For #WorldMentalHealthDay I want to see more discussions around how systems of oppression - like racism - continue to harm folks.

We know the statistics for the LGBTQIA2S+ community are tough, too, esp for youth.

[ Little discussion ]

Hard agree.

I experience a lot of Little-ness when my POTS or other conditions are acting up. If I'm honest, a part of me is always Little - it just adjusts due to all the factors.

I shouldn't have to avoid certain spaces because of this.

I've learned more since writing this and should write an update tbh.

[ more on Little life and illness/disability ]

I decided to lean into what it would look like to embrace my Little side more instead of shame it.

It's made a huge difference in how often I enter Little mode in ways I described above.

When I started @ChronicSexChat six years ago, I could have never imagined where my life would lead because of that decision.

I've been spending the little extra time I have lately making some much-needed updates to the site.
New content is coming, including info on bias, better organized info, and some fun new ideas.

I still need to make some tweaks, but here's one example.

Another example?

This new page on ableism.

This is part of it.

The other part is that folks think someone who did something evil must be inherently evil, that they are monsters.

In reality, the lack of nuanced discussion of how evil acts and operates in the world is tied to othering which is tied to white supremacy.
As @OkkervilRiver said,

Now, with all these cameras focused on my face
You'd think they could see it through my skin
They're looking for evil, thinking they can trace it, but
Evil don't look like anything
Evil don't look like anything

PS: this was the first song that I learned on my ukulele that wasn't in a random uke song book.

1) The song itself is *chef's kiss*
2) The lyrics? 🔥
3) Okkervil River songs like this are so perfect for harmonizing

Here's the only thing I don't get here...

Why are we separating HCPs and patients? Why aren't patients getting access to the Friday sessions with their registration?

What's up with that?

Why has @UofUNeurology assumed patients with #POTS may not also be providers or otherwise involved in healthcare?

Or seemingly taken into account that we often have to help others get diagnoses and, therefore, should be getting this same info?
Why don't I get access to sessions like "Headache, Chronic Pain, and Joint Hypermobility in Dysautonomia" but instead get "Non-Pharmacological and Lifestyle Treatment Approaches for Dysautonomia" when patients are already gaslit with that enough?

1. At one point, he says just hosting:

“I think it should not be allowed for a sporting event to host in a country that criminalizes against basic human rights,” Daley said. “So, that is going to be my mission now to change that.”
2. But he also said this:

“I think it’s really important to try and create change, rather than just highlighting or shining a light on those things... make it so that the countries [where it's] punishable by death for LGBT people are not allowed to compete at the Olympic Games.”
