I gave the big write-up on it over on IG but I should've done an informative thing on tiktok or here. I didn't realise how many people are waiting for their medial branch block til I looked for it myself #ciad
Next time!

🔴 #Ciad e delegazione europea in visita ai campi orientali dei rifugiati del #Sudan
tommasin.org/blog/2025-05...
🔴 L' #UNHCR è seriamente preoccupato per il rapido aumento del numero di rifugiati sudanesi che attraversano il #Ciad orientale.
Solo nelle ultime due settimane sono arrivate circa 20.000 persone, per lo più donne e bambini esausti e traumatizzati. #KeepEyesOnSudan #Sudan
And another little gripe of mine, why are no wedding venues indicating whether they're wheelchair/disability friendly?
It's all well and good showing me pictures of the fireplace up close, or the decorations, if I don't know whether I'll even be able to get IN to your venue to appreciate them #ciad
"Nel cuore del #Sahel, il #Ciad affronta una crisi profonda che non fa notizia, ma scava ogni giorno più a fondo nella carne viva del Paese."

🔴 #Ciad 🇹🇩 #Sudan 🇸🇩 REPORT // esperienze di donne e ragazze sudanesi sfollate nel Ciad orientale.
Carenze critiche negli aiuti, nella protezione e nel supporto attento alle esigenze di genere, aggravate da una grave carenza di finanziamenti.

🚨 #Ciad 🇹🇩 Da 2 anni la guerra in #Sudan 🇸🇩 provoca migliaia di morti e oltre 12 milioni di sfollati.
Molti sudanesi sono fuggiti in Ciad, ma gli aiuti umanitari diminuiscono di giorno in giorno. #KeepEyesOnSudan

#CripCoop principle 7: This is for real. We've waiting for enabled people to support us for far too long. Some are great but the majority - and systems - have failed, to the extent that people are dying. If you want a problem solved, ask a #CIAD person! #Disability #DisabilitySky #NEISVoid #CripArts
#CripCoop principle 2: CripCoOp is open to anyone CIAD regardless of race, sexuality, gender, age, class, & all the other intersections. Too ill to contribute? You can still join/get support. CripCoop supports all #CIAD people, not just the most enabled #Disability #DisabilitySky #NEISVoid #CripArts
Not sure what #CripCoop is all about? This (now 10 song) playlist explains the principles via #music. Chronically ill or disabled? Join us! Visit CripCoop.com for more info: basic idea - share your skills & needs & connect with other #CIAD people for mutual support #DisabilitySky #NEISVoid #CripArts
Authors, if you see this, post the first line of your book.

#Ciad, 4 #femminicidi e 13 casi di #stupro in poco più di una settimana. 224 gli abusi registrati lo scorso anno dalla Lega ciadiana per i diritti delle donne. Che ha lanciato una petizione internazionale. Crimini normalizzati da impunitá e atteggiamenti di mascolinità tossica online. Ne scrivo oggi
Fab - got links to make it easy for people to buy? And are you running any promos at any point, whether free books or reductions or whatever? Also, are you in my #CIAD #writer starter packs? Over 175 people now so getting a little hard to keep track of who's in and who I've missed out :-). #CripCoop

Welcome to the #CripCoop. Isolation, we can help with - I'm isolated too, but I'm meeting some lovely people via CripCoOp. Would you like me to add you to the #CIAD writers starter pack too (not sure why you aren't in there already)? go.bsky.app/CuhhS17 Anything else you need/can offer support with?
Want to add more #ChronicallyIll & #Disabled writers to your #reading list? There are 150 fab #CIAD #writers here bsky.app/starter-pack... and another 26 (so far) in here bsky.app/starter-pack.... Particularly keen to add more #authors who are #Black & #GlobalMajority as the first pack is a bit pale
Chronically ill or disabled? Need help? Join #CripCoop & swap skills with other #CIAD #creatives. How? Add your skills & your needs to this thread & we'll try to connect you with someone who can help. Check the thread too: there may be someone you could help/be helped by. Please share Kristin's post
There are 150 fab chronically ill & disabled writers in this starter pack bsky.app/starter-pack... & more brilliant #CIAD writers in this one bsky.app/starter-pack.... @spoonieauthnet.bsky.social have a starter pack too. Directory here so you can search for more. blueskydirectory.com/starter-pack...
You can read reviews and interviews with chronically ill and #disabled writers on Ciadish.co.uk & find #CIAD writers to follow in this starter pack bsky.app/starter-pack... and this starter pack bsky.app/starter-pack... Check #CripCoop to find brilliant creative disabled people too #DisabilitySky
I'd love a chance to win this - I'm a HUGE fan of @bibicosplays.bsky.social So many of the products have helped give me back extra upright time/comfort - and I love introducing #CIAD friends to Bibi's art & medicine in clothing form and subsequently learning about them experiencing the benefits too.
As are #books by these authors bsky.app/starter-pack.... (NB: which starter pack writers are in is down to when I found them on Bsky - all the #writers are brilliant regardless of which pack they're in). I'm still adding to SP2 - esp keen to find more Black and global majority #CIAD writers #BookSky
Buy #books by #ChronicallyIll and #Disabled writers (please). And can people start using #CIAD so it becomes a proper word? It's a pain to have to type Chronically Ill and Disabled all the time - & wastes space that could otherwise be used for #activism, jokes, a music link or a hashtag. #Disability
Fab: I love the way the #CIAD community finds each other. If you review #WriteNow once you've read it, there's another #competition too bsky.app/profile/barr... (closes Sun but book is deliberately only 50 pages long so you can focus on writing, & review can be 6 word summary/haiku if you want ;-))
The #ChronicallyIll and #Disabled #Writers starter pack is almost full: 24 places left. Should you be in it? Any other #CIAD writers missing? Which other #disability starter packs do you recommend? Any for CIAD illustrators, editors, agents or anyone else disabled involved with writing & publishing?
Followed all the #authors in the #ChronicallyIll & #Disabled #Writers Starter Pack yet? Loads of people are sharing #books in the thread. 25 spaces left. Who's the best #CIAD writer you've read? Best CIAD-written #book this year? Are you a marginalised CIAD #writer with a book out who needs support?
