I can't express how surreal and dismaying it is that whether people like me are allowed to participate in society or not is this huge abstract political issue, while the actual *lives* of people like me have never mattered less We don't matter *so much* our existence is an automatic moral panic

You don't owe anyone an explanation for your bad days. But if it helps, keeping a simple log of how you feel can be really powerful when talking to your doctor. #ChronicIllness #HealthTracking #DoctorVisit

It's what explains why Musk runs roughshod over environmental or consumer-safety laws, and Meta thumbs its nose at corporate-tax laws: experience has taught them to expect no punishment. It's elite impunity in practice: when you're a star, they let you do it.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

Most effective med for my pain is ketamine, "experimental", US$600 per infusion. Still have to "try" a bunch of pointless shit before they'll cover "new meds". Most of why I'm disabled is simply faffing around with shitty side effects cuz I can't access actual effective meds.

I really wish our governments would stop making life harder. I'm more than half dead (EQ-5D-3L) but it's time to - send trans women to men's prisons - kick 160-260,000 people off the NDIS - and take away 1/3 of the remaining NDIS budgets (combined that's the biggest cut in government history)

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

Wessely has repeatedly applied psychological or sociogenic explanations to unexplained illnesses, such as Gulf War illness and the Camelford water poisoning incident. Absence of an explanation doesn’t mean that the illness is psychosomatic or psychological.

tumblr is having a great one about this, little masterpiece of a post I'd say

first post reads: Pro-censorship wattpad refugees drama is so funny to me because when I started using ao3 as a kid I was a devout mormon and I thought that reading anything even remotely pornagraphic was a sin and would ruin my life. So when I was 13 and found ao3 I went "oh awesome I found a fanfic website with a filtering system so I won't ever randomly stumble into porn. This is great! I was really worried about seeing something I didn't want to see on the other platforms." I didn't read any smut online until like three years later. If a mormon 13 year old can figure out 'don't like don't read' wattpad users can too cmon you guys i believe in you.
reblog reads: "you're less internet savy than a 13 year old mormon" is a diabolical thing to say to someone, I support it

The NDIS really is an exercise in forcing disabled people through a marathon of paperwork, doctor's appointments and pointless treatments that won't work (just to prove we tried). At best it's a fight to mutual exhaustion and at worst it is systemic violence against the disabled to generate PR

Dear other queer authors: Sapphic describes the relationship, not a character's identity. If you want to write a story about a woman falling in love with a man but the woman is bisxeual, market it as bisexual with a M/F relationship. Marketting it as sapphic is literally asking to upset readers.
