You know the EDS pain is bad when you start fantasizing about medieval torture methods. I think just a lil bit of drawing and quartering would fix me

Feeling isolated lately? Check out this blog post I wrote for Rooted in Rights, highlighting just one of the many tools that I've found helpful in building covid cautious community!

If I see one more "liberal" use some variation of the ableist slur "t*rds" I'm going to lose it. I have noticed such a huge uptick in the casual use of ableist language in the last couple of months and it's actually really not okay and deserves to be called out. 🧵

Please remember that disabled people intersect with every other identity on the planet. Don't forget about us in your advocacy, mutual aid, and planning.

1/ RFK Jr. wants to observe unvaccinated kids in Samoa as a “natural experiment.” This is disturbingly similar to the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment, where researchers let people suffer and die instead of treating them. Let’s compare. ⬇️

If you're struggling financially due to government fuckery or for any reason really and you need infant formula talk to your pediatrician we can hook you up and don't like to ask questions.

“Those seeking jobs have been told they will have to prove their “enthusiasm” to enact Trump’s agenda and have been asked when their moment of “MAGA revelation” occurred” The loyalty tests currently being conducted seem more interested in finding those loyal to Trump than those best for the U.S.

This is 67 cases--a tiny fraction of TB's global burden, which exceeds 10,000,000 active cases per year. But the longer we allow a curable illness to infect and kill millions, the more TB we'll see in the U.S. Tuberculosis is an airborne disease, and TB anywhere is a threat to humans everywhere.

Never forget for many people lockdowns NEVER ended. We’re still isolated - only now we’re shunned and mocked and told it’s a “choice”. When you are trying to maintain a baseline and no one will make public spaces safe for you - it’s not a choice We’ve been excluded & forgotten. Wear a mask.

This is awful. PrEP is life changing. It prevents you from getting HIV. Millions all over the world rely on this preventative medication to safeguard their health… and Trump is targeting them. The cruelty is the point.

Chronic fatigue and migraines have kept me from writing for a long time now, but it's something that I really enjoy and feel like I need to do to process the world these days. So I sat down today (with a migraine) and wrote this: open.substack.com/pub/harmonyk...

Heads up! The @aclu.org Immigrant Rights Project has an EXCELLENT online resource available in multiple languages to walk immigrants or advocates through various scenarios of encounters with immigration officials or police. It includes contact #s for local ACLU offices. www.aclu.org/know-your-ri...

Secretly waiting for a Tumblr Renaissance

Looking for more #booksky crafty, disabled, and covid conscious people to befriend on here! Come say hi

This billboard says it all.

I can't remember the last time that I woke up feeling refreshed?? Is that something that able bodied people experience on a regular basis? My body only ever feels less tired, regular tired, super tired, or literally how am I still alive? tired

Constantly on the verge of deleting myself from social media entirely and clinging to it like a life raft in this increasingly nightmarish reality

If you're struggling to understand what chronic illness feels like: imagine having the flu. GI issues, headaches (or, in my case, migraines), full body pain & exhaustion, you feel like 🔥🗑. Now pretend you never get better. And the doctor can't help you. Now work a job & exercise & eat healthy &

HAPPY CELEBRATE SHELTER PETS DAY! I present to you Marceline (the vampire queen), our little 3-legged rescue. With @fullmetalharmony.bsky.social

Submitted without comment… ID: Imani dancing in front of a greenscreen that reads “Anthem backtracks on anesthesiology cap policy in СТ.”

Sigh.

1/3 of the way through this one and it is hitting SO close to home

I appreciate liberals suddenly caring about disinformation again, but those of us that've been tending this home fire for the past four years are gonna need y'all to recognize the covid disinformation you need to undo in your own mind if you want to stand in solidarity with disabled people.

Anyone else remember when Dr. Oz said that it was fine for 2–3% of schoolchildren to die? Yeah, he’s in charge of Medicaid and Medicare now.

A good article on the hidden & not-so-hidden financial costs of disability & being legally disabled in the US. One issue it doesn't mention is that the state comes for our estate when we die. And we can't be the beneficiary of someone else's, or they'll take that, too. Loved ones can set up a...

All of this.

Not watching MSNBC or any other outlet that normalizes this administration whatsoever. Not participating in the bullsht.

In case you were unaware, you don't HAVE to learn by making your own mistakes. You can choose to learn from others' mistakes as well. Often, it leads to a better outcome.

Yet another limb-different ghostie 👻 💚

The fun part about my particular flavor of OCD is that it's triggered by taking meds for OCD so I simply ✨️suffer✨️

Having ADHD and chronic illness is unfairly funny because ill just be in immeasurable pain while my brain tries to cope by playing itself a 15 hour loop of the singular line "WE LIKE TO PARTY. WE LIKE, WE LIKE TO PARTY"

Can RFK Jr. take away vaccines? Yes, actually. BUT he's more likely to destroy trust, change recommendations, and slow/stop the approval of new vaccines. My latest for @tnr.bsky.social: newrepublic.com/article/1885...

Concept: a DnD campaign based on Legally Blonde called "What, Like it's Bard?" where you just serve looks and study for the bard exam after dumping your privileged (high elf sorcerer) boyfriend.

One of my limb different ghost pinups! 👻 enjoy!
