No, really — and not for the reason you think. ⠀ Greece has a habit of calling everyday conveniences as “disability accessible” to schlep off actually making something accessible. So when a beauty brand or “accessibility advisor” insisted that pharmacies are a natural home of disabled beauty, normalising constraint, and forcing this lack of options into a cultural quirk... I eventually HAD to talk about it when that reality hit...thanks to THIS lipstick purchase! I unleashed on my Substack because I know you're thirsty for the full ableist tea! But tell me!!! Do pharmacies count as accessible beauty… And, more importantly, how excited are you to see this swatch!!! #disabledbeauty #ableism #disabilityculture #beautycommunity #accessibilitymatters #greekculture #pharmacylife

Some days I’m serving full-on Liv St Pyjamas™. Cosy, stretchy, soft, accessible. Comfort isn’t a moral failing. Sometimes it’s the only thing standing between me and a fatigue flare that wipes out a whole weekend. But I’d be lying if I said I don’t miss the ✨drama✨ Layers. Silhouettes. Tight dresses. Men’s shirts, short skirts (oh-wah-ah-oh!). Because let’s be honest: the most extravagant, extroverted outfits usually come with a quiet undercurrent of physical discomfort. Sure, part of that is the patriarchy insisting femme fashion is for viewing, not living in. But sometimes something is just pretty and absolutely NOT built for comfort. Lie to me. Tell me a 10kg wedding dress was designed for your lumbar health. ???????? And when you’re disabled, those tiny discomforts get loud. Magnified. Dealbreakers. It’s disappointing. It’s annoying. But… Naming the limitations, the fatigue, the sensory irritation, the weight, the dexterity issues, the damn zips, gives us space to innovate. To imagine what’s next. To push for fashion that’s dramatic and wearable, theatrical and accessible, expressive and survivable. I’ll keep choosing ease when I need to. Comfort without apology. And I’m also watching the horizon for designers creating accessible style that doesn’t sacrifice identity, drama, or physical or economic health. We all deserve rhinestones, silhouettes, big-girl fashion dreams, just built in ways our bodies can actually inhabit. Accessible style isn’t a compromise. It’s the future. #disabledfashion #accessiblefashion #adaptivefashion #disabledandstylish #chronicallycute #chairstyle #fashionaccessibility

Of all the things I won't talk about anymore on here, you might be surprised that the medical side (diagnostics, trials, treatments) of MND/ALS is off the table for me. If you're looking for it? There are some INCREDIBLE advocates operating in that capacity and they do it amazingly! @rarewithmikey @limpbroozkit @heralsstory And many MANY more. There are support services and organisations too for more general enquiries like @als @mndscotland @mndassoc @hoponacure I confess I DID feel that maybe this was something I could find strength in the public vulnerability of in the past, and gave it a bit of a try, but it is not something I can manage, something I enjoy, or something that gives me enthusiasm. And I won't affect interest to please others or conform to their idea of advocacy. On the ground accessibility, curiosity in disability adaptation, working towards mental wellbeing and better mental health, and safeguarding of self-care and self-expression? That's me. I am slowly moving through my content to weed out the overtly medical transparent because it causes both me, and others anxiety. And it makes me a target for communication I am not knowledgable with, skilled at, or comfortable in undertaking (especially not at random). The suggestions that it is Lyme, the requests to delve into the traumatic diagnosis journey, the insistence (sometimes emotionally manipulative demands) that I help diagnose someone over the internet; it is not what I want this space to be about. Feel free to unfollow. EDIT: THIS WAS MY REPLY AFTER REPETED ATTEMPTS TO OBTAIN MY DIAGNOSIS DETAILS/TRAUMA, ADVISE ON TREATMENT, TALK ABOUT TRIALS, AND MEDICAL IMPACT ON MY BODY WITH ME REPEATEDLY SETTING THE SAME BOUNDARY. #alert #PSA #itsnotme #itsnotwhoiam #themedicalbit #sorry

Last November cracked my life wide open. This November, I’m still standing; louder, dare I say smarter, and somehow softer in the right places. I left Greece alone for three months. I hit a depression so heavy it left fingerprints. My body shifted, scraped, dragged, and dropped in ways I wasn’t ready for. We got denied a marriage visa. Opportunities that *should* have lifted me instead tried to shrink me. And still...I rose. Not neatly. Not gracefully. But deliberately. I’m home. I’m married. I’m writing again. I'm creating from my bare bones. I’m building a life that fits my disability, my illness *and* my ambition, not one that forces me to perform resilience or warmth for scraps. More centred. More open. More purposeful. More powerful. If you’re new, welcome in. If you stayed...you good? Good. Thank you for witnessing the whole damn arc. #disabledcreators #disabilityadvocate #lifewithals #chronicillnesscommunity #healingjourney #rebuildingmyself #fuals

...still less than one star! When a medical appointment starts to derail, you feel it. That slow slide from “we’re getting somewhere” to “do you know why you'reeven here, never mind me!?” Huge shoutout to @chronically_kiera for being fiercely vocal about patient advocacy and always bringing invaluable knowledge and advice to the forefront. We deserve healthcare that listens, not dismisses. #patientadvocacy #chronicillness #medicalgaslighting #disabledanddetermined #healthcareawareness #neurologist #neurology #itwasntanxiety #assessment #relationships
