Jean-Luc was absolutely glowing about the lovely people he's been talking to with his @SpaceDadSupport page so I thought, "Why not join in the fun?" I hope I can be of use to you. Remember to take your medicines, hydrate, and dress warmly on your alternate plane of existence.

Sad that it's this account's four year anniversary today. Instead of celebrating, we're going dark to protest what is being allowed to happen. Follow us on other sides, our messages of hope and comfort continue there.

accounts will not post here further until Gr-k stops allowing *any* user to create sexualised pictures of women and girls without consent (children are legally incapable of consent). Both accts are available elsewhere. Follow there.

"Anyone can do anything if they try hard enough" statements are ableist. If you challenge those who say such things, they'll reply, "I didn't mean disabled people." They are excluding disabled people from "anyone" from the start. That's ableism. 🖤💙😷🥄

[Doctor Beverly Crusher @SpaceDocMom]

One of the best things we can do for the medical needs of any vulnerable group is work towards fixing the things in our society that make them vulnerable in the first place. Good medicine needs to include systemic change and vice versa. 🖤💙😷🥄

@SpaceDadSupport @JadziaVax @archaicf0ssil Captain, that would likely provoke yet another visit from the Temporal Accords enforcement folks, but I can at least encourage Yaffa to rest up and write a prescription for extra comfort and treats. 🥰

[Doctor Beverly Crusher @SpaceDocMom]

You deserve kind, compassionate, safe, and competent medical care. Even if you're not getting it, you still deserve it. 🖤💙😷🥄

[Doctor Beverly Crusher @SpaceDocMom]

If you're disabled and/or chronically ill, stop using "tips and tricks" from health-privileged ableds to chastise yourself. Your body works differently and you're allowed to find your own ways of doing what you need to do within your own parameters. 🖤💙😷🥄

[Doctor Beverly Crusher @SpaceDocMom]

Doctors who fail to take even simple, basic steps to protect their patients from airborne pathogens are failing at medicine. 🖤💙😷🥄

[Doctor Beverly Crusher @SpaceDocMom]

People who try to tell you that pain and suffering "builds character" are full of nonsense. Your character would be perfectly fine without so much pain. 🖤💙😷🥄

[Doctor Beverly Crusher @SpaceDocMom]

I truly wish I could wave a magic wand over all of you and cure your ailments in one go, but I don't have that magic even in my century. For what it's worth I believe you when you say you're suffering and I'm always on your side. 🖤💙😷🥄🪄

[Doctor Beverly Crusher @SpaceDocMom]

Health is never an indicator of a person's intrinsic worth. Those who believe it is in any way are health supremacists. 🖤💙😷🥄

[Doctor Beverly Crusher @SpaceDocMom]

May this be the year your health care workers take you seriously and actually give you the attention and treatments you deserve. 🖤💙😷🥄

[Doctor Beverly Crusher @SpaceDocMom]

Remember to celebrate tonight safely! Don't drink and drive/pilot, don't spread pathogens around, don't do anything you'll regret tomorrow. Make good choices! 🖤💙😷😷😷😷😷🥄

[Doctor Beverly Crusher @SpaceDocMom]

Anyone who tries to silence your self-advocacy about your disability/chronic illnesses with "TMI!" is not your friend and should be excluded from your social space as fast as possible. 🖤💙😷🥄

[Doctor Beverly Crusher @SpaceDocMom]

If it helps you get to sleep at night, feel free to pretend I'm there tucking you in and wishing you a good night. If you have dangerous chronic health issues, please imagine me there watching over you to keep you safe, because I would if I could. 🖤💙😷🥄

[Doctor Beverly Crusher @SpaceDocMom]

Holidays are a good time to remind you that food has no moral value. You aren't "good" for eating one thing or "bad" for eating another. Some foods are healthier than others but even that varies from person to person. Eat food. Enjoy life. Comfort food has real benefits. 🖤💙😷🥄

[Doctor Beverly Crusher @SpaceDocMom]

Stop doing things in ways that hurt or exhaust you just because that's how abled/health-privileged folks do them. Sit down, use a mobility device, use an accessibility tool, do whatever it takes to make your life easier and less painful. 🖤💙😷🥄

[Doctor Beverly Crusher @SpaceDocMom]

I will give you all the happy, loving, caring smiles I can while facing you, and still be able to turn to those who threaten you and glare at them with the fury of every protective mom in the universe ever, all condensed into one. 🖤💙😷🥄

[Doctor Beverly Crusher @SpaceDocMom]

Doctor's orders: everyone have a safe, happy holiday where you all care for each other and yourselves too. Now someone bring me cake and cookies, I've got the festive beverages! 🖤💙😷🥄🎄🍰🍪🥛🍬🍷🍾☕️🥤🎁🥳
