I wrote a blog post about the dangers of ultra-processed foods/additives and "natural flavor" (MSG) when you have tyramine intolerance. goodbyecheeseeffect.substack.com/p/ultra-proc... #chronicillness #tyramineintolerance #disabillity #maoidiet #processedfoods #foodsafety #chronicmigraine
I might just look this up a little bit after I play ffxiv, but when writing Alt text, am I to describe what's happening up to and including positions within the picture? What kind of details help a person who needs alt text? #disabillity #accessibility

Two-panel cartoon. Panel 1: When a non-disabled person says ‘push through’ to a disabled person. Image: stickman in a green ‘comfort zone’ pushing through a red barrier to ‘possible but difficult’ zone that has a slightly uneven floor. They are saying, ‘Just push through, you'll be fine! It's just a bit challenging!’ At the end of that is a second red barrier, beyond which are spikes and a warning symbol labelled ‘Actual harm zone’. Panel 2: REMEMBER: the disabled person may be in a very different place to them! Image: identical to the first, except barrier 1 is a small pile of rubble, and an exhausted stickman is at barrier two, saying, ‘Um … really not a good idea.’ StickmanCommunications.co.uk.

I like this explanation of what ‘pushing through’ can mean for a disabled person.

This week I was appointed Chair of the @ruils.bsky.social Transport and Mobility Forum, featured in @adamtranter.bsky.social newsletter and cycled the 40km round trip into work for a walkabout with the CEO of Lambeth Council #disabillity

As someone with a chronic health disease I've been thinking lots of this lately.
Disruption in supply lines means less fancy things for some people, but for others, its actually a matter of life and death.

Me pregunto si en #España tenemos un sistema real de #asistenciapersonal, o tenemos otra cosa, algún invento chabacano de este y anteriores gobiernos. #disabillity
Labours great betrayal of the sick & disabled, societies most vulnerable people & the reason the welfare state was created. #labour #lizkendall #kierstarmer #rachelThieves #angelarayner #BetrayingTheNeedy #REDTORYS #labourLiars #Disabillity
"Among the many targets of the executive orders from Trump’s first few weeks in office are the over 70 million adults in the United States who report having a disability. That’s about one in four American adults, according to 2022 data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention—people […]
People didn’t believe me when I told them that Trump and his cronies literally want me to die. Musk just said I am a member of the “parasite class.” And people cheered, knowing what is to be done with parasites. #CrueltyIsThePoint #Disabillity #SNAP #MAGA
Ellen Clifford, the disability rights campaigner who brought the legal action, said “The Labour Government seems committed to the same policy [as the Tory Government] – making up for failings in the economy by taking money away from disabled benefit claimants.

I feel like having a chronic illness and being old is excessive and really not fair. How am I supposed to know what pain and discomfort is caused by my chronic illness and what is just my body being 61 years old? #disabillity
About myself:
I developed #LongCovid with #PEM --> #ME/CFS after my first #COVID #infection in 2022.
Since then, I have learnt a lot from the #ME/CFS #LongCovid #PostCovid #Chronicillnes #Disabillity, etc. community and I am very grateful for that!
