If someone with a disability or a chronic illness or a mental illness tells you something is too difficult for them to do, believe them. Maybe it's something they could do on another occasion. Maybe it's something you find, or even "everyone" finds, easy. Maybe it's something you found trivial to research or learn how to do. Believe them anyway. Maybe it's only three steps, maybe it's a piece of software, or a phone call. Believe them anyway.

Believe people when they tell you their experiences.

"... and everything's horrible and there's nothing we can do."
"Hold on," she said. She stepped off the path to pick up a discarded water bottle.
"What are you doing?" he asked.
"There's a recycling bin a bit further up."
"Oh. Anyway, we're so powerless-"
"Let's do what we can."

From the Solarpunk Aesthetic tumblr:

Biotechnologist Marin Sawa and her University of London research group have created a proof-of-concept for printing solar cells onto paper using carbon nanotubes and cyanobacteria.

This technology is "[...] capable of generating a sustained electrical current both in the dark (as a ‘solar bio-battery’) and in response to light (as a ‘bio-solar-panel’) with potential applications in low-power devices."

Did you know that cats LOVE the taste of Adderall and that it is potentially deadly to them? As little as 20 mg can be fatal to your kitty. Most cats don’t enjoy the taste of other medications because they are bitter, but the sweet taste of amphetamine salts is their jam. Make sure to store your meds away from them in secure containers and don’t leave dropped pills on the floor for more than a second.

"Internet-connected locks, speakers, thermostats, lights and cameras that have been marketed as the newest conveniences are now also being used as a means for harassment, monitoring, revenge and control."

"One of the women, a doctor in Silicon Valley, said her husband, an engineer, 'controls the thermostat. He controls the lights. He controls the music. Abusive relationships are about power and control, and he uses technology.'"

On the bus home, and my ears are starting to forgive me.

On the way in to downtown, I saw the rainbow flag on the Space Needle and had a weird moment of "this is my flag." I don't think I've ever had that with even a national flag.

Once I was at the parade, though, I found myself wishing my culture were not a party culture. I want to express #Pride without feeling obliged to be loud, or endure loudness.

We need like more queer teashops and knitting circles. #BeGayTeaTimes

Protect your schedule, including the empty time.

Happy #SummerSolstice :).🌻☀️ #art #illustration #mastoart #krita

I changed the strings on the second concert guitar! The nylon on the highest two was so slick it slipped out of the bridge several times. And now it feels like it will take forever until they finally hold the tuning. #annoying #guitaristproblems #concertguitar

Ich habe die Saiten auf der zweiten Konzertgitarre gewechselt! Die höchsten 2 Saiten waren so glatt, dass der Knoten am Steg mir mehrmals rausgerutscht ist. Und jetzt braucht es bestimmt ewig, bis sie die Stimmung halten. #gitarrenzeug

"She wears a fur trimmed parka, with matching boots. And has traditional Inuit tattoos on her face and wrists. Amka Aliyak is a new Marvel comic superhero, and she's an Inuk teen who goes by the name Snowguard.

"She'a a really amazing teenage girl, that cares a lot about her community [and] the environment. [She is] an activist, and a bit of a troublemaker," said Nyla Inuuksuk, who was the consultant on the character."

"You know math, why do you use Excel?"
"If I didn't, it would take all day. Oh. Okay. Sorry."
