They/them. Autistic, PTSD, multiply physically disabled. Gardening, gamer, geek, baker, fantasy. Intersectionality is important.

I have feacal loading. My GI doctor 1/2

If you're quiet about your disabilities, you get accused of being a fake. If you're outspoken, you get accused of being attention seeking.

Disabled people deserve to be believed and supported without hate. We deserve to be able to thrive.

"If you use mobility aids, you're giving up."

Yep, I gave up.
I gave up on pushing my body past its limits constantly.
I gave up on conforming to an ableist society.
I gave up on placating ableist sensitivities.
I gave up on harming myself daily.
I gave up on denying myself freedom.

I am SO done with this!
"You can't talk for high support needs Autistics. They would ALL want to get rid of their Autism!" (Emphasis on all. I'm not arguing with those who do want that)
"Actually, I'm hign support needs, and I don't want that."
"You can type, so you're not high support needs!" 1/4

After having been ill with the flu since December, and getting complication after complication, I seem to finally be recovering! My GP checked me out, just in case, and he thinks my cough and throat pain are just some residue damage that needs to heal. Finally! 🥳

For 10 years straight:
People: "You're not disabled."
Me: "I really think I am though..."

For 5 years straight: "You're not physically disabled. Focus on your mental health."
Me: "Please, I'm so physically ill and getting worse every day..."

For 7 years straight: "Ok, you got some physical 1/3

USA progressive people: "Read banned books!"
Me, a Dutch person: "Why would you want to do that?"
America: *bans LGBTQIA+ books*
Me: "Oohh, you're banning THOSE books. Yea, read banned books then, I agree!"

20 years of having multiple chronic illnesses, but not being believed. Undiagnosed, untreated, unsupported.
Then years of being believed, but being pushed to do more than I can by people with more power than I (like government officials).

Now I'm in the WLZ, which is a budget 1/2

I just want to remind everyone that it's scientific fact that Designy is the best sibling ever. This scientific study has been conducted by Issha. It's a survey study with N=1.

Conflict of interest disclosure: Issha is Designy's sibling, and the person the survey was issued to.

Sorry for not having posted since Yule. I got a really nasty viral illness, that my body was not fighting properly. Had 2 ambulance visits, an antibiotics course, a resulting severe sinus infection that was stubbornly sticking around... But I'm finally recovering.

Happy Yule everyone! 🌲🥰

Everyone with any type of curly hair: Your hair is BEAUTIFUL and don't let anyone ever tell you otherwise!

Thank you for the kind words @lenalee.bsky.social ! It was great having you around. Even though I was sleeping for a big part of it (disabilities were flaring up), it was nice seeing you again! Everyone, go listen to DJ LenaLeeLuna on Twitch! She's amazing!
Left my Mom's place after she basically said: LOL I can't live with you. I am now in an apartment a friend graciously opened up for me. But before I could move in I spent some time with old friends @issha.bsky.social and @designy.bsky.social! They are both geeky streamers and were wonderful company!

Me for over a decade: "I swear that I have a crisps addiction! I even get withdrawal symptoms if I don't eat a whole bag each day! Dizzy, weak, shaking, fainting..."

Me finding out I have Orthostatic Hypotension, and salt helps: "Oh... 😅"

As a child, I used to hang on to everything that had a holo effect on it. You know, that rainbow effect? It was so stimmy...! Now I have adult money. Do I have whole rolls of holo paper? Maybe... 😏😌

I've been to Düsseldorf in Germany for a midweek, with my sibling, to see the Christmas market (Weihnachtsmarkt). That was quite an endeavor with all our disabilities! We went a midweek, so we could see the market in little bits. That was a good choice, as we needed that time. We also went by 1/2

Annoying people online: "How dare you self-diagnose anything ever?? Always go to a doctor!"

Doctor: "I mean, you probably have it, but I'm not going to test it, as there's no proper treatment anyway. Can't you just assume you have it and support it?"

My Sjögren's experience. 😀🫠

Housekeeper was a really nice lady. 😊
I'm so surprised at how much able-bodied people can get done in 90 minutes!
But the next day she got ill (I'm so glad I distanced and didn't shake hands), so she can't clean on Thursday, and they don't think there's a replacement available. Oh well. 1/2

@roseblue87.bsky.social Jij hebt huishoudelijke hulp toch? Is dat via WMO of WLZ? Ik krijg morgen voor het eerst de huishoudelijke hulp (WLZ) langs. Heb jij tips? Weet jij wat ik mag verwachten? *is enthousiast, maar ook nerveus*

I've been away from this app for a while, but I'm back. In the meanwhile I got 3 extra diagnoses, and got approved for housekeeping. Housekeeping will start upcoming Tuesday. I'm so relieved! This is incredibly necessary.
