Hey, folk who have #invisibledisabilities…. How do you explain to people that you don’t have the same body capabilities/endurance/needs as folk who don’t have the same challenges you do?

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how to better explain to folk that my body is always operating at reduced capacity because my #donotdie medicine slows my heart rate and thus, while I’m fit and strong, my body tires more easily than it might otherwise do.

I can say “oh, I have #LQTS” but folk don’t really get the implications. I can say “remember that person who died from drinking an energy drink/super caffeinated beverage/too much coffee?” And they get that… but… It doesn’t translate to “I GET FUCKING TIRED EASILY AND SOMETIMES I JUST CAN’T FOR A FEW DAYS BECAUSE THE MEDICINE THE KEEOS ME FROM HAVING A CARDIAC ARREST ALSO GIVES ME SUPER LOW BLOOD PRESSURE AND LOW HEART RATE”

I’ve had some friendships end because people thought I was always bouncing because I didn’t want to hang but the reality was I was just exhausted… and some folk don’t get that I sometimes have to change plans because body…

I can’t be the only one

Thoughts?

Meine Fresse. Kriegt mal eure Prioritäten klar.
Buu huu huu, die arme Polizei. Es ist gerade mal sechs Wochen her, dass die in Oldenburg einen schwarzen Menschen in den Rücken geschossen und ermordet haben. Warum reden wir nicht darüber? Warum zerreißt ihr euch stattdessen über einen ACAB-Pulli die Mäuler?

Wir sind auf dem besten Weg in die zweite faschistische Diktatur in weniger als hundert Jahren, Fritze hat die Grenzen dicht gemacht fĂźr mehr rassistische Gewalt, und die Klimakatastrophe ist in vollem Gange.

Und ihr regt euch ßber den Pulliaufdruck von irgendeiner 25jährigen auf. Sachma habt ihr nichts besseres zu tun?

Sie mĂźssen immer in die stabile Seitanlage gebracht werden.
Weil wir Seitanschläfer*innen sind.

"We are facing a crisis of social alienation. As unnatural catastrophes abound and fascism tightens its grip, we are alone together in the glow of our screens, “connected,” but unheld. Our movements must address this crisis. We need more discussion spaces and more spiritual and emotional support groups."

Am Sonntag den 15.06. streame ich ganz frĂźh ganz viel Lerncontent zu digitaler Barrierefreiheit! Es wird fĂźr alle was dabei sein!  Haben wir da ein Date von 8 bis 10 Uhr? Perfekte FrĂźhstĂźcksunterhaltung!

Das ganze ist im Rahmen von Shine Pride (https://shine-pri.de) und wir sammeln dabei Spenden fĂźr tolle und super wichtige queere Projekte wie das @QueerLexikon.

Warum? Weil Pride nicht ohne Barrierefreiheit geht.

Boost if appropriate!

Fediverse: suggest me the best (introductive) political philosophy book that I can binge on instead of doomscrolling.

Bonus point if it includes indigenous philosophies and bonus bonus points if it includes women philosophers or scientists!

I'm already familiar with reading secondary texts on philosophy, as I've read a fair amount of will durant and have been 'trying' to read A.C Grayling.

I'm loosely familiar with anarchism and Marxism purely from being affiliated with communists and anarchists online, but haven't read both the philosophies thoroughly.

Thank you fedi, stay kind and swag

Hey, so mocking Musk and Trump for incontinence is ableist.

Please stop.
