should not mean I can't scroll down)

@Fragglemuppet@fandom.ink I was just complaining to my therapist about how much the internet gives me FOMO because of the rampant ableism.
I came to the internet because I was left out so much by my friends. I was saddened to realize it is all people.
Many 🫂 to you, if that is acceptable and wanted.
Replying to
@alice@lgbtqia.space I can't see what options you have there, but if you are willing to wait and order some, I really liked Artic Fox. I had super thin and fine baby hair, and then that hair got older and stubborn like myself. Artic Fox worked and made my hair feel soft.
But, I will also say that hair is so different for each individual and what one person likes, another will hate. This is just what I used.
Good luck, and I hope you post pictures after! Is there any particular you are going to dye it after?

And she is a Way of the Long Death monk so she actually was quite thoughtful about the whole experience. Right now she can't decide if she liked it or if it was disconcerting.
She wants to try it again and see. (Got an inspiration for that one)
Bloodwork done.
I also made chorizo, egg, and cheese burritos for the weekend.
Now... D&D!
(Whew. I'm already tired.)
Happy Hatch Day @Diana2112@beige.party!!! I hope your day is fantastic, and I ❤️ you soooo much! 🥳🎂

@luce Thanks! My air is usually purple, blue, or a shade of red. I am not used to my natural color, which this is close to. Just a tiny bit darker.

@skua It is all confusing emotionally. I'm trying to figure out how I can take care of her, my husband who is possibly going to need care soon, and save some for my disabled self.
But kind words like yours do help, so thank you.
Replying to
@skua Thank you. She just got the official diagnosis. She still can live on her own and drive, but I've noticed a decline. I've suspected something was wrong for a few years.
It is a lot. And I do not have a good relationship with her so I'm struggling a bit.
Replying to
@skua She refuses to discuss anything. I am currently only looking for an app to track her health so that when we go to the doctor, and i bring it up, and she inevitably argues, I then have more info and standing when I speak to her doctor. I already have a list for the rest and have almost gotten her completely on board with getting these.

@EndlessMason 😆
I may be old, but in my day, teachers wouldn't know accessibility if someone had smacked them with a wheelchair.
Gods now the teachers of fedi are going to come for me. Sigh.
Replying to
@jupiter_rowland ok.
First. I didn't say to keep them short. I said that you don't need to be a wordsmith telling a literal story. My post, was for people who don't write alt text because they are intimidated by stories being woven. I was supporting THEM.
Second. You have put a lot of thought into alt text and I applaud that. Genuinely.
Third. You CAN post the name of a building and just say, "the main building on Nebadon Izumi's campus." And give a brief description. Maybe compare it to a more famous building? I don't know, because no I have never heard of it.
Fourth. Something I always recommend is to, if one has time, to spend a day or two with their eyes closed while using the internet. Sometimes that is a helpful experience.
In conclusion, you do you. Are you explaining the photo in a way someone can understand what it is? Yes? Done! No, that's ok because this is a skill we learn.

@MostlyBlindGamer I have signal, but I'm not making my elderly family members switch apps. It has to be something that only I use.

No more sipping on milky bean water in the morning. We could be sipping Fun Fit Juice.
Yay!! My mom texted me: I'll call in a few. I'm on the pot.
I call her at 8, and if she is pooping she usually just answers, and then if it gets loud, she asks if she can call me back.
💩😑
Replying to
@EndlessMason I have a friend that instead of posting the image or gif she says, image/gif free post, and then describes what she would have posted. I love when she responds that way!
Replying to
@zersiax@cupoftea.social thank you. I'm someone who needs online accessibility and I am tired of being told what will help me by sighted people who have never struggled a day in their lives.
A.I. will never help me because it is being trained by ableist able bodied people.
