22.01.2022 Firewood Comparison Chart

22.01.2022 I’ve studied disability rights and advocated for others with my whole heart, a passion that burns extra bright. I will speak until my voice is raw that we are ...human, too. We deserve fun. We like music, and drinks, and sex. We need accommodations to even the playing field, to give us fair, accessible opportunities. But when it comes to my own body, my internalized ableism sits like heavy stones in my core. I find myself tucking away favors as though they’re arcade tickets, saving up to make sure I can afford bigger ones when I need them. Can you put the dishes away? Can we stay in tonight? Can you drive me to the hospital? Can you dress me? Can you please check my shoulder, my ribs, my hips, my ankles, my jaw? If I ask too much, too fast, I’ll run out of tickets. There comes a point where helping out feels like an annoyance, or obligation, or charity, or unequal. Whenever I ask for help, my thoughts tell me I am useless, and needy, and a thick, heavy burden. In an inaccessible world, any accommodation we might need becomes a problem for the people around us, and we are the burdens who have to speak up and say, Help me. It’s not easy to bring attention to our bodies to the things we cannot do in the same way as an able-bodied person. Physical abilities often determine how useful somebody can be, and perhaps this thinking is what needs to change for us to believe that we have value. Our world, our country, our streets, our homes, they don’t start off accessible not without thought, not without a request. If I fought to change everything that wasn’t accessible to my disabled body, I would have to mold society between my warm palms, stretch it like putty, and reshape its very composition. I would have to ask, make a request. I would have to be a burden. The complicated aspect to this feeling of being a burden is that I don’t blame the people around me. Coming over time to believe that I couldn’t fit, and that was okay to me. I was used to excluding myself from inaccessible events. My pain, my fatigue, my needs were a burden. Nobody had to say this out loud (and they never did). This is what our inaccessible world showed me. See more

14.01.2022 Watch this pony who’s spent 10 years alone finally get his life back

04.01.2022 10 doctors per year & $60,000 to just get a diagnosis!! Kris Newby is an award-winning science writer at Stanford University & the senior producer of the Lyme d...isease documentary Under Our Skin. Her new book is Bitten: The Secret History of Lyme Disease and Biological Weapons. Both Kris & her husband were infected by Lyme Disease. My husbands test was negative & my test was ‘a false positive’, the doctor advised odds of us both getting Lyme would be like winning the lottery 10 doctors a year, and $60,000 to diagnose their two serious tick-borne illnesses. They lost wages, medical expenses not covered by insurance, used their savings and sons’ college funds & took a home equity loan to just make ends meet. This story is not dissimilar to the thousands in Australia suffering from lyme, who on average go 10 years & see minimum 14 doctors before a correct diagnosis is made. LDAA stats also show us an Australian lyme patient will spend on average $42,561, and 65% will spend their entire savings. (images in first comment) However, the ripple effect this illness has on families, relationships, careers, finances & quality of life is just too difficult to capture as a dollar figure. We couldn’t do justice to the true pain & suffering felt by so many. Can you relate to Kris and her husband’s journey?
