Does anyone have any recs for meal replacements that isn't milk based? Not for weight loss, I'm trying not to lose more weight. Unfortunately on top of my Gastroparesis, this last bout of Covid seems to have destroyed my taste buds. Everything tastes rancid.I only had like 5 safe foods to begin with

For the record: There is nothing wrong w/being autistic. It's not a disease to be cured, a diagbosis that should cause embarrassment. Autistic ppl are not broken.I'm pretty certain most ppl are some variety of neuro spicy, the world would be boring otherwise. Know you're seen & loved just as you are

Welp....

In the last 20yrs I've learned a lot of hard lessons. The biggest being if you're chronically ill &/or disabled, ppl who claimed to love you will find every possible scenario to blame you. Then they'll tell you, at length, how your health is negatively affecting THEIR lives. I'm so tired #disability

DISNEY: "OK, we are putting Jimmy Kimmel back on the air. You can resubscribe now." ME: "I unsubscribed because you immorally bowed to fascism. I'm not going to resubscribe because you immorally bowed to finances."

Think of all the housing that will be available after Tuesday. Oh, I mean Wednesday. I mean, what's the current timeline? Asking for a friend.

Maybe they're right. Maybe they're right. Are you fucking kidding me right now? I.. nope. I can not handle the stupid. Someone just let me know when any of the following need to report to the camp: women, queer, disabled, atheist (although I feel I'll already be dead from 1 of the 3 previous 1st)

Well, even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Ok, who let Dear Leader watch the documentary on Netflix about the Tylenol poisoning in the early 80s? He's a little obsessed. Does Tylenol owe him money?

I know I am only a humble speech pathologist, but for the professional record I reject everything that RFK says or will say about autism, and it’s important to recognize what he’s really saying is that to be neurodiverse is worse than to be dead

What's with the blue tie?

And here we go. This is how they continue to take women's rights to their own bodies away.

Happy for Jimmy and all the employees of the show for getting their jobs back. However, I will not be resubscribing. Disney & ABC need to learn that we're not just going to roll over & go back to "normal."

Looks like I'm back on a liquid diet. Last night I pretty much had to spit out every bite of food because my body simply refused to swallow it. Today it won't even let me try. My SO is running to get me a smoothie, but don't know what I'll do going forward. I will not go on a PICC again. #disability

State funded media.

Does anyone else wonder why Tylenol hasn't sued the fuck out of the govt? They're not claiming acetaminophen causes autism, they've been flat out using "Tylenol" which is a very specific name brand. You would think they'd want to fight for their image. What do I know, though.

Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today. Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943. Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s. Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

It's amazing how many "advocates" in my feed, who are demanding our action, still use substack, FB, Xitter, IG, & somehow still can't be bothered to use alt text. Just know, your msg might come across better if you didn't look like a total hypocrite.

I have a 2nd credit union acct that I use to save for big ticket items. Logged on tonight to make a deposit to discover some asshole in San Francisco has somehow stolen my card # & has purchased over $150 of Uber eats. Sorry dude, but your free ride is over. 1 of the transactions has an addy, too.

If anyone has any suggestions for a 14yo w/long covid & horrific headaches, pls let the OP know. I'm not in the UK so can not recommend any places, etc.

Its insanely difficult, as a disabled person, to fight not only imposter syndrome, but also the loneliness & worthlessness that gnaws at you when ppl are actively telling you to die. Its hard not to feel like a waste of space when ppl question your existence & agree you shouldn't be here #disability

It's 5am. Why in the world am I still awake?

Commuting while Black. Yet another story of racism in America.

I wrote about Rodney and Alma Bowman, a disabled woman who was held for 30 months during the first Trump regime. She was released, worked as a whistleblower to shut down the Irwin Detention Centre, and then ICE grabbed her again. Alma is also disabled and being held indefinitely:

STEPHEN MILLER: you have no idea what you have awakened. we will save the West. we will turn darkness into light. we will rise like a phoenix from the pit of fire and EVERYONE ELSE AT THE DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS GAME TABLE: ROLL THE FUCKING DIE ALREADY

Question for my fellow spoonies. My health has seriously crashed over the last year & my baseline is so much worse. I'm pretty much homebound now, not bedbound yet. I can't eat much so I've lost weight. I've also lost so much muscle mass lately. It's actually scaring me some. I'm also worried 🧵

If this is real, I might as well delete my account now. Toxic positivity is now part of the TOS? Are you fucking kidding me?

I want to speak to another part of this. Not because it's more important, but because I'm not autistic, I won't even attempt to speak towards it. What i will speak to is the Tylenol & pregnant women connection. 🧵

Only 80 more followers until 5,000. Care to help a bookstore out?

Just saw ground beef at $10/lb. So, anyone have any ideas of what we're going to do when no one can afford food anymore? Cause we're getting close. I really don't see us surviving on a handful of cherry tomatoes & a single butternut squash growing on my back deck.

Today was a mistake. For those playing the home game: On Sat 8/31, I left my house for 4hrs.I had to take off my mask for the last 2hr. 9/3 I tested positive for Covid. I've been bedbound ever since. Went out today, 1 shop,1 hr & I can't move, my body is freaking out & I know I'm stuck here forever

DO NOT participate in #blueskyblackout2025 I'm nsfw artist and other nsfw artists are asking you to SHOUT! Bsky wants to censor us so the worst thing we can do is censor ourselves! Publicly shame them, use the feedback button, and post about it using the tag #bskycensorship Silence is compliance!

I am so glad that @jimmykimmel.com is getting the attention and outrage he deserves, but where was this support for @matthewjdowd.bsky.social last week? His MSNBC colleagues said nothing everyone is standing up for Jimmy Kimmel and Dowd’s colleagues said nothing. So can we lift him up too?

No one can tell you how to get to Sesame Street anymore, and that's sad.

David Rose, the police officer and Afghanistan veteran with a wife and 2 small children, was murdered by a white, right wing extremist man a month ago over antivaccine conspiracies pushed by RFK Jr. and this administration. He did not get recognition from political leaders or even much news coverage

I'll make you a deal. I'll stop talking about all the violence you're causing, just as soon as you stop causing it.

The horrific part of this regime is while we're all boycotting companies, we're also putting ppl out of work. GA is going to lose 20k jobs from Marvel leaving plus all the jobs at the Hyundai place currently in limbo.I've been job hunting for 3yrs, there's no way I'm finding one now.

Y'all. I'm trying to bite my tongue, I'm trying to be nice, to be supportive. However, every time I see someone promoting an article re:nazism & it's on substack, it's really hard to take you seriously. You can't be anti-nazi while actively supporting nazis. You've lost all credibility from the jump

I've been trying to buy a banned book a month. I hadn't been able to get one for September yet, so decided to support some teachers & classrooms instead. If you can't make a monetary donation, I'm sure they'd appreciate a share.

Here it is. He literally is calling for the removal of ppl w/mental disorders to be forcibly removed from the country & shipped to Venezuela. If you're thinking, "but I'm not institutionalized" do you think that matters to the regime? They can use any diagnosis; depression, bipolar, adhd to autism.

Went to Costco. First time out of the house & bed in 3wks. I was not ready. I have serious regrets. #disability

Who can say state controlled media?

I no longer have IG to follow this cosplayer, but as a fellow Cindy cosplayer, I had to share. Stunning. Just simply stunning.

For those who requested buttons, I'm packing them up today & will put them in the mail on Monday. I still have a bunch if anyone still would like a couple.

SO slept in this am, which is rare, & didn't clean the cat boxes 1st thing like usual. One of our cats decided to pee in our bedroom in protest. Not on SOs side, but mine. On all the craft projects I had been working on the floor last night. Hundreds of $ of supplies ruined. I give up. Im done.

For the record: is 8:15am & NFH has had his music/bass going for the last 45 minutes. This is a fucking war crime at this point.

Hey world, when we say #MeToo & believe women, it's because of this. You refuse to believe us when we tell you how many of you have assaulted us & we get #NotAllmen. Yes all men. Over 150k ppl have applied to ICE since the regime took over. Just so they can cosplay GI Joe & beat the shit out of ppl.

Wonder how long the rest of the world is going to allow the regime to murder their citizens in open water.

Well I went ahead & got my medical mj card even though only 5% or less low dose oil is allowed in the state. Only had to cough up $200 to do it. (That hurt, a lot.) It's been 5yrs since I've had any sort of pain mgt so fingers crossed it helps. Not optimistic. #disability
