Found this in a search...
Jun. 12th, 2023 04:34 pmThought of it because Attendant N got new body art yesterday(She has a relative that does that.)
Used to use as an LJ icon...feels good to have it back!
I was the first person in a wheelchair my artist ever did(Maybe at the time...my tat could almost drink now...maybe a few have been in now.)
Still, #BarrierBuster!
How about that, I think, that is so cool. I’m like the Judy Heumann of Freakonia. This is like what I hoped for when I was ten and reading about all those trailblazing foremothers. Except for the part where they did stuff, my practical side says.
Maybe I did stuff here today too. I made a permanent, purposeful statement intended to be beautiful on this body that’s an acquired taste.I expanded a few people’s visions of what people in wheelchairs might do on Saturdays, but probably the most important symbol is the design. It’s a big black bird that looks to me like a Phoenix, both the symbol of my hometown and a sign that I’m rising from the ashes better than ever. If you look at it that way, it didn’t hurt a bit.

Daniel Ellsberg was on our call today...

it take long.
Also, need to work on the ending for the piece for the flash-fiction contest(Sometimes I hate Flash, both for being tiny, and the "gotcha," endings.)
Also, why do I enter these contests?! I pretty much know that somebody who went to school in Iowa or Chapel Hill has more of a chance than I, and, yes, would also like to feel better about not being able to get that MFA...for a host of reasons, one being that the relative who might have had the money to help(Not sure that he does any longer, anyway, though) never really has believed in my talents that much.
Also, then again, if I cede ground because of perceived inferiority, how would I ever get better.(I've already drummed myself out of inspiring cripplehood...not sure what's left if the artist gives up too.)
Also, in the midst of a digestive reprieve, I can do anything*
(For all values of anything that are tiny and don't involve moving around a whole lot.

It seems like...
Nov. 12th, 2022 04:05 pmnothing I do is really moving forward, even this photo is slightly old, but it's fresher than 15 years ago!
Sometimes I feel like I'm just doing the same stuff over Including answering back an old friend on FB who contacts me every few years just to brag.
(And maybe she is doing better... I mean, she is married, even if, if he's the same guy, he looks like something best exhumed than connubial. Although I have love in my life, it's not the kind I can flaunt, which, mostly I don't care about, but society does, and I'm a chick(A chick who lives with her mama, no less) so my being engaged or something would excite extended fam far more than anything I write, etc.
And she has the graduate degree, which I think I could have if I really cared to have it--eventually.
But if I don't care enough to chase it, then why does her having one make me feel that she's rubbing my face in it?(she totally is, but why do I care?)
Well, partially because she didn't used to close anything, and when we used to hang out, my rep was "smart, but kind of a bitch"
Also, she's so much better at being the Inspiring Crip(maybe it's the big brown eyes) and getting people on her side praising her determination and and all that.
