I graduated with a BSMS dual degree in Biological Sciences. I could only finish this because of the kindness I keep on receiving. #DisabledInSTEM 1/n

[Shireen Sultana @LifeisinDNA]

To every disabled student who has made it through the graduation season, Congratulations!😇😍🤩

To everyone who could not because of barriers, I am proud of you. I will try to stand up for your inclusion whenever I can.♥️🥺

#Accessibility is MY right!

I was compelled to file case in the Court @Office_of_CCPD @socialpwds against @theonlycheb, @ICMRDELHI, @DghsIndia & the three hospitals under them - @SJHDELHI @DirectorLHMC, @RMLDelhi.

@NetMeds Replied.

[Shireen Sultana @LifeisinDNA]

@NetMeds please don't make it a monthly affair of delaying the delivery in sending meds when you take a good amount of money for NETMEDS plus subscribers. Please get in touch over DMs and process my order ASAP.

What’s something LIFE-SAVING from your specialty that everyone should know?

[Joanna No Banana @JoannaNoBanana]

Hi disabled and/or chronically ill friends,

What's your favorite food life hack to make eating more accessible for you?

[Candace D. @DiaryofaSickGrl]

Not everyone can afford/make it to a therapist! What’s one thing your therapist has said that you think everyone should know? 🫶

[ThePOTSPostman @ThePOTSPostman]

One thing I hate about chronic illness, and I’ll probably never get used to, is the unpredictability.

You can go from feeling okay to a full blown flare in a couple of hours.

The only consistent thing is the uncertainty of how you will feel day to day.

[Candace D. @DiaryofaSickGrl]

Anytime my baseline worsens, my grief continues. Anytime I miss out on something important, my grief continues. Anytime someone important in my life walks away, my grief continues. The grief of chronic illness/disability can be continuous and so heartbreaking.

[Shireen Sultana @LifeisinDNA]

It's peak summer and I have fainted twice due to not having access to cold water, I am sure you treat your customers better.
Please get in touch ASAP. And I barely have any energy to again deal with rude, complex people.

[Shireen Sultana @LifeisinDNA]

@LGIndia series of unprofessional behaviour from your repair team, please help! This is multiple days of requesting.

[Shireen Sultana @LifeisinDNA]

@LGIndia Can you please get in touch over DMs? It's very unprofessional on the servicing team part to keep people waiting for hours after a set time has been set up for appliance repair. The best they could do is inform, not reject my calls.

[Kelly @broadwaybabyto]

A few months ago a “friend” told me that he felt disabled people should be denied access to healthcare so “survival of the fittest” could happen faster.

That people like me are the reasons he - a non disabled cishet white man - can’t get ahead.

How did we get here? 🧵/1

[Shireen Sultana @LifeisinDNA]

@LGIndia I depend on my refrigerator to keep my medicines safe, and to not faint during peak noon hours. Can you please get in touch at the earliest?

[Lou @plagueprose]

I'm reposting this Basic Acute COVID Care guide that I wrote recently bc I know A LOT of people need this right now. at the end of this post there are more guides linked that are more in-depth and more geared towards herbs/supplements you can purchase.

Bravo, #Budget2024!

Inclusive growth by completely forgetting people with disabilities, not even mentioning them once and giving a generous 0.025% of the budget to @socialpwds for our empowerment.

Truly redefining #SocialJustice!

@LGIndia Please make sure you resolve this as soon as possible.

Words matter! Let's use them to build each other up, not tear each other down. Why bring mental disability into criticism? When people with psychosocial disability can become judge, why not IAS? Insulting mental disabilities only perpetuates stigma. #RespectAllAbilities

[NCPEDP @ncpedp_india]

Union Budget 2024: Will the 7th address by Finance Minister @nsitharaman on July 23, 2024, under the Modi 3.0 government, be a feel-good budget for the disability sector?

Our ED, @armanaly, lays down comprehensive expectations from the disability sector, emphasising the need for dedicated budgets in central and state schemes to ensure targeted funding for disability inclusion.
