When you become disabled, this is what you can expect:

“You just need to try harder”

“If it were really that bad you would have help”

“If the help is inadequate go to the hospital that’s what they’re there for”

What you can’t expect:

Actual friggin help.

@sunsopeningband He could easily be declared unfit due to the obvious signs of dementia. The whole system enables abuse of power.

It’s up for EVERYBODY if this is allowed to go forward.

Legal observers
Nonprofit executive directors
Bail funds
The nonprofits giving rides to people coming home from prison

Everybody

@cfs_jo Ha, exactly! The gov can go ahead and turn my camera on while they're at it and watch me lie in bed looking like death warmed over 😵

Does anyone has any decent sources on recovery rates for ME? Especially very severe ME?

@Angie_BoPeepers I can see that.

[Katy B @KatyBruce108]

Very grateful to @lammas_leaves for all her hard work on this.
It should never have been necessary & it's shocking that a #pwME should have had to do what she's had to do in order to ensure @MEAssociation make reasonable adjustments which they're legally required to.

@davro_t Chocolate for breakfast sounds lovely ☺️ Happy Birthday!

@Angie_BoPeepers I've never seen Bones, but I'm def going to check it out now. I get what you mean by projecting (I've gotten into a heated debate on whether Elsbeth Tascioni is autistic- I think she is!). Considering how varied the manifestation of traits can be, it isn't always easy to tell.

“You may cast me as a frightened little girl but when disabled people die as a direct result of this Bill—and they will—their blood will be on your hands. How do I know people will die? Because you will have made it impossible for them to live.”https://t.co/MhUiopbtlc

The one thing all my doctors agree on is that whatever is wrong with me is not their department.

For those with chronic pain, this is a common prescribed medication. Please check. If it's with CVS, you may need to call them since they don't print lot numbers on their labels.

Don't fall for the propaganda surrounding Canada's MAID regime.

UN CRPD, 90 disability orgs, disabled people and WHO's suicide prevention org all have reached a consensus on T2.

The propaganda has a goal of getting you to forget that in favour of romanticized versions of T1.

@Angie_BoPeepers I have to admit, it is refreshing to finally see a woman in the autistic genius role.

Your reminder today, as no one will report it, that the leading children's protection charity in the UK, NSPCC, opposes a blanket ban on social media, along with many other children's safety groups.

This is what they've said:

"But for countless children, especially those who feel shut out or unheard offline, social media isn’t a luxury. It’s a lifeline – a source of community, identity, and vital support.

“A blanket ban would take those spaces away overnight and risks driving teenagers into darker, unregulated corners of the internet. Everyone involved in this debate will have the best interests of children at heart, but children’s fundamental right to participate safely in the digital world, to access information, to connect with peers, and to have their voices heard must be protected. They should not be stripped of those rights because tech companies have repeatedly failed to build platforms that protect them."

Well done everyone! 🥳
