For disabled people in the UK: you may have come across locked disabled toilets requiring a Radar Key. The keys are £6.50, including delivery, & there is no gatekeeping. If you consider yourself disabled you can get one.

It's really made a difference to me at times, particularly when all toilets have been locked but I could at least use the Radar Key toilet.

You can buy them from Disability Rights UK

It's Disability Pride Month, but honestly—I'm angry.

I use the elevator due to Long Covid, and I still get comments like "Just one floor? Take the stairs." Mostly from older, white, male coworkers outside my team. My direct colleagues get it. Others? Not so much.

Invisible disabilities are real. I'm tired of justifying my needs.

If you've faced this or have tips on handling it, please share.

I wish I could actually feel like I had energy for once--I feel like what I really need is a day to not exist outside of me space, but I don't see that coming any time soon, because the minute I think I'm gonna MAYBE be able to get it, I'm suddenly needed for something. I wish it weren't so hard to get ONE DAY of not being needed. actuallyautistic@a.gup.pe icon ActuallyAutistic group

Sometimes the dog barks out of fear and self-preservation, not aggression. Sometimes people aren't as they seem. What if someone needed your help, but they seemed a little scary? This is another of the stories from Exile.
