Bilingual my ass; you’re either heterolingual or homolingual. Stop being greedy, one day you’ll meet a nice language and this phase will pass. The bible says Adam and Eve not Hebrew and Cantonese 👍🏻

Autoimmune conditions are the ultimate self sabatoge 🤔 😅

Men in hospitals get to just be sick and act how they feel.

Women in hospitals have to suppress emotion, be palatable, be pleasant to men speaking down to us, and smile (the correct amount) through the pain- all for the half the quality of care.

@fromsarahlex Ugh I think this is totally a sexism thing too. My male partner helps me on the phone and at appointments and they eagerly talk to him rather than me. Often happens even when I don’t give permission. 😒

[Chronically Ridiculous @EmilyCoday]

Don’t come for me. Online church is a thing.

My bf who is my carer has had a letter to book his covid vaccine because he cares for someone ‘clinically vulnerable’. Me, the clinically vulnerable person has had nothing 🤔

Trying to focus on the proud part and not the comparing-my-progress-with-long-distance-running-in-my-past part.

[Chronically Ridiculous @EmilyCoday]

I’m thrilled, proud, and frustrated to hit the 6 month mark for working out/ physical therapy.

@stefkaufman It’s sad to hear that you have to fight this in such an already scary time. Your family deserves so much better.

[Chronically Ridiculous @EmilyCoday]

@stefkaufman Wtf accommodation is that supposed to be? What disability works like that? Wow.

[Chronically Ridiculous @EmilyCoday]

@stefkaufman They’re always so determined to tell us if we are okay or not but never actually listen. Disabled people are the experts on what accommodations they need & yet we still end up in convos like this all the time. 🤬

[Chronically Ridiculous @EmilyCoday]

@stefkaufman We wouldn’t want the medical system to be “unfair” or anything. 🙄

[Chronically Ridiculous @EmilyCoday]

@stefkaufman Before a million people suggest them, patient advocates don’t help patients- they help the hospital.

[Chronically Ridiculous @EmilyCoday]

@claredorg @realsuejeffers @doctor_oxford @DSkippings THANK YOU. Finally someone said it.

[Chronically Ridiculous @EmilyCoday]

Too real. They’re “helpful, inclusive, and informative.”

We are “bitter, whiney and resentful” when we post the same exact thing.

non-disabled person: *posts about disability once*

other non-disabled person: thank u for posting about disability—no one does!

disabled person: I suggest following these disabled activists who regularly post about disability justice

same non-disabled person: *doesn’t follow*

@Imani_Barbarin My Old Pain Doctor: “Pain doesn’t ever cause suicide or suicidal ideation. There’s no link.”

[Chronically Ridiculous @EmilyCoday]

I think a lot of accidental overdoses aren’t accidental.

I cannot stress enough how close we are to a mass suicide crisis.
