I really don't care if accessibility helps abled people. You should care about us even when there is no direct benefit to you personably.

Fuck abled people and their opinions on disabled bodies

My mother literally said to me that she “believes that I am choosing to be disabled and that she believes that I am healthier than I feel” like ma’am you are not in the same body as me you do not know it better than I do. Do you not think that I wasn’t to be healthier? Do you not think I’d rather not be in pain? You really think I’m choosing this? After saying that bull shit she goes on to say that she only wants the best for me and for me to “get well soon” and arugh I stg she really feels like one of those people who are like “don’t say disabled say differently abled” like gah no there are things I simply cannot do anymore I don’t do them differently I just can’t do them

I was really struggling today with working to do advocacy while also trying to navigate issues with my landlords and trying to figure out how to get a human rights case started and how to have enough time to see that through all with so many things asking energy and money of me that I don't have.

So to decompress and collect myself to get rolling I did a podcast episode. In it I talk not just about the pain and exhaustion of pushing through to get ready for the second fire inspection, but individual and collective ableism creating a situation that sends the message, in no uncertain terms, whether overt or covert, my country wants me dead. But I also talk about how for most people it's really a lack of understanding and totally unconscious. And how each person working to understand means we begin to address that larger conscious or unconscious collective ableism infecting bureaucracies, medicine, journalism, politics and the larger society

Also I just realized I passed my 44th anniversary of being post viral epstein-barr😟. Sadly still no improvements to supports or research yet. But I haven't finished fighting and with your help I will continue to as long as I can!

It genuinely bothers me that people on here want to use abled to mean not having a physical disability and not having no disability at all. What's the term for neurotypical able bodied people then? What are we going to use to identify the people with absolute privilege?

That's not even what mainly bothers me, what mainly bothers me is that being neurodivergent involves physical differences a lot of the fucking time. Depression and anxiety, two incredibly common disabilities, both can give you fatigue. They've also been shown to weaken the immune system. And what about the disabilities that we don't have a clear label for? Is my ibs physical because it has physical symptoms? Or is it mental because it's strongly related to my anxiety? Sleep disorders are usually taken care of in the field of psychology, but sleep apnea happens from physical structures most of the time.

All because the brain is a part of the physical body! You can't separate the two!

So stop acting like we can!

When even “do it with the confidence of a mediocre white man” won’t cut it, do it with the confidence of a perisex cis man telling you his views on abortion, or an abled person with a disabled family member talking about disability.

i got rickrolled today but it didn't work because i have adblocker installed, so youtube just told me i violated the terms of service. yesterday i was trying to edit a picture as a joke for my girlfriend, and google made me check a box to prove i'm human because i wasn't "searching normally".

it isn't just that capitalism is killing fun and whimsy, it is that any element of entertainment or joy is being fed upon by this mosquito body, one that will suck you dry at any vulnerability.

do you want to meet new friends in your city? download this app, visit our website, sign up for our email list. pay for this class on making a terrarium, on candlemaking, on cooking. it will be 90 dollars a session. you can go to group fitness, but only under our specific gym membership. solve the puzzle, sign up for our puzzle-of-the-month-club. what is a club if not just a paid opportunity - you are all paying for the same thing, which makes you a community.

but you're like me, i know it - you're careful, you try the library meetings and the stuff at the local school and all of that. the problem is that you kind of want really specific opportunities that used to exist. you are so grateful for libraries and the publicly-funded things: they are, however, an exception - and everything they have, they've fought tooth-and-nail to protect. you read a headline about how in many other states, libraries have virtually nothing left.

do you want to meet up with your friends afterwards? gift your friends the discord app. you can choose to go to a cafe (buy a coffee, at least), a bar (money, alcohol) or you can all stay in and catch a movie (streaming) or you can all stay in bed (rent. don't get me started) and scream (noise complaint. ticket at least).

you want to read a new book, but the book has to have 124 buzzwords from tiktok readers that are, like, weirdly horny. you can purchase this audiobook on audible! your podcast isn't on spotify, it's on its own server, pay for a different site. fuck, at least you're supporting artists you like. the art museum just raised their ticket price. once, they had a temporary exhibit that acknowledged that ~85% of their permanent art galleries were from cis white men, and that they had thousands of works by women (even famous women, like frida! georgia o'keefe!) just rotting in their basement. that exhibit lasted for 3 months and then they put everything away again.

walmart proudly supports this strip of land by the street! here are some flowers with wilting leaves. its employees have to pay out-of-pocket for their uniforms. my friend once got fined by the city because she organized a community pick-up of the riverfront, which was technically private property.

no, you cannot afford to take that dance class, neither can i. by the way - i'm a teacher. i'm absolutely not saying "educators shouldn't be paid fairly." i'm saying that when i taught classes, renting a studio went from 20 bucks an hour to 180 in the span of 6 months. no significant changes to the studio were made, except they now list the place as updated and friendly. the heat still doesn't work in the building. i have literally never seen the landlord who ignores my emails. recently they've been renting it out at night as an "unusual nightclub; a once-in-a-lifetime close-knit party." they spent some of those 180 dollars on LEDs and called it renovating. the high heels they invite in have been ruining the marley.

do you want to experience the old internet? do you want to play flash games or get back the temporary joy of club penguin? you can, you just need to pay for it. i have a weird, neurodivergent obsession with occasionally checking in to watch the downfall and NFT-ification of neopets. if i'm honest with you all - i never got into webkins, my family didn't have the money to buy me a pointless elephant. people forget that "being poor" can mean literally "if i buy you that toy, i can't afford rent."

you and i don't have time to make good food, and we don't have the budget for it. we are not gonna be able to host dinner parties, we're not made of money, kid. do you want some kind of 3rd space? a space that isn't home or work or school? you could try being online, but - what places actually exist for you? tiktok counts as social media because you see other people on it, not because they actually talk to you.

there was a local winter tradition of sledding down the hill at my school. kids would use pizza boxes and jackets and whatever worked, howling and laughing. back in september, they made a big announcement that this time, rules were changing, and everyone must pay 10 dollars to participate. when im not scared shitless, i kind of appreciate the environmental irony - it hasn't gone below 40. so much for snow & joyriding.

i saw a bulletin for a local dogwalking group and, nervous about making a good first impression, showed up early. the first guy there grimaced at me. "sorry," he said. "there's a 30-dollar buy-in fee." i thought he was joking. wait. for what? the group doesn't offer anything except friendship and people with whom to walk around the city.

he didn't know the answer. just shrugged at me. "you know," he said. "these days, everything costs money."

#spilled ink #warm up #“why did u tag it warm up” bc i wrote it off the cuff while drinkin coffee lol #btw the 30 dollar buy in for the dog walking is bc they pay the organizer a small pittance so she can #run fb ads and stuff and like she does put in a lot of work i don't mind paying her #but that's exactly what im fucking talking about like. #ppl can't afford to volunteer their time anymore and we all understand it!!! everything costs money for everyone! #like we didn't have to use to say ''do you mind paying me back for the stuff we ate'' #we used to be able to afford to feed our friends once in a while!!!

Using disabilities and their symptoms as insults is ableist.

Yes, a lot of ableism is nominalized and will go over people's heads. But the remedy to this is education and not throwing a fit when someone tells you that the ableist thing you are doing makes you ableist.

You can't degrade disability and care about disabled people.

raise a glass to the posts you love that end up deleted. to the fanart and fanfics you lose track of and can't locate. to the blogs you used to look through that ended up unexpectedly disappearing. to the things you didn't archive because you always assumed they'd be there.
