How is this even a thing? And I used more of it this time because I had an infection, which makes your blood sugar go up. We live in a nightmare country right now. They really don’t care if we don’t make it to see another day.

I have so much hatred for my insurance company not covering my short acting insulin refill until tomorrow. Like somebody who’s diabetic can just go without their insulin…

It is the last day of #DisabilityPride2025 and I came here to say let’s please keep speaking loudly and proudly because #DisabilityJustice is critical for our survival. We must keep organizing together to protect our communities and stop the eradication of us by the actions of camp maga.

I realized today that I have been in the hospital at least once, but usually it’s been more than once, every month so far during 2025. πŸ˜‘ #ChronicIllness #ChronicPain

I have never been so utterly exhausted and I definitely have zero spoons. I’m begging and also grateful for any amount of sleep and any amount of pain relief gifted to me.

I cannot begin to describe the relief I feel knowing I was able to get up this morning at 7am and take a muscle relaxer, pain medication, and my cannabis tincture then crawl back into bed, knowing I don’t have to meet the demands of any commitments or people today-I can just lay here for a while.

Happy May Day International Workers of the World Day. We fight the capitalist fascist war mongering machine.Today represents liberation for the exploited. We must fight against the regime that seeks to silence and harm us. #Resist #Antifascist #DEIForever #DisabilityRebellion

IT'S NOT A SUICIDE HOTLINE FOR AMERICANS AS FAR AS I CAN TELL.

Your friend here who sometimes remembers to fact-check looked up this number lots of you are sharing with this post, and found ""Trans hotline. Trans Lifeline Hotline provides peer support and resources for trans and gender-diverse people. Call: 1-877-330-6366. Youth and young adult helpline. Kids Help Phone is a 24/7 helpline available to anyone in Canada aged 5 to 29 who wants confidential and anonymous care..." Which is great, but not a suicide hotline for Americans, so far as I can tell.

Another friend writes, "I confirmed that HHS (such as it is) DOES plan to eliminate services for LGBTQ youth who call the suicide hotline, planning to do this in October (not the whole suicide hotline). What I can NOT confirm is that Canada has made a special phone line available to the U.S. It seems that this is not true; or, at least, that the number in the post being shared is incorrect. The number given in the post being shared is already established as a Trans Lifeline in Canada. They are not staffed to take on all U.S. LGBTQ needs, and their system is likely not built to withstand heavy usage. That's why it's important to confirm; we don't want to crash a crucial service to Canadian Trans people. (And you're right, if a caller does not identify as LGBTQ, no one could "spot" them, but, if their needs center on their sexual orientation or presentation, they would not be able to discuss that.)"

Please don't share this without the comments, because it appears to be wrong. And I deleted my original post because yeah, lots of you WERE sharing it without these comments noting that it's wrong. And then I had to edit the first screenshot so the number wouldn't get shared again. .

There is not an a dedicated hotline yet coming from Canada for United States people to call for suicide. The number being shared is for Trans support. Let’s not cause a problem for that and let’s please fact check things.

kinda worried abt how intentional/earnest fascist actions are being painted as "cognitive decline"

the shitheads who wrote project 2025 aren't in "cognitive decline", & that's the playbook this administration is following

it's disturbing how even leftists are attributing this to assumed disability

It’s an ideology with a play book already mapped out proven to inflict mass harm and fully underway in the United States. It’s so disgusting that people shift these things into ableist bs and act like oh it has to be people suffering mental health. Wrong, it’s people who are hateful wanting to harm

If you want to learn about the links between genocide, eugenics, and disability, I think the open access book "The First Into the Dark" is a good place to start.

No appointments were available till today and in Maryland they can’t just send scripts. I finally got refills today. I finally feel some relief. These barriers to care are unacceptable and harmful to patients. My doctor felt so bad for me. I thought of Jim this can’t happen again. Ever.

My pain medication prescriptions ended 5 days before my scheduled follow up with my pain management doctor. When I tell you I’ve experienced hell in a true form I’ve been in the most pain enduring the most trauma.
