Pisses me off that we’re stardust with the gift of conscious existence and having to spend our time on all this bullshit.

Disability is a normal thing that happens when you’re alive. It is not a personal failing. It is not a failure of parenting. It is not a thing you earn. It just is. Bc we exist in bodies.

Telehealth isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. For many of my patients with Long COVID and disabilities, in-person visits are exhausting, inaccessible, or simply not feasible. Removing telehealth coverage means denying care to those who need it most. We must protect access to virtual care.

We need more abled people to stick up for disabled people right now. They're going after accessibility, 504, IEPs, and RFK wants to put us in labor camps. Yet the ONLY people I ever see talking about this are also disabled.

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

Tomorrow will be exactly 5 years since I began to isolate and shield, to protect my health and life as a high risk disabled person— as well as the health and safety of my loved ones and my community. I feel infinitely less hope now than I did then. 💔

I think it’s not helpful to repeat claims that the administration is working on eliminating “DEIA” as though it’s some kind of corporate strategy; just say explicitly that they’re trying to eliminate diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility, and explain how.

They love disabled people in “inspirational” stories, until we ask for healthcare, jobs, and rights.

We’re still in a global pandemic. The threat of Covid has not passed. We’re seeing an increase in bird flu, measles, TB & more. Public health has been dying a slow & painful death for years. We are on our own. The good news? Masks work for more than just Covid! My complete guide to respirators 👇🏼

A) this will kill disabled and elderly people. B) Telehealth expansions from 2020 which allowed non-rural patients to use telehealth expire March 31 already, after the PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATION did nothing to support making changes permanent. They’ve been killing us for years.

No, the mail is not “the least of our worries.” It’s a fucking important worry. It is the only postal service that delivers to every address. They are only provider of complete mail services for overseas military bases and provide free overseas PO boxes. They help prepare passport apps. Ship meds…

There's a certain extent to which I& feel more pressure to keep my& composure as someone with a lot of mental illnesses. It sucks, there's more stigma to us breaking down. But gods do I& feel like I& need a good breakdown. I& feel so threadbare from trying to hold it together.

Disabled and disability aren't slurs. There is no shame in being disabled or part of the disability community. Trying to avoid using the words disabled or disability puts shame on the words and is actually ableism and eugenics. Knock it off.

In a small trial, nearly half of pancreatic cancer patients who received an mRNA vaccine had no signs of relapse after three years. Dr. Vinod Balachandran from @mskcancercenter.bsky.social joins us to discuss the results and what they could mean for cancer treatment.

I fucked up someone’s pronouns yesterday (no excuse, I fucked up) and a poster kindly reminded me of the correct ones. Listen. You can correct me on that anytime. Correct me on my birthday. Correct me on my deathbed. Because despite what terrible people say, your identity MATTERS.

Disabled people are the experts in our bodies. We know what we can and can’t handle, and often understand our conditions better than most healthcare workers. Respect our autonomy & don’t force us to put our baseline at risk. Let us be partners in our care.

I’m wondering if this is why my vasculitis flared up after almost a decade of being inactive… I’m confident I had a false covid infection in the summer— I had purpura return right afterwards. I haven’t been able to get the booster bc of inaccessibility. I rely on YOU all to help keep me safe. 😕

Hi, disabled people do not owe you kindness or patience or jackshit else when you do and/or say inaccessible, ableist, eugenicist bullshit nonsense. It is 2025. Learn to fucking deal with and treat us like humans.

Going to be quite frank, I do not find anything about this “king” stuff to be funny in any form, don’t think there’s a place for us to just crack wise about it and pretend it’s normal, yes we are all irony-poisoned but if we don’t draw a line here then we have no line

I need y'all to stop treating independent creators like Amazon. We're trying our best here, but we're just simply not going to have the same level of convenience or webstore capabilities as giant stores. We're doing what we can on our own with the few tools we can afford.

Pritzker is one of the most humane politicians I&'ve seen. When I& met him, I& mentioned having just lost my& insurance, and he immediately looked at me& with concern and asked "Are you going to be ok? Do you have a plan?" It's so rare that I& see politicians disturbed by the idea of us in danger

Are there any resources for a disabled person who can't afford to take care of their basic needs in California? I know someone who is struggling and whose parent who was helping supplement their income just died so now they don't have the extra money. How can I help?

I know others have raised the alarm on this, but I’m calling it now: Amazon is making this change so they can easily redact, restrict, and otherwise censor LGBTQIA+ books that were acceptable a year ago, but are likely to become outlawed in the US very soon www.theverge.com/news/612898/...

Bloomberg is reporting that federal workers tasked with approving medical devices for Medicare have reportedly received termination notices. As a wheelchair user who also uses some other assistive devices (canes, shower chairs, that sort of thing) I want to add some context to this.

Many people take their health for granted. They look at those of us with disabilities & think they’re better than us. We deserved it. We want to be sick. We’re not trying hard enough. They believe they will be the exception, and that belief drives them to take risks 🧵

I wish people didn't constantly want things from me. I know it's my fate cause I'm visible online and have a business. People are always asking things of me. Give me money. Share my posts. Do this for me. They don't care that I'm a disabled Black woman with severe health issues.

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

Don't bust into people's mentions to say that something potentially good doesn't matter. Don't bust into people's spaces to discourage them from fighting however they can. Why is this hard for some of y'all?

I see a lot of people saying now is the time to get out of the U.S. if you can. Please remember most disabled people can’t leave. It’s incredibly difficult to immigrate to another country when you have documented medical issues. Many are also too sick to endure a move. We must fight for them.
