Happy Disability Pride Month!

Disabled people are people and deserve opportunity, access, inclusion, and justice. If you are an able bodied person, can you make a commitment this month to educate yourself on disability justice?

Here's a good place to start: www.sinsinvalid.org

Just FYI we’re entering a summer Covid wave right now (especially western regions in the US); you can see it in the CDC wastewater plot here (and anecdotally a bunch of my friends are suddenly testing positive). www.cdc.gov/nwss/rv/COVI...

Serious question: How much do I need to pay attention to the details of the larger X Files mythology as I watch vs let it kinda wash over me? We’re watching for the first time and here at the start of s4 I’m hitting the “wait, what??” point and kinda love it but wanna have proper expectations.

Thank you, your cooling vibes have worked bc the heat wave finally broke and we got rain for the first time in weeks last night! 20 degrees cooler today, thank god. Do you live in a brick house? We do and sometimes I feel like I’m living in my own personal pizza oven lol.

Educating yourself about Juneteenth is great, but giving material support to Black people is even better, so let’s get a thread going. If you’re Black, post your payment links below (venmo, paypal, ko-fi, gofundme, etc). 👇 Everyone else, pick someone to support and repost. 💛

I’m equal parts cautiously optimistic and a bit confused as to how guanfacine isn’t just the opposite of Midodrine (which def helps me) so they, in my head, cancel each other out?

“This sort of ‘forgetting work,’ or contesting the past to remove unwanted memories, produces a cultural amnesia about the pandemic. And in burying the past, we sidestep accountability for what went wrong and preserve the status quo by failing to implement lessons learned from our own history.”

answering a specific question I just asked him. Like, bro, the thing I want to get out of this appointment is your answer to the question I literally just asked. But if he doesn’t want to engage with something he will redirect or outright ignore me. It’s really something.

It makes me wonder where he got that little tip. Another of his fave moves is to roll his chair as far away as he can get from me to say “what is it you want to get out of our appointment today?” to initiate a wrap-up. Not inherently a bad question to ask, but it’s often asked in lieu of 1/

Oh yeah, 100% feels like a tool he’s been coached into using for patients (women) who talk/know too much. Tbh I’m afraid to bruise his ego bc he’s neuro & they’re nearly impossible to get in with in my area. So if he feels I’m combative and disengages or fires me, my health could pay the price.

I had to call poison control when I accidentally took a double dose of a medication and the person I spoke to was SO NICE and so reassuring. I’m very pro-poison control.

One of the most infuriating patient experiences is being “managed.”

One of my drs interrupts me when I’m talking about medical stuff with small talk questions to derail me so that after I answer, he can then reply & take back control of the conversation.

Equal parts pathetic/enraging. #NEISvoid

This, 100%. I’m constantly telling my therapist that, more than anything, I want to get off the dynamic disability roller coaster. It feels like “adjusted” is a state that’s always just out of reach.
