Uh, hello, new followers! A bunch of you appeared this afternoon, I'm guessing from the neurodivergence/disability starter pack?
I post about tech, life, mental health, ADHD, autism, chronic illness, disability, video games, whatever.
I'm also unapologetically queer and trans.

These fucking seizure like things have gotten so much worse since I got my CPAP, and at the last gas station we stopped at I had one so intense that I full on fell on the floor. I’m fine but I’m so annoyed

When the Blue Angels flew over my hospital I stayed my Black ass inside working. When yall were outside clapping 👏🏾 I ignored it, cause I knew yall didn't mean it and wouldn't take care of us. The first calendar year of Covid 19 the fee to renew my license increased 😑

I try not to impose rules on my self, but one Strong Suggestion I encourage is that if I wanna play video games all day, that's great, but if I want to play piano, I have to do that pretty early in the day. Otherwise my hands get tired from video games, and I'd rather prioritize piano

Ok palate cleanse time. In case you missed it, here's my most popular post ever
4 yrs ago today, a family member managed a truly spectacular own goal, splintered his domestic bliss, & in the process, united the world for a day.
On popular request, I shall now recreate the livetweet thread from that day
So gather around children, for this is the tale of The Rice Truck Saga

20 years of medical pros & family members going "Teehee, pain is just part of being a woman" before finally getting diagnosis and any useful treatment
I get incandescent with rage that so many of us have these stories; I desperately try to keep grace in my heart for those who turn to the Woo path

The extent to which I was completely abandoned with pcos/endo is hard to quantify, and plenty of people tried to sell me WooWoo solutions for pain.
Doctors completely failed me on every front for most of my life, I am sympathetic to not trusting them. It is a hard convo.

Absolutely this. I'd add that many conspiracy movements focused on women's health exist because the medical establishment has completely failed women. I know so many people whose doctors drove them to strange behavior in desperation.
Please hear me when I say that
1) these anti-medical woo birth movements have been a primary feeder into anti-vaxx eugenic movements
2) they pre-date the age of social media
3) they exist because we have not addressed medical sexism and specifically obstetric violence

You do not make fun of people for things like their weight, height, voice, baldness, ancestry, etc.
Even if they are horrible people. That is not a get out of jail free card.
