Spoon Saving Social Media Tips and How to Resist Online The current political landscape is having a devastating impact on the health of those within the disability community. A look at how we can save spoons and leverage our unique powers to resist.

It’s been a heck of a week.

The “flooding the zone” strategy is damaging to nervous systems. It’s ok if you’re exhausted, you have a right to be.

Many of us with chronic illness use social media as our main connection with the world.

We use it to combat the isolation.

But it can come at a cost:

I haven't made any progress yet. I know all it takes is being seen by one person who wants to help, so I'm not giving up.

I am going to be resting in advance of a home blood draw scheduled by a medical mutual aid group for the tenth. I will be less active.

I feel this way too. We need connection but have a limited capacity & need to connect in ways others don’t understand or respect. So they leave us. Cycle continues. it’s a terrible place to be…. I’m so sorry.

Bex needs $4,100 as soon as possible for rent, life saving radiation treatment that is WORKING on their cancer but paused until payment, and food.

Can we do this for them? Share and donate a bit if you can 💛💫 everything adds up!

You’re worthy just as you are.

The disability community needs your solidarity to fight the tariff threat to prescription drugs.

Trump claims he will reduce drug prices by 1000%... which is mathematically impossible.

He's putting a 100% tariff on drugs made outside the US. That IS mathematically possible & it will devastate us.

Utah friends!

Join me Tuesday 9/30 at University of Utah's Marriott Library. I'll talk about book banning, being a preacher's kid whose books are banned & "The Power of Story to Unite US."

There will be time for schmoozing afterward. I'm happy to sign any books that you bring from home! 📚♥️🇺🇸

Getting more of my care transferred back to the U (my Lynch Syndrome specialist is at Holden Cancer Center) after that biopsy result + gotta pay off the biopsy!

If you’re struggling with Long Covid, MCAS, POTS or other energy limiting chronic illness… I’ve put together a series of guides to try and help.

These conditions are poorly understood and more often than not we end up learning from our fellow patients.

Mega 🧵 of resources

If I could get non-autistic people to understand one thing, it wouldn't be that I have support needs. It would be that YOU have support needs.

Disability accommodation represents a failure to plan and build accessible infrastructure —work structures, public spaces, events.

We force people thru appts, paperwork, mtgs w their boss and HR…bc of structural failures. The work of being included too often falls to individual disabled people.
