Why can’t we catch a break?

Boudica is now showing signs of the Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) previously known as acute renal failure, that nearly killed her at Xmas.

I’m still paying off Mr Kitty’s and her vet bills of ~$3k. I can’t apply for any more.

Donations and or retoots appreciated.

Various people have been talking about a gathering of cooperative and collectively owned and operated instances (mostly here: matrix.to/#/#democratic-fedive…)

I set up a public Loomio subgroup on the social.coop Loomio for organizing an initial event.

If you, or someone you know, is interested in helping to organize this event for early 2023, please join this subgroup.

Admins or active members from #Black, #BIPOC, #Disabled, #Feminist, #LGBTQ+ instances please take a look.

#crip and #disabled lives inherehently challenge the idea of the frictionless. We learn how to deal with the friction of our bodyminds, because we can't avoid it. Searches for cures, healing, wellness, all of these are in service to capitalist productivity. Productivity which is a frictionless as possibile - maximum production at all costs - work longer hors, multiple jobs, the economy must constantly grow. There must be constant activity [2/?]


But what I'm wondering is, what if the friction experienced by #disabled and #crip lives gives us a fundamental insight into how to exist and prosper under conditions of maximum human friction - where we know that it's the *quality* not *quantity* of how we exist and what we do that's the important bit - under conditions of slowness we manage to maximise despite the impssibility of speed which we are taught to desire.
