She is incredibly ill. SPS is a very difficult disease. Instead of framing this as overcoming adversity — which is very 'inspiration porn' — we should instead recognize that her body is going to make her pay for ages for this performance. This was a gift to her fans & country.

I cannot reiterate this enough: I'm not mad C didn't have these things in place, but I know he could have - that you can. Planning is self-care. It is also a major act of love, giving friends & family clarity, direction, and most of all ease in the midst of loss and grief.

I also want y'all to know that the signs of a heart attack might not be what you've been told or seen in media. C's only real symptom was vomiting. Take a moment to learn about the many symptoms someone might have, and use that knowledge to help you consider when to seek help.

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK "If you force the kids to push their bodies until they are in tons of pain, over time their brains can learn to ignore it...“

The more you think about pain, the more it hurts, an expert hypothesizes. To help kids with a rare pain syndrome, he's offering a paradoxical cure: "Put them in pain to get them better."

Don’t make jokes that have health issues as the punchline. A big bowl of ice cream isn’t gonna give you diabetes. If you’re indecisive, you’re not bipolar. Stop being ableist asshats.

C's elderly parents live 7 hours away & aren't sure when they can come here to work thru estate & legal things. That's why I've also suggested involving local-to-you folks. The folks here can take care of a decent amount & ease what the family is going through as much as we can.

You also likely have resources where you live that can help with some of these things, if needed. But they're often very busy, underfunded, and may be hard to access. Remember: We take care of us, of each other. That applies even in death.

Instead of telling disabled people they’re expendable or can’t use straws they depend on, why aren’t y’all throwing money at teens inventing ways to clean the ocean? 🤔

I'm not saying let's not ask why Lizzo uses an ableist slur in her new song BUT There are a lot of recent songs that have ableist BS in them but don't seem to be called out the same way some of y'all going after a prominent Black woman #DisabilitySoWhite

This... But also, for those of us who are disabled, Amazon is how we can get what we need, so it's okay to cross that line if you need to. We have to build these accessibility thoughts into our calls to action - otherwise, ableism reigns.

@JortsTheCat Disabled and high-risk folks like me were told to go get our own groceries during the worst parts of the pandemic. We're constantly receiving feedback that our lives aren't worth protecting. Taking 2 seconds to acknowledge this and the privilege issues at play is vital here.

Dear fellow chronic illness and disability folks, I understand the impetus to use comparisons to show people how sick you are, but you need to stop comparing conditions to HIV/AIDS (or, indeed, any other condition).
