Maybe this is fatalistic, idc. I functionally left Twitter a long time ago for my own reasons. But in the event this dumpster fire actually burns itself out, know that so many of you made it better for me. I learned from you, laughed with you & will forever be grateful for you💜

I'm not very good at this and had hoped that I'd never have to do this. Yesterday morning bifinmediasres passed away. They were such a wonderful person. I'm honestly not sure what else to say. They will be missed so much.

@MortuaryReport Fuck that's too real.

Honored to have gotten the opportunity to converse with and be quoted by @merkyywaters in this article. Thank you Dev!

Thank you to @AndreaLausell, @kthsdlr1, @toothasinteeth, @BifInMediasRes and everyone else who spoke with me!

There may well come a day when seeing my words in print doesn't make me indescribably excited, but today is not that day. Many thanks to @Health_Affairs for giving my words a home.

Don't get too excited, but I'm about to tweet multiple times. Fear not, I will disappear again into the ether shortly.

Y'all...I'm 32! When did that happen?! ....oh, I guess today.

[Syd Chasteen - Twi-thought Leader @BifInMediasRes]

Since apparently this needs to be said, I am in fact still alive. But continued concern for my well-being will always be appreciated. Maybe one day I'll come back and actually be an active part of my communities here. Guess we'll see. Regardless, be well dear ones 💜

Happy anniversary @NathanChasteen, here's to the rest of our life.

[Syd Chasteen - Twi-thought Leader @BifInMediasRes]

Happy Pride! Reminder that marriage equality is still not a reality for disabled people (lgbtq+ or cis/het). We risk losing access to health care and other necessary services as well as being subject to deep poverty.

[Syd Chasteen - Twi-thought Leader @BifInMediasRes]

I feel the need to clarify, that last post wasn't meant as a dig at neo pronouns. I do still use they/them. As far as being an anticistamine, I'm not anti cis, I'm just not cis. I'm still your friendly neighborhood agender demi disaster. Hope that clears things up. Love you, bye!

[Syd Chasteen - Twi-thought Leader @BifInMediasRes]

Happy Pride to all my queer and trans siblings. I am currently an anticistamine in need of antihistamines. My gender is chaos, pronouns may/hem.

[Syd Chasteen - Twi-thought Leader @BifInMediasRes]

I'm all but inactive on here, have been for a long time. It wasn't purposeful. I had actually just started to feel like I found a place in the online disability community when I left. Now I can't keep up. I'm realizing most people never registered I was here let alone that I left

[Syd Chasteen - Twi-thought Leader @BifInMediasRes]

Sure sex is great but have you ever had someone cup your cheek in their hand and look you in the eye in a way that makes you feel safe, loved and understood? 😌

[Syd Chasteen - Twi-thought Leader @BifInMediasRes]

I've been in therapy for a little over a year and today at the end of session my therapist said, "Next week we'll start talking about your traumas". Yaaaaaay 😒

[Syd Chasteen - Twi-thought Leader @BifInMediasRes]

My therapist says you have to tell me if you like me*

*for legal reasons this is a joke

[Syd Chasteen - Twi-thought Leader @BifInMediasRes]

Thinking it's about time to bring the blog back.
