Disability Caucus 8/2/2016: Wasting Month After Month (Because I Can't Be Placed)

So I have another meeting today with the...ahem....'case worker' at 3 in the afternoon today so I can keep 'working' for food. It sure would be nice if I didn't have to do this every. Single. Month...on top of reapplying for SNAP benefits every 6. I've put somewhere in the avenue of 250 applications over the past several months and still have nothing to show for it. And let's be honest, that's how most employers like it these days.

Disability Caucus Open Thread 6/6/2016: Forced Entrepreneurship from Lack of Opportunity

I'm sure many disabled folks besides myself can attest to this, but many of us often do side jobs from home because of the lack of opportunity afforded us due to various conditions we deal with.

You don't see too many people chomping at the bit to have boxes and boxes of pictures scanned, VHS videos or old audio cassettes digitized. Maybe I'm doing it wrong.
