An epileptic neurodivergent trying to differentiate insanity and personal growth…thanks COVID for forcing me to face myself! #epilepsyawareness#adhdawareness
@resisterlib Correlation does not equal causation, geez people! Deaths have spiked because the virus is finding new and improved ways of fucking with us all.
@JJJJessieJFan@BrainAblaze I take a separate medication for my migraines.

Although this isn’t technology that is unique to Tesla, it’s super cool! We often forget the implications that technology has for folks with disabilities, a self driving vehicle could mean a lot for folks with epilepsy for example. #DisabilityTwitter#epilepsyawareness#coolstuff
@BrainAblaze Sometimes I experience a kind of postictal mania, after tonic clonics I become very angry or sad usually wishing that I hadn’t woken up, and sometimes I discuss politics. Can’t remember my phone number but got asked the name of the president and gave a very aggressive response.

It is our right to explore our bodies, senses, and get to know what brings us pleasure, it is possible to make your fantasies come to life regardless of your culturally perceived level of ability. Finding your way safely to things that bring you joy can be so exhilarating.
@BrainAblaze I think that the first thing, always, is to be safe! Use protection, get adequate sleep, communicate with your partner, drink a lot of water and check in with yourself, your body, and your partner regularly.
