The Onion knows the real score

So, the Onion just gave up on satire altogether, is what we’re saying. Can’t say I blame it.

I always see “take your meds!” reminders but I’ve never seen one for medical equipment so here!

Friendly reminder to charge up, change out, clean, reapply, adjust, refill, or wear your medical device or equipment if you have any! Love and spoons 💛

flare time 🙃

#love running out of zofran right as my flare begins #ahhhhhh #chronic illness #chronically ill

Let's play: what's in our queer disabled apartment!

My GI tract:

Honestly one thing I'm super excited about when my service dog comes is to have a bathroom floor buddy for sick days. It gets old being alone hugging the toilet for so much of my time.

gosh i really do hate that whole concept of becoming "independent" financially and otherwise. it's bad for everyone, but it's really fucking bad for disabled folks.

independence is not a natural part of humanity. we are not supposed to survive independently, with no need for help from others. we are here to lean and rely on each other. full independence is not realistic or attainable for almost everyone, yet we all strive for it and are put down each time we realize our dependence.

if even an abled person can not achieve this standard of independence, then where does that leave disabled people?

if needing care and support from others is considered a moral failing, then disabled people will always be demonized.

#that's why we need to abolish capitalism thx #disability #disabled

Giving nurses tiktok was a mistake

"our days are so tough" okay tell me how come ur posts aren't like "my labour is super exploited" how come all of em are like "this guy has a weird penis lol"? We have channels to talk about what our work is like and how were treated. Making memes like "when ur pt rings the bell too much" or "remember I get to choose the needle gauge" doesn't actually address any of it it's just an abuse of ur inherent power over patients.

Every single nurse called out for being a cunt online flies immediately towards guilt tripping ppl into feeling bad for em but it's a fundamental misunderstanding of how health care power structures work to act like mistreatment from patients is because we are below them in that heirarchy. We are in a position of power over them by virtue of our knowledge and involvement in their care. The fact that clients can be as shitty as they want to u is because ur employers don't protect u. It's cuz ur work is devalued and incompatible with capitalism. It's cuz you're guilt tripped out of demanding any sort of basic workers rights. None of that is the fault of patients and none of it can be solved by sharing personal embarassing health details abt them on tiktok.
