#KittenWatches Help (2021)

Help is set in a care home during the first months of the pandemic, in MY city! It capably & heartbreakingly highlights the true damage of ableist #covid policy & omg, it hit my trauma as a care reciever/high risk person painfully, but cathartically!

My review took a very long time to write & was a work of both love & trauma.

Movie poster for Help shows a yellow background with a carer on the top (Jodie Comer) with her mask pulled down under her chin (Her face shows a picture of absolute horror and trauma) and a man underneath. (Stephen Graham) 

The words in the centre say "Help. No one is coming".

#KittenWatches Finding Nemo (through a disability lens)

I've tried to unpack the #disability rep in Finding Nemo & it turned into one of the hugest movie reviews I've written. 😆 It's taken since Sept to write!

Having not 1 but at least *11* characters who're in some way "disabled", Finding Nemo teaches us about disability management, acceptance & how harmful ableism is.

Movie poster for finding Nemo by Disney pixar shows a small orange and white clown fish swimming in a bright blue ocean. He is surrounded by a swirl of fish swimming in a school all around him. Light shines down from the sun above.

Hey, I'm Susannah, a 46yr old femme in the UK. I've been multiply chronically ill for decades, housebound 17yr. I've experienced huge amounts of medical & care trauma.

I'm #EXvangelical, with some trauma relating to the church. Being stuck in the bubble meant I didn't figure out who I was till later in life.

🏳️‍🌈 I officially came out as #kinky, #queer & #polyam in the last few yrs. I consider myself #GenderQueer in some way I don't yet have words for!

Me, a white femme person, lying back in my bed, the camera above me. I'm wearing a black t shirt dress, I'm bald, with strongly arching eyebrows. I'm smiling slightly awkwardly. There's a filter that's added some basic makeup and a few bubbles floating across the screen.

Pls note, I don't always follow back, esp if we are not already talking frequently.

This is partly because I get major overwhelm from following too many ppl. Between my flagging energy & multiple neuro issues, managing social media is difficult for me & I've had to find ways to make it work. Keeping my follow list smaller, helps!

+ I always vet ppl before following, which takes spoons/time!

I am absolutely anti bigotry & I don't follow anyone who is obviously hateful to any minority group!

I'm not going to hold back sharing my trauma & experience. Nor my feelings about ppl/systems causing it.

To do that is a disservice to what I've been through & am going through. I've suffered in silence too often in my life & my voice is stifled enough by society anyway.

I won't tone police myself for ppl who will be merely uncomfortable with or angered by my words.

I *will* CW to protect those also traumatised, when it feels needed.

If any of that's an issue, you're welcome to mute me.
