I don't meet the definition of disabled that allows me to get government assistance, but I can't imagine what my life would be like having to support myself without help from my family.

My partner has nerve damage and can't use their hands very much. They're having so much trouble with classes and getting adequate accommodations that they might have to drop out.

Centrists: the crackhead said I should try meth but my doctor said drugs are bad for me. Those are both equally valid and I need to take both arguments into consideration 🤔

The last bit of dinner today. Cooking with minimal dishes is an art. This one was free also because the ingredients were from a food pantry.

#HSD or #EDS? Are they the same condition that present differently, or do they have different underlying causes? There really should be more research into something we've known exists since like 400bc

My hip joint is stiff and painful apparently because I walk up to many stairs with too heavy a backpack. What am I going to do? Not bring anything too class? Not go to class?

I spend so much time on #accessable transportation. It takes me longer to wait for the elevator than to take the stairs. Longer to wait for the bus than to walk 15min back home. But I can't walk for 15min. It takes time and effort to exist as a #disabled person.

I think that #gender is very connected to sexuality. It's something that the #lgbtq community does not want to accept rn. Think about he/him lesbians or the fact that #queer is both a gender and sexuality. We already know that sexuality affects gender presentation.

When people offer to faith heal me I just ask them to say a prayer for me on their own time instead.
Faith healing is not going to cure a genetic condition.

I keep blacking out during lectures. If I'm taking notes you can see that I'm still writing but just completely incoherent. I can only wake up by changing my environment.

I'm hoping to help someone see that it is actually possible.
