In any era the theme isn't theain problem. Let's start with the word "breastaurant." In a world where people need a job enough to have to use their bodies for leverage, #MeToo isn't the thing in the way.

Updating Twitter disability hashtag thread.

@AllisonR has educated me that I should use Sentence Case for #Accessibility. Graphic reads: # symbol followed by the word Hashtag in white lettering on a blue background. I have #brainfog so I know I missed someone. Please add your favorite resources as a reply.

Mayne I forgot the code mayne.

Too paranoid to unlock my phone with my face. My mother's chain mail game is strong. I can't buy phones they open with my face cuz I might be beheaded.

I guess that's what I get for never forwarding these emails.

I know I have real depression. I know this.

Damn if coffee doesn’t help me more than hurt. #myspoons I wonder if getting out of the habit of drinking coffee was a daft choice as a #spoonie with multiple fatigue conditions.

I like #Ifeelbad.

I hate the title. It's also accurate given the explanation.

I love the Indian 1st gen lead. I lover her being an older woman in text. I like the nerds. Did her neighbor just ask her to agitate her compost? I'll fight you. #ifeelbad

Kelleyanne Conway can be a survivor AND have the world's worst take on it.

You can support her, have empathy AND not buy into the BS take. If some person or faction has an agenda? Debate on whether or not to believe her is part of the trick. It's the perfect trap if you can’t see it.

All I did was go to the doctor. Only 700 more steps than a normal day. But when I say I'm exhausted? #fibromialgia I mean my body got to the point where I couldn't make it from my front door to my bedroom. #Fibromyalgia

Should be celebrating a 15 pound weight loss. But in oncology that isn't always a good sign. I'm too raw for this day. I hate being at oncology alone but I have to say everyone tried their best. And is still being supportive from a distance. The kids are home from school.

Survived today. My body let me sleep until afternoon. First time in years I didn’t feel bad about that. First oncology appointment in nine months in the morning. Supposed to be having them monthly. Thanks for nothing grand old poops.

If you’re a survivor and/or have to be on Twitter for work/community?

May I suggest browsing Twitter by lists or hashtags today?

Here’s one based on The top 200 women of color on Twitter.

mobile.twitter.com/tinustuff/list… The #cutebaby hashtag is currently not full of nonsense. Just cuteness.Baby clothes and actual babies. Try the photos tab.

This is heartbreaking. All I can think is how many women he has hurt that are at home too traumatized to do anything but be alive and hope someone else gets Justice on their behalf.

I don't know that this additional allegation means Kavanaugh is toast NOW.

Although I hope so. But it may give us an additional avenue to get him off the bench if he makes it.

He can't judge anything from jail.

He shouldn’t have his life ruined for ruining her life. That’s what they’re saying. And it’s not like all of us are devastated, though given the trauma it’s really okay that some of us are.

I never thought I’d say “a hawk?” This many times in one show.
@#Maniac Also, I really don’t like this title. This is about depression, just partly via various manias, not exclusively.

If it was called Darkness for example, I would be watching on purpose instead of following a preview down a rabbit hole.

I didn’t watch the news for obvious reasons.

Please tag me in broadcasts I missed about #/WhyDidntIReport that were led by Black women, Black men or POC.

As well as if Black women or women of color are featured along with white women or centered in these updates. I’m looking on my own of course but would greatly appreciate your help.

CW: News coverage of sexual assault via #WhyDidntIReport hash.

This is a great start.

Excellent lead in @Lawrence. However. I would like to see more black women and women of color in this coverage, given the demographics of our country.

Does he... know which Negro is Dr. King? Because I think he got him mixed up with another person. Maybe not even somebody black. someone with a Mediterranean tan.

There need to be consequence to people selling us down the river. They should have to leave the US in shame.

All of their business endeavors should fail. They should be shunned by everyone who values truth & justice. I want them to suffer in equal porportion to how they are ruining America & Americans.

Their names should only be mentioned as the attempted harbingers of the darkest periods of this century.

If it was some other guy, Mike Judge would have knocked down everyone in his path to testify, right away.

Who wouldn’t? Even if it wasn’t about doing the right thing, he’d be a famous guy hero for life. Free drinks forever.
