I wanted to thank everyone in the #ActuallyAutistic community for the feedback on my article on autistic loneliness. As a writer, my goal is to tell stories that matter; I learned a lot while writing this story & hope others can see themselves/learn, too. https://t.co/UzbefuE0Dq

@Jeopardy POTS is a debilitating condition that affects millions of people, many of whom go years w/o a diagnosis & are told it’s “all in your head.” The condition has nothing to do w/ the size of one’s heart. “Grinch Syndrome” is an unacceptable, outdated term. Do better. #POTS

@patsajak I mean, disguising ableism as a "joke" deserves to be called out, but okay.

@glow_smokey Sending love your way, friend! Glad you're feeling a bit better now!

[Emily @EmilyTaylorD]

@Theresa_is_Dead I hope she recovers quickly! Sending love to you and your mom! 💜

@NikitaDragun Maybe no one’s laughing because you’re throwing huge parties when you have young followers and we’re in the middle of a pandemic? Rapid tests aren’t always accurate, and you’re sending a message that it’s fine to ignore guidelines, which could literally kill people.

A maskless Marjorie Taylor Greene & her staff berated me in a hallway. She targeted me & others on social media.

I'm moving my office away from hers for my team's safety.

I've called for the expulsion of members who incited the insurrection from Day 1. Bring H.Res 25 to a vote.

saying "oh my God" is not say God's name in vain.

using the name of God to justify hatred towards your neighbors through things like homophobia, transphobia, racism, xenophobia, antisemitism, islamaphobia, ablism, etc. *is* saying God's name in vain.

@mj_engels @Shadow2Serenity Thank you, Mark! It was a privilege to be able to tell these stories!

[Emily @EmilyTaylorD]

@catticusrex49 @Shadow2Serenity Thank you! I’m appreciative of getting the chance to talk to so many amazing people! I also appreciate everyone’s willingness to answer my own questions and make sure I got terminology right, etc.

[Emily @EmilyTaylorD]

@JamesWafer85 @ChiariChey Thank you, that means a lot to me!

@theKevinGarcia_ Managing your energy is a big thing, too. It's hard, it takes a lot of time to learn, and some things are worth pushing yourself for. Still, knowing when to push yourself and when to rest is important. Sending well wishes to you and everyone else, too. <3

@theKevinGarcia_ Things that help (depends on the type of pain, ofc): heat, ice, magnesium cream. Slow breathing & ambient noise/chill music; I listen to the same music, and my brain associates it with being chill, which is good. Guided meditation if your mind is racing helps, too.

First time we’ve heard heels clicking down those stairs toward the inauguration podium.

[Ru 🌸♿️ (she/they) 🎀 @RollWithRu]

i find it so hard to comprehend that there are people who go about their day to day life without chronic pain ??? like imagine ???? wow

[Emily @EmilyTaylorD]

@glow_smokey That totally makes sense! Honestly, I think you and everyone else will feel much safer since everyone should have had a chance to access the vaccine by then. 💜

[Smokey Glow✨ @glow_smokey]

I’m seeing this a ton and NO it doesn’t. They have terms of service and he violated them. A social media platform is a privilege not a right. Abusing that privilege so much that it results in domestic terrorism means you lose it.
