I’m non-binary and I use my name as my pronouns. I love math, biology, and naps.

@stefkaufman So like it’s not exactly a full deli but Bubbie’s on Hope Street

RT this if you think @POTUS should cancel student loans this holiday season.

I know it’s not good that my pt said my back is a hot mess, but honestly, given how often chronic pain patients are dismissed by medical professionals, it was really validating.

@contactesorx Happy for you and hope your experience is good!

Congratulations to dragon dictation for learning how to spell marijuana as I type up this variable list for a substance use study

Partner: when we next go to the store can we buy crack?
Me: um...what?
P: you know, the chocolate crack-crack thing. (P motions pouring with ice cream tub in hand)
M: you mean magic shell??

@stefkaufman I generally go dx by dx chronologically by when I first started having symptoms (not when I actually got the dx because lol) because that’s easiest for me to keep track of. Sometimes doctors try to do it by body system with me but that uh doesn’t really work with eds lol

While I was sitting on a bench a poorly parked bird scooter fell on me and subluxed a rib and something else in my back. So my evening is going great

Normative time is a technology of ableism. The cult of punctuality is ableism dipped in respectability politics. Disciplining disabled people for taking the time we need and moving at our own speed is ableism. And yes I will die on this hill. Crip time. BE LATE. #MakeAbleismWait

once again i am begging the general public to learn, accept, and understand what the word ‘chronic’ in ‘chronic illness’ actually means. hint: it doesn’t mean, ‘for a short time’.

The best time for RI to pass an eviction moratorium was months ago. The second best time is right now.

I'm an incarcerated journalist. I have no access to computers. The only way I'm able to write is on my prison JPay tablet. Today JPay updated their operating system so that you cannot save drafts to edit or make paragraphs. An intentional change to silence those of us that write

@britnidlc And if it’s trans sex it’s a quadruple mitzvah, because trans sex is always a double mitzvah! (No I have no textual basis for this but it is definitely true)

@GaySewerRat @NoaMaxwell_ I’m 23 & I use a rollator! I know what you mean, it feels like people are used to seeing all ages in a wheelchair, and people don’t really notice a cane. But a walker is big and needs its own space and isn’t attached to you like a 🦽. Also where’s the walker emoji??

So women’s wheelchair basketball is my new favorite sport

BIG NEWS: I’ve just introduced legislation in Congress calling for a four-day work week. It’s well past time that Americans have more time to live their lives, and not just work. Retweet if you agree, we need to make this a reality.
