Joy from Disability Pride Fest Madison

I go to this annual celebration because it’s a time and place where I am entirely comfortable. That I can do some things and can’t do others is a given. Almost everyone there has been through the process of accepting their disabled self—the non-disabled people are in my experience, enthusiastic allies.

Folks sell things they’ve made, organizations advertise for participants or employees, political folks recruit advocates, there’s music, there’s free food. It’s a hoot!

https://www.disabilitypridemadison.org/festival-2025

I was thrilled to run into half of the staff of adhdcleaning.com, who proclaim they will Clean All The Things and invite passers-by to share their special enthusiasms.

Their promo material is brimming with disability pride:

Accommodating, Compassionate Help Tailored to Your Needs

  • Flexible Scheduling, Easy to Cancel
  • Allergy/Asthma-friendly vacuum with fully sealed HEPA filtration system
  • Keep two disabled adults happily employed!
  • Commercial steamer for chemical-free clean
  • We care about you and your pets
  • No guilt or judgment, ever

They continue with cleaning tips for cool, imperfect humans

five important points )


This pair of people were dressed up to spread joy

what a couple! )

(no subject)

Just got out of a week intubated in the icu (not outta the woods but on the mend) and had lost my ability to walk I felt proud of being able to walk around as a fat person so I was embarrassed and described myself as ”weak as a newborn kitten” but when I thought about it I realized kittens come out pretty darn weak but they’re designed to develop into killing machines whch they do in short order yeah I got this. No plans to kill any one just, metaphors have power

Birdfeeding

Today is overcast, humid, and hot.  I'm hearing thunder, so it's likely to rain soon.

I rushed through feeding the birds.  I've seen several sparrows and house finches.

I put out water for the birds.

EDIT 7/26/25 -- It rained at least a little.

I refilled the thistle feeder.  I've seen a mixed flock of sparrows and house finches, plus a male cardinal.

EDIT 7/26/25 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.

EDIT 7/26/25 -- I did more work around the patio.

EDIT 7/26/25 -- I potted up a white nectarine and a white peach seeds.

EDIT 7/26/25 -- I planted 2 wild senna, one under the golden rain tree and one under the maple.

EDIT 7/26/25 -- I potted up 5 cherry plum seeds and 2 black plum seeds.

I watered the newly planted things.

As it is getting dark, I am done for the night.

Guardian Readalong: Vol. 3, Chapters 23 & 24



Hi, and welcome to this week's installment of the Guardian novel readalong! ♡

Here are last week's chapters, and you can find all previous discussions in the schedule posts (part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5), or via the !readalong tag.

This week's chapters:

  • Chapter 23: The branch of the Great Divine Tree protects Zhu Hong who stayed behind at the Yanluo Courts. While she's talking about the branch with Fourth Uncle, it grows a third bud. The "youth" who turned out to be a gui throws Chu Shuzhi off the bridge. Guo Changcheng jumps after him, leaving the soul bottles behind.


  • Chapter 24: During the ritual, lao-Li remembers and confesses that three hundred years ago he stole Daqing's bell to cure his bone cancer. Shen Wei uses the Hallows to reseal the Four Pillars. During the last step (the Soul-Guarding Lamp) Shen Wei erases all of Zhao Yunlan's memories of their relationship, and sacrifices himself.


The corresponding part in the Chinese version on JJWXC/the fan translation starts a little less than halfway through chapter 105 and goes up to the end of that chapter.


Excerpts:

1) The branch of the Great Divine Tree grows a third bud )

2) Chu Shuzhi and Guo Changcheng fall off the bridge )

3) Lao-Li's story )

4) Shen Wei mocks Ghost Face )


Questions:

How impressive is Guo Changcheng's courage now? Should Daqing forgive lao-Li? Do you prefer the novel version or the drama version of their backstory? How about the story of Zhu Hong's branch so far? Did Shen Wei's change of heart and self-sacrifice surprise you? How do you feel about what he did?

You can answer as many or as few questions as you like, or just comment without answering any of them at all! And if you see this post and you're not actually reading the novel, I would love to know what you think about any of this with limited context. :D

And here is the schedule, where you can sign up to host a post!
