As a wheelchair user I'm trying to reframe my language for "being in the way."

"I'm in the way," "I can't fit," and "I can't go there," is becoming "there's not enough space," "the walkway is too narrow," and "that place isn't accessible."

It's a small change, but to me it feels as if I'm redirecting blame from myself to the people that made these places inaccessible in the first place. I don't want people to just think that they're helping me, I want them to think that they're making up for someone else's wrongdoing. I want them to remember every time I've needed help as something someone else caused.

disabled people who are lifelong, permanent dependents, i love you. you are my friends and my lovers and my siblings and you are me and i am you and i love you.

i'm really despondent sometimes over the ways society sees us. how conservatives see us as burdens and drains on society, yes, and also how liberals mock our lives, how the idea of being an adult dependent is seen solely as the result of poor life choices, how everyone all across the political spectrum sees things like "getting an allowance from your spouse" and "relying on one person for housing" as cause for mockery, jokes to make, nothing but a conceptual stick with which to beat people into performing well in work and school. still others see us as childish, as pitiable, perhaps not as worthy of mockery but definitely not as worthy of being treated as a social equal, never someone you could invite into your social spheres and make an effort to include--they're just not independent, no offense to them, it just makes them so childish, i can't have an adult friendship with them.

but we persist anyway. we're here. i'm lucky to love the people i'm dependent on, i'm lucky that they respect me as a person and would never leverage their power over me, i'm lucky that they're willing to constantly self-check to make sure they're not accidentally using that power. i hope to g-d you're lucky in the same ways, because i love you. and if you're not, i love you. i'm holding your hand and i'm standing with you and i'm going to try to make a better world for both of us.

perfect representation of what it’s like to be bed bound because of chronic illness /disability.

Body horror

I am a cyborg because I’m disabled; metal and gears keep me up and moving

I am a vampire because I’m chronically ill; hungry for the life force coursing through people

I am a mummy because I’m disabled; all bandages holding together a failing body

I am a zombie because I’m disabled; all crawling dragging movements

I am disabled because I’m a human. I am a human because I’m disabled

my body is not horrifying so I am not body horror

I love my cane. It helps me get places and explore the world in a way that's so much more open than it ever could be without it.

That being said

I MISS BEING ABLE TO TEXT AND WALK

visible disability

please remember : I am not trying to divide disabled people . this is just an observation . if you are visibly disabled and have more to add please do .

sometimes , I think about invisible and visible disabilities . how there is often distinctions made between the 2 . but there are different types of visible disability and I think it needs acknowledging . I could be wrong , would like to know what others think .

( type order is random , not based on hierarchy )

first type is visible disability aids that do not attach to the body . things like wheelchair , adaptive equipment , AAC .

second type is disability aids that do attach to the body . things like tube , catheter , trach .

third type is physical differences in behaviour or way of moving . things like dystonia , limp , drooling .

fourth type is physical features on body . things like coarse face features , amputation , scars .

I am saying this because I think my experience as a visibly disabled person ( type 1 and 3 ) is different , often more privilege , than other people . don't have to worry about people pulling out medical devices and cause injury , don't have ' disabled look ' no matter what I do in photos ( a ) . I think there is nuance but nobody I know talks about it and can become confusing when people lump in all visible disabilities because not all experiences the same .

maybe could be nice of someone makes words for them ? not really in to coin terms but if somebody else thinks is a good idea welcome to try it ! think numbers a bit confusing , could make it sound like I am saying one is better or worse than other when I am not trying to .

if you are visibly disabled , what do you think ? is it useful for you or do you think is dividing community ? am open to criticise ( nicely please ) .

( a ) often I look disabled in photos , but is because of my behaviour and when my symptoms not as big and try really really hard can look invisibly disabled in photos . not videos though .

There's a vacant wheelchair accessible government house that has been available since at least last year, maybe longer, during a housing crisis.

Despite asking again and again, I and many others have been deemed "not disabled enough" for disability housing. There are no accessible housing options in the private market.

I'm so angry.

#I checked the squatters rights but they only activate for 15 years??? #despite being on the non disability government housing waitlist for 3 years with no end in sight #I still think we'll have a place in 15 years #even though this house might still be vacant by then tbh #disability #wheelchair user #SDA housing #NDIS #housing crisis #cripple punk

Kill counts on Mobility Aids: cool, funny, fighting back

Kill counts on Cars: stupid, worrying, an actual threat

#I saw a car that had a kill count for wheelchair users pedestrians and cyclists #it really pissed me off #however my powerchair user friend Charlie has added a kill count (people he’s hit) and that’s genuinely funny #as someone who is a mobility aid user and a commuter cyclist I am very vulnerable to cars #I’ve gotten freaking hit by one while riding my bike #it’s not funny or cute to be joking about killing vulnerable road users with your 2+ ton death machine #fm talks #cripplepunk #cpunk #cripple punk #actually disabled #mobility aid user #disability

i read online about a skeleton discovered with disabilities, she was about 20 years old

her teeth were rotten and they believed

the community fed her sweets and dates to keep her happy

a community caring for a disabled life

with such love and care

but im not so sure about it

because my community would sooner see me rot

why does no one talk people with cancer . we talk about how cancer affects someone else . we never seem to touch on who actually fucking has it

i hate my disabilities but oh how i love them. they're part of me and they are me, without them, i would be an entirely different person.

they have caused me pain and suffering but they have also caused me joy, in meeting those that are like me, and helping me find the tiny joys in life that i can magnify.

a very very famous painting was painted next to the river in the woods behind my house and i only found that out because i decided to research my local area even if i could rarely go out into it. how awesome is that???

despite the suffering that my disabilities have caused me, they are a massive part of me and i think of them daily. it's hard to be proud of your disability but i think i'm slowly getting there. :)
