I'm currently streaming on twitch. Right now the video is sun ripples on the river with bird sounds and wind. Every so often I come on & talk about whatever is on my mind {attempts to progress despite chronic pain; art; humanist values vs. mainstream US values; chores in my apartment; etc.}. My preferred way to monitor my livestream is to bypass twitch entirely by going to where I have it embedded:

A #rant about how I am SHOCKED at how prejudice #maga supporters are against young people with #disability
They think if you aren't missing your legs or something you should JUST GET A JOB and stop being a "grifter".
I want to know who the hell would grift 1200 a month. I can think of easier to do (I applied like seven times and needed a lawyer in the end) and more profitable ways to grift.
Someone with no legs could work better than me lately.
That's the dadgum truth, right there.
