Hesitant to chime in because the issue is related but not the same. You'd be surprised how many disabled pwME are actually the ones doing the grant- and paper-writing, though their names never appear on anything. I have very mixed feelings on this.

And yet, no mention of a mass- disabling event in the last 6 years? Weird.

They really saw people just becoming more accepting of disabilities of others and thise people not being sufficiently miserable in navigating life with those disabilities and decided it was a problem.

Those of us in the ME/CFS community have watched this movement building for years now. In addition to pushing [more] ableist eugenics into the mainstream, it seems like a fairly intentional effort to avoid paying disability supports for chronic illness.

It’s time to add a work requirement to anyone in Congress. In fact, any restriction that they want to enact against the public should be added to their requirements. You want to drug test people getting aide, then they all have to be drug tested.

At $450 so far, with $700 rent needed before 11AM tomorrow. 22 HOUR DEADLINE. Also need $500 between storage, groceries, and laundry ASAP. #PleaseShare, and chip in if possible? Rent is top priority, but all are survival essentials! #MutualAidRequest #DisabilityCrowdFund #KeepFolksAlive

Thank you, Heather! I’m going to be okay (financially,) eventually. Everything takes time to settle when there are multiple people deceased in a family. My parents did set things aside for me and my brother. I don’t want people to choose me over others in the community who have less support.

There is always this make-believe that nothing can be done to billionaires, spread of course by the billionaires themselves. But actually it is the billionaires themselves that can't do anything if the Government attacks them.

Thank you, Heather! The sudden loss of both my parents within 4 months is proving to be a level of grief difficult to bear. My health issues continue to interfere with the responsibilities and rituals of passing that my sibling and I find ourselves dealing with. It’s a lot.

I designed my life around chronic illness and took control back:

Every room has water, chargers, and heat pads.

I keep duplicates of everything to avoid searching.

I lowered shelves and raised seating.

I plan recovery days after events.

I prep food I can eat lying down.

I build joy rituals into every routine.

If you find this work valuable, and are able to donate, I hope you will. If you've already donated or can't right now, but this work is meaningful to you, a personal request from a friend is many times more likely to end in a donation than a repost. ❤️ I'll be reaching out to friends & family too.

Our Emergency Department fundraising is on fire! Note: in order to make the best use of our $15k match, we need to raise $15k from other donors. We're so close! Can you get us a little closer? millionsmissing.funraise.org/fundraiser/m...
Emergency Department Guidelines
We're 75% of the way there, thanks to you!
...and we still have 25% to go!
On the right is a donut chart showing 75% of funds have been raised, with 25% to go.
Underneath is a stacked bar graph, showing the proportion of the grant paid for by Whittemore Peterson, the 15k match, the amount of donations we've received that aren't the grant or the match, how much longer we have to go until we've raised all $15k of the $15k match, and a chonk we still need to raise.

She hadn’t been able to sleep for a year due to pain. She couldn’t sit down without excruciating pain. Treatment was for her to do more physical therapy or try OTCs or some medication. Her requests to get MRIs were all denied & dismissed. They had her try acupuncture. She had cancer “everywhere.”

My mother followed my father 4 months and 3 1/2 days later. She had been asking her doctors to run tests, order MRIs, etc. for months to years in some cases. They kept prescribing her physical therapy and either NSAIDS that her body could no longer tolerate or mild pain management.

It was in her bones, her spine, even her heart. She was “riddled with it.” Her new PCP knew as soon as the results of her initial bloodwork came in. This doctor sent her directly to the ER. There, she finally had scans she had been asking to have done for years. My mother passed 9 days later.

The idea that poor people don't deserve to have good, nutritious, and delicious food is pure classism and is a desire to deprive every last opportunity for joy from the lives of people struggling to get by.

The first book I picked up has no page numbers. So I counted to page 42. There’s no second sentence. The next three closest books are journals I haven’t used yet. About to check the bottom of closest stack, below two unused journals. Feel that this apparent emptiness is its own clue.
