I really wish waterparks were more accessible

I fucking love water slides but damn climbing those stairs to get to the slide absolutely kills me

I just want to enjoy a good water slide without having to kill myself to get to it damnit

#disabled people deserve to have fun too #disabled #actually disabled #disabled life #disabled lives are worth living #physical disability #disabilties #water park #water slide #wisconsin dells

activism achievement unlocked: having to sit through the promotion of an organisation when their founder refused to acknowledge their faults and continued to bully you. but i didn’t cry!! 

#disabled lives are worth living

[lgbtlunaverse]

"Nie Mingjue would still have died young even if Jin Guangyao hadn't killed him" Not as in "So it's fine to kill him because people who won't live for much longer have obviously already forfeit their lives" (what) But as in "If you don't get that Nie Mingjue has had an inevitable young and violent death hanging over him since he was a young teenager and has embraced it you can't fully understand his character"

#mdzs #nie mingjue #i do not wish to be misconstrued on this #because the first interpretation might genuinely be my least favorite nmj take #because it has so much baggage in regards to the actual real life murder of disabled people. most often by their caretakers!! #and the reaction to it from public the media and the justice system is overwhelmingly 'oh well that wasn't a life worth living anyway' #'plus they were SO hard to take care of rlly if you think about it the murderer is the victim here that must've been so hard for them' #and these characters aren't real. nmj isn't actually dead he was never alive. but i really hope that take is no one's actual view on life #but from a purely story-perspective i also hate the 'everything would've been fine if not for jiggy' takes #STOP MAKING THE BLORBO UNINTERESTING BY OUTSOURCING ALL HIS ISSUES!! THOSE ARE /HIS/ LET HIM KEEP THEM

Death to the trope of rewarding disabled characters with an abled body. Death to the trope that a disabled body is a punishment, a sight, something to shame and be ashamed of.

#disability #ableism #ableism tw #i can appreciate different themes with regards to how we relate to/with disablity and disabling events... #...but i cannot get behind the idea that a disabled body is a punishment or a horrific thing y'know... #...my life is worth living as a disabled person. people with even more disabling things/more disabled experiences have lives worth living.. #...and it's so hard to stomach sometimes knowing that there's a non-insignificant number of people who disagree #i'm just so frustrated with this 'trope' and i've been ranting at my dad for two days now about how much i hate it #thank you to my dad for letting me rant and rave at him :) (lighthearted and genuine)

Being chronically ill is so fun because I’ll go to the doctor and they’re like great so let’s just double check your kidneys aren’t shutting down yet, oh damn forgot you have to get your tuberculosis test.

I’m fucking over here worrying about fucking consumption like some Victorian child or tragic soprano in a Puccini opera because I’m immunocompromised, while y’all are raw dogging covid world not giving a fuck about wearing masks or taking any precautions, y’all said fuck these disabled people and their stupid little lives.

I’m so sick of this shit.

My own fucking family doesn’t even care enough about my health to take precautions so I have to isolate and quarantine in my own fucking home.

Fuck every one of you that thinks your convience is worth more than disabled people’s lives.

#wear a fucking mask #I’m so fucking tired of y’all #fuck everything #sorry I think disabled peoples lives are actually inherently worth something #physically disabled #chronic illness #Covid safety #disability #disability rights #immunocompromised

okay last twilight is good and enjoyable everyone was right; but I am slightly worried with the surgery talk that it might turn out to be a 'happy ending because the disabled character gets cured' story and I think that's possibly the biggest disservice they can do to Day's story and the rep we all deserve

#last twilight #last twilight the series #particularly because it seems to be going for 'learn life is still full and worth living and you are still a complete human being even #if you have a disability' lesson for day and i think thats beautiful #and very needed #so i hope they dont use the potential surgery as his happy ending #you don't need to be 'fixed' to be happy pls #someone tell me spoilers that this isnt the case but it seems like they do know what theyre doing and i want to have faith #but also its still gmmtv

saw bears in trees yesterday, v happy :)

every moonbeam ! every feverdream !

#p #bears in trees #gig #live music #memories #am tired and achey today but it’s always worth it!!! gigs as a disabled person are tricky but I hope I’ll always be able to despite pain #anyway. it was perfect and I felt a wholeness that I’ve needed to feel. so happy to be been there :) #mine

I am totally biased but, the side eye by Erskine 😂

To be fair, she did hire Zola- so there's a big chance Erskine saw the red flags.

gunna have to start asking people not to jumpscare me like this

“oh, adhd is a different ability, hyperfixating is like a superpower”

me, who just hyperfixated on something for 6.5 hours and is only just making food at 12.04am: ah yes, my favourite superpower, unintentionally starving myself

Haha my bad, I have $30 for the rest of the month. 8)

#for real you don't know how bad it is living on social security #and at this time I don't even have the skills to apply for part time work #which I will be immediately rejected for because algorithms hate disabled people #not that I can do the heavy lifting or man the cash register that is the bare bones requirement of entry level work #boy this BA in special education and most of an MA sure were worth the time huh? #anyway let me know how you're surviving on $950 a month if you're about to say I'm just bad at money #you have to have money to be bad at it first 8) #razz rambles #trying to pay down $2.5k credit debt when you have to keep using your credit card to live really sucks

The Louder It Will Scream

Caption:

Panel 1:

Wafers: Damn knee…can’t move around anymore…

Panel 2

Wafers: Well damn, can’t slow down now, I just need some elbow grease and push through it now. I’m a Shroob, I can push through all.

Panel 3

Old Toad: Absolutely not!

Panel 4

Old Toad: I see how you push yourself. Each time you do, your body degrades and is in more pain. The pain isn’t your body being weak, it’s your body telling you to stop ignoring it.

Panel 5:

Wafers: You get to relax here. I had to work.

Panel 6:

Old Toad: But you’re not on your planet. You’re on Earth now, you have what you need. You need rest.

Panel 7:

Old Toad: Your body, the more you ignore it…

Panel 8

Old Toad: the louder it will scream…

and the screams will become unbearable

Panel 9

Will you shut your trap if I do what you say?

Panel 10

*Wafers is resting on a hammock while the Old Toad is content that his warnings were heeded even if Wafers didn’t appear to care*

#mario and luigi #wafers #partners in time #art #shroobs #toad oc #Wafers (OC) #shroob oc #Shroob sona #I have struggled with something similar where I had to learn to not push myself past the breaking point #And to listen more to my body before I wear myself out #Since we live in a society that values productivity over simply living #Wafers is in her thirties #While thirty range is quite young #Wafers is starting to feel the aftereffects of pushing her body in her twenties #She will need to find a way of existence that isn’t bent on physical movement #disability tag #I put that there since learning one’s boundaries and respecting them is crucial to being safe as a disabled person #Someone is not worth less if they push their bodies and become disabled #Or if they’re disabled and push their body beyond limits to appeal to ableist standards #After all the capitalist society we live in won’t slow down for our needs even if we break down but still need money #It’s a fucked up system #While Earth is quite bad the Mushroom Kingdom is a much more loving and forgiving place #While the Shroob planet is militant and hellbent on productivity #I kinda envision the struggles on Earth to be similar to Planet Shroob #At least in terms of demanding undying loyalty strength conformity and sacrifice #Since Shroob culture values the wants of leaders more than the needs of citizens #For the record I don’t want to disrespect real problems we face in our day to day lives #Im just making headcanons about Shroobs

Look, if you've encountered a disabled person's life or living standards and you personally don't like it, the least you can do is not saying "I'm so grateful I don't like like that" or worse "I'm so glad I'm not you"

It is actually incredibly simple to simultaneously not center yourself and the way you aren't disabled or the way your disabilities don't impact your life like others and to not shame and humiliate others. It's sometimes okay to keep comments like that inside your mind, where it won't hurt that person.

#disability #disability advocacy #ableism #ableism tw #especially applies to disabled people who physically cannot clean or mentally ill people #like at a certain point you don't choose to live in a certain way. especially if it is a situation you do not like. #like for instance a depressed person often might get so unwell they don't take care of ANYTHING... #...and when you want to quite literally die... it's hard to be clean and tidy and presentable #but like that's just a wild example that obviously never happens (sarcasm) #i'm just so fucking tired of seeing this shit and seeing the people saying that shit facing no challenge... #...because i think a lot of people agree with the general idea of 'if i wouldn't live like you... #...'maybe your life isn't worth living (because i have deemed it so)' and like. holy shit man it's bleak and depressing #i understand the impulse to judge and that is neither good nor bad. what IS bad is doing THAT shit #if you're judging somebody that isn't always a terrible response. but if you're kicking somebody while they're down that... #...says something about you i think

[akindplace]

I think somethings many disabled people want others to understand, especially doctors/therapists/nurses is that it's not up to someone else to disagree on how much our disabilities affect our lives and how much it hurts and how tiring it is to be us. It is not up to other people to determine if it is a big deal or not. You can disagree about how painful it might be, but don't force that opinion on another person. Respect disabled people when they say they can't do something, and insisting that they do it will not help them have a "breakthrough". You can't bully someone into being healthy when they literally can't.

You know maybe all this pain is worth it, just to be in his arms for even a moment

#wrenfea.exe #its disabled love hours everyone #went to my favorite fast food place (hangry joes) and then went to the movies to watch the boy and the heron #Then we came back and cuddled and other “things” till he had to leave #my cats also love him and will go up to him for pats #he really tries to be respectful of my disabilities and when he messes up he learns from it #he helps me apply my pain cream and makes sure i drink lots of water #i cant wait to live with this man #and just be one happy family (me and him and my cats and maybe a dog) #i was so stressed about the insurance stuff but spending time with him made me feel all better #its worth it to keep living to keep moving forward #because I have him #chronic disability #chronic pain #spoonie #disability #chronic illness

my therapist telling me that i’m smart, i have immense potential, and that she genuinely believes that i can add something to this world is just… man. stuff you need to hear for real 😭

#she’s so understanding and kind. #my situation is extremely unique so i sometimes wonder if i’m even making progress as it’s been slow-going but. #she said that i’m really coming around and i am most certainly not a lost cause. #it’s really been hard. i’m sickly and disabled and i don’t have a lot of money coming in as of writing & it oftentimes feels hopeless #i’m in a bad domestic situation and it feels like i’ll be trapped forever but #i want to have the faith that it won’t be like this forever & there’s still a chance for me. i can find a place for myself eventually #even if i’m just living out of spite it’s better than giving up entirely #sometimes it doesn’t feel worth it but at the very least i’m too stubborn to let the people who’ve put me down get the better of me #riley rambles
