Are Disabled People Allowed To Dream?
There is nothing I have ever wanted more than to have control over my own life. The only thing I have ever wanted is stability and certainty. To be able to have my needs as a disabled person met and all of my medications. It is downright exhausting to always be at the mercy of other people and other agencies. People in these agencies, whether it is allowed, have a tendency to let whatever authority they have go to their heads. I have encountered so many workers at federally funded agencies that have had no issue playing God with someone’s life. I live my life with medically Diagnosed Complex PTSD, Bipolar Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Seasonal Affective Disorder and Asthma from the stress. Being Trans has only magnified the direness of my situation because it has removed my humanity in other’s eyes. The others that work at federally funded agencies meant to help disabled people like me but rather have denied my needs and accommodations for these disabilities simply because they do not like that I am Trans. Being Trans and Indigenous has made me completely disposable. Throughout my life, I have searched for love and a partner that could save me from my situation. I have naively lent my body and heart to men who at a time fulfilled some fairytale fantasy that I could potentially be so happy with someone, that all of my disabilities and struggles go away. I don’t want a fancy car or a mansion, I just want to have control over my own life and to have all my needs met.

Furnday Offers On-demand Furniture Related Works
The typical workday at an office is eight hours, however on occasion, the hours can be significantly extended. Because employee profitability directly depends on their relationship to their working environment, furniture is necessary to increase productivity in the workplace and to prevent employee wear and tear. Making wooden furniture with a carpenter may also be a unique experience that produces one-of-a-kind furniture for the home. It can be difficult to find a skilled carpenter, though, who does the job correctly. However, it is crucial to be aware of and confirm the sort of office furniture present and how it affects outcomes for employee satisfaction and productivity.

Dreams and Destinations.
Changes happen in life. I just didn’t know one of my dreams would come to an end by my forgetting the second half of my sonatina at a piano recital in front of my peers! I was around fourteen years old, and we were grouped by proficiency level to individually play piano in front of a judge. This contest was one of the two, annual, semi-competitive elements of our piano-playing lives, called a Sonatina contest. The musical piece was something everyone practiced for months, memorizing and attending a designated "judgement day" that lasted a couple hours out of a Saturday. Most of the time, this took place at a local university and the halls would be buzzing with nerves and excitement as a bunch of little piano players found their area and waited expectantly to play. This particular Saturday I was one of a handful of performers who chose to play the movement. It was a quick, fun piece and I enjoyed playing it.

A Box, A Horse, A Decision
The frustration level at the office was off the charts with missed deadlines and individuals in roles who needed so much hand holding, no work moved forward. Why did it take so long? Well, the new CEO was hiring birthday, bar mitzvah, and BBQ friends on her leadership team and they had no business in an executive position, so projects were taking five times longer to complete as they learned the business. In unison, all of the projects were over budget and that added pressure to the sales teams to produce lost revenue.

Mental Health Matters
For some, the idea of calling out of work can be an incredibly stressful thing. While employees exist who don’t think twice about taking a day off, there are countless others who work themselves into a frenzy at the prospect of all that comes with calling out of work. The prevalence of burnout in the workplace has risen to a point where it has become a national, perhaps even global, conversation. Employees are working like never before as the long lists of demands and expectations seem to be continually growing. People call out of work for a variety of reasons: vacations, sickness, appointments, emergencies, but the one that seems to have the most stigma is the idea of taking a mental health day. Why? Why are we taught to ignore the warning signs of our health in regards to our mental state?

Assaulting Cults of "Innovation": How I Outsmarted Stephen Hawking, Disrupted Braden Kelley and Put Elon Musk in Check!
I’m writing this because innovation, creativity, whatever have you, is such a continuous mystery and for no good reason other than there are so many ways of doing it, that you have all of these people being used to misrepresent it, act like they know the first thing about it when they don't, and are seen as having mastered it when all they've mastered is bation. My name is Marshall Barnes and my unofficial nickname is "the McMoe" because I'm the Most Creative Man On Earth. Got it? Good, 'cause I'm giving it to you, no holds bared, as I'm about to embark on a tour of seminars to teach people how to change the landscape that we've all been facing for far too long. So long in fact that I can't stand it anymore. Right now, however, I'll begin at the top, from a slightly different field, although curiously, a single thread runs through it all - the possibility of time travel to the past. So what better way to begin than a man known for the perception of possessing awe inspiring insights and genius - the late Stephen W. Hawking.

Roar
Shortly before Momma died, I began to take stock of where my life was and how things could turn out for me should the worst-case scenario occur. I stood at the tail-end of a two-year battle with depression, leisurely reconfiguring my life and easing back into a world that had gone on without me.
