Every stranger I talk to about my life always goes, “That is so horrible! How are you surviving? I couldn’t do it.”
My family members are like, “How many muffins are you bringing to the party?”
I don’t know, but if they’re salty, it’s because I cried into the batter.

Very worried this month. Currently digging at our meager savings. There may not be any left by next month. Please help. Links in original post.

"Up to 1.2 million people with disabilities will lose thousands of pounds under the government’s welfare overhaul, experts have said, as campaigners warn the plan will exacerbate the country’s mental health crisis and push more children into poverty."

"The argument being made before next week’s welfare green paper – that Labour is “the party of work” and has a duty to reduce welfare costs – has left some furious, and others angry at those who are furious. At prime minister’s questions on Wednesday, Starmer was urged to “provide compassion” to those who cannot work. Jeers after he spoke encapsulated the mood on his benches."

"Hundreds of thousands of seriously ill and disabled people will become “invisible” and cut adrift from local support services as a result of the government’s £5bn programme of disability benefit cuts."

The measles outbreak in Ontario is impacting more than 800 people, including the vaccinated.
Among the fully vaccinated sick with measles, 20-39 year olds have the largest number of infections.
I would have assumed it would be older groups due to waning vaccine effectiveness… so this intrigues me.
More people with young children? More socializing? What’s the X factor? Are repeat Covid infections playing a role?
You can speak to your doctor about getting a titre check to see if you need a booster, and a well fitted respirator like an N95 provides an extra layer of protection!
How 'deaf rage' inspired groundbreaking sign language thriller
I love this so much 
BBC NewsReunion: How 'deaf rage' and 70s thrillers inspired William Mager's dramaThe four-part series tells the story of Daniel Brennan, a deaf man on a journey of revenge.
This is the longest I’ve ever gone without publishing an article, and the stress of not having anything ready is weighing heavy on my heart
It’s ironic considering how often I write about the importance of resting and listening to your body when it needs a break.
I’m so grateful for the Disabled Ginger community, but my body and brain clearly need a break.
I sit down to write everyday, and so far all I have is 30+ drafts with titles, a few images and (at best) two lines of actual content.
This is the harsh reality of chronic illness. It doesn’t matter how much you WANT to do something… if your body says “No”… Its a No.
You can’t try harder your way out of it. You can’t play through the pain.
The more you try to fight your body, the harder and longer the crash.
If you’re struggling to rest right now, take this as a sign to unplug. Relax. Recharge. Give your body what it’s crying out for and do it without the guilt.
We will all be here for you when you’re ready.
Sharing my article on radical rest from the archives, because I need the reminder & maybe so does someone else:

The Disabled Ginger · It's Time to Throw Away the 'Coulda, Woulda, Shouldas' and Practice Radical Rest
If MAHA truly wanted to tackle the chronic illness epidemic, they would provide the following:
Free respirators, Covid/flu tests and vaccines
Clean air in public spaces
Paid time off/sick leave
paid childcare
Mandatory masking in healthcare
Universal healthcare
Universal basic income
They don’t want to end the chronic illness epidemic, they want the chronically ill to disappear. There’s a big difference.
It’s eugenics on full display, and people are buying it because of their own internalized ableism.
They need to believe chronic illness can’t happen to them. That if they do the “right things” they will be fine.
Everyone is only temporarily abled. Help us fight for better social supports, healthcare and inclusion. It benefits everyone.
The man in charge of HHS used the R slur in an FDA meeting where he derided children with disabilities as well as people with autism.
This is the man in charge of health and human services for the entire United States.
RFK Jr is a snake oil salesman and a eugenicist. He speaks of disabled people as though they don’t deserve to live, and I truly believe that’s what he thinks of us.
He’s not going to cure autism (it’s not something that needs to be cured). He’s not going to cure the chronic disease epidemic.
He’s going to disappear us. Whether in ‘wellness camps’ or by making it impossible to access the treatments and supports we need to survive.
This article is deeply distressing:
Living with chronic illness is hard enough without letting guilt stop us from accessing what we need.
Capitalism & ableism have conditioned us to see rest as a failure. To feel bad for needing accommodations.
Accessibility IS resistance. Survival is a way of fighting back.
Rest. Get that mobility aid. Ask for help.
I understand wanting to go 'back to normal'. Pandemics are traumatizing and scary. Of course people want to forget them.
But they don't end when we decide we've had enough. The threat doesn't go away because we have 'Covid fatigue' or because we’re sick of masking.
We must stop denying the reality that Covid is still with us, still killing and still disabling people.
We must work on our collective trauma and push for common sense measures like masks in healthcare, free respirators and tests and clean air in public spaces.
“Back to normal” isn’t working. It’s a mirage. The comfortable lie.
But we can move towards a new normal together. One where everyone is safer and healthier. It’s not too late.

This petition to stop planned benefit cuts needs 10,000 signatures for the government to respond.
If you sign, please remember to check your email and confirm so it goes through
Petitions - UK Government and ParliamentPetition: Protect Disabled people who cannot work from planned cuts to benefitsWe want the Government to halt all planned benefit cuts for disabled people unable to work. Instead of reducing benefits, we want them to rise in line with inflation. We want support, not hardship and deprivation, for those who cannot work.
you cannot "cure" autism. it's a part of someone and how their brain works. you can't always tell if someone has autism. if you've met one autistic person, you've met one autistic person. no, autism isn't a disease, it's a disability. no, vaccines don't cause autism. yes, girls can be autistic.
