@gracefmill I start packing to move 3 days in advance but wish it took longer lol 😂

@sabrinacoast_ Nope! I was 14 and it was 6 months after diagnosis.

Had the worst day and the best day, it was like hot sauce.

@Kidfears99 @hal12182 Bananas got those hard to break down carbs and potassium, makes sense to me ha

This is beyond offensive and not even close to accurate about diabetes or why people need insulin. Thousands of people in your district have Type 1 diabetes at no fault of their own - do you not care?

Shame on you.

[taff. @thetribegoddess]

if someone comes to you in confidence to discuss how you made them feel and you suddenly feel attacked and make it about you, that’s ego.

I can’t believe I had to hear the words “disabled, crippled cyborg” again at work today.

[assistiveTechnologyJustice @AssistJustice]

@wallflower_mads @haydenbetic Second this. Though, I’ve had parents quickly move their children away from me when injecting insulin; I assume they thought it was heroin. 🙄 it’s like really? Out in the open at a water park, ok 👍

[assistiveTechnologyJustice @AssistJustice]

@iamsqueeisback @emilyexploded You are hero I need, thank you 😂

[assistiveTechnologyJustice @AssistJustice]

I have a dream — not fearing being homeless again. One day the proletariat of insulin-dependent diabetics will rise up and overthrow corporate sociopathy and capitalism, I hope 🤞 until then, the fear in work continues, alas.

My favorite part was when they made us hike all day to the campsite from base camp, lugging gallons of water in case anyone got keytones, while also — carrying pounds of sugar to combat the effects of lugging pounds of water 😂

[assistiveTechnologyJustice @AssistJustice]

@gracefmill You ARE qualified! 🎉👏💪

[Beyond Type 1 @BeyondType1]

Reminder that the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 protects all people with diabetes at work, and requires employers make reasonable accommodations so you can do what you need for your health.

And to the writer - maybe ask why the ‘beeper’ is so important first?

@Kidfears99 @TheRhodri Saaaaame. UGH

[fuck “latinidad” @ytnessisdeath]

Do we need working class people in academia or do we need to abolish academia
