@KivaBay Exercise, quite literally, makes my bipolar worse. Add that atop increasingly crippling chronic fatigue... yup. Thankfully my meds work and I feel pretty okay, fat and all. <3

As difficult and exhausting as bathing is for my increasingly crippled ass, there really isn't much better a feel than the feel of clean hair. #cripplelife

[Raeyn::Lillith::etc (she/her) @TheScarletB]

Hey @Always, is there a reason that your most recent redesign on the plastic outwrap is excluding #trans folx? Not everyone who bleeds is 'female'.

We were terrified of claiming things that we had a right to, just in case it got used against me when I applied for citizenship (firstling was born between me getting my indefinite leave to remain, and citizenship).

Theresa May's No Recourse to Public Funds policy has made immigrant parents' British children "second class citizens", denying them access to basic support - leading to malnourishment, sickness and a range of mental health problems, according to research.

Straw bans are ableist.

I screwed up on taking my meds last night and messed up my sleep hardcore. Thankfully, it means I can 'get away' with the nuclear reboot of sleeping all day. I feel quite human, albeit sore. :) #cripplelife #whups

Life with #chronicpain: excitement that you might get away with only taking paracetamol for a headache! #cripplelife #chronicpainlife

One of the ongoing issues I'm seeing with ADA access at larger conventions is the conflict between equality and equity. If a chair is made available to me, shouldn't chairs be made available to EVERYONE?

@stavvers I misread 'said' at the end as 'died', and that seems accurate as well. ><

[Raeyn::Lillith::etc (she/her) @TheScarletB]

'The compromise has been all on our side' -- MATE, the EU has made it clear that they're not giving us a better deal. For something that was supposed to be the easiest trade deal ever, I pin that fully on us in the UK for overweening pride (and idiocy).

[Raeyn::Lillith::etc (she/her) @TheScarletB]

Really @theresa_may, you have run a shitshow from first to last. I'm only 'sad' to see you go because all of your potential replacements are even worse.

[Raeyn::Lillith::etc (she/her) @TheScarletB]

1. Compromise: you never did.
2. Deficit: DEFINITELY not reduced.
3. Mental health funding: FUCKING LIES. I've not had an appointment in years.

[Raeyn::Lillith::etc (she/her) @TheScarletB]

HAHAH, the level of ragesnark I have against Theresa May's false statements broke my computer for a minute. ><

[Raeyn::Lillith::etc (she/her) @TheScarletB]

I am apparently much too excited about the European elections. I guess the thought of probably getting a @TheGreenParty MEP is getting me worked up. :D

Had the leftover half of my birthday cheesecake for lunch. #noregrets #cripplelife #chronicfatiguelife

((yes, still alive, just mainly spoonless by default))

[Raeyn::Lillith::etc (she/her) @TheScarletB]

Thank deity for dry shampoo. #cripplelife

[Raeyn::Lillith::etc (she/her) @TheScarletB]

Crushing headache? Of course, water will fix it. Not. But not wanting to take pain meds again for the pain that is almost always there, etc. #cripplelife

[Raeyn::Lillith::etc (she/her) @TheScarletB]

Psst, hey you. Yes you -- go buy pretty soaps from my friend. https://t.co/HpPQQmpOem

I wish that naps were actually useful for me, 'cause I would rather not be vertical right now. Alas, they make me feel horrible, so vertical it is. #cripplelife #chronicfatigue
