I wasn’t considered for ADHD diagnosis for this reason. I had to pursue it myself.

during my second ADHD evaluation, when asked about school and college, here’s the coping mechanisms I listed: •putting everything in 1 folder or I’d lose it

It’s called the “Protections of Medical Conscience Act”. It lets healthcare providers to deny service on the basis of “a conscience-based objection,” including any ethical, moral, or religious beliefs.

If you agree with this bill, you shouldn’t be in healthcare. A lot of people say “boycott Florida” or “they just need to just leave”. But even if we could somehow move every queer person from Florida to somewhere safe for them, queer people are born everywhere, all the time. This is not a solution. It’s “let’s ignore it in that place.”

Imagine that you'd never seen the color red before.

a thread on demisexuality for #InternationalAsexualityDay #IAD2023 🧵 Everyone sees colors slightly differently because everyone has different eyes. For you, though, there's something very different that you can't quite put your finger on. And that's the color red.

Everyone around you loves the color red. But you don't get it. 🧵
