Zebra Pig: Recent Episodes

Jacqueline Taylor

I'm a nerdy pig with EDS, which also makes me a zebra. I talk about my journey through chronic illness; sharing some of my personal struggles and victories as well as just the day to day grind. I discuss my philosophy regarding chronic illness management and coping. I'm a mother, a wife, a nurse, a patient, a creator and a writer. I wear a lot of hats. I have a long list of diagnoses, but that's kinda how the EDS thing works. I'm neurodivergent. Welcome to my ramblings. Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/zebra-pig/support

Neurodivergents are the canary in the coal mine. Accommodating the neurodivergent's needs isn't about accommodating something special or weird. It's about making sure that our environments are human friendly. When we make sure that the neurodivergent person can thrive in an environment, we are also making sure that the neurotypical can as well. Everyone benefits from having a better and healthier environment.

This is also a blog which you can read here:

Choosing not to be vaccinated is not just about choosing to put yourself at risk. It is putting everyone who has any medical need at risk as well. As more unvaccinated individuals get sick with Covid, services of all kinds become less available for everyone. Please, get vaccinated if medically possible. Please, wear masks when you are out in public. Please, stay home whenever possible and limit your contact with others as much as possible. The only way that we can end this pandemic is to follow these three rules: 1. Vaccinate, 2. Mask and 3. Socially Distance.
