Most people will go their whole life without meeting an angry bear who also knows karate. I hope you are among them, friend.

I love Nature & Wildlife Photography. ❤️ I love looking at your photos, and taking and posting my own photos. My health problems keep me very limited, but I have a cool yard with great photo opportunities, if I can just get outside with my camera. I haven’t been able to do that for over a year. 😔📷

Disability can be incredibly lonely, and I often wish sometimes that I had someone, but then I remember that someone else's ableism is really hard to manage, and I'm okay on my own. It's okay to choose yourself as a disabled person.

I woke up and looked out the window to greet the day. (Yes, it’s past noon, I have sleep disorders 🥴). Saw a Robin having a soak in the birdbath, and a Squirrel doing parkour on trees & stumps. I love that my yard is full of critters doing critter stuff. They’re part of my housebound entertainment.

Post you from a different era in your life. Around 15 years ago. - Up in the air as a passenger on a powered paraflite ride. Loved it! - At my favorite beach on Lake Michigan. That was the last time I was there.

Me with a helmet and sunglasses on and a smile in my face, because I was so happy to be flying up in the air as a passenger in a powered paraflite ride.

Me sitting on the beach with sunglasses on. With the sandy beach, Lake Michigan, and the sky in the background.

One thing anyone can do in solidarity with people with Severe ME is to help bring us into the public consciousness by checking out and sharing the Sundance-premiered, Oscar-shortlisted doc UNREST, free on YT. A love story and rare glimpse at people so ill with ME that you’ll never see us in public.

I’ve had ME/CFS for decades. I’ve NEVER met another person in real life with ME/CFS. I live my life as the only one with ME/CFS in ALL of my real life interactions. That’s been hard. I only know so much about other #pwme because of the internet. Is it common for you to be the only one IRL too?

When disability happens to you, you won’t be able to just “try harder”. The social supports you think magically appear? They won’t show up. The medical system will let you down. Friends & family will abandon you. You will realize disability advocates were right all along.

I’ve been yelling at my robot vacuum a lot lately. He (Steve McClean) seems to get confused more often now when attempting to adapt to furniture rearrangements and map changes. I live alone and keep yelling out, “WTF Steve?! Get your sh*t together!”. That’s probably confusing to the neighbors.

Disability is not a vacation. It’s a 24/7 job You’re forced into legislated poverty You have to endure ableism, abandonment and constant gaslighting You live with pain & suffering that would send most folks to the hospital. You fight for medical care, social supports & dignity. It’s not easy.

It’s been so long since I’ve been able to remember the feeling of being alive, free, and hopeful in a healthier body. It was a lighter feeling than chronically ill life is now. The smell of today’s fresh spring air kept briefly taking me back to better springtimes from my past, and it felt SO nice.

Powerful testimony on #MECFS by Emma Shorter in the Scottish Parliament from 2018 “It turns fit and active people into ghosts… I know teachers who can’t teach, children who can’t play, and parents who can no longer hold their children.”

I’m left-handed, but I can only snap my fingers on my right hand. This confuses me. I feel like since I have better fine motor control with my left hand, it should not be the Dud in this finger snapping situation.

I wish more people understood the terror disabled people face when dealing with housing insecurity, poverty and unsafe caregivers. Many in the community are forced to rely on abusive people for survival. It shouldn’t be this way. We desperately need more support & resources.

The endless exhaustion and frustration of having to explain #ME and PEM to health professionals who are not convinced is heartbreaking and aggravating beyond belief. They should know, they should be disturbed and interested enough to get themselves informed and then help us. Act please!

Everything outside is white (covered in snow) and frozen. Cabin fever often kicks in mid-February, but I’m keeping in mind the little treasures I’ll find out in my yard starting in Spring… when I emerge from Hibernation and go outside with my camera. 😊 #ChronicIllness #Disability #NaturePhotography
