Guess what I FINALLY FINISHED in Disability Pride Month!! 👀🙌🥳 #DisabledArtist #spoonie #ChronicPain

A digital illustration of the words' disability pride' in block letters with leaf details, surround by a swirl of plant stems, leaves and flowers, as well as a heart 'flower' surrounded by flames. To the right is a rainbow in the colours of the stripes on the disability pride flag, as well as a vertical rainbow stream up to the top of the page. There are large white flowers in the top right in front of a sun. Dotted around the plants and words are stylised sparkles, heart shapes, and lcouds, in pastel rainbow colours. There is a blue border around the outside but some of the leaves, petals, sparkles and rainbow lines break out of it.

Good morning #bluesky flutter friends 🦋 Remember to drink water + try to get some sunlight (or SAD lamp) on you at some point today (if possible). You’re basically a plant but with more complex emotions 😂🌱😆🌿 #wednesday #wednesdaythoughts #spoonie #disabled #bpd #depression #sicknotweak #neisvoid

Don’t forget. Drink water. Get sunlight. You’re basically a houseplant with more complicated emotions.

So dang tired today. I'm dragging. #Spoonie #Disability #NEISvoid (spoon explanation in alt text)

A mug that says, "Out of spoons, but I do have a knife. So, good luck to you."

For those unfamiliar with the spoons example in regards to disability, here's a quick overview of "The Spoons Theory." It originated with Christine Miserandino. She was describing to a friend her experience with lupus, but it's applicable across the board with debilitating conditions and disabilities related to mental and physical health.
People with chronic conditions start off each day with a certain number of spoons. Each activity uses a spoon. For example, my shower today will use a spoon. We often run out out of spoons before we accomplish all that we need to in the day. You can't just generate spoons to accomplish more. However if I push things...I'll have less spoons tomorrow and possibly for the rest of the week. So, people with conditions that exhaust your ability to function often call themselves spoonies. If you're interested in knowing more, a search on "spoon theory" will get you there.

Surgeon says: NO SURGERY! 🎉🎉🎉 We agreed that the risks outweigh any potential benefits. I’ll be fitted with a custom stabilizing brace to wear when I leave the house. I can live with that! #spoonie #chronicpain #chronicillness #totalachillestendonavulsion
