Disabled, parent, healer, witch, working for disability justice in a world not made for disabled people. Opinions are my own & do not represent who I work with.
@lmaosuine420@MoreHockeyStuff@GChristiemd @Mickolas9 @parden04@GuyLambertUK Thirty years of nursing and a lifetime of care says it's not the cross but the attitude. I have had clinicians try to force me to pray with them. I do not force my beliefs on my patients. I respect their beliefs. Would you defend my right to wear a pentagram discreetly?
@GChristiemd @Mickolas9 @parden04@GuyLambertUK I wear an I am a safe person button on my lanyard. It has pride colors. It is a statement that I do not discriminate. I treat all with empathy. I also wear a disability rights are human rights button. If that makes them choose another clinician. So be it. Their choice. Not mine.
@Olas_Truth Racism is not a disability. Being disabled does not give you a pass for bigotry. It's ableist to not hold someone accountable simply because they are disabled.
Roommate in hospital: “This is the third time they asked me if I want to sign a DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) order. I wish they would stop. I don’t want a DNR.”
Repeated requests concerning a DNR order are ableist, coercive and harassment.
No means no.

I don’t care how you spin it, people under 50 around the world are not suddenly having strokes and heart attacks and dy!ng of “natural causes,” for no reason. They are passing away from COVID complications/Long COVID.
@4WheelWorkOut How can anyone not comprehend that the entire premise of Slavery is to use another human being as an object not a person? History is whitewashed when taught but has this person been living under a rock their entire life? Objectified people get murdered.
@BankofAmerica Aren’t you the guys that a memo/ email was leaked about how keeping us peons poor and the rich in power is good for your profits? Yeah- hard pass.
@IronCityImages Cause us not having access protects POC or is it that he believes in an oppression hierarchy? We can work on both. Plus more- that’s what intersection is
