I've just read this excellent piece of #GraphicMedicine by Alanah Knibb & Omatola Thomas about early onset Parkinson's, the importance of building community, & how knowledge & understanding of the disease is different across communities.

Cover of comic has portrait of Thomas with a net of brain sensors attached like an ordornment.

Some thoughts:

1. Learning better self-care, e.g. boundaries for stressful people and events, can do a lot to prevent unnecessary stress and aid recovery.

2. Our mental and physical health need good quality nutrition, sunlight and exercise .

3. Cutting sugar and over-processed food for 6 - 10 days improves our gut health immediately, improving general physical and mental health, or longer for long-term health issues.

I think in order to feel #DisabilityPride, a person needs to have a workable answer to this question: What does it mean to believe in oneself _and_ accept one's own limitations?

How do YOU relate to the things you're bad at but have to do anyway? Or the things you feel judged for not being able to do at all?

See the (free!) #Patreon post for this:

A short journal comic in black ink and colored pencil on white paper. At the top, a narration box outlined in black and shades of green and yellow reads, "Recognizing I can't do something feels like admitting FAILURE without even TRYING." Below this is a drawing of a woman from the torso up. She has light brown hair and is wearing glasses and holding her chin thoughtfully in one hand. A colorful speech bubble above and to the left of her reads, "What does it mean to Believe in Oneself and accept one's own limitations? What does that Look like? How does it work? How do I learn this? Can I learn this?" The comic is signed "Akire Bubar" by the artist in the bottom left corner.

Being #disabled does NOT make a person pathetic! Aw HELL no. But the cultural messages say otherwise & I'm really struggling with *feeling* pathetic, worthless, etc. I don't think we can talk about #DisabilityPride without also talking about #DisabilityShame.

Read more about this (free!) on #Patreon, with links to other free posts & comics about being disabled:

patreon.com/posts/journal-comi

A comic describing the struggle to accept limitations imposed by disabilities while still believing in oneself as strong & capable. Lettering in the top left corner reads, "Where I'm At:". To the right & a little lower black handwriting reads "I keep FIGHTING my disabilities." A text box below outlined in black & shades of blue & purple reads "ACCEPTING that I can't do something feels like the EXACT OPPOSITE of believing in myself." Below this is a ballot. The top reads "VOTE!" in large blocky blue letters. Below this are two options. The top option shows the smiling face of a woman with glasses & long straight light brown hair. The text reads, "YAY ME! I'm strong & competent & AWESOME!" The box to the left is unchecked. The second option below shows the same woman's face but wearing a dejected expression. The text reads "BOO ME! I'm disabled, drop a LOT of balls & am totally PATHETIC." The box to the left of this bears a large red check mark. Below & to the left we see the torso of a man with short brown hair. His t-shirt reads "Voice of Reason". A speech bubble shows him to be saying "You're DISABLED! You need to work WITH your limitations!" To the left a blue arrow points down to a drawing of the woman from the chest up. She has her hands clamped over her ears & her eyes squeezed shut. A speech bubble to the right shows her to be saying, "LA LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU LA LA LA LA LA LA!" The comic is signed "Akire Bubar" by the artist in the bottom right corner.

Hello everyone
Just noticed it’s my 1st anniversary on Mastodon. There doesn’t seem to be much to celebrate at the moment, but Mastodon is a reminder humans are good, curious, intelligent, witty, creative, supportive and on the whole very lovely.
Thanks for being here.
If anyone wants to say hello, I’m a media professor interested in #comics and #GraphicScience and #GraphicMedicine in particular. I’m currently writing a book on comics and #communication. Glad I found this place. 🙏🏼
