  1. What I learned today: Mobility Aid at airports isn't just for people with physical/visible mobility issues, but also for people whose brains like to glitch out, causing them to go to the wrong gate, or confuse boarding time and departure time - my brain has managed to do both, causing me to miss connection flights. Especially if you have a Sunflower Lanyard, you can easily request their help. You can use the seats marked priority, and join the priority group for boarding.

  2. On airport assistance generally. I get reminded that I must look young and fit. This time it was a flight attendant assuming I was travelling with someone older sat on the other side of the aisle. After I said I was travelling alone she realised I was waiting for assistance. It's not the first time this has happened. Also, last time in Manchester I was asked several times if i could walk the rest of the way.

  3. My last three days have sucked. Big pain days due to a dislocated rib, and I can't get to physio for another two weeks. I think I coaxed the rib back into place, but the muscles on my shoulder and neck are freaking out now. Why do bodies do this shit? #InvisibleDisability #ChronicPain

  4. It seems one of my ribs has popped out of joint today. Oh joy. Don't mind me. I'm just rolling my bones up and down sharp corners, kinda like a mare in oestrus grinds up against fence posts. #InvisibleDisability

  5. Ich bin zwar glücklicherweise nicht von Long Covid betroffen, aber die Auswirkungen eines autistischen Burnouts und die von ME/CFS können in der Symptomatik (Erschöpfung/geringe Belastbarkeit) ähnlich sein.

    Ich habe daher diesen Fragebogen für eine erste Selbsteinschätzung sehr hilfreich gefunden:

  6. An incredibly important read on inclusive workplace design

    "Inclusivity begins with the basics of workplace design. (...) Before you talk about “next-gen workplace experience,” ask yourself: can everyone see, hear, move, breathe and focus here without struggle?"

  7. Today is International day of persons with disabilities. Let's remember that not all disabilities are visible. #disability #notalldisabilitiesarevisible #invisibledisability

  8. #MS is an #invisibledisability. This means it's there, and it's real, but because it isn't clearly visible, people don't believe it's really there, or that we're 'putting it on'!

    Believe me, it's REAL. And INVISIBLE too. 😢

  9. If your Autistic child, friend, partner, family member, etc seems "dramatic" due to their routine being disrupted, they're not. It is truly world breaking for them when it happens. It feels awful. And it isn't their fault. Have patience, and take it a step at a time.

    "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."

  11. #BrainFog is excellent practice in being present and non-attachment.

    I have to watch thoughts, no, fragments of thoughts come and go, knowing fully well that when I attempt to catch them, they shatter ever more from the touch of my mind.

    So I let them go. Let them be. I ask not what more they can become.

    I watch them as I would spider’s silk float by in the wind. I admire their beauty. I grieve the loss. I savour the memory, or what memory remains.

  12. CW: Intense description of MS/CFS anxiety attack symptoms

    Lost function past two days. No idea if flare-up of #MEcfs or onset of #longCOVID. Had to evacuate chair and return to bed for first time in months.

    Only discovered research on mitochondrial dysfunction recently. Secretly suspected as much for a while.

    Had full body #anxiety attacks again. Realised for first time it feels just like asphyxiating… but for ATP, instead of O2.

    It's not just in our heads.

  13. Noch eine Veranstaltung: Im Kunsthafen Köln die altuelle Version von Lay Down Comedy. Es geht um (unsichtbare) chronische Krankheit und Behinderung.

  14. A dear friend checked in on me today. She was concerned by my quiet. She sent a photo of a brilliant dahlia. I shared of my sadness at difficulties recent and very likely future. In response, she sent me (the name of) a book: A Still Life, by Josie George. I’m reading it now with very late lunch. Such a simple gift of understanding, care and solidarity. ❤️

  15. When my husband & I first started watching Miraculous Ladybug, we were sure it was just going to be utterly ridiculous and not worth continuing. Well, we continued & the show gets DEEP. We got soooo hooked we've rewatched it three times now, and there's plenty of seasons left to be made still. It's also very inclusive, especially season 6. 🌈
