Queer, brown, disabled, and angry.
In between bouts of raging about the state of things, I read books and play video games.

So I'm leaning towards doing some form of "life coaching" I guess? Guided by my OT education and lived experiences as an #AuDHD #ChronicallyIll #Disabled #Queer brown person.
Because I'd rather help my peers than be abused by the medical system from both sides of the curtain.

Which is to say, hey!
If you feel overwhelmed managing medication/energy/pain/doctors appointments, advocating for your care with doctors, if you're constantly over or underestimulated (just to name a few)...
let's chat!
For now, message me! Gonna get my ko-fi page up to date when I can.

Oh hey while I was gone I figured out I have #MCAS and have started more antihistamines.
Still haven't seen allergist/immunologist but even this change (and eating lower histamine) has been shockingly effective.

“Autistic people struggle with driving”
No…
*Some* Autistic people struggle with driving.
Others (like me) actually find it very easy. I see it as a logic puzzle with a clear process which means I plan, predict, etc. everything that’s happening.
Binary statements don’t work.

I'm alive! Still recovering, but alive!
Made it to the kitchen at least twice a day four times this week! And have taken care of the dog three times this week as well.
Still quite a ways from my previous baseline, but I'll take a new one, honestly.

Hello this is supposed to say *A* small-ish discord. Not some. A.
I found some small-ish discord server that has very quickly begun to feel like home.
I've literally never participated in conversations in discord servers before, but now I feel like I'm making friends. I don't feel overwhelmed, I feel excited.
It's amazing.
I didn't know this was possible.

Hey, so like...
If you can leave, cool. That's great for you.
But before you make the decision to get out, think about who you're leaving behind?
Not like... the general public.
But, you know, a disabled loved one? One whom you're worried about?
Just a thought.
Maybe talk to them about it.

We learned so much about airborne transmission in the last 5 years, yet have done little with that knowledge.
We could have clean air benchmarks in public spaces. Free respirators to anyone who needs them. PSAs about masking.
We could have greatly reduced ALL airborne disease.

Okay, worst thing I'm experiencing in this crash (besides, you know, all of it):
I try to stay hydrated. I get up to pee. My body/nervous system take FOREVER to return to a restful state again when I get back to bed.
By which point....I HAVE TO PEE AGAIN.

Changing the text size worked, but I unsurprisingly pushed myself back deeper into this crash so now I'm barely existing again.
I haven't seen my kitchen in...four days?

I've spent long enough back on threads that bluesky overwhelms me now.
Not even the content. The visuals? The text is bigger I think and switching between the two makes my brain feel weird.

Things COVID has proven:
1) The job you were told couldn’t be done remotely, can be done remotely.
2) Many disabled workers could have been working from home, but corporations just didn’t want them to.
3) Internet is a utility and not a luxury.
4) Universal healthcare is a necessity.

If you want to help disabled people fight New York's proposed mask ban... wear a mask.
If more people would mask up in solidarity, these important accessibility tools would be harder to ban.
Help us normalize masking and protect your health in the process!

I know that the unraveling of the republic is a very bad time for many of us and we are confronting experiences that are unprecedented in many ways but fascism and oppression are not a sudden development in this country and it is deeply insulting to act brand new about it.

It’s important to understand that when a white person says “this has never happened before” or compares some oppressive behavior to a foreign regime, but it *did* happen here to Black/brown people for years/decades/centuries, it represents a massive blow to solidarity. It’s selfish.
