The lack of shame seems to be the main gripe: people still believe disability should be a source of self-loathing, the unspeakable, a weakness or fault, and that “healthy” people shouldn’t have to be reminded of our mortality and the fragility/vulnerability of the human body.

It’s really quite astonishing. Like, genuinely disgusted I use social media to let friends know I’m ok, but also that I’ll tweet epilepsy first aid. Genuine anger that I am not ashamed that I have seizures?!?!

I worried that by posting hospital selfies, I was attention seeking. But then I thought “what’s wrong with that if I’m feeling a but isolated?” It’s better and more human to share your reality, even if it is a but shit sometimes.

I dreamt of you, that we were buddies and sharing a beautiful flat that was full of light by a river. You were so sweet and kind. You were going to cocktail parties in beautiful gowns and I woul stay home looking out the window drawing. It was a lovely dream x I hope you are well

I have endometriosis with recurring endometriomas which put me in hospital multiple times & in surgery under general 3x between 2017-2018. Taking selfies & generally documenting my time in hospital became an important part of the process for me. Especially the F-you endo selfie.pic.twitter.com/IoV7gdtmvR

Ah, I love those photos! Have adenomyosis and had an op to remove a load of polyps, so know the feeling. And I HATE the hand sticker in that ohoto, always gives me a rash (yes that’s blood on the gown)pic.twitter.com/4BMSKUglal
