If it were flipped and men made up 80% of chronic illnesses, instead of women, we’d have a lot more cures and support systems by now 🫠

Coming out is mostly a formality that exists for straight people who assume being straight is the default. Queer people don’t need to ‘announce’ their identity for it to be valid—just existing as themselves is enough.

From an autoimmune girlie, I really need people to try to understand that treatment & medication does not equal curing the condition.

Apparently a bunch of straight men are now shaving off their eyelashes to appear less “feminine” 💀

An apple a day won’t keep the doctor away. But a complex chronic illness sure will.

Texas layed off all Department of Education employees in Dallas AND introduced a bill that will make evictions easier. So they can lay you off and make it easier to kick you out of your home. I HATE IT HERE.

Do I think doctors have all the answers? No. Do I think people with no medical training should be coaching people on their health? Absolutely not.

The idea that you can “cleanse” yourself of any disease or ailments and be renewed is based in evangelical principles and fascism btw and is also abelsit af

a quote from pedro pascal that reads: 
"i can't think of anything more vile and small and pathetic than terrorising the smallest, most vulnerable community of people who want nothing from you but the right to exist".

I hate that society would rather talk about how chronic illness effects women’s physical appearance instead of focusing on the fact that someone is suffering. Makes me sick.

Can we finally learn the lesson of not commenting on people’s appearance?? Michelle Trachtenberg was going through a liver transplant and people were leaving her horrible comments about her appearance and claiming she was on drugs. Now she’s no longer with us.

While we’re having mental health conversations, let’s stop using lobotomies as quirky little jokes. Lobotomies were used to torture minorities and the sick and disabled. It’s not a punchline for your social media post. If you don’t know the history, please educate yourself.

This simple phrase can save your life when a doctor is refusing care. “I want you to note that down in my chart.” They’ll often backtrack bc once refusal of care/ testing is notated it becomes a legal liability for them.

Some dude bro told me I’m a liar and don’t have adhd so I asked if they wanted my doctor’s number so they could call and tell them since he’s the expert apparently 🤣

America has one of the highest rates of chronically ill women in the world. Something needs to change.

My dmv worker ended up being neurodivergent and it was such a different and pleasant experience that I now want neurodivergents to take over our government. We would get stuff DONE 👏

My heart is with anyone with an autoimmune or chronic condition who is being exposed to unsafe air right now due to the wildfires as well as those who will undoubtedly end up with autoimmune conditions. Climate change IS a health issue.

Anytime I mention my gastro issues these days people are like “you have norovirus”. Like nah fam unless I’ve had norovirus since the age of 8 these issues are unfortunately chronic 😅

Can we talk about how disability is basically impossible to get as a young person in this country and doesn’t pay out a living wage anyways? 🙃

Thinking about all the people who are about to have to enter the job market bc of TikTok’s ban which will then flood the already super saturated pool of digital marketing candidates. Hold me I’m scared!!!

Another scary thing I’m hearing about norovirus is that we are currently in an IV shortage and this virus will severely dehydrate you. Meaning if you get it, you likely won’t be able to get the fluids you need. Mask and wash your hands, this is important!

When arguing with randos on the internet I really need to remember that most people in this country have a 6th grade reading comprehension level or below. And I had a post college reading level in *checks notes* the 7th grade 😅

One of my biggest wins this year? Not buying clothing that I don’t find sensory friendly. It can be the cutest thing in the world but if it’s not comfy or for a special occasion it will just sit in my closet.

I like when people tell me, an autistic person, I’m not qualified to speak on autism bc I don’t have a medical degree when they in fact aren’t autistic and also don’t have a medical degree 😂😂

They would never admit it but I’ve had partners that HATED that I was autistic. It’s nice to now be in a place of unconditional love and acceptance, it makes all the difference in the world 🥹

Tired of neurotypicals acting like us neurodivergents are just stubborn and refuse to change the way we speak. For the last time WE HAVE A DISABILITY!!! It’s not a want issue. It’s an ability issue.

Why is it always “neurodivergents need to assimilate to neurotypical speech to make them more comfortable” and never “neurotypicals need to stop policing how neurodivergent people speak and assigning malice?” 🤔
