I have an original series called Josef and Sauer which I'll share about if I'm not infodumping about a special interest.

Main comfort characters are Medic, Mirror Man, Spamton, Jack Walten, Tony the clock, tlt Drunk Guy, Tim Wright (Marble Hornets), my tf2 ocs, and my Josef and Sauer characters (Mainly Josef, Sauer, Cain, and Katz).

We need to talk about the ableism in tumblr’s activist community.

In any activist blog I follow not run by a disabled person, these things tend to crop up.

-mocking politicians by calling them senile, crazy, narcissistic, etc. Especially old ones. This teams up with tumblr’s attitude of suspicion towards anyone older than their mid-twenties to create some ugly ableist statements. Call an asshole an asshole, call incompetence incompetence, call willful ignorance willful ignorance. Stop using disability as shorthand for “bad”.

-putting empathy. on a pedestal. Empathy is just the ability to feel what another person feels. It is a morally neutral quality. But people will talk about someone who did something horrific, such as not wearing a mask in public, and say that they have no empathy. You have no idea if they have empathy. What they clearly don’t have is concern for other human beings, which is a very different thing.

-derailing conversations about our tragedies. This mainly happens around sterilization with the intention of eugenics. Yes, these programs have always had a racist base, but they have also always had overtly ableist justifications. They are aimed at both POC and disabled people, especially disabled POC. These tragedies belong to both of us.

-treating outrage/real world action/donations as the only valid methods of activism.These are both incredibly draining, and often the second one is barred to us through inaccessible locations/lack of accessibility options, and the third by the fact that medical treatment, if we can get it, is expensive. Educating when we can, sticking up for our rights, just staying alive in a world that sees us as burdens- these are all valid methods of activism, and you’re not a bad person for only being able to do even those some of the time.

-not treating disability as an intersectional issue. Disability is treated like a design feature, like blond hair or long nails, not like a part of our identity. I specifically see this a lot with discussions of disabilities relating to the reproductive system. They are lumped under reproductive issues, which are further lumped under women’s issues, when the goal of many disabled people whose disability affects their reproductive system is just to be taken seriously and to stop hurting. Yes, women with these issues are ignored a lot, but not all of these people are women, and the goal is more aligned with the general goals of disability rights than those of women’s rights.

-speaking of which, many abled activists boost disability positivity, but not disability rights. I can count on one hand the posts about disability rights I’ve seen from abled people. And even the disability positivity is limited. Most of it centers around less stigmatized (on Tumblr) mental illnesses such as depression and anxiety, and neurodivergencies such as autism and ADHD. I am not saying to stop that, I am saying that A) think about why those posts don’t include mental illnesses like schizophrenia and the cluster b personality disorders, B) think about why they don’t include physical disabilities, and C) consider boosting our voices, history, and struggles as well as “ADHD WLW should all have a great day!” Because really, they deserve to.

Other disabled people are welcome to chip in and add their experiences and insight.

Ableds are free to reblog this, but this is a post about disabled struggles and frustrations. This is a post about feeling ignored, invisible, and talked over. Consider this post before you add to it.
