@jakobrosin I used to work as an assistive tech trainer and for #DisabilityAdvocacy. Google has helped support CSUN held annually in California for assistive technology, people with disabilities, and people working with disability advocacy/rights - maybe for last 15 years now. They’ve always had focus groups there regarding vision impairment/Blindness AT and accessibility of their services and products.
I really, really feel for what folks with Long COVID are going through. Believe me, I do. Governments and systems that were/are supposed to protect us and provide accurate information totally failed and continue to do more harm than good. But, I really wish I would stop seeing, "No one told us! No one knows what we're going through!"
Disabled and chronically ill people and their advocates have been beating our heads against the walls trying to warn people for three years now. Chronic post viral illnesses as a whole are not a new thing. It's okay to say, "I didn't hear the voices of disabilty activists, and I wish I had." Then amplify those voices.

One of the incredible privileges of teaching the social model of disability for over a decade is having seen this happen multiple times.
It’s life-changing for many, including the teacher.

Response to Anon:
I have those fights within at times as well. Sometime symptoms of disability play a part.
It's sad when individuals want accomodation, or will accommodate other's symptoms and limitations but, do not afford the same to all. Some folks even shun or retaliate. This is often especially true for people with #InvisibleDisabilities. Analogy? Ramps are a nessesary accommodation but, they do nothing for the brain.
What is more sad is that persons with disabilities are often the worst offenders. #DisabilitySolidarity and #DisabilityCommunity with #CrossDisabilitySupport are so important. Without, our community's quest for equality and inclusion is ineffective.
Thank you, for your unwavering support and comradery. I am always here for you if you need.

This is a migrating repost in the guise a #FollowFriday submission. The image is from the talented Abu.
Yeah, there’s some unrelated stuff with links about Brain Injury below that I hope you read. It illumimates the“social" changes those that live with TBI/ABI experience. The understanding of others, can be the biggest step in finding healing… but I talk about that stuff all the time.
This post is about highlighting the artistry of Abu. Explore it all.

The initial post contained a different image of a candle. That’s the only connection but, this way more of you may discover and enjoy Abu.

#Understanding allows for #acceptance, #inclusion and #recovery with many #InvisibleDisabilities including #tbi.

Making a #Introduction is kind of intimidating, but my I'll try...
Hi! I'm Nicole/Nic. I'm an #ElderMillenial living in the #woods in the #PNW with my #puppy in a little purple cottage I built. I'm ambivalent about pronouns, but they/them is good.
I'm a #queer #nonbinary #unschooling #parent of two teens. In my previous life
I was an #RN, but thanks to a #braintumor and #dysautonomia, I'm now #disabled with #ChronicMigraine #chronicpain, and #POTS. Now I'm a #RadicalHomemaker and kind of a wannabe #farmer. When my body is up for it I piddle around outside #building things, doing #projects, learning about whatever interests me, and trying my best to be a good #LandSteward to the forest.
In addition to my kids and coparent, I share my yard with my #chickens and #ducks, a small, young #FoodForest, #flower and #herb gardens, and lots of #NativeForest with all the native critters. I'm an #anticapitalist, #anarchist ( #anarchocommunist ), #buddhist, #EarthCenteredSpirituality, #lgbtq, #sapphic ( #Butch4Butch 😉), #polyamorous, #RelationshipAnarchist.
Here's a bunch of tags of other things that interest me:
