Most days I only have a few spoons left after dealing with chronic pain, PTSD, nightmares, and mobility issues.

If you’re navigating injury/claim stuff too… you’re seen! ❤

My app @3mpwrApp has a “bad day mode” button built exactly for this! Rest first. We’ve got your back.

The invisible math of chronic illness: before saying yes to anything, you're calculating energy reserves, recovery time, medication timing, and whether you'll pay for it tomorrow.

It's not laziness. It's a constant equation that healthy people never have to solve.

With bipolar, my energy fluctuates, so my habits do too.
On bad days, I do the easy version of my care routines.
Doing a little is better than doing nothing. 🥄

Equity will always benefit disabled people over equality. Equality's default is a society built for non disabled folks only. Equity listens to specific needs and accommodations. 🥄🥄🥄

Frage, an die #inklusion Community:
Ich schreibe auf der Arbeit für unsere Mitarbeitenden deutschlandweit einen Blog zu Inklusionsthemen. Es wurden schon Themen wie #SpoonTheory #CripTime oder orangene Parkausweise behandelt, aber auch Themen wie Behinderung und Teilzeit, inklusive Kinderbücher oder "Soll ich's sagen" (eine Entscheidungshilfe, ob man seine Einschränkungen offenlegen sollte).
Nun suche ich nach neuen Themen. Habt ihr Ideen? Gerne boosten.

#spoontheory

Anybody else ever kind of want to explain certain neurodivergent and/or spoonie concepts in D&D 5E terms to people who don't quite understand?

For example:

Neurospicy rage

You get a variant of Rage, customised to the player character after a discussion with the DM.

Unlike the standard Rage that Barbarians have, you don't choose whether to enter it during combat. Instead, you have to roll a saving throw when certain events happen... both in and out of combat.

If you fail, you enter your specific variant of rage.

DM: "Okay. You've entered AuDHD rage."

You will get some temporary boosts, but there may be damaging conditions afterwards, such as:

• Taking a point of Exhaution.
• Losing the ability to speak (Verbal Shutdown) for D4/D6/D8 etc. hours.
• Experiencing a near-total inability to do anything (Meltdown) for D4/D6/D8 etc. hours.
  • This may look similar to the short-term effects under the optional madness mechanic in 5E.

Spoons

You have a number of Spoons each day, customised to the player character.

Taking certain actions will require you to spend Spoons, like the Ki points that Monks have.

Player: "I'll spend 1 Spoon to take a Short Rest."

If you run out of Spoons, you may choose to take certain actions, but there will be negative consequences, such as:

• Taking a point of Exhaustion.
  • This could be reflavoured as Knives, since spoonies draw on these when out of Spoons.
• Starting the next day with fewer Spoons.
• Mental and physical injuries.
  • For each consecutive day where you continue to take actions after running out of Spoons, there will be increasing risks to your character.

Neurospicy Recall and Infodump

Neurospicy Recall would be a variant of the Keen Mind feat.

You pick a Special Interest during character creation, and get to add additional ones as you level up.

You can recall random facts almost perfectly, but only if they occurred greater than a month ago.

If you wish to remember something clearly within the last month, or a very-specific fact or word, you will need to roll a Memory check. The more-recently something occurred and the more you wish to remember it, the more difficult the DC will be.

If a fact or word relates to a Special Interest, you do not need to roll, as you automatically succeed. However, you will then proceed to Infodump about it.

If you're trying to recall a being's name, unless they are directly linked to a Special Interest, your immediate family, or a best friend, you have disadvantage on the roll.

Just watched a goodly short by a content creator who struggled with long-COVID for about 2 years.

5 things healthy people take for granted

For anyone who wants to read the text, rather than the short, here's a transcript we generated quickly from the audio using Subtitle Edit. (It only needed one word change and a couple of minor apostrophe edits.)

I haven't done one of these videos in ages, but here are five things that healthy people take for granted.

Number one is being able to do everyday basic things. Getting out of bed, climbing the stairs, cooking, every single everyday thing. Healthy people can just do all of it without questioning any of it. Healthy people are just able to function normally in everyday life.

Number two is that most healthy people can just move their bodies whenever they want. Sorry, what do you mean that you can just go on a run or exercise or move? With all that excess energy they can just push their body to the extreme without any consequences. Unlike like a couple of days maybe recovery time.

Healthy people can just make plans and schedule in a coffee date for a few weeks' time without even like thinking about it. Because of course they're gonna be able to make it. They just plan and then they just do.

Okay, they never have to think of spoons. Only when like they're doing the dishwasher or eating soup. Healthy people do not need to track or ration their energy. So they don't need a language for it. There's no budgeting their energy for different tasks. Spoons are merely pieces of metal they find in their cutlery drawer.

Most of the time, healthy people do not need to advocate for their own health. Most might not even know what the term medical gaslighting is or they may have never experienced it. There's no anxiety around doctors' appointments. They're not fighting anyone for answers or support. It's such a privilege to be believed and receive empathy.

So yeah, if you're healthy and you might not even think about these things or perhaps take them for granted, just know that there are people who are chronically ill or perhaps have poor health that do not have these privileges.

Edit: If you saw the hilarious typo we made before we quickly edited it out, shhhhh 😅🤭🩷

I ended up struggling with my choices all morning, despite having a great time on the trail.

I had chosen a smaller one, to have time at the cabin afterwards. At times I thought it was a great choice. But as soon as the trail was not up to certain imaginary standards, I was doubting the choice...

Is that more anxiety driven or autistic behaviour?

#spoonTheory #actuallyautistic

Sometimes I know what's best for me. Today I don't. I'm alone at a friend's cabin, not entirely voluntarily.
I could take the whole day to myself here, I have enough to entertain myself.
Or I could go do a trail and come back to relax.

I usually love trails and outdoor exercise. But I feel tired.
I'm afraid that if I don't go outside I will regret it. But if I go outside, will I spend all my spoons for the day?

Both options seem valid, which makes it hard.

I did get up, no choice as Benji demands his breakfast, so have taken pills and a snack. But I need to be up and washed/dressed in 30 mins time and all my spoons have disappeared.

7.7: Ariel & Christina Discuss Living with a Disability as a Solarpunk

Today Christina talks to Ariel about what it's been like to live as a solarpunk with a visible - and then invisible - disability. Science fiction has spent decades dreaming of how future tech will make disabled people able to function as if they were fully abled. Now solarpunk has arrived on the scene to ask why should disabled bodies have to always be the ones to adapt? It can be uncomfortable, intrusive - not to mention expensive. Solarpunk wonders why can't cities, society, workplaces, and the like be the ones to use the tech to make themselves more accessible to and inclusive of disabled people?

Tune in as Ariel and Christina discuss the portrayal of disability in science fiction and solarpunk and how having to suddenly live with a disability opens your eyes to many of the ways cities fail people with disabilities.

alright, I do have to repeal some of the congealing anger.
I did get antibiotics, more prednisolone, a walk-in X ray referral, and BELIEVED when they observed I can speak in full sentences etc and I said "I'm compensating a lot rn."

Still angry, still losing it, still not here by choice. But fine. Today COULD have been more shit.

Season Two Episode Six: Gentle Gardening on Limited Spoons with Erin Alladin

Erin Alladin’s new e-book “Gentle Gardening: A Guide for Uncooperative Bodies” is transformative, specifically covering the issues of gardening with chronic fatigue and the other complex disabilities that can accompany it, and reframing gardening as an accessible and fun activity. Ariel talks to Erin in this episode about her journey with gardening to where she is now, the book, a bit about gardening on Turtle Island as a settler, and tackling the gardener’s mindset and impostor syndrome that may come with it.

You can visit Erin’s blog at EarthUndaunted.com to learn more, and check out GENTLE GARDENING: A GUIDE FOR UNCOOPERATIVE BODIES. You can connect with her at TikTok, X, and Instagram @ErinAlladin.

Also, bevor ihr reflexhaft kritisiert, erinnert euch bitte daran, dass an diesem Ende eine behinderte Person sitzt und/oder fragt, warum etwas noch nicht geschehen ist und/oder bietet Hilfe an. P.S.: Falls ich die Löffel habe, werde ich an dieser ersten Veranstaltung der Reihe am Montag teilnehmen und die Plattform ansprechen. Danke

Hello and welcome to my #introduction 👋I am a mid-thirties, late diagnosed #ADHDer, with an #autistic partner. Coming up to my diagnosis 1-year anniversary 🥳 and learning lots every day, having regular “aha” moments. I work PT #burnout in a library and spend my free time trying to coral my unruly curiosity fairly unsuccessfully.
