Talk to your kids about intrusive thoughts. They’re more common than you may realize, and they can be disturbing and scary. Kids don’t know what they are, and they aren’t likely to share they are having them. I cannot even begin to tell you the relief upon learning what they are-

🧵I want to share some thoughts about reporting on long COVID and other complex chronic illnesses. (e.g. below) This is a thread about the ethos behind these pieces, and how I’ve approached interviewing, writing, and the rest of it. 1/ teapawt.net/edyong209/status/15693…

🚨I wrote about “brain fog”—one of the most common & disabling symptoms of long COVID (and many other pre-pandemic conditions), and one of the most misunderstood. Here’s what brain fog actually is, and what it’s like to live with it. 1/ theatlantic.com/health/archi…
One of Long COVID’s Worst Symptoms Is Also Its Most Misunderstood

One of Long COVID’s Worst Symptoms Is Also Its Most Misunderstood

Brain fog isn’t like a hangover or depression. It’s a disorder of executive function that makes basic cognitive tasks absurdly hard.

Access labor cannot ONLY be done by disabled people. We need you to alt text images, automatically turn on captions, host virtual/hybrid events that ENGAGE us. We need you to plan for us so we don't have to ask again and again for permission to inhabit the same space. 8/10

Here is a map of the convention center. We are scoping out where the accessible elevator is but it appears that the one in C155 is only access to the parking garage & the others are not accessible. @texasdemocrats #TXDemocraticConvention @KieferOdell
This is a map of the Kay Bailey Hutchison Dallas Convention Center. Contact Jac Valencia if you have any direction questions at 832-439-6609. There are a ton of words and diagrams on this map. The ADA spaces for parking are in Level G and P. The Texas Democrats with Disabilities Caucus meeting is in room C155 in Level 1 on Friday 7/15 at 12:30-1:30 PM. You have to get credentials before noon on Friday in order to vote in the convention but you do not need credentials to vote in the TXDWD caucus. You are required to be a member and be virtual or in person.

Every the you press the up only the elevator that goes down opens its doors. Even if it did go to the second floor, it is not wheelchair accessible. @texasdemocrats

Info from @CameronGallucci : Across from gift shop, approx. 50 feet from the escalator. I just tested it and it only goes to the parking garage...There are two elevators and there is an up button, but it does not respond to commands.

@RepEBJ @juliejohnsonTX @jessicafortexas many Texas Democrats will be excluded from the political process if these matters are not addressed, and if there is not a hybrid option. Will y'all help #TexasDemocratsWithDisabilities be part of the #2022DiversityThemedConvention?
