So you want to offer advice/assistance to a disabled and/or poor person. A thread. 1. Number one is don't offer unsolicited advice on here. Just DON'T do it. But let's say the person is a friend of yours, you have that kind of relationship and this isn't a reply to a tweet.

May is #ALSAwarenessMonth having #ALS can be very lonely & isolating. As the disease progresses & you become more obviously handicapped & speech more slurred, people become uncomfortable around you, they don’t know what to say or how to act, so they just stay away. Sad but true!

Not one single freaking charger that works. Computer dead. Phone at 5% and zoom in 2 hours - that I’m hosting. Someone gave me tablet but it too needs charging. Paypal wants my kidney. Haven’t slept in 2 days. I’m having a day here!

I encourage you to take the time to intentionally look for things that are accessible OR inaccessible in your surrounding community as you go throughout your weekend. AND remember accessibility & inclusion is NOT just a parking spot or toilet stall for a bathroom. #accessibility

E-mail from a friend in Ukraine: “We saw fighter aircraft, helicopters & Russian paratroopers from our window. We walked for miles. And now we are safe. My wife is in Poland now, and I am in Ukraine. I'm sending you some photos of the city where we lived."

E-mail from Anastasia Afanasieva, doctor & poet: "I am in Kharkiv. I'm alive. They bomb our houses- they aim at peaceful districts (peaceful people were killed today). If your friends really want to help, you can transfer money for our defenders, they need many things to supply"

Current affairs will be held at the festival, pandering to the geo-political lifestylers of our world as well as confusing the festival flavour and excitement of live music & ironic comedy. #lifestylers #goelectric #picnic #ireland bit.ly/3McaA3q @IrishTimesLife
