to love and be loved is something community care within Disability has taught me ❤️‍🩹 this felt so vulnerable to share but doing it with my C helped to ease my anxiety. love within disability. not despite. Within.

🧵 1/3 URGENT: Disabled Pakistani advocate Nevra is in critical condition — surviving on IV fluids, unable to eat solid food, and still trying to coordinate her own medical care. She’s spent years fighting for others with neglected illnesses. Now, she needs us.

🇬🇧 🇹🇷 Küçük Kız (The Little Girl) was originally written in Turkish for the #MillionsMissing campaign in 2019 or 2020, I think. My memory fails me 😂 How apt. How characteristic of #PENE (post-exertional neuroimmune exhaustion) - the hallmark symptom of #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis

Video description: first & last slide shows a piece of paper with the words 'küçük kiz' on it. Underneath, in text, says the translation: The Little Girl. The main clip shows white hands holding an orange stack of post-it notes with drawings on them. 1/2

Karachi is drowning, the countdown has begun We fooled ourselves into thinking climate change would drown Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Gilgit Baltistan but never reach Karachi. So we stayed silent. We told ourselves the political chaos would punish the north while Sindh would be spared. Then we watched bodies float past in the floods and still clung to the delusion that we will not float. That lie will drown us. It’s a matter of time. #karachirain #Karachi

Nevra’s paralysis began after being forced to demold & move through 3 hotels during post-exertional malaise. Instead of rest, she was forced to over-fundraise beyond capacity. Now she is paralyzed, with fever >1 week, veins rejecting IV needles, and no local help. #pwME #DV
