I have work tomorrow. I sometimes have a BIG reaction to bug bites. I’ve had one of these reactions this weekend my left hand is massive mostly around the knuckles. I also had an abscess tooth removed on Friday so my face is swollen. So I’m going to work looking like I’ve been in a fight!

If you're going to call a Disabled person "inspiring", say what they inspired you to do or just skip it.

Ok I’m doing it the cheesy thing people do to try and find people… I wish there was a better way to find people that you connect with on other apps. Where are my #UK #Disable / #ChronicIllness and/Or #Neurodivergent people?! #NEISVoid

Is there a way to use an iPhone app to view the rate of charge a iPhone is charging at? I have multiple cables I’ve muddled up I’m trying to work out which one is the ‘fast charge’ cable. There must be a way to get this data on an iPhone!? #BatteryHealth

I had such a bad night sleep last night I had about 3-4 hours and I can’t function on that little sleep. I was walking around like a drunk first thing this morning because my PoTS was so bad I’ve lost cont of the high HR alerts my watch has given me today! 1/

So I accidentally shot a lot of footage walking around Amsterdam yesterday in #8k resolution… I don’t even think I have anything capable of outputting 8k! Here’s my question: I have a #Mac is there a free way to downgrade the footage to 4k (or possibly lower)? I don’t have #FinalCutPro

IMHO falling over in a bar when you are not drunk is far worse than falling over when you ARE drunk because, everyone thinks you’re drunk! #DisabledSky #Disabled #Blind #hEDS

I worked hard today! I also learned that if all the speakers at a train station are broken there is no way to know if the train that just pulled up is in fact YOUR train IF you are BLIND! 3-4 missed trains later they sent a human to help me. Part of it was my fault 1/

So frustrating hoped to go to Hove at the WE but busses are replacing trains (not a dealbreaker) but the station busses are transferring people to has broken lifts that are out of order! (Yep there it is). Whose idea was that? What if #Disabled people want to travel this weekend?

Wow the artwork and skill that has gone into #AssassinsCreedShadows is incredible and I know because I’m a #BlindGamer I won’t be seeing all the detail (so I used an AI to do the image description).

A scenic view of a lush, mountainous forest landscape during autumn. The terrain features rolling hills covered in dense trees, displaying a mix of green, orange, and brown foliage. A lone figure stands on a prominent tree branch in the foreground, overlooking the expansive valley below. The scene includes a few small clearings and structures scattered among the trees, with visible pathways winding through the forest. The atmosphere is serene, with a soft blue haze in the distance enhancing the depth of the view.

I got a really achy pinky finger because I was separating frozen hot cross bun with my bare hands and my hand slipped and I hit my pinky hard on the palm of my other hand and it bent backwards in multiple places. I probably popped it out of joint or sprained it. #hEDS

One of the first truly horrendous things Trump did on the 2015 campaign trail was mock a disabled reporter. It should've been immediately disqualifying. But because he targeted a disabled person, people didn't get all that bothered. That's how insidious #ableism is.

The language around trump’s Make America Healthy Again plan is eugenicist, and this should concern even those of you who are, for now, considered healthy. What’s done to disabled people will be done to anyone the dominant power structure demonizes. #abandoned #BlueSkyArtShow #photography #ableism

Never take your foot off the neck of abled-bodied people. I’m tired of hearing just wait for them to become disabled to finally understand the way they're treating us is not heroic but harmful. Go in on them today. #DisabilitySky #Ableism

I feel old The Sims is 25 years old today! I was 11 when it came out I still have a copy of Sims 4 on my Xbox! Although I hate using a controller to play it - partly because it just feels wrong partly because the interface is really irritating with a controller!
