Me: dishes dishes cleaning cleaning My heart: thump, thump, thu— DANGER DANGER DANGER My head: isn’t this merry-go-round FUN? Look at the spins! Me: 🙃 I should lay down. #disabled #livingwithdisabilities

I deleted all of my socials as a digital protest. It felt great at first, but… my therapist is really worried about how lonely I’ve been. I just don’t have any irl community. So ig I’m gonna have to get back on Facebook for the support groups before I fucking kms. 🙃 I can’t even protest right.

Becoming suddenly disabled has been one of the hardest transitions in my life. Next week, I start a course with #MeritAmerica that hopefully opens a whole new collection of doors for me and my family. 😭💕

Valparaiso protest next Thursday!! #nokings #protest #valparaiso #indiana

I’m not going to be responsible for the monster that’s created when my family and I can’t get our medications.

Nothing is more humiliating to a poor person than having a non-poor person comb over every aspect of your life & determine that you don’t deserve good food or nice things every now and then because you are poor. The problem isn’t the Taco Bell, Steve, it’s that ppl aren’t paying a livable wage.

THEIR NAME WAS ELISA RAE SHUPE! #restinpower #restinpeace #nonbinary #veteran

How is it that a woman old enough to be my grandmother is attempting to bully me? You’re my kid’s teacher. Teach or shut up. A direct quote from her: “if you don’t go to church, you don’t like god! Just like [my child’s name]’s mom!”

If anyone calls me “differently abled” or anything along those lines, I will projectile vomit. I’m disabled. Don’t be weird.

Republican Senators just voted to confirm RFK Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services - a man that believes Black Americans should receive a different vaccine schedule than White Americans. www.huffpost.com/entry/rfk-jr...

Honestly, buying the Wicked movie was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, because my kids and I watch it weekly if not more than once a week. And it still makes me cry like a baby. Every. Single. Time.

I just got an appointment confirmation text for a “disability appointment” at a podiatrist’s clinic. On a Saturday. My disability isn’t in my feet. And the clinic is closed on Saturdays. Am I being kidnapped? #disability #chronicillness #wtf

If you oppose DEI you should have to use the full phrase, “I oppose diversity, equity and inclusion.” Bonus points if you add your points, “I oppose disabled veterans equal access to employment.” “I oppose mothers having jobs.” Making it an acronym turns it into a thought-terminating cliche.

Seeing all the protests today makes me feel a little less isolated. 💜

Tell me why my first reaction to aliens invading my home in my dreams is to thank them for stopping by?

I really can’t wait to be a ghost and watch historians look at clips of grown men dressed in Victorian outerwear holding a traumatized groundhog. They will absolutely think Phil is a god.

If you wanted to decrease the cost of homes, one thing you wouldn’t do is put a flat tariff on your main source of timber.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

When my Uber driver asked me if she could share something with me, I fully expected her to start talking about her god. Instead, she launched into a 15 minute long sermon about how great her chiropractor is, and that getting your back cracked will cure chronic illnesses 😂

Every disaster movie starts with scientists being ignored. Good thing we’re not doing that.

I can tell I’m really just… not doing well. Aside from the obvious, my two cats that don’t like to snuggle with me have not left me alone all day. 😭

If they take away my food stamps and Medicaid, I genuinely do not know what I will do. I KNOW this is what they want - they want us confused and defeated - but if I can’t access my therapy or my medications, and I can’t feed my kids, like… this is so dangerous.

You know those scam calls people get where someone pretends to be a police officer? I just got one from someone claiming to be an officer with border control. At least scammers stay up to date on politics. 😭

Fibromyalgia is no joke. It's seriously debilitating. #fibromyalgia #fibrohumor #fibromemes

Can we go after the power companies next? Because why is more than half my bill service fees?

Helpful Spanish phrases to use in case you ever encounter ICE 🧊 🐷 • La Migra = ICE • La Migra Está Aquí = ICE is here • No digas nada y pida un abogado = Don’t say anything and ask for a Lawyer

2025 has been my least favorite decade so far.

Later I got home and was told that same doctor misdiagnosed a severe ear infection so… I’m not surprised. American healthcare, y’all. #disabled #chronicillness

When the doctor looks perplexed while you’re explaining your symptoms. Girl, me too 😭😭😭😭 #chronichealth #disabled #invisibleillness

i’m so tired but i’ve got obligations 😩

One thing about me is that I will fight Nazis until I’m six feet in the ground.

So when it comes to "grow community locally" stuff, here's something non-Disabled folks especially have to figure out how to counter. There is a long-standing pattern where chronically ill people, even those who previously had extensive support networks and community, are abandoned and isolated.

What’s wild is that I didn’t realize how lonely I am out here until I deleted my meta apps. 🙃

Too #disabled to fit in with the ‘normal’ people Too ‘normal’ to fit in with the disabled people A lot of people hang in this balance #invisibledisability #actuallyautistic #audhd #neurodivergent

I used to have entire theatre productions when I was home alone as a kid. I was an entirely different person when my abusers weren’t around. 🙃

They took away affirmative action, DEI, the equal employment opportunity act, and told you it’s to center merit. Some of you actually believe you’ll finally be able to prove your worth without these things. Newsflash: it was never about merit, they just don’t want you in their spaces lol

My existence at this point is purely out of spite. You said I don’t legally exist? Well guess what? You owe me back taxes.

The amount of people I’ve lost because I can’t drive and am barely functioning as a human is heartbreaking. I just don’t want to be alone anymore.
