#PSA: If you, like me, have a heck of a time seeing/finding something in a dark colour, empower yourself with some nail polish!

Nail polish works great on metal and plastic, wears well (and can be touched up) and comes in a zillion colours for either matching or contrast.

#MedicalDevices often seem to be #black by default, and this week I finally got so sick of my #CGM reader getting lost in my bedding and/or anywhere else if I set it down, I made it the equivalent of #SafetyYellow.

(This is colour 010 "Marigold Maven" Ultra HD Snap! by Revlon, in case you are seeking the same.)

Not my best work design-wise but as I still needed to use the CGM reader, time was of the essence!

(Also, the polish had dried out a bit and I dodn't know about #NailPolish #Thinners until yesterday).

A bit of painters tape over the touchscreen, charging port, and fine print on the back and the result is a NON-invisible device!

PLEASE BOOST.

Still new here, and would love some more mutuals with fibromyalgia, cPTSD, BPD, and DID/plurality and other conditions, like me. Disabled gang, let's follow one another and build community!

Q.: Has the Office of Budget Responsibility wilfully removed the presentation of data on benefits that have been used to demonstrate the the welfare bill is *not* 'spiralling' upwards, or were they put under pressure to remove it by the Govt. to obscure this data, which contradicts the common narrative in Westminster used to justify cuts to welfare benefits (and specifically those helping disabled people live)?

Certainly something is going on....

I'd consider it a bit of a plus if folks would stop using "special needs" to describe needs that people have. Talk about access needs (which everyone has and they all differ from each other) and talk about accessibility, but please don't play along with systemic ableism's constant rhetoric of setting disabled people apart as lesser or "more expensive" than people who are not yet disabled. #Ableism #Disability #Accessibility #a11y

Today (December 3rd) is International Day of People with Disabilities - and so I thought I would share this graphic which emphasises that not all disabilities are visible.

This year's theme is 'fostering disability-inclusive societies for advancing social progress'; which on a purely practical level make sense as so much promise & potential is lost when people with disabilities are excluded or suffer prejudice in the workplace & more widely!

$200 a month? The Inadequate Canada Disability Benefit won’t even buy groceries for a month.

The liberal government promised to lift People Living With A Disability out of poverty. This is another broken promise. #fediverse #canpoli #cdnpoli #disability #humanrights
