We know we're people - we don't need the 'nice', 'creative', nasty euphemisms. #DisabledIsNotADirtyWord #PeopleSayAbleistThings #TimeForTangents

Excuse me, what? All of my triggers would be activated by such a request. The need to point out how disability intersects with class, race, gender, etc and how the privileged in society are able to group 'the disabled' together as an amorphous blob. So gross.
my fuckin disability studies course really has a, “dress up like you’re disabled,” assignment chat are we cooked

Just got a call from my dietitian cancelling all future appointments as they've lost government funding. It was an accessible service for a disabled person with no NDIS/DSP funding but screw us all, I guess.

The one thing that’s making me madder than anything else around disabled people’s fight to stop welfare cuts is that it’s only us fighting. We see allies standing loudly for trans rights and Palestine (as they should) but where are they in our fight? Why don’t we matter as much?

If you need to visit an urgent care, sure, universal health care! If you're like me and are disabled/with ongoing chronic health conditions, you have to pay up, and you get a bit back. Also, remember for a brief moment when we could access 20 psych visits? Not anymore ... 😬
We don’t have universal healthcare. Please stop perpetuating this myth. We have selective universal care for emergency situations only. For all other conditions, specifically chronic ones, we have a gap/private system, & it causes poverty for those under it. I am one of those.

While autistic people can experience health problems caused by co-occurring conditions, poor health is not caused by being autistic. You can't 'make (insert here) healthy again' by eradicating autism.
In 1970, Autism was rare: fewer than 1 in 10,000 children. Today, it’s 1 in every 31. We owe it to our children to find out why.

as well as no reason why only academics can and must be the ones telling the stories in order to be recognized and accepted as proper research.

As I've been thinking about lived experience reseach, how researchers are always saying we need more research of this and that to understand a sample, but there's no reason why people esp those from marginalized groups have to be at the whims of academia to tell their stories...

I can't access affordable CGMs to track my blood glucose because my country doesn't subsidise for T2D. I already see influencers use these like toys, and now this jerk wants everyone wearing one like the latest accessory. He has no clue. https://t.co/wVB8pVTFdF

Well done, Debating SA. Misogyny and sexism start at a young age, and adults can be positive or negative influences. Having students argue for tradwifes (NOT SAHPs) will provide a message not only to young girls but also to young boys that women are made to serve men.

Debating SA: Tradwifes. They're just stay-at-home parents, right? *several furious people, most likely parents, pointing out the difference later* Debating SA: We looked it up to make sure, and it's just a portmanteau of traditional and wife. We saw no submission at all!

'People who have done terrible things are cancer!' is a very dramatic take. And a minimising one for anyone who has cancer.
@ArtistAffame Stop being dramatic. Its all about context an directed agree or disagree with the sentiment which is not my style but in this context it was used as a curse as in misfortune wished upon someone. So people die and we morn. Hitler was a cancer do we morn. Biden is an evil

@phonakins Disability should 100% have its own ministry! There's currently very little for disabled people not on ndis. And now that ndis is in a different portfolio it's separated from other disability policy. This is incredibly fragmenting for policy development.

I feel like Disability should have its own minister with NDIS coming under that along with all the things outside the NDIS for disabled people also coming under their remit since they're trying to keep people out of it they should still be responsible for their care
I think the NDIS should have its own minister. It’s not a health service, it’s not aged care. Disability advocates are loud and I feel like the portfolios are being shifted in this way to specifically drown them out

I'm relieved that Australia won't look overtly fascist*, and I got to eat two sausages without a huge blood spike. OTOH having to listen to Albo crow about 'no one left behind' when he's been doing that for 3 years to poor and disabled people leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Labor stans vote comes at a cost, one that most likely won’t affect them in their comfortable middle class existence They won’t even bother to educate themselves about reality until them or someone they know is disabled and simply trying to rent and eat

Now I know how much people in this country really care about disability pension and other income support being below the poverty line and Palestine The answer is not much at all 😔

Absolute bullshit. We have the research already - it just isn't giving the answer people want.
.@DrJBhattacharya: “Sec. Kennedy has asked me to initiate a study on the cause of the rise in autism. It's a question that is at the front of the minds of so many parents … yet scientific progress on this has been slow because scientists are frankly scared to ask the question.”

I've just done a computational analysis of 60000 autism abstracts over time. The leading topic was "causal research", which occupied a raw and relative majority fairly consistently at ten year intervals, and had grown almost exponentially.
