Amelia leads this week, reflecting on what it’s like to be disabled in public. They’ve got some really helpful rules for everyone who wants to help. tl;dr When it comes to helping, ask first. And listen to what they need.There’s a bit of Disney, too.

Your Something Larger can be anything. Even Captain Phasma. And especially Chewbacca.Time for a little escapism this week. Not a Disney fan? It’s OK. It all maps out to ventral spaces, Polyvagal Theory and accessibility, too.Content warning for a tragic but not graphic story of an accident at the resort from about 53 - 56 min.Links:Latchkey kidFSP Season 2, Episode 4: Polyvagal 101Insights from Disney’s 30-Foot Trash Can RuleDisney’s Polynesian Village resort music loop (Youtube)(If you can’t relax to this, I don’t know what to tell you.)Meeting Mary Poppins on Paige's Make A Wish Trip (Youtube)(You will cry.

Let’s talk about what makes a good goal. Amelia kind of biffed on No Buy Low Buy, but in the service of owning enough clothing to leave the house without looking like a hobo. Maybe it’s OK to not be a minimalist in all things? Definitely stick around to the VERY end.PS: Amelia is still going live on Youtube on Fridays @4pm eastern:https://www.youtube.com/@feministsurvivalprojectDana K White - A Slob Comes CleanDawn the Minimal MomIndyx appAre you Ready Dot Gov?Nicholas Boulton on CameoMaria Bamford on Cameo
