Hi! My name is Eilidh. I'm an artist, a writer, a student.
I'm also disabled. I struggle with EDS, Chiari, Seizures, R. Arthritis, the list goes on. My car is totaled. I need a new one to do the only job I can keep: UberEats. #disability
Ableist and rude much. Like, I'm reaching out for Occupational and Speech therapy for a reason??

A federal judge just ruled the White House broke the law by pulling down a public site that tracked Congressional spending.

Why’d they yank it?
Because people were catching DOGE making fraudulent claims and inflating “savings” that didn’t exist.

Transparency isn’t optional.

Fun fact. I have ADHD and more then likely Autism. I function... kind of. But the biggest thing is the sensory processing. SO I managed to find this ADORABLE tiny journal. It's really soft and fuzzy, and shaped like a little bear holding a donut.

It'll be my portable Kanien'kéha dictionary.

#Beavers- good environment. They let fish flourish, rehydrate the land and reestablishes nutrients- helping indigenous fauna, watering holes for animals. Where drought kills the land, beavers make it spring back to life. The best thing humans can do is let the wildlife do what it does best- go wild.

It's been 18 years... I'm still processing and working on it. Doesn't help that it isn't one and done. New symptoms, new medical Dxs that pop up make things worse. As soon as you get your head above the water, there's the next wave pushing you down.
When you become chronically ill, you have to grieve the life you had before

You have to work hard at acceptance & letting go of guilt. At leaning into accommodations

You have to learn to rest, to pace and to take care of yourself

This process can be very hard. Give yourself grace. It takes time

I often wonder if clearly defined, singular job roles even exist anymore. More and more, job postings bundle multiple distinct responsibilities into one position—typically to reduce staffing costs, even if it results in unrealistic workload expectations. 1/5

I’m dealing with multiple severe chronic illnesses, including serious heart issues and frequent fainting/loss of consciousness.

Yet most days I feel like supply chain issues will be what kills me.

It’s terrifying to rely on medications & medical supplies during these uncertain times.

Functional depression. That's what they call it. Except it's barely functional. I'm barely functional. I guess I'm on the "there's no point" phase. My depression is a vicious cycle that lingers enough to give hope then rip it away. I don't get cured. I have remission and then reoccurrence. ♻️

Why ask me a question and block my ability to answer? because I was late replying? Not that you care, but I was stuck stranded out of state for 3-4 days with a car that refused to go farther then 40 miles then super sick for the rest of the week . Social Media hurt feeling was NOT my top priority.

My god the urge to just dump everything and run back to NY is so STRONG sometimes. And knowing I can't makes me want to cry. It has nothing to do with politics, either! (though it helps) It's something deeper, like a pull. I can always feel it. Like I'm not home and that's all I want to go to.

I was going to wait on publishing this one but it seems even more relevant now. No human being is illegal.

Hey Justice Department.... it's called HIPAA. It was created to protect ALL medical patients, not just SOME.
transgender people are the core demographic trumpism is targeting as a wedge. if you are unable or unwilling to see this now, by the time they come for you it will be too late

'America' stupidly (and thankfully) allowed you to learn history of other genocides. It helped you become aware of what they, themselves, have been doing since the start.

Since 1492.

You have the information now. You cannot look away.

Never again was never for us.

Change that. Please. (2/2)
