Most of the time I'm like nah I don't also have ADHD then today it took me 6 trips in and out of the house to hang the washing outside because I kept forgetting stuff and I lost my wallet at a restaurant a WEEK ago and only just now managed to call them to see if they had it.

Bad pain day has got me feeling especially resentful of the fact I got 0 points on my PIP assessment after detailing how, amongst other things, I'm often in so much pain that using the loo is difficult. Plenty of folks have expressed this before, but this process is so humiliating.

We believe the Supreme Court – which disgracefully refused to hear from trans people before its decision last week – has placed the UK in breach of its obligations under the Human Rights Act.
So we’re readying a challenge – join us:

Before I went on anti depressants, the imposter syndrome I have re my autism went into hyperdrive ("what if I was *just* depressed this whole time?). Well, it's been a few weeks and my mood is generally better (yay) but I can safely say my autistic traits are very much doing their thing🤘

Hey y'all, here's how to make BlueSky require alt text on your images so you don't forget, and also enable the option to show larger alt text buttons on images if needed.
Alt text is an accessibility tool to describe visual media to blind and low vision people. You should always use it. 💜

KJK’s bigotry demands a response.
To those she’s trampled, queer people, gay parents, Muslims, women, and all for women’s, trans, and human rights, this is your call.
They will not oppress in the name of women. Don’t let them. Rise up and be heard! ✊📢🪧

![Quotes from KJK/PP "
"Disgust is a perfectly good reason to reject something. Don't believe the intellectual rationale that asks you to discount it."
"Each and every one of you women who stand in my way will be annihilated."
"There's a state in America where on a birth certificate it can have two women listed as parents [...] Affirming parents as something they are not."
"A class of 7 year olds just walked past only 2/15 girls weren't wearing hijab.#ffs #disgusting #islam"
"I would advise you to also not employ anybody who claims to have body dysmorphia.”

Had my first ever ECG this afternoon and didn't really know what to expect and I didn't feel adequately supported. As such, my autistic body got very anxious and my bpm was up at 111 - so my reading wasn't a true reflection of my heart rate. 🤘

So now I'm nervous I'll be penalised for their failure to make accommodations. The irony is that one of the stallholders was a local autism support organisation. I did have a brief chat with them and got a phone number to ring. I've given the jobcentre feedback on how overwhelmed I was.

However, yesterday I went to a career fair they hosted and it was a complete sensory nightmare, meaning I struggled to stay in the room at all, let alone have any meaningful conversations with anyone. I had to fill out paperwork confirming who I spoke to and if I signed up for anything.

I've not talked about it much online but I signed on with the job centre a few weeks ago for the first time. I was v nervous about how my autism wouldn't handled. On the whole, so far, it's been a positive experience...

Last time we peacefully made our voices known and she fled, after one of her supporters allegedly injured one of our leaders.
