“My Autism diagnosis has made me really good at marriage, feels like. I’m often saying to my NT friends, you can just communicate directly!” Interesting. I’ve noticed how Autistic directness is “wrong”, BUT relationship therapists basically teach couples to communicate like Autistics naturally do.

People have no idea how well priced Bibi's disability/mobility aids are and how excellent the quality is. Bibi's stuff LASTS. It wears well. And Bibi is bending over backwards to accommodate US customers right now due to tariffs we never wanted and Bibi has no control over.

Bibi has all kinds of wonderful stuff!! I'm excited about my cane preorder, but there's also super cute stuff for pets, sliding pins, different unique patterns you can get on matching stuff!! You can also get gift cards for your friends, disabled or otherwise - a great option with krimbo comin up!

SINGLE-PAYER UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE for ALL

Playing the annual game of how long can I go without turning my heat on, because heating is too expensive 🙃

What in the Looney Tunes is this. 🤡

A DVT is not a medical emergency.

I don't even know what to say about @aaron.bsky.team announcing that actually they feed all images posted on Bsky into an AI that just a year ago they told everyone they had banned from using Bsky images

Speaking of housing first, feds cutting supports for unhoused people in CA is a real telling illustration of their priorities.

i love the domino effect of trans people asking the moderation team to take harassment of trans people seriously and instead decided to perma ban a black guy who was one of the earliest users here

I've been warning for a while that Blue Sky will likely go the way of Twitter at some point, which is unfortunate.

NEW: Judge Immergut issues her written second TRO, blocking the Trump admin from deploying ANY federalized National Guard troops from ANY state in Oregon. (Full hearing thread below) storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I LOVE HIM 😍

I finished my final round of testing for my kidney donation. Just have to wait for the results to roll in! I am exhausted from the trip. It was definitely one of the hardest things I have done, physically. My heart rate when upright, because of the still clogged stent, was between

I'm going to be donating my kidney in memory of Winston, who died from kidney disease (December 2022).

Workers’ wages are increasingly being taken against their will to pay medical bills. In 45 states wages can be garnished for unpaid medical bills, and medical providers are taking advantage of that fact. kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

If I had a nickel for every time I've been asked if I have a central line... 🙃 Must be I look unwell enough to need one lol 🤣

His Trump voting buddies did it to themselves. Its the same thing I tell farmers I know in Montana who voted Trump. You fucked yourselves. You voted against your own interests and the bill is coming due.

If I were to ever get completely better, there are some things that I've had to do as a disabled person that I will continue doing as a healthy person: 1. Using a shower bench. Showers are so much more relaxing when you can sit. 2. Brushing my teeth in bed. Do you know how nice it is to just

Bedridden friends: How are you keeping your bed areas organized? I have so many pill bottles, supplements, snacks, pulse oxes, other medical devices, books, papers, etc, and the clutter is driving me up a wall. The stuff is necessary to keep close to my bed, but I crave a better organized space

COLLINS: So you're telling me you're willing to vote no every time? BERNIE SANDERS: Damn right

🚨🚨🚨 The telehealth extension ends TODAY. Call your 2 Senators & 1 rep. TODAY. There's a script in the post below. Tell them you're fine with the shutdown, but the freestanding telehealth bills need a floor vote! Gift 🎁 link: wapo.st/46GR21V It's *not* just seniors. Notes on the WaPo piece below:

Democrats, don't give in to this.

We are where we are today, because the Democrats refused to fix the US healthcare system and bring us in line with other industrialized nations, during the several opportunities that they had in the past. Both Republicans AND Democrats...are responsible. And we will all suffer as a result.

Love these people on social media that freak out over a covid infection, while simultaneously taking few (sometimes zero) precautions to protect themselves from getting covid. 😒

Medical provider: "I noticed you're wearing an N95. Do you have covid?" Me: "No. I'm wearing the N95 so I don't get covid." Another medical provider: "How come so many people are wearing masks today?!?" Me: "..........." It's like the wild wild West out there lol

People with mild ME/Long Covid & people who have recovered, please start advocating for the most severe instead of mildwashing the disease & using your story to sell your personal projects while feeding the media narrative of “individual overcoming” 🙏

when ur trying to bathe because you want to be hygienic but you don't have hands, float, and are basically waterproof

My company these days 🥰 Resting up for my next round of traveling to wrap up the final round of testing for my kidney donation surgery to treat my Nutcracker syndrome. 🤞🏼 Inbetween rounds of sleeping, I have been playing Stardew Valley again. Since the new updates, I have been

George Hardy, last of the Tuskegee Airmen's World War II combat pilots, dies at 100

About to get my first one done, and was reading up on the statistics and it looks like roughly 20% of first time mammograms get called back for further investigation 🙄 So basically, mammograms have a high false positivity rate. Not exactly something you want, bc then you need

View from breakfast in the Julian alps of Slovenia

the fact that people thing drag queens are inherently sexual (and thus shouldn’t be around kids) or, more simply, that dressing in feminine-coded clothing is sexual just tells you that they think women existing is somehow sexual

*forming a breakdance circle around the ducks for them to do their thing*

The fatigue after a medical trip and procedure OOOOOMMMGGGG Been sleeping almost non-stop since I've gotten back. It's to the point where I may actually have to go and get IV fluids because I'm so dehydrated 😭 I always try to drink when I wake up, but I often fall back asleep before I can get

I am back from traveling for my venogram! Still waiting on the report, but the images are telling an interesting story. The connection on my gown is to hook up to a hot air supply to warm up the patient! This was great, because I do remember waking up and shivering so hard, my left leg was

Kate is looking for somebody to help with tasks for about 20 minutes, 2-3x/week, in SE PDX. Please repost their original thread to get more reach! And of course get in contact with them if you are able to help, or if you know anyone else who is able to.

😱😱 (yes, I know why meds cannot be returned to the pharmacy. But this really sucks for the patient. Someone should be eating the cost on this.)

I recently got this game for free as one of Epic Games free games of the week, and it is a really fun game! I was a little bit iffy when I first started, but I have fallen in love with it. It's a very low stress game, reminds me of Zelda a little bit, store.steampowered.com/app/1062140/...

As many as 100 survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and other victims of sexual abuse are expected to attend a rally Wednesday in Washington, D.C. as a bipartisan Congressional effort gains steam to force the U.S. Department of Justice to make public its controversial files on the disgraced sex trafficker.

I didn't miss the Big Beautiful Obituary, did I?

I daydream about being woken in the dead of night by the sound of shouts, cheers, and car horns.

Also, I've heard the argument that the reason why the discs are encrypted, is in case the disc gets intercepted by someone. And ummmmm...they have no problem sending hard copies of medical records through the mail, and you're definitely not encrypting paper 🤣 Flawed reasoning. 🚫

Dear radiology - When a patient asks you to send an unencrypted disc to a surgeon's office...PLEASE do it that way. We now have to lose a few weeks of time, because they didn't honor the request, and instead sent an encrypted disc that now can't be uploaded for surgical planning. 🙄

Slept allllllll day long after my home blood draw this morning 😴 (got drawn 3x this week). My INR is now in range (on warfarin), so I can drop down to 1x/week lab draws. 🤩 Providing it is still stable, I can go down to 1x/month! TIME. TO. GAME. in my Halloween PJs😁 I have also completed my

OneDrive is malware. Change my mind 😡

Krasner: So, if what you have is a group of ICE agents, or even the military, coming into Philadelphia and committing crimes—assaults that are illegal, kidnapping, unlawful restraint, obstruction of the administration of justice—they can be prosecuted.
