Rainbow Bridge by Paul Violano (2023). A symbolic portrayal of the journey taken by pets and their owners to the afterlife, where they are joyfully reunited.
Signing off for the last time.
I am sorry.
Try to be better.
Veranda, Arial or Helvitica and warming to Atkinson Hyperlegible.
You don’t know what real work is.
Never worked as hard as I have.
Your uneducated ignorance is bliss- not one I could or would ever abide by.
#Disability #NaturalDisasters #Poverty can happen to anyone.
I hope they experience it, along with the gaslighting & refusal of aid that comes with it.
Lovely, condescendingly accusatory, abusive, & intimidating (also essentially purposeless) visit from the real estate.
Why bother? Other than to lay another boot in & laugh at my anguish?
Unearned privilege, power, & wealth coupled with your apathy don’t impress me.
Shhh. Don’t say that so close to Caesar.
Very fragile that one, despite being as constant as the North star…

If I am lucky, reunited with loved ones.
Two new dog toys on a cardboard box: one is a tough orange fox with enrichment chew nubs on flanks, and the other is a plush grey elephant with rope limbs and a leopard-print belly.
Missy, a black and white dog, lies on a grey cushioned bed on a wooden deck, holding a bright yellow duck toy between her paws.
The last two dog toys I will ever get to give to my beautiful Missy.
Real Estate are forcing their way in to further intimidate & humiliate tomorrow.
Friday morning the police will physically remove me.
Feel like a child again, frozen in fear, my abusers closing in & the public & powers to be turning a blind eye.
No escape, unworthy of love or support.

I need to eat something, give me 20 minutes?
I’m embarrassed for our country when Shine Lawyers take $50+ million while Aboriginal class action members get peanuts. It’s exploitation all over again. The bastards. #4corners
Just trying to spend my time giving love to all of my fur children without bawling like a newborn.
I am sorry for the belated response. Had to see a client and they were having a bad day which then made our appointment super long because I always want them to end on a positive note.
Which continued a similar downward spiral in me.
Yes, I've tried many, including People With Disability Australia, TASC National, ADA Australia, InCommunity, Wesley Mission (STARH), QAI, The Micah Project, DANA, the Salvation Army, St Vincent's, Mangrove Housing, and my university.
One even tried to send me to a crisis centre for teenage girls 🤦♂️
The Department of Housing & Public Works stated via email that they will review my application in September.
As they know, that's too far off to prevent my end.
As one charity told me, that's what they do. Lie, postpone, delay, avoid.
The problem will resolve when we are dead.

This last week, I'm finishing how I spent the vast majority of my life.
Through providing pro bono services, I had the privilege of learning (via horribly abusive abelist systems) to those in need, without a voice but with the empathy, understanding & insight they deserve.
#Disabled #Education
Unfortunately, it is not just me. The powers that be could take steps to prevent and slow it down, but will not.
It does feel like badly disguised eugenics.
I'm not sure they know.
Dept of Housing claimed my #DSP & modest tutoring/mentoring income exceeds "eligibility limits" despite being well under the limits & not sustainable.
The NDIS rejected my claim because my DL expired, despite my ID being officially approved back in April.
I've until Wed.
I’m trying. Please know I am.
I don’t want to fail others.
An aerial view of a dusty military camp features the word "GOODBYE" spelled out on the ground with white rocks. The sparse camp includes tents, empty wooden frames, and scattered equipment, evoking the final scene from the M*A*S*H series finale, "Goodbye, Farewell and Amen," originally aired in 1983.
The number two, created from the intertwined form of a human figure kneeling with head bowed low towards their chest, hands clasped in their lap. The person’s profile shows sullen, wet eyes and a posture expressing deep despair, as if begging for assistance with the knowledge no one will listen. The glowing, muscular lines of their body illuminate a dark, heavy setting, with pendulous black clouds looming overhead, emphasising a sense of emotional exhaustion, emptiness, and weariness.
#auspol signed my death sentence today.
I have been informed I am not eligible for assistance from the Government for housing because I don’t meet “core requirements”.
So being multiple permanent #Disabled in #Poverty #ActuallyAutistic #Homeless & #NoSupport but they just don’t care.
Fuck you.

Do you support students (or colleagues) who hyperfocus—for better or worse?
Learn what causes it, the roles of dopamine and executive function, and how neurodivergent brains (like mine!) can thrive by working with—not against—their natural wiring.
#ActuallyAutistic #Poem
A two-panel cartoon depicts a dilemma. In the first panel, a gloved hand hovers between two red buttons: one labelled "Write 500 words" and the other "Hyperfocus 4184 words and 12 drafts." In the second panel, a person wipes sweat from their brow, with the dilemma presented below, and large text at the bottom reading "#ACTUALLYAUTISTIC." The meme highlights the experience of autistic individuals who may find it challenging to do a simple writing task without becoming intensely focused and producing much more work than intended.
Lullabye (Goodnight, My Angel) for sentimental reasons.
We will all be together again soon ♥️
