I wish somebody had told me that asking for help as a disabled person is no more burdensome than asking for help as an abled person. Both are just being human. #internalisedableism

Loving hearing @SarahBell85 talk very eloquently about the danger of considering climate vulnerability in disabled people as inevitable rather than a direct consequence of exclusion by policy makers at the NFCDS Annual Lecture: Disabled People and Climate Change

Disability perk, being disabled improved my sex life by teaching me to say what I needed. #disabledpeoplearehot

So excited to see Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha speak, I’m up at midnight UK time for the virtual book launch of The Future is Disabled

It's so lovely to hear @stump_kitchen talk about using cooking to find her stump love and joy at University of Alberta Research Fridays. Sharing this stuff makes so much difference when you're trying to figure out your own disabled joy. Thank you!

I grew up hearing 'no pain, no gain', so when I was doing myself long term damage in PE lessons, I thought I was just being a good sportsperson. I wish some PE teacher had told me that not all pain while exercising is a good thing #toxicfitnessculture

Learning to ask for help when I started finding basic life tasks more difficult took an enormous amount of courage. Shout out to any disabled people facing this right now., it's really hard. #internalisedableism

Disability has meant that my life really didn't go to plan. In some ways, realising that I can find happiness regardless of whether things go to plan, has been the best thing to happen to me since sliced bread.

Nobody told me that success didn't require my body to be functioning at the peak of health, so when I started to get really sick I kind of thought it was all over. So I'm telling you just in case nobody has, you can be sick and successful all at once. #disabledjoy

Something that TV, films and books tend to miss out 99% of the time; romantic relationships aren’t just for abled people thank you very much. #disabledandhot

Just your daily reminder that sex and disability absolutely do go together. #disabledpeoplehavesex

This a reminder for anybody that needs it; your pain is real and valid. #medicalgaslighting

While we're on the subject of gaslighting; I spent years thinking that my fatigue was a result of my being weak-minded. Persistent fatigue is a medical issue, not a motivation issue. #chronicfatigue

Your daily reminder that chronic fatigue is not laziness. #internalisedableism

I used to believe that my fatigue could be shifted by determination alone so my whole focus was on brow-beating myself into productivity. Surprise, surprise; it didn't work. #chronicfatiguesyndrome

Years of being told in a thousand tv shows, films and books that being fat meant being a weak-minded person, led to me permanently damaging my joints in the pursuit of thin. #toxicfitnessculture

I wish that just one person had shown me growing up, that being kind to my body is not the same as giving in #internalisedableism
