ER closures disproportionately harm chronically ill, medically complex disabled people—including kids.

The current public health crisis is a disability rights issue.

"My ICU Summer: A Photo Essay"

This was a tough thing to write but it was cathartic.

Still processing and recovering.

This is where I'm at right now.

#AskingAutistics

I would love to follow more autistic people (and other NDs) in general, especially autists outside of Europe and North America. More non-white autists!

Any I can follow? And please, not just popular users! Just anyone who don't mind having more followers.

[Karli Drew ♿️ @KarLeia]

Please understand: advances towards “back to normal” largely involve the reversal of accessibility measures.

Telehealth appointments? Accessibility.

Remote work? Accessibility.

Widespread delivery and curbside pickup options? Accessibility.

“Normal” isn’t good enough.

Okay, let’s talk about how a Nonspeaking Autistic writer, Gregory Tino, just published a children’s book called The Autistic Boy in The Unruly Body, and how it’s the #1 new release on Amazon’s “Autism and Asperger’s” category. But first, a #NeuroInclusive story about #Apraxia

Canada is facing a blood supply shortage right now. Please donate if you can! I did a few weeks ago but can’t again until the end of September! O+ and O- are most needed! #itsinyoutogive @CanadasLifeline

[Michael Elliott M.O.M @AFPAElliott]

Cancer affects too many & those healing & fighting need platelets. Approx 50% of all platelet donations go to help patients. #itsinyoutogive & happy to help someone in need. To donate please go to @CanadasLifeline

Canada has only a few days’ each worth of O+ and O- blood in banks across the country at a time when the number of donors is at the lowest in a decade, says Canadian Blood Services.

🚨POST-COVID & Kids🚨

New @CDCgov report showing quite clearly that children are at significantly more risk for life-threatening diagnoses after COVID infection. Very convincing evidence that prevention of COVID-19 in children is very important to reduce childhood mortality.

@Beyond6S @AshleySpencer I agree

[Beyond 6 Seconds: a neurodiversity podcast @Beyond6S]

@AshleySpencer I’ve read in a few places that neurodivergence can extend beyond our innate “wiring” to include acquired conditions like TBI. I’m not sure who’s “in charge of” defining neurodivergence, but I think you can be neurodivergent with a TBI, even without ADHD.

It cost 0$ to RT a Black disabled queer small business! It could lead to my next sale.

I sell pins, compression items (gloves, hip brace, wrist brace, socks, knee sleeves, etc), ita bags, cardigans, plant pots, jewelry and so much more!

Store details below!

Before Canadian staff members were withdrawn from the embassy, they received instructions from Ottawa about what to do with the warning that their Ukrainian colleagues could face arrest or execution.

The instructions were clear: Don’t tell them.

@internetuserf12 I see no one wearing masks here in places. I guess people just don't care. Don't get it honestly. Why risk catching that stuff? I don't want a massive hospital bill or to get sick. I get stares and comments in places, but I don't care. They can think what they want.

[Laura B @l_kim76]

@internetuserf12 Seriously…they thought covid isolation/quarantine period was bad…ugh…they just don’t care even more…guess we don’t have much we can do but brace ourselves as we speed head on..it’s going to be quite an impact 😩🫣

[Hazie Thompson @haziethompson]

@ChronicPainFive You can request free high quality masks from @DonateMask

So, autism. Jk, jk 😂

[nina @ninagrewrites]

I like being around people who let me be me. someone I can sit in peaceful silence with, who won’t bat an eye when I hum a weird tune aloud or blurt out random questions. someone who listens intently when I’m rambling about a topic I love, even if they might not understand
