Waiting means *do not* follow-up because she is well aware of her inbox and will be replying to emails & other messages at her own pace. Waiting means instead of centering yourself and your asks, and "the work" actually, just back off. The work right now is her healing & rest.

It’s hard to remain in the community if you require a high level of care. Check out my essay for @KQED ’s @CalReportTweets w/ policy recs by Mary Lou Breslin of @DREDF #CripTheVote #CareCantWait #DisabilityTwitter

On this #InternationalWomensDay I am thinking about a world where we give Black disabled women their flowers in life as we do in their deaths. Shout out to the art and digital collages of @jtknoxroxs who does this all year round!

this essay on @DisVisibility by @pipagaopoetry is beautiful and I learned so much more about Chinese language! "Language is a playground; words are stim toys. It doesn’t make sense for only me to play with them."

I have my "wellness check" with my LTSS coordinator in 30 min. My response to every question is going to be "I'm alive despite [insert description of current chaos + opinions on current chaos]" I hope she's got a lot of space on those forms.

Ok @Philips . I wanted to give you 24 hrs to realize this website is the same link I tweeted originally. Let's both do checks. I'll check the top of the page *yup, still the same unhelpful link* and you check for accountability of this mess. Aaaaand GO! ... I'll wait.

That survivorhood is my response to "return to normal." The response to disappointments I try to get over quickly because I know the next one will be worse. 6/8

Lovingly vigilant means I put my trust in collective care and access. Registering for booster shots. Getting home test kits. Masking. Checking-in and asking about rest. Sending research studies highlighting sections that point to data. Relieved that I (and we) have not..yet. 4/8

community knowledge is powerful because we know it's beyond data analysis. for many disabled people surviving has required knowing this data and the implications intimately. read these stories collected by @DisVisibility

hi everyone! I'm Sandy. Queer disabled Asian American, she/her pronouns. I'm HoH, a wheelchair-using O.I. and also have ADHD. This year as I think about Visibility I'm considering the ways crip & queer communities approach disclosure of our identities. #30DaysOfDisabledPride

Today's prompt is: Visibility time! Intro yourself with your pronouns, queer identity(ies), disability(ies), and anything else you'd like to share! Me? I'm Jules, they/them, I'm nonbinary and pansexual, and I'm late-Deaf and chronically ill. #30DaysOfDisabledPride

They are seemingly unconcerned about their health or whatever consequences await, but I still choose to be lovingly vigilant. Cuz this is family. And because for me, this is partly what it means to show-up as a disabled family member. 3/8

@DisVisibility A2: I’ve also heard that some local Council on Aging have been calling up homes where members of the household are disabled/elderly and offering to send free COVID test kits. This is why filling out the census remains important! #CripTheVote

I’m leaving my place tomorrow to go do a series of mundane errands for the first time in 2+ months. Like drop off snail mail and pick up library books etc. maybe I’ll get stuck in a snow pile curb cut. Maybe I’ll order tea to go at a cafe. The wild mundane possibilities!
