Queer disabled quilter. She/her. Free Palestine. Neurodivergent? Queer? Joint pain? Go and read up on Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. Yes, even if you're not all that flexible these days. Even if it's not you, it's probably some of your friends.

We had takeout earlier because we're both utterly wiped, and it's entirely possibly that as well as my insulin requirements being a bit all over the place right now, I simply underestimated the carbs. I just hope I don't have another hypo in the night.

Would you fuck a trans...
that's a stupid question. Unless you're a trans person asking if I'd like to fuck YOU personally.
Here's why
I'm OK, the fantastic paramedic reckons it's muscular. Probably set off by having a nasty hypo on Saturday and being crashy since. I've got a list of things to look out for, a printout of my ECG (long QT again, gah), I'll go to hospital if it gets worrying, and call my GP tomorrow.

ABK: All comedy is subjective. I wish it were true that "punching down isn't comedy, it's bullying", but it's clearly very funny to the bully. We should be honest that the reason we don't like it is an ethical reason.
Seems like a good moment to mention this book, which I'm told is excellent! I recommended it to a friend, who loved it.

Don't grill someone on why they don't want it, either.
- comment on their special diet
- try to convert them to your special diet
- comment on what medication they need to eat
- give them incorrect info about what's in the food, which can be life or death to some of us
God, I'm glad I didn't become diabetic until after I was estranged from my family.
Nah, I've never known a situation where those comments are acceptable.

She works as an interpreter, incidentally. I'm trying to remember whether she identifies as disabled due to other medical conditions. It's all complex, and the language options are often inadequate.
