♿️ The most overly confident disabled woman in America. Mark Hamill once told me I had pretty eyes and I'll never shut up about it. As seen in Buzzfeed, The BBC, New York Magazine, & most forebodingly, TMZ https://linktr.ee/Cooperstreaming

In less than 4 hours I got the news my car was totaled (in an accident that was hidden for me but only discovered now) my wonderful pain mgmt NP has quit & I'm left with a monster who literally laughed in my face last time I saw him, & I'm losing my caregiver. Being disabled is absolute ass.

They made Trainspotting into a musical. Barf. We talk a lot about how Hollywood has gotten worse due to refusing artistic risk, social media competition & declining literacy, but theater has also turned into a hot mess of jukebox musicals & bad remakes of movies. I HATE movie based musicals.

I love Sophie Hunter & I'm listening to one of her songs where she says "In the club like 2006 (I was not in the club in 2006)" and I simultaneously feel old af but also glad I was there. I was 21 in 2006. I was absolutely in the club. In Los Angeles, in London, in New York. Yes the fuck I was.

THE ODYSSEY's instantly, predictably enormous success is Exhibit #32176 that the right wing's grievance-farming operation is not some great American cultural shift. Most people don't give a shit about their petty crusades.

The most irritating fucking thing on planet Earth is being chastised for using an accessible space/device by another disabled person because you don't look disabled enough for them. Bitch, you are also disabled! You should know better. I wouldn't be here if I didn't need to be. Yelled at her ass.

I just had this memory of how I would pull an alpha move on men in high school and college by parallel parking their cars when they couldn't. Women would let me do it immediately but men would insist they could and only allow me after they embarrassed themselves, which only made it funnier 😄

I'm watching Lady Bird for the first time & 20 minutes and I'm convinced I had the same childhood as Greta Gerwig. Because what do you mean you run home the happiest you've ever been in your life only to have your mother come for your neck the second you set foot at home, destroying your joy,

My doctor recommended I see a specialist so I called a new place nearby. I hung up on their virtual assistant, partially on principal because fuck that and partially because I don't need to go through a 10 minute phone call collecting my information only to find out you don't take my insurance.

I found this old photo of me and realized it was taken the last time I fell in love. I can't tell if it's aging or if it's my illness, because the two are inextricably linked - my youth was snatched away by this disease - but sometimes I wonder if I will ever feel this silly and free again.

One of the few things I miss about being religious is that belief in heaven and hell is a comfort sometimes. You want to believe that Mitch McConnell will pay for all the horrible things he did, but he won't. You want to believe that people who suffer have a better fate ahead of them eventually.

Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in 25 days in the hospital. Yet he still has a job, still getting paid, and getting unlimited world class healthcare. The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, and against guaranteed paid leave, is now getting all three.

I know I need to have this surgery. There are no other treatments. It's only this. But I'm terrified of ending up just as sick or sicker, only $50k in debt & with the knowledge that the last of the hope is all dried up. I'm afraid that I won't want to live anymore if there isn't any hope left.

It's been 25 years since the first time I heard it but Going Away to College still makes me emotional. Maybe moreso, because it represents something that doesn't really exist anymore There was no social media. No free long distance. They were just gone. That particular fear & grief was lost to time

Sometimes a man will hit me up because he's bored and sometimes I am also bored so he will get my attention for a little while. Debating whether I should send a picture of myself being hot just because I feel hot. He doesn't deserve one but it's really more for me 😄

I just listened to Avril Lavigne's current single and it truly is wild how she has not evolved aesthetically or musically in 25 years. Its strange because it sounds like it could have been released 20 years ago. Would have been a hit. Yet it feels sad. Like a ghost of our youth.

Does anyone here work in car insurance? Got somebody in a situation. Someone borrowed a vehicle, apparently got into an accident, and covered it up. Plz no advice unless you are a professional, these are not all the details, I can DM them to you if you work in the industry. Thanks so much!

End of a strange little saga today. A few months ago I got an unsigned postcard from someone. If you know me well you know that I have been stalked by an extremely mentally ill man in the past. I thought he'd found me. I was too scared to post to check if someone else sent it. It'd be confirmation.

I started watching No Reservations for the first time since Anthony Bourdain died. I haven't been able to watch any of his stuff for so long. It hurt too much. I know it's parasocial, but his shows made me feel like someone understood my passion back when I didn't know anyone else with a passport.

Somebody linked an account to me the other day and I saw that person had 30,000 followers and thought " wow that's a whole lot of fucking followers" I literally forgot I have more than that life is an illusion being watched is weird what the fuck anyway.
