People with low spoons, someone just recommended this cookbook to me, so I thought I'd pass it on.
I always look at cookbooks for people who have no energy/time to do elaborate meal preparations, and roll my eyes. Like, you want me to stay on my feet for long enough to prepare 15 different ingredients from scratch, and use 5 different pots and pans, when I have chronic fatigue and no dishwasher?
These people seem to get it, though. It's very simple in places. It's basically the cookbook for people who think, 'I'm really bored of those same five low-spoons meals I eat, but I can't think of anything else to cook that won't exhaust me'.
I’m sick of just trying to get through things.
I want to enjoy things. I want to look forward to things instead of just dreading being tired and in pain.

Hi everyone, I wanted to share some promising developments about a nasal COVID-19 vaccine:
"THIS IS HUGE! Researchers have developed a nasal COVID-19 vaccine that BLOCKS transmission of the virus. This suggests vaccines delivered directly to the nose or mouth could play a CRITICAL role in containing the spread of respiratory infections. Phase I clinical trials HAVE BEEN APPROVED!"

Reblog if you understand that disability is not a monolith and two people with the same disability do not have identical experiences ✨
while I’m talking about disability shit.
I think people. sometimes. even in the disability community. forget that every possible symptom under the sun is on a spectrum of severity, intensity, frequency, etc. every person experiences their disabilities differently in ways that are, quite frankly, incomparable
sometimes the way people talk about certain disabilities implies that it is somehow possible to rank every disability from objectively ‘not that bad’ to ‘the worst in the world’ and that’s just not true. the way people talk about social anxiety or sensory issues or asthma or whatever forgets the fact that those are all disabilities that look very different from person to person and from day to day. there’s no such thing as an inherently mild disability
