30 Scottish disabled nerd joining because twitter is going very downhill. Love GO, DW, and OFMD, among other things

I know it's #TIC7 weekend, I've been following the build-up etc. But it just doesn't feel like it. I'm not as excited as previous years... Is it because last year I went in person and this year I'm "just" online? Because the finale has aired and everything that followed? Because it's the last one?

I can't take part in the group fun leading up to The Ineffable Con 7, but I've managed to squeeze in my own version of GO fun while in Arbroath for a few days. I've seen dolphins, had an Arbroath smokey crepe, and had an icecream Sunday with shortbread and toffee sauce.

I dearly wished I could change the past. Well, I can’t, but I can change the present, so that when it becomes the past it will turn out to be a past worth having. Sir Terence David John Pratchett

Remember folks, if a transphobe questions your gender in a restroom, that's sexual harrassment. If they deliberately touch you in any way that's assault. Both are threatening behaviours. This applies to everyone (not just trans + people).

I became disabled at 22. If I had £1 for every time someone asked me "what happened to you?" or similar while using my crutches instead of my chair I would've been able to cover the £350 I spent on wheelchair repairs last month. A young adult on crutches doesn't always equal a temporary injury

Disability is not reserved for the elderly. Many young people are disabled. It is ablelism to invalidate their lived experience.
