I hope everybody is doing okayish. Today is a bad pain day for me. Pencil us in for #SpoonieChat next week, @ 8PM ET / 5PM PT. Please take very good care. #Disability #DisCo

My Godfather was a priest and his wife a young pediatrician at the height of polio. He said he always knew it was polio by the way he could hear the mother screaming down the street. He also pointed out the public health complex in town where all the iron lungs used to be.

Y’all. Wear your fucking masks. Taking a shower after a full day of work, making a slow cooker pot roast, and making the bed has me just fucking done. Joanna has had a bloody nose for days. We are TIRED.

Can tell how much BlueSky has grown by how many posts come up when I search "migraine." I used to be able to scroll a couple day's worth in minutes. Now, I'm lucky to get thru an hour's worth. Depressing AF to know how many of us there are out there. I hope they find #MigraineChat if they want to.

I know a lot of my followers are chronically ill or low on spoons - so I’m sharing this awesome initiative Bluesky has to ensure every photo/video has alt text There are volunteers who will alt text for you if you’re unable! Just use Alt4Me and someone will come help. True community approach 😊

Trying to rebuild my #NEISvoid and #ChronicIllness communities here! This starter pack looks helpful for anyone else trying to do the same: go.bsky.app/GcGzAae

"You're *still* going on about masking?" the ableds say. Just like they said "you're *still* going on about your pain?" "You're *still* having symptoms?" "You're *still* using a cane?" "You're *still* not working?" "You're *still* taking that medication?" "You're *still* not better?"

Follow Dawn! #SpoonieChat was the inspiration for #MigraineChat and it wouldn’t be what it is without her community as a model. If #migraine isn’t specifically your thing, but another chronic illness/disability is, her community is incredibly welcoming. Let’s help it grow!

The #MigraineChat feed doesn't seem to be grabbing every post and I don't know why. It shouldn't be case sensitive or even require the #, but alas. You can still check it the old fashioned way. Click the hashtag, then latest, and see posts in chronological order. Hoping this is just a temp bug.

This Question Mark Butterfly stopped by my yard last year. I'd never seen one like this before and mistook it for a leaf at first, just like their cammo intended.
