Being disabled while the US healthcare collapses is fun because I never know when my meds will go back in stock and it’s always a guess at what I will be medicated for and what I will not that month 🤗 (ADHD MEDS AND EMGALITY IM LOOKING AT YOU) #disability #UnmedicatedAdhd #ChronicMigraine #Lupus

Lottie took a fall down the not-yet-built stairs this weekend (she’s fine just traumatized) and since then has not left my side🥺💕

My parents sheltered me from lots of media but the one thing I’m thankful for is I never read or loved Harry Potter or the fandom 😅 Really dodged a bullet with that one. #lesbian #acespec #exevangelical #jkrowlinghate

What do you mean there was a Tr*mp protest on Halloween of 1989??

You weren’t “high-functioning.” You were masking. You weren’t “coping.” You were dissociating. You weren’t “fine.” You were in burnout. They praised your performance. But never saw the cost. You deserved care. Not applause.

When you're chronically ill, your baseline is everything. Sometimes it's easy to forget just how much even minimal amounts of functioning can mean to you... until you lose it. It takes almost nothing to lose function, and a ton of effort to regain it. Never apologize for protecting your baseline.

New pride flag upppppp and the homophobic neighbor’s dog hasn’t stopped barking at it since I put it up 😎🏳️‍🌈

A 2024 study shows that people with POTS have much less peripheral eye tracking than nondisabled peers. This makes so much sense why when my POTS is flaring, large chunks of the world ✨disappear✨. Add in autism’s processing issues to begin with, and it is hard to navigate many places. #pots

Happy Ace Day my friends 🖤🩶🤍💜

Out with the old (stairs) and in with the new! ☺️🪜🔨 I also added a storage bench on the last step 🤩 #FirstTimeHomeOwner #HomeRenovation

Made a lasagna to feel like I have my shit together in the middle of a flare and I think it worked 🤣 #AutisticShutdown #ChronicIllnessFlare

Maybe it’s a #lupus #butterflyrash? Maybe it’s Maybelline? 🤪 (Fun fact I’ve had doctors say I didn’t have lupus because my rash also comes on in fluorescent lights…there’s been studies since the 80S!! saying this is normal for lupus patients 🙃)

It’s Autism Awareness (Acceptance) Month, and boy, am I aware.

"There's a room here in the Senate named after Strom Thurmond... I'm here despite his speech, I'm here because as powerful as he was, the people were more powerful." -Cory Booker as he eclipses Thurmond's record for the longest filibuster in US history.

Sen. Cory Booker has broken the record for the longest floor speech in modern Senate history, surpassing the late Sen. Strom Thurmond’s speech lasting 24 hours and 18 minutes in 1957, in which he spoke against the Civil Rights Act. Read more: cnn.it/4hS8Uul

WATCH: Sen. Cory Booker has broken the record for the longest U.S. Senate speech. Booker's marathon speech breaks the previous record — Sen. Strom Thurmond's filibuster against the Civil Rights Act of 1957 that stretched for 24 hours and 18 minutes.

BREAKING: Sen. Cory Booker sets the record for the longest speech in Senate history in remarks that have spanned more than 24 hours, tearing into what he called the Trump administration's “grave and urgent” threat to the country. nbcnews.to/4jein0f

Watching @booker.senate.gov is bringing me so much hope at the moment for this country. #corybooker #senatespeech #filibuster

Someone must’ve told my #autism it was #autismawareness month tomorrow because I have been *very* aware that I am #autistic today 🥴 /lh

Tomorrow is April and I don’t think my burnt out autistic heart is ready

I love how #autisticburnout tips are like “do less” “rest more” and “prioritize only the important things” because I’m pretty sure the way to get out of burnout is planting daffodils and taking on new home construction projects you’ve never done before and piling on more and more to your to do list

Disability justice isn’t about access as a checklist. It’s about refusing to treat care as optional. It’s about building worlds where bodyminds like ours aren’t forced to adapt or disappear. It’s not charity. It’s not pity. It’s collective survival. And we don’t need to be grateful.

The squirrels haven’t had a chance to eat these ones yet! #plantsky #gardeningsky #springsky

Me too, Sunday. Me too.

Really need more of the people who are fighting against fascism to understand that disability justice is absolutely, axiomatically fundamental to that fight.

Laying in bed counting the number of disabilities I have instead of sheep… 1,2,3…11, 12, 13… #DisabilityLife #ChronicIllness #Autoimmune #AudHD #CopingStrategies

This book was SO GOOD. #APsalmForTheWildBuilt

1. The 1Q 2025 Anti-Trans Risk Assessment Map is complete, and there are big changes. I have issued a "Do Not Travel" for transgender foreign citizens. Risk has deteriorated broadly across the US. Transgender youth see changes in previously safe states. Subscribe to support my journalism.

Anyone else read this book and want to rage at it with me? I thought I had enough hate for it and then skimming through the upcoming pages I see MY COUSINS NAME 😳✋🏼

Get yourself a cat who adores you as much as Oliver. It’ll make your life a million times better. #catsky #kittensofbluesky

Today I finally after ten years can say “I have #lupus” rather than the mouthful of comorbidities that don’t fit the threads word count 🥹🥹🎉

Deleted social media and now I scroll Zillow instead… this could become problematic 😆

“One short day in the emerald city” 🏙️

Sunset blvd on repeat 😍

Pickleball and tulips… Spring is here 🌷☀️🏓

A really fun time to be working in education 😶

If you want something wholesome and endearing to do today, keep the Tesla stock on your screen.

Awww! It can be hard to rest if you associate doing nothing with being lazy, but maybe some rest options could help. I love this graphic from Project Heal so much that I used it in my earlier arts programming. Maybe you can try a type of rest that feels more doable & work your way to others in time?

What a different world we could have.

The horrifying realization while you and your roommates are watching “The Help” that Trump would have been 16-18 in the time period this took place. History is not that long ago.

My 2025 AG set would be me in a jean jacket, my red boots, a lavendar oat milk latte, my two cats in a cat stroller, and a stack of library books 🤣 plus two roommate dolls because this AG doll can’t afford to live alone 💁🏼‍♀️

Guess I’m that cat lady now because I bought a stroller. Got two houses down the street and Lottie let out a pathetic “meow” so we came back in and will try again when the sun comes out! She was very happy to come back inside and tell her brother about her adventures 🤣 #CatSky #KittensOfBlueSky

And on a Polaroid!!! 😱 referencing the missing Polaroids maybe??

As I’ve been saying, there is a theme amongst celebrities with sunset blvd and the black cat and so much early lgbtq history!!!

“You’re perfect the way God made you” as Trump is talking about eradicating autism and queerness 😐

Oliver says this is bullshit

The chanting of USA reminds me of when the Ken dolls took over BarbieWorld

Feeling sad about the world so of course I’m watching the #USAddress tonight 🥴 #SelfSabatoge

can't believe it's 2025 and i'm stressed about tariffs and measles, like am i a character in an american girl book
