So about 7 in 10 nonautistic people are unbothered by sensory stuff in medical waiting rooms/appointments. And 9 out of 10 autistic people are in difficulties with it.— Ann Memmott PGC🌈 (@AnnMemmott) February 24, 2022

I would love to connect with Ukrainian disability organizations. I would imagine that they need our support right now.— Steve Lieberman (@stevemlieberman) February 25, 2022

Masking is not just hiding behaviours in front of people but also constant, OCD-grade rumination and the constant monitoring of your own body, words & thoughts, even if you're alone.#ActuallyAutistic— The Irritated Autie⁷ 💙 (@AutieAdorableMC) February 25, 2022

Respectfully, after the last two years I think we’re beyond the “is anyone else having trouble concentrating with everything going on” phase and need to be asking why we’re upholding a culture that expects us to carry on business as usual— Janel C (@JanelCubbage) February 25, 2022

Found out my book is under investigation by the Oklahoma Attorney General for being "obscene." So if you think less curse words or kissing or references to drinking or drugs are going to keep queer books from being banned, they won't. To them, obscenity is inherent to queerness.— Leah says WEAR A MASK (@byleahjohnson) February 25, 2022

I think I prefer not being dead to your canapés and handshakes thanks.— G Peters “Militant disabled” ♿️ 💚 (@mssinenomine) February 25, 2022

If you are a teacher, doctor, nurse, school counselor, or anyone else working with children in Texas, you need to be willing to break the law in order to protect trans kids. You must choose your values & respect for trans body autonomy over being governable & obeying unjust laws.— Devon Price (@drdevonprice) February 25, 2022

Today was already such a hard day. We tried our first test weaning me off the oxygen. At first it went well. Then I de-sated but not as low as in the hospital. My heart rate has been way higher all day. So add cardiologist to my referrals. Pain spikes my bp but not like this.— Tinu :Empress of Twerk, Thirst of My Line (@Tinu) February 25, 2022

We agreed I pushed a lil too hard, I’ll take it a little easier tomorrow. I’m not in a rush to get off the oxygen.But it would be nice to climb & descend stairs so I can be in my room with my own stuff & sleep in a bed that is suited to my fibro with my weighted blanket.— Tinu :Empress of Twerk, Thirst of My Line (@Tinu) February 25, 2022

Picking up an HRT prescription for someone else and it's a fascinating reminder of the bullshit trans women face that I don't usually and it turns out I do not pass as cis when collecting titty skittles from the pharmacy— Another Angry Woman (@stavvers) February 23, 2022

I've been organizing for almost ten years now and "don't be a protagonist" is probably the best advice I've ever seen on it. it's real shit. being a protagonist does NOTHING for the world. be in the ensemble loves— jenny from the bloc (@flowerqueers) February 24, 2022

Understanding myself after finally discovering I’m #ActuallyAutistic feels very comforting. I felt lost for such a long time before. I believed I was broken and I put all my energy into trying to change. Now I’m understanding and accepting myself. That’s an incredible feeling.— Alex Harpin (@AlexHarpin) February 23, 2022

Most queer kids have, at some point in their childhood, considered the possibility that they might have to go it alone in case their coming out goes badly. And now Abbott wants to deprive the trans kids who *do* have loving parents of their family support. Just evil.— Trung Lê Capecchi-Nguyễn (@Trungles) February 23, 2022

To all trans Texans -- we see you, and we love you. Please know you are not alone in this fight.

Dr. Walensky calling masks a “scarlet letter” has a lot of ableist layers. She thinks it’s shameful and burdensome to show you care about vulnerable people. She thinks we should be ashamed to be seen in public if we’re disabled/chronically ill, that our rights are embarrassing.— MC (@crutchingreader) February 23, 2022

Most of you don't think of many of your needs as needs because you live in a society that was designed to meet them or to make it plausible for you to do what's necessary to have them met. That's not the case for disabled people.— Gabrielle Peters ♿️ 💚 (@mssinenomine) February 23, 2022

watching right wing truckers post shit about the whole “first they came for your neighbours” while trans people in texas are living through that quote is just so fucking infuriating and beyond fucked— ✨ bree ✨ tired era ✨ (@cheeseraven11) February 23, 2022

One good way to protect Texas trans kids would be to abolish the filibuster, pass laws protecting their privacy, and expanding the supreme court to take the matter out of the hands of six illegitimate far-right Christian fascists.— David M. Perry (@Lollardfish) February 23, 2022

What if, instead of saying “we are not equipped to support this student,” we say “how do we BECOME equipped to support this student?”— Tim Villegas (142/365) (@TheRealTimVegas) February 22, 2022
