Being a ND cancer patient is so horribly, painfully hard.
Specific support for patients like us is rare. It’s insane!
Pls help me raise awareness of this acc & the need behind it.
No one should feel alone.
Special focus=breast cancer.
Pls be kind

Amazon, Facebook, and Google all have reams of data about you—including your likes and dislikes, health information and social connections—but they’re not the only ones. Countless murky data brokers that you’ve never heard of collect huge quantities of information about you and sell it on.

if I had a ton of money for #LongCovid research I’d spend at least some of it on post covid visual snow syndrome. 15% of ppl with vss believe they got it from covid (and around half from a tbi). it’s super under researched.

Also, holy shit, Bluesky sends real traffic. Will update this tomorrow with firm numbers but journalism is going to move here for sure. Twitter is a drop in the bucket. It's over, but we are so back, and so on and so forth

My autistic masks were a prison created by my abusers over my entire life.
They were the 'me' I would think of, they were a filter every impulse went through. They told me what I could and couldnt think about.
But they were not me.

The biggest barrier of those in the disability community is that which denies them the same quality of life the able-bodieds enjoy. For some reason there is an undercurrent of insistence those whose lives are lived differently should be expected to accept a lower standard of living.
Today is International Day of Persons with Disabilities
“27% of Canadians aged 15 years or older, or 8 million people, have one or more disabilities, and that 72% of people with disabilities experience barriers to accessibility in their day to day lives.”
