Storytelling is more than just using a platform to tell your own. It’s about passing the mic to those whose stories aren’t often amplified and need to be heard.
I use this platform to amplify stories, and I will share the ones I feel are important and worth hearing.
My hot take is that most of us have not adequately processed the trauma of the pandemic. And our sprawling, unprocessed trauma chews away at our brains in myriad ways that make us anxious about why we can’t seem to live our lives as instinctively or as joyously as we did in 2019.
Jaw-dropping? It amazes me the millions wasted on "reports" stating the obvious and what medical professionals and disabled folks have been saying since 2020.
“Everything must be done to raise the support incomes of people with disabilities above the poverty line,” write @NaheedD, @AmitAryaMD & @birgitomo in @TorontoStar https://t.co/ThWOIHTro3
BREAKING: #ONpoli gov't just voted against #PaidSickDays for the 28th time. We can't understand why @Fordnation and @MonteMcNaughton refuse to implement a basic public health protection that would reduce illness, save lives, and relieve the crisis in healthcare. #Justice4Workers
Also, for all my fellow disabled folks, please feel free to drop you gofundme and mutual aid requests here. Just a few folks I know who could use your help as well: @mayadavidgarcia @aliwatson117@Tinu @pandamoonxo @odetomedusa
I am also going to be adding new art to my shop tomorrow. Here's a sneak peak at one of the pieces that will drop in the morning. You can shop my art at

Not to mention just how many folks have had their lives SAVED because of the easiness of sharing crowdfunding and mutual aid links.
So many folks' lives will be made needlessly harder by the loss of this platform.
Twitter's platform made accessing medical research and data easy, especially in the search for understanding diseases like Long COVID and finding treatment.
I feel it is going to be very difficult to stay informed going forward.
Something that makes me sad about Twitter going away is the access to information for free. So many people have learned from this site. So many connections. It isn’t lost on me that a billionaire is the reason it ends… as I have shared before — being a billionaire is unethical
at the very least, if twitter does die soon, thank you so much to everyone who has supported me - whether it was a like, rt, follow, comment, or commission. it really means the world to me, and i hope to see you all elsewhere 💖
People shouldn't be getting upset at disabled people demanding more support! No one should be expected to live below poverty.
Disabled people need help and we shouldn't be punished for it. Us getting proper support doesn't take away from others. And it isn't asking too much.
Disabled people deserve more than just the very bare minimum. We deserve to have nice things and to actually get to enjoy life. Just because we have a disability, doesn't mean we have to settle for the bare minimum. We deserve to thrive and be ourselves and have cool things.
