being disabled is always expensive (I have to pay more for things I can use instead of being able to do it myself), but here's an example of a cost that might not be obvious:
I have POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome), which means my heartrate spikes when not laying flat
one tool used to mitigate some of the effects is compression leggings (from my ankles to the bottom of my ribcage), which were $30~40 for a decent pair...
which now doesn't compress my butt and torso very well because I've lost so much of my musculature over the last year of being bedridden
I've been contemplating having to get a new pair that fits a bit better, but I'm also unsure how long that would last

p.s. if you're not disabled, I need you to take in this information, use it to fuel your empathy for disabled people (you will join us one day, as a note), and act on that empathy

Basically, what I'm saying is you're all mages and the first rule to being a mage is to be ultimately responsible for the spells you cast lest you bring harm to others 
I'm just glad Moshidon has a backrooms colour setting so black that makes pixels indistinguishable from having the screen off~
the entire library is now up on Peertube, so go take a listen: 
Another that I learned only in the last 6 or 7 years was "boy"... at first, just a childish word someone might use on someone else to discredit or infantilise them, but a white man saying it to a black man? It's one of those "just use the slur you basically used instead of this bullshit" situations with all of the baggage of centuries of racism and slavery along for the ride 
also, have you looked at my profile? I'm not some USian who hasn't been outside their hometown, I'm writing this as someone who wasn't even born in the US
