I have just been denied my request for N95 masking for an upcoming in person rheumatology appointment with Mercy Medical Group/Dignity Health because they "can't violate staff rights."

[BlindinPhiladelphia 🌈♿ @BlindinPhila]

There's no such thing as "regardless of colour".

It's really fucked up how often wheelchair users are refused emergency services because ambulances are not wheelchair accessible. Who else has had this problem?

Honestly, the reason why I haven't been on here much for over a year is because I'm so terrified of her and her supporters. But you know what... Fuck that. Not going to let racist, ableist, trans hating people run my life.

[BlindinPhiladelphia 🌈♿ @BlindinPhila]

Bracing for the ramp up of stalking, harassment, and death threats from my ex and her supporters. These assholes really need a productive hobby. I hate this shit.

I set up a Discord server for disabled transgender people. If this is you and/or you know someone who might need it, DM me for the link. 🌈💖💕

[Dr. M&M’s 👊🏾✊🏾🧑🏾‍🦼👸🏾 @AnBeautifulSoul]

Today I decided that I was going to take my kids to the aquarium before we got there a woman called the cops on me. She didn’t believe I could be Black , disabled and in a wheelchair with children. She believed I kidnapped them.🤦🏾‍♀️ I can’t …… y’all

"Take more than one mask when you go to medical appts" you may suggest? Well, I would if they'd let me. Nearly all of the time, they refuse. Because to them, masking is only a liability concern. They really don't give a fuck about protecting the most vulnerable.

[BlindinPhiladelphia 🌈♿ @BlindinPhila]

It really frightening that because masks are largely cost prohibitive for me, the only times I can grab a mask is when I go to medical appts. That means I'm interacting with hundreds of potential carriers of illnesses, esp viruses, that could kill me before I can access mask.

[🌸Bibi🌸♿ @BibiBlossoms]

All these people shocked that there's so many bad nurses haven't spent a lot of time in a hospital.

One time, I was in pain crying & the nurses were right outside my door laughing at me. Saying I was probably a drug addict and that they thought I was pregnant cause I was so fat

[Bonnielin Swenor PhD @BonnieSwenorPhD]

A decade ago, I was 'kicked off' a research project bc the PI didn't understand how I - a person with low vision - could see my data. They said they would never trust my work. Today @NIH ACD passed landmark recs on disability inclusion. https://t.co/LxkUIgQAGT

Please RT and donate. Still homeless. Shelters won't take me because I'm trans and "too disabled". I need $750 to get me to a safe place to land. Thanks in advance. Cashapp $BlindinPhila

[BlindinPhiladelphia 🌈♿ @BlindinPhila]

Would be great if websites and apps were required to have uniform accessibility options. Browser and device settings aren't enough. Having to go back and forth between various forms of lacking accessibility is extremely exhausting and time consuming.

@aspoonfulofpain Exactly. But billions spent on bailouts for massive corporate conglomerates who purposely tank global economies and ruin our planet are totally worth the expense. /sarcasm font

[BlindinPhiladelphia 🌈♿ @BlindinPhila]

Exactly this.

[Al | A Spoonful of Pain @aspoonfulofpain]

The judgement on people who are receiving benefits pisses me off SO much. I don't care how much you dislike someone, saying "it's not even their money" / "it's the taxpayer's money" / "I'm really paying for you" whilst judging how a person spends their benefits is so awful.

[BlindinPhiladelphia 🌈♿ @BlindinPhila]

Really, nobody should be doing this. Reasons given here

[Nicole Lee Schroeder, PhD @Nicole_Lee_Sch]

A reminder for every academic event planner: please stop centering your get togethers around food. I don't like to describe my medical diet in detail. I don't think there's anything thrilling about a lunch, dinner, or drinks. Also it's still a pandemic. 1/2

@BeingCharisBlog Seriously. The ableds are so fucking clueless.
