Hi friends! Trying to get back to videos after a long break. Hope my brain lets me stick with it this time bc talking to the camera really helps me process all the stuff #ChronicIllness https://t.co/zNu22QntzT

Remember when I told y’all they like to use disabled people to harm other marginalized people while doing nothing substantial for disabled people?

In this case it’s the houseless.

Getting bloody sick of the tone of the whole 'why do we need early diagnosis' crap. Fucking hell. I might have an intact abdominal wall, knees that could kneel, toes that stayed in place, and ankles that wouldn't swell up if I'd known and not pushed so far

@KappyKatherine There are so many of us here haha :) Hello!

#NEISvoid So I found a note a pharmacist has scribbled down for me ages ago about low dose naltrexone being helpful for spontaneous uticaria & pain from hypermobility. Anyone have experience? Thoughts?

If you're wondering why I'm specifically tagging you among everyone else,

It's because I believe you're the one person who would actually try to change this.

Please support the #ActuallyAutistic community & remind people eugenics is bad.

Did I just cut all my hair off despite having no idea what I’m doing? Yup. Is it a mess? Also yea. But is it less of a care / sensory nightmare now that it’s a lot less weight? Yup. Gah. At least with lockdown I can grow it out b4 having to see ppl in person again 😬

[The Itchy Zebra @TheItchyZebra]

@radishdolphin @OdyO11 That is a terrible advisor. I’m so sorry

@sickandsalty I’m struggling to write with my ring splints on, they seems to dig in in wierd places. Does the foam help w that too?

[🌸Bibi🌸♿ @BibiBlossoms]

I find it weird that people take my threads about ableism as personal attacks. That they minimize them to being just about my own experience when it's such a common experience amongst disabled people. It's not whining, it's advocating about serious issues that affects millions.

[The Itchy Zebra @TheItchyZebra]

#NeisVoid any late diagnosed #ActuallyAutistic folks out there with advice for talking with your family about it? I can’t mask anymore. I just can’t. And I want them to understand but also not jump to supporting bad organizations & it feels overwhelming 😔

[♿️ Hate Kill 🏳️‍🌈 @xngvr]

hey y'all tired of the world being inaccessible and want to inconvenience someone else about it?

these eggshells finally came in!

you can see in the second pic, i tried to remove it at the corners and it just chips away

[BangTheDrumEhlersDanlos 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @EhlersAintEasy]

The most annoying thing about 'Have you tried Yoga?' is that I did and I was really really good at it, better than the teacher perhaps, totally effortless! If it didn't fuck us up we could have had careers as instructors! 😂

[The Itchy Zebra @TheItchyZebra]

@vvictorman_uel Haha yea this is like 90% of my attempts to communicate in TikTok. Just like “hiiiiii autistic ppl I think I’m 1 of you? I have questions!”

[The Itchy Zebra @TheItchyZebra]

Cute doggo video. #DogsOfTwitter #ServiceDog #DisabilityTwitter Disclaimer - some goldens are high energy weirdos. Temperament test a bunch of pup’s b4 you commit to a prospect! https://t.co/GOIcw9wYQr

[The Itchy Zebra @TheItchyZebra]

@vvictorman_uel Right? I’m so tired of everything 😭

[The Itchy Zebra @TheItchyZebra]

@vvictorman_uel Like, yes these things are directly related to my health. I also need better forearm crutches if I want to hike again. But the tech stuff scares me to ask for - I worry ppl won’t see the health need 😬

[The Itchy Zebra @TheItchyZebra]

@vvictorman_uel I keep thinking about doing this too (for Apple Watch & to replace my ancient broken MacBook w a MacBook Air bc I can no longer carry the weight of my old laptop wo a lot of back pain). But I keep feeling wierd about it 😭
