I made this video as I have seen a gigantic rise in #discrimination against people with #mentalhealth issues on the #maga side of the fence, who will constantly accuse me of faking #tourettes syndrome for money.

It's already a problem, and has gotten worse.

We can be accidentally funny, and people think we are quirky so it's faked a lot for views.

I always just say "if anyone would like proof, I have the papers from my last hospital stay!"

A little #rant I posted on #scoopz as I get dumb comments on #disability related videos that I should JUST GET A JOB cuz I am fit and young looking.

Finding a job with severe #tourettes motor tics is dumb and I hate it, because most people assume I am on drugs or something, and will ask during the interview, then get embarrassed and never call me back.

Or just think I am insane and strange, hiring someone else more "normal,".

I never understood why grandpa always preferred sandals, and cut holes in the top of his shoes for "breathing" and hated hot feet.

I didn't know why mom hated heels, and loved being barefoot and having minimal shoes, and often went barefoot outside.

I grew up and my #tourettes worsened for a bunch of reasons.

Hot feet make them cramp/spasm up randomly more, and I prefer very thin slip ons myself, and breathable socks.

I also like #sensory of the world.

Well I'm about to make a lot of money, and make an EXAMPLE.

I need lawyer for patient abuse.

One of the supervisors just wrote me up for having #tourettes and then called me a liar for like 10 minutes and told me I needed a better facility.

Soul Housing Recuperative Care, 1540 S Saint Andrews Pl #losangeles

I have a mountain of evidence for me and other people. I record.

It will be money for any #lawyers here.

I'm making a documentary too.

The older I get, the more #medicine I have.

List of my daily meds-

600 MG #GabAPentin x3 for seizures, #tourettes tic calming, muscle spasms, nerve damage, and sleep.

15 MG #buspirone x3 for severe #ptsd and panic/anxiety disorders.

Albuterol for #asthma.

#Guanfacine for #adhd and could help other issues, new.

#hydroxizine for sleep.

#flonase for nose

I realize now I should have had these 20+ years ago, and always had these issues.

I MADE A #gofundme O.o!!!

I am expecting nothing.

I am passionate about letting people see #poverty.

The inconvenient truth that #people #suffer EVERY DAY.

#society literally just abandoned them and it HORRIFIES me. #uspol

So I will speak and use this gift of #tourettes and being able to endlessly speak, and write to our advantage.

I just want to #help and that is all.

Shun me if I am lying about that.

I'd like you to share it :)

I've thought long and hard about this.

I built a #socialmedia presence to protect myself.

To seek #justice and speak out about what my father did to our #family and #poverty.

He #abused a woman with #tourettes into insanity, abused me into insanity and we were never the same.

Kidnapped me. Drove me to #idaho after I busted my hip and was staying with him in #seattle and was delusional, couldn't consent.

Jesse Hires - He works for #microsoft as a build engineer.

The luck it took to create my particular form of #tourettes is absolutely insane.

I thought it came from my mom's side.

Grandpa had it in retrospect, we're the same person. It's recessive and on the X chromosome.

Boys ALWAYS give it if a girl, my mom. She can ONLY give it. So I was predisposed. Grandma carried it.

My dad's family is the same story I'm finding. Grandma probably had Tourettes, and my dad's in denial.

I lost the #genetics lottery SO HARD.

My entire life I thought I was suffering from #migraine headaches constantly.

#medication does not help them at all which was confusing to me, until I started trying to talk to other people online with severe #tourettes and saw a few TV interviews where they described a similar problem.

They aren't migraines. They're my nervous system freaking out from suppression of tics too much, and look similar.

They are happening less the more I learn to relax in public.

My blood is absolutely boiling right now.

I had a guy shout at me on a bus.

I don't look #disabled as I very fit, and #healthy externally.

I use disability seats on buses occasionally, cuz when I am stressed my motor tics with #tourettes make both gripping, and balancing difficult. Crowds, AND NOISE stresses me out.

A middle aged guy started demanding my seat cuz I was young, and almost got eaten alive by 50 people when he didn't know what a "Turrets" was.

I have noticed something with my #tourettes #tics now that can fully relax and stop suppressing them.

I often do when stressed even alone, and causes me pain, so I have been #learning to relax.

I always have one of my arms up. I put one down, the other tics up, without fail.

My left hand is more intricate and detailed in its movements/tics when up, more gentle.

The right hand wants to fling about and be POWERFUL and POINT.

My mood influences which hand I tic with

I made a simple #video and all I did was cut out the #audio and replace it with the #music I was listening to while I played with my hands and they #dance away.

My #tics never end, but I can suppress them for a time. Music aligns them because #synethesia makes me feel sound, and plays with my tics.

If I just #relax they'll do this all day and it feels amazing. Almost like endlessly stretching.

I'm at #peace if you ever see me just #dancing away.

If you're ever staring at someone with #tourettes doing movements or sounds, or any number of things, we don't mind. It's just our reality and we realize people are gonna be curious and there is nothing bothersome to me at least.

We know though. Even if we act like we don't.

I rarely look at strangers directly cuz I usually flitch or tic. Eye contact is really intense for me with strangers.

I look at people with my peripherals first, and I see everything.

I'll just let these #pictures speak for themselves.

I'll start adding #alttext soon for those of you who cannot see very well as someone recommended that.

I am exhausted and #learned a ton.

Set a lot up. Wrote a lot of things. Talk to many people.

It's rare when someone with #tourettes doesn't have much to say, and that's amazing, because I'm at #peace and feel I #worked more today than I have in a decade.

Oh damn, I did have things to say!

My mom never knew her and I had #tourettes and called the way we moved, and all the extra little details #spice cuz we didn't know why.

We were just compelled to do these things.

She didn't care why.

She didn't care what you thought either.

Her body was ENERGY, and she was the sassiest woman. Swinging her arms, and snapping like a firecracker, and moving strangely was HER.

She told me-

"You got snips and snails boy, but I gave you spice too,"

A #video #rant about how people look at me all the time anyway.

I have #tourettes and constant motor tics, and talk to myself constantly, and occasionally say random things I am thinking out loud.

I'm very weird. So people stare. Kinda hard to miss a six foot tall person wearing bright colors, who's doing weird stuff all the time.

So how is it any different now that I am doing #photography and #recording it?

It's not.

Try it yourself :)
