July is Disability Pride Month, and yeah, I’m a day late bc energy isn’t unlimited and I live in the Disability Time Zone where we get there when we get there, thanks for holding the door 💁‍♀️

If anyone needs me, I’ll be sitting in front of the freezer eating popsicles like it’s my job.

This kind of heat is hard on everyone but for ppl with MS, a symptom called Uhthoff’s phenomenon can really eff you up 🥵

Heat hijacks the MS nervous system turning minor glitches into full-on system failures. It’s not drama. It’s science. 🤔

Stay cool, Trippers. Rest isn’t lazy, it’s survival.
