You have to understand when disabled people appear to be “overreacting” it’s because we’re constantly living in trauma. The physical and mental trauma of pain, fatigue, etc. The trauma enacted on us by the violent capitalist hellscape of society. AND the trauma of being dismissed If I had a small coin for every leftist who decided disabled people don’t matter because many of us can’t work

Hey @JortsTheCat the reason many disabled people are calling you out is BECAUSE we love you. Please PLEASE take the time to listen and learn from people who love you but whom you have unintentionally hurt. I beg of you. People have said it better & more comprehensively @JortsTheCat but TL;DR:

- grocery delivery IS a service

- workers are treated like shit by bosses & capitalist society

- disabled people are ALSO treated like shit by capitalist society

- please don’t join in on that!

Hey folks. So I was thinking back to some things and found myself wondering:

As a teen I gained a nickname “[oldname]pedia” like Wikipedia bc I knew the answers to things. I took it as a compliment. Was it, though? I was at the time going through some bullying that was too obvious even for me to miss, so I’m wondering if this was another lot i missed lol

People are dying, Kim Seriously, wasting food staples in the middle of a Tory-led austerity crisis is a really fucking awful look and it makes me think that most of these organisations are actually plants trying to give climate activism a bad name

Uh

I’m not in any way downplaying MECFS here but like

There is also chronic fatigue that is unrelated to ME, and no you can’t “nap it off”. No.

You’re talking about tiredness. Tiredness is not the same as fatigue. Fatigue can be debilitating even if it’s not ME

As someone whose parents told them this exact thing, I can tell you right now that all your protestations of love won’t make the tiniest iota of difference to the deep, wrenching hurt and betrayal your child would feel if you went through with this. Love isn’t something you can SAY but not DO. You can SAY you love someone all you want, but if your deliberate, planned actions alienate and hurt them because of who they are, that’s not love.

Me, trying to think of the word for a bra that is not underwired: wireless bra

Me: wait Technology has come so far from when our boobs were dial-up

Corsets/corset tops with proper boning (stop giggling) are a miracle and I think we should wear them instead of underwired bras

At least if you are of a larger build and bust size, a nice properly sized corset is SO MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE than a bra holy shit Also they’re sexy as fuck

Already noticing big differences in Cam since they started HRT. They’re so much more relaxed and happy in themself, their skin and hair are already looking incredible tbh, it’s beautiful to see. They’re 48. I know some people who didn’t start until their late 60s. GO FOR IT Another thing (I asked if I could talk about this & they said yes) is that since starting HRT they seem more comfy in themself to dress whatever way they want/need. This is complex to explain but before HRT it was very important to them to “dress like a girl” whenever they could

Jesus Christ “munchies” is not a self-identification the way “spoonie” is; it’s a sneering, derogatory term used AT US by people who think we’re faking It’s short for Munchausens and we DO NOT USE IT FOR OURSELVES it is a cruel and hateful nickname given to sick and disabled people by those who dismiss our physical illnesses as psychological nonsense

Again I find it extremely “interesting” that barely two weeks after JKR made disabled people—SPECIFICALLY spoonies, people with POTS, ME/CFS, fibro, allodynia, etc—the villains of her new book, we have already been subjected to multiple horrifying articles about chronic illness Because this is what she does:

She villainises people from an already marginalised group (trans people, sick people) and her attacks on that group declare open season on them. Because she is famous, her opinions being platformed LEGITIMISES them and emboldens others to attack

Salted caramel sauce is made and (literally) chilling in a jug

Apples have been stewed with cloves, honey, cardamom, & a bit of cinnamon + nutmeg

Gluten free crumble topping has been prepared

The crumble is now assembled & in the oven …

Fingers crossed it turns out well I am still new to gluten free baking so every new recipe is a bit of a gamble tbh

Omgggg I hate “what’s your favourite [X]” questions because instantly my brain goes “[X]??? I’ve never heard of an [X] in my entire life!” And the situationally dependent thing too. “What’s your favourite tea?” I mean what does “favourite” mean in this context? My go-to basic is Yorkshire Red; my fave in autumn is masala chai; I also adore cardamom chai, lavender Earl Grey, any tea with chocolate flavour, & hibiscus

Ok here's why I'm angry about JKR's dragging disabled social media users into her new trashpile, er I mean novel.
Remember this is someone who touts herself as a Feminist! That's why she hates trans people, right? Supposedly she cares so much about "(cis) women and girls" Well let's take a look at the chronic illnesses mentioned in describing Kea Niven (who is CLEARLY not meant to be a sympathetic character to readers)

C(hronic) F(atigue), fibromyalgia, P(ostural) O(rthostatic) T(achycardia) S(yndrome), allodynia

Bladders are ridiculous I don’t know if I’ve been tired and sick because I have a UTI or if I have a UTI because I’ve been tired and sick but either way

Zero fucking stars
