  1. Ah nuts. Guess who has four paws and forgot her heart meds last night?

    Yup, @QueenieDeerhart. Totally her fault!

    See, it might be MY handle on #eloton, but it’s totally her picture… right?

  3. The biggest problem for those with invisible disabilities is not to be believed. And because we aren't #believed, we aren't #trusted either.

    This applies to all ND people, but also those with physical, but invisible, conditions, such as #MS, etc.

  4. I'm so tired of being tired. I've been on antibiotics for a week, and the interplay between them and my IBS has me feeling like I'm thinking and moving through mud. I hope I get some energy soon. #ChronicIllness #InvisibleDisabilities #exhaustion #IBS

  5. Some days are harder than others, and none of them are easy. I try not to mourn who I was, nor hate who I've become. Today was harder, hate was easy, the mourning as sure as sunrise. When the last comes there will be no rest, no glorious meeting. Just an end with no credits and a 5% on the Tomatometer.

    "Akin to the ideal victim, the ideal claimant of hidden disability must navigate a system built by (and from the perspective of) those with specific preconceived notions of what it means to be a person with a disability and to present as one."

  7. Well, figured out what's going on with my neck/shoulder/arm. I've been diagnosed as being in the early stages of frozen shoulder. Apparently, menopausal folks are more prone to it for unknown reasons. Yay?

    So I have about a year and a half until this issue goes away, and it will get worse before it gets better. The good news is that when that awful pain happens, I'm not causing myself damage. Apparently, a cortisone shot early on will help prevent some of that pain. So will continuing to exercise regularly, although I will have to avoid exercises which bring on the pain (which is sudden and intense). Massages will also help, because the surrounding muscles will lock up from that pain.

    Looks like I have a rocky road ahead of me.

  8. Thinking of Lois Curtis today and remembering her resilience and determination. She is deserving of every person's respect. If you don't know who she is, take some time to discover.

  9. If you're disabled, and you only consider and accommodate people with your particular disability, you might be an ablest... Strike that, you are! I'm not always Pollyanna, sometimes I'm Oscar the grouch. Please don't take the lid off my can.

  10. A few years ago, I developed Achilles tendonopathy. It manifested as a feeling like I had a bad blister on the back of my heels, only there was no blister. Everything looked normal. But it took me a year of daily physio and not being able to jump or move faster than a slow walk before the pain went away.

    It's started to feel like that again recently, and I have no idea what could have caused it.

    When I had it before, it was an overtraining injury. I was practicing Thai kickboxing several times a week. It has a LOT of hopping. And our warmups were lots of rope jumping. Double-unders and such. I loved kickboxing until my tendons wouldn't let me do it anymore.

    This time, I haven't been running. I haven't been jumping. I am not overtraining at all. No idea what is causing it. I really hope it isn't returning, because the pain was often excruciating.

    I'm going to a physiotherapist tomorrow. It's for something else, but hopefully they can check out my Achilles tendons and help me figure out what's going on.

    My body sure loves trolling me. And I sure do miss martial arts.

  16. People with Disabilities and Extreme Heat
    "Deaths of People with Disabilities Surge in Spain, As Does the Heat" – Human Rights Watch

    People with physical and invisible disabilities are affected by heat in many different ways. Extreme heat in Spain, has taken the lives of approximately 1200 people since mid-July. The number of which are disabled, is unclear, but during the 2021 "heat dome" in British Columbia, Canada, 91% of those who died were disabled or chronically ill. I know heat certainly affects me. How does it affect you in relation to your disabilities?

    The "Human Rights Watch" article linked below, reports on "the serious physical and mental health consequences heat has for people with disabilities". During their study of disabled residents of Andalusia, they found issues including: "gaps in public responses to protect the disabled... A lack of outreach services… and lack of data" about people with disabilities.

    The "HRW" also cites a "LACK OF PARTICIPATION OF PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES IN SHAPING RESPONSES". People's hesitance to share disability related info for statistics is understandable, but advocacy and activism from the community is a key part in bringing change. Stand up, speak out and unite for disability rights and climate change. #DisabilitySolidarity

  17. 其实我觉得隐形障碍就很不公平,这种精神或者说是神经系统的障碍……除了说已经严重到了智力障碍或者乃至仿佛听障还是不讲话不发声到类似哑了,才会获得他人的注意和被介入去医学干涉还是社会援助等等的。

    而且说需要获得临床医学诊断书才能获得援助也很扯谈,比如那种显性的残疾,i.e. 视障听障、智障(这里不是骂人)、缺胳膊断腿,截肢,跛脚,肢体残疾等等的,就因为是可视化可见的缺陷,甚至都不需要获得诊断书就能理所当然地获得理解和帮助。

    而我们看似健全的身体,实际上完完全全神经发育还有脑部构造不一样,亦或者是有些事创伤造成的精神障碍,就无法被别人看见还是尊重。

    反而会被用极其难听的语言侮辱——“你是不是智障听不懂人话”“究竟要我说几遍”“你是故意装作听不见来气我的对吗”“为什么讲话这么奇怪学不会说话吗”“读不懂空气真的非常没有礼貌”…

    Empire of Normality
    Neurodiversity and Capitalism
    by Robert Chapman

    This is a priority read for me!

    I’m looking forward to how Chapman explains the emergence and rise of the pathology paradigm and its entanglement with the fundamental logic of capitalism. Specifically how the medical and scientific definitions of illness, disability, and normality have grown in response to economic and ideological developments.
