I keep searching 4 some kind bootlegger who's uploaded Last Leg in Paris, but have not been successful yet. But the search did turn up this reaction video from someone in the UK who recently became disabled.
I'm in the position of being critical of a lot of things around the Paralympics that I'm also critical of in mainstream sports culture, but I also look forward to Ch 4 coverage because it's so different from US coverage.
Christian Glass with another innocent person killed by police. When his vehicle got stranded in the Rocky Mountains, he thought the police would help him. The story of what happened and updates on the trials of those responsible.
Finally got dr permission for IV magnesium. I don’t absorb it any other way so I am extremely deficient in it and ill. Can provide materials.
Problem is that I can’t find anyone to come out here in suburbia for less than $600 (check cost of wellness clinics in Melbourne. Expensive or don’t do at all. )
If you are a #nurse#phlebotomist#hcw or have any experience running a drip, please reply/DM. I don’t care if you learned it DIY as long as you know what you’re doing.
This treatment changes my life from bedridden to 60% of normal in a few months! That’s mildly ill in comparison.
It helps every symptom I have.
Hospitals only give it for preeclampsia. Hospital in the Home is the same. Private nurse services same.
It’s so basically going through proper channels doesn’t help.
It’s not illegal to have someone qualified come out and do it as long as doc has signed off on it which is why wellness clinics can do it. But medical system won’t. I know it doesn’t make sense but it’s Australia 2024. If you don’t have formal qualifications we can figure it out.
I’ve even asked the government for help. Nothing.
Was informed even private insurance wouldn’t help with this (I don’t have it ofc but this is an example of how hard and stupid this is.)
P-l-e-a-s-e post to other platforms. I have no team to help promote me I barely have any energy for basics . I have no energy to advertise. If you can help an team also let me know.
Please give me some quality of life.
I’m in #Melbourne#Australia.
If you’re willing to drive a distance will compensate for petrol and pay what you think is fair for your time.
TLDR: Need nurse or any qualified healthcare worker to come to my place to give magnesium IV.
Even consider unqualified if you know what you’re doing.
Happy Labor Day. For all the disabled workers, legally being paid a dollar or two an hour, hang in there. Change could be around the corner. Today's blog installment is about wage exploitation of the disabled by corporations and the federal government.
Justice for Elijah McClain?
Today is a somber, but very important anniversary. Five years ago today, someone who's been a hero to me for all that time, was tragically stolen from the world. I reported on this story last year. This is the complete story of Elijah McClain. If you never heard of him, the story is worth reading. He will always be remembered.

A PANORAMIC LOOK AT INTIMACY in many varieties, from sex to romance to family to caregiving to community solidarity to self love, comes in this beautifully curated collection of prose, poetry, and visual images from people with disabilities. A MINUS
In honor of the Paris 2024 Paralympics, we're highlighting Crip Camp!Our Crip Camp film guides are great for teaching about the Disability Rights movement, Disability Pride, and also ableism and language.
Love the #Disability representation: Archer is mute - doesn’t speak, uses sign language to communicate. This helps in his relationship with Bree, who learned sign language from her dad, who was deaf (CODA).
At 14, he is still figuring out how to live a normal life after the crash, how to communicate with people, and get them to actually listen to him, notice him, see him as a person. (So hard, especially as a kid!)
Feels alone, isolated, worthless b/c he can’t speak due to the crash
"In the first of his columns during the Paralympics, Ade Adepitan argues that improved performances at Paris 2024 will only highlight the lack of change for disabled people in society"
