I Had To Use My Aac Yesterday After I Got Into A Very Minor Car Accident. My Partner Was Driving The

It’s May, which means it’s Ehlers Danlos Syndrome Awareness Month!

Since it’s massively underdiagnosed, I figured this would be a great occasion to share some of my favorite infographics about this condition. (And for any of you who have been wondering why my personal posts here are basically all about medical mishaps and weird injuries: it’s because of hEDS and comorbidities.)

To any of my fellow zebras out there, we will make it through this!

… you absolutely cannot support disabled people and support the police at the same time. the police routinely abuse and murder disabled people and are not only exonerated, they are celebrated for it. the police as an institution is antithetical to disabled liberation. there is no version of reality where a police state and disabled safety can coexist.

It's not that I don't want to visit, it just wasn't on the list I made in my head

Hey guys I figured out how my school bullies knew I was weird

speaking on what i posted earlier, i’ve been working on allowing myself to verbally shut down/freeze up when something bad happens because when i overreact it hurts my head, makes me cry, brings a lot of stress, and makes me feel anxious. i recently found out what AAC devices are and SGDs are! i use weave chat on my ipad when i verbally shut down and wow it has helped so much!

i have to make my burps and farts a joke or else i’ll cry /hj

just a kind reminder to please be kind to the people you know with gastrointestinal disorders/conditions! they're embarassing, often very painful - sometimes debilitating - and very hard to talk about without oversharing a lot more than most are comfortable with.

if someone you know:

- spends a lot/long time in the restroom

- has a colostomy bag

- requires diapers or similar implements

- experiences a lot of gas and/or bloating

- requires tube feeding or other alternative methods of nutrition

- has food restrictions (e.g. cannot handle a lot of spices, certain proteins, etc.)

- eats a lot, or only a little

or other similar factors of their life...

please be patient and understanding, it's hard having guts that really like disagreeing with you!

let's lean with mama

i hope i don’t lose followers or friends for this, but i don’t understand why people are so allergic to saying trans men. it’s always ‘trans mascs’ which i am not, i am a transsexual man. and it’s always next to ‘trans women’. why do trans women get to be full on women but i am just ‘masculine’? it makes me feel like i am not truly a man in their eyes.

so beautiful! i wonder what they smell like?

I am a grown ass adult and I still get nausea when I feel like I'm in trouble. They're gonna send me to the principals office and take away my toys for a week. Can you just fucking kill me instead of making me stew in my fucking anxiety
