Crutch users: do you ever feel like your radius and ulna are separating from each other when putting weight through the crutch? It’s reaching the point I can’t walk because of my elbow pain and I don’t know what it is or how to prevent it. #DisabilityTwitter #EDS #DisabledInSTEM
With the Holiday Season upon us, I'm happy to re-launch the #DisabledInSTEM merch! Now is a great time to get some merch for yourself to rock in pride or give to a loved one during this season of giving! bonfire.com/store/disabled…
Last day to sign this petition calling for proper access to care for people with #hEDS/#HSD in the #NHS! I will (hopefully) be one of the small group delivering the petition to Downing St in a couple of weeks time. Please sign now and share today! petition.parliament.uk/petitions/6373…
HELP: We need 100,000 signatures by 2nd November to have this petition considered for debate in Parliament! Signed our England petition to tell Government #EnoughIsEnough - we need dedicated funding for #HypermobileEhlersDanlosSyndrome and #HypermobilitySpectrumDisorders.
Sign the England petition here: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/6373… If you live anywhere in the UK or are a British Citizen, you can sign this petition. We can't do this without your support. Please share @cheryleehouston @jameelajamil @Charlie_Dimmock @BendyBrain @jdibon @KlassMyleene
Hey @NOWTV I got this email a few weeks ago when my payment didn't go through. I've updated my card details twice trying 2 different cards, and sent 2 emails but got zero response. Today you cut off the broadband to me, a seriously ill housebound person. Why? #NowBroadband
Does anyone need a code to the blue *** place? Preferably #DisabledInSTEM individuals or any mutuals!
Having to undergo an emergency procedure this week. The cost for the doctor alone is $262 and doesn't take not consideration the hospital expenses, anesthesia, etc. If you could please boost/share/support, it would be much appreciated! bonfire.com/i-feel-it-in-m… #DisabledInSTEM
Hi I'm Abi! I'm a Black disabled queer creator! Please repost, it could lead to my next sale! I just moved and my landlord threw away about 200$ of my things. Please repost to help me out. Thanks! Store details below!
Disability folks: Could you help spread this within the disability community? I'm trying to spread B l u e S k y codes to those who want to try it out.

🚨 If you qualify for FREE lateral flows, order some NOW: gov.uk/order-coronavi… NB/ This is from an old communication. We do know that everything Covid has slowly been defunded. So, we continue to hope for the best and prepare for the worst....
Four days left! bonfire.com/i-feel-it-in-m… Would really appreciate any boosts of this! I'm actually in the negatives for this and would love to at least break even if I get a few more sales! 😔#DisabledInSTEM
Hi I'm Abi! I'm a Black disabled queer creator! Please RT, it could lead to my next sale! I sell pins, stickers, compression gloves, artist gloves, hip braces, wrist braces, elbow sleeves, compression socks, knee braces, ita backpacks, plushies & more! Store details below!
Please keep sharing, can we get to 20,000 by Sunday? petition.parliament.uk/petitions/6373… #Ehlersdanlossyndrome #hypermobilityspectrumdisorder #EnoughIsEnough
@DisabledStem do you know of any safety goggle recs that work with masks & small heads? I can’t constantly readjust in the lab but I want to be able to see without fogging & still protect myself from covid. It’s organic chemistry so it needs to work for splash protection!
There is no dedicated funding for the diagnosis/treatment of #HypermobileEhlersDanlosSyndrome or #HypermobilitySpectrumDisorder We believe this should change. Please sign & RT: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/6373… #EnoughIsEnough We need 100,000 signatures by November!

@normal_ness This! I remember being attacked years ago because I fundraised for a small countertop dishwasher. Cause I kept fainting while doing the dishes. People just called me lazy and a scammer. And it was so hurtful. Having a dishwasher was a necessity cause I need clean dishes to eat.
@bibicosplays Dishwasher was life changing for me. I keep trying to write about this perceived luxury topic but it’s still not coming out well. People need to respect & trust us (that we know what helps our disabilities) without putting their layer of perception on us.
@normal_ness Exactly! This perceived luxury could be a necessity for someone with a disability. They need to think of disabled people and not assume that we're lying or exaggerating our disabilities.
With the Holiday Season upon us, I'm happy to re-launch the #DisabledInSTEM merch! Now is a great time to get some merch for yourself to rock in pride or give to a loved one during this season of giving! bonfire.com/store/disabled…
i had one prof who gave open-laptop exams, no restrictions. we could access the internet to look things up. he said in the real world, we wouldn’t be tested by what we could memorize. we would be tested on our ability to figure out how to solve the problem
Exhaustion doesn’t even cover what my body is feeling after everything this year.
So expensive to cover all of this and more expenses on the way. This is tough on a graduate student salary and funeral expenses this year.
Perhaps the toughest procedure on my body yet? Haven’t had solid food since Monday at lunch….
Two procedures done today. Very hard to be back in a hospital after the loss of my grandfather. Not great results so far and still awaiting further biopsy results 😬
Shoutout to the people looking forward to using a genderless title once they finish their PhD.
I need to know more people who are either chronically ill in grad school or survived grad school while chronically ill This is absolutely an ask for others to connect with and/or mentorship
With yet another threat from Musk that will worsen Twitter for disabled people, I'm opening my B l u e S k y distribution effort beyond the chronically ill community to include the disabled community. To get or donate a code, fill out this form. forms.gle/Z88X9xxhJRPwjC…
Horrible idea. Not just inaccessible for people who use mobile screen readers but people like me who have dexterity issues with our fingers
If your PhD supervisor doesn't tell you: -You deserve to be here -Research is hard but you are capable of figuring it out -You are making progress even if you can't see it -You are entitled to vacation time We are your second support supervisor now... I don't make the rules 😎
Five briefings and an interview later, the day shift of Tropical Storm Hilary's landfall and main impacts is in the books! ✅ I'm so glad I'm able to use my communication skills helping my office and the people we serve. Communicating weather means so much to me.
Also obviously can't imagine hearing I can't have kids so uh, whatever your reasons, if your pets are your kids, I won't argue.
Family emergency. Any good thoughts or prayers are much appreciated.
