I really like meeting/presentation statements about attending to access needs regarding moving or sitting/standing/lying in non-normative ways, stimming, etc. I'm working on adapting a version for meetings that I run.

Has anyone seen/heard a version they like that also incorporates caretaking? Something that calls out that it's okay to step away or have other people around because you're taking care of them!

No one in the household takes a strong interest in the cats/kittens. Not in the way so many people do. Its hard to explain because they're now taken care of well enough but there's that love quotient missing. They're not warm or affectionate. But a lot of people aren't warm affectionate people and they love humanity more than people who are. #cats #caretaking #domestic #home #homestead #love

Dear Rich People,
I'm poor because I don't want to be rich. Spending time with family and taking care of them means a lot to me. Women who want to take care of others, matter. We need to change our values. When childcare evaporated during covid, it was time to reassess who we value and why. #childcare #caretaking

Dad's old friend offered to visit Saturday.

"No."

OK why don't you just think about it Dad?

He hasn't really talked to anyone but family since early in the pandemic.

Leaving him here is going to be really hard. But he refuses to fly to visit me.

At the lab with #dad. He got up early and didn't eat for these blood draws. His fasting blood glucose is still 201. They only had an order for a lipid panel.

Called urgent care, mashed the "I'm a doctor" button, and talked to the nurse. She called back and gave verbal orders for the other tests.

I am not a doctor I don't even play one on TV I'm just a stubborn daughter being taught by life to get over my rule following ways once and for all 🤷‍♀️

2023: The Year Alex Stopped Accepting Shit Being Shoveled Her Way, episode 1.3.
In which our heroine complains when her mother interrupts two work meetings and is told to please not do so; waters bone-dry plants without asking permission or hiding it to protect her mother’s delicate pride; and further opines that to tiptoe around her mother is patronizing and slows her recovery. Oh, and is chastised for “language” when she types “Wtf?”

Wtf?!

“Take Care of Yourself and Have a Life Outside of Caregiving

Please don’t make #caretaking your whole life. Make sure that you are doing the things that are restorative to you, and that make your life rewarding outside of me. And don’t feel guilty doing them! You deserve to have an identity outside of this illness, and you will be a better caregiver to me if you take care of yourself”

In a week, my kid is having jaw surgery which means for at least 2 weeks I’ll be strapped to my Vitamix. Liquid Xmas… here we come!

Got good liquid recipes? I’m all ears.

Somehow, nothing in my years of academic training has prepared me for how to get my mother to remember she needs to collect a urine sample long enough for her to actually collect the sample. #Alzheimers #Caretaking

I did it, everyone! I did it. I survived my 4th #Aldi trip in 7 days. Three of those were within the last 36 hours.

Dear Listeners;

#XPUB1 #Radio Implicancies Final (?) Episode! :oh_no_bubble:

"We invite you to listen to the new episode of our broadcast, Radio Implicancies, today at 4PM CEST/UTC+2.

Radio Implicancies is a weekly #broadcast of recorded and live matter brought to you by Piet Zwart Institute's Experimental Publishing programme. Each broadcast engaged with the way #technologies are worlding the world.

In these six weeks we explored concepts of #decolonization, #caretaking, #queering damage, #authorship and #ownership. Radio Implicancies started in the middle. We made it up as we went and learned new things along the way. And now we present our final broadcast, in which we continue our dive into how our works depend on others’ #works, #cultures, even #bodies. This weeks broadcast also features #live segments! Join us for the sixth and final episode of Radio Implicancies

You can listen and join the live discussion here:
