When I say “school should be disability accessible”, I don’t just mean we need handicap rails and EAs. Kids should be able to miss a day without failing out of school. You shouldn’t be dismissed from clubs because your attendance record is “spotty” (true story). I once missed an entire week of school because of a terrible, unending migraine. I was expected to keep up with my studies despite the blinding pain that came with working on my computer. When I heard my teachers say that you couldn’t miss exams, I asked what I would have to do to be excused from them. Their response? “Either get a doctor’s note an hour before the exam or death of an immediate family member.”

I cannot express how rigid this expectation was. First of all, with my condition, I wouldn’t have enough warning about my sickness to go to the doctor and request a note. For many people, this is exceptionally difficult, especially with the current shortage of medical professionals. Next, it ignores the fact that my schedule may not line with theirs because of my medical needs. Once, I had to visit a hospital a province away (which I was on the waiting list of for over a year) on the same day as an exam. I begged my mother not to take me because I was so nervous that I would be marked as an automatic fail. I was lucky enough to make it work, but that’s only because of my spectacular support system consisting of family members and wonderful doctors.

Disabilities aren’t always about needing a bus that can accommodate wheelchairs. It’s already difficult enough for many of us to maintain school attendance without the harsh punishments involved for skipping a day. We need to be able to miss school without being punished. Only than can you claim that the school is “accessible”

#and not to derail but like as an autistic person there are days where I go nonverbal at school and I’m super overstimulated and I just #like have to deal with it cause if I miss I’m screwed

The crazy thing about being mentally ill is when you keep seeing movement just in your peripheral vision and you think “I’ve been pretty stressed, I must be hallucinating again”

…and then next time you get a good look at it and it actually is just. A mouse in your room.

And I really wish it was the hallucinations.

#…ok that one was a hallucination 💀 #I feel great guys don’t worry

it’s actually sick and twisted that harrowhark nonagesimus isn’t the most famous fictional character in the world. no one has ever had the same amount of creepy lesbian swag and no one ever will

I just realized that I could share this flash game ad I saved off of MySpace in like 2005 to tumblr.

It’s so important to me. It makes me feel like I’m losing my mind even after 20 years.

#wow that’s so. um.

Generally I am Good At Reading (™️) but today I was tired and my comprehension was honest to god so bad that I read an entire scene with three (3) characters in it, and I didn’t realize the third character was there until the very end, even though he’s name was directly stated multiple times and he had many lines of dialogue

So we all know that Tumblr is US-centric. But to what degree? (and can we skew the results of this poll by posting it at a time where they should be asleep?)

Reblog to increase sample size!

Reblogging would be a great help, but don’t feel pressured to

#alright so weirdly 2 is 33.5 while the others are 33.3 #so uh don’t really know how that works

imagine you have squirrels in your pants and instead of helping you, a bunch of strangers start spitting absolute bars about it and making your pain into a breakdance. i’d be inconsolable.
