#Disabled people

Disabled people should be allowed to exist in public. Yes, I mean all disabled people.

That includes people with tic disorders.

That includes people who smell ‘bad’.

That includes people who can’t help being loud.

That includes people who move ‘strangely’.

That includes people with bulky mobility aids.

That includes people who drool.

That includes people who struggle with incontinence.

We all should get to exist, however that looks, and go out in public, use public transport, do activities outside our homes. And we should be allowed to do those things without being glared at or having ableist things said to us.

Hey, PSA for my fellow disabled people: UPS workers are trying to negotiate a new contract, and it looks like it's leading to a strike soon. Now, I am absolutely all for this, they need safe working conditions and should strike if need be, but for us?

Please contact your doctors and make sure you're prepared in any way possible. This will affect many of you, whether that's through med deliveries, oxygen tanks, or other one-use supplies. If you live in America, try to get in contact with an insurance case worker for resources and advice if you're able.

Stay safe, and hope that the precaution isn't necessary.

the bizarre reality that you've been in pain since childhood. Doctors don't listen to kids. They say "oh, kids are dramatic, it'd just growing pains" or "you really want to get out of school don't you." I never had a doctor take me seriously until I made a list of every single symptom. Charted every moment of pain I felt for a week.

I was not taken seriously when I was collapsing on the daily. When I had to buy my own cane. When I started walking with a limp. I didn't realize that being in constant pain, was odd until I was 18. I'm not even 20, and I own more canes than my grandma. Being chronically ill is part of my life. Being chronically pissed at doctors shouldn't be part of it too.

Aggressive reminder that people with disabilities are real people who deserve to be seen as hot or sexual (and not because of our disability). People with disabilities are valid sex partners. Someone’s disability does not detract from their attractiveness. This also means don’t fetishize disabilities. We are capable of being sexy on our own terms and that looks different to everyone. (always remember consent is key)

The other day i was talking with my girlfriend about the use of AI in art. I as an artist myself believe that as long as there's transparency and honesty on the fact that IT'S AI, people shouldn't be judged for using it to express their own feelings.

There's multiple reasons why someone who likes expressing with art may use ai; maybe a disability, bad coordination, or even just not "being good" at art.

so i wanted to ask tumblr, mostly because I'm bored and i wanna see the opinions on this. Of course feel free to reblog and comment!

again, pls feel free and encouraged to comment and reblog!!

Today it's International Day of People with Disabilities. No matter what disability you have, today you are celebrated... by who exactly? Is there someone "abled-bodied" who remembers about this day?

No one my age knows about this day. Not even the adults I know, except for my parents for obvious reasons, know this. In all my years of school, no teacher has ever said a word about disability. I haven't seen a single post about it. No news organization in my country talked about it today. The President of the Republic banally called for inclusion, on the same day that funds for economic aid for people with disabilities were cut by 400 million Euros.

But wait, the second most followed television broadcaster made a themed commercial with a motivational phrase that lasted for just one day! Italy celebrated disability, now we're done, right? We can go back to looking badly at people with disabilities, to judging them, to staring at them in public, to asking uncomfortable questions, to talking down to them, to infantilizing them, to using "disabled/handicapped" as an insult, to making fun of them, to educating our children to be afraid of them or to offend them, right?

Let's do it for ourselves, let's fight, let's make some noise, let's spread awareness. We also want to be heard.

(Please reblog this post if you can. Not judging, but if you don't you're a part of the problem too.)

Happy International Day of People with Disabilities, everyone.

One of the (many) things that makes disabled people the most marginalised community is that there will always be some kind of degree to which a good number of people will think that discrimination against us is okay. That it’s even “healthy”.

Think of separated entrances for disabled people into buildings. You’d never have separated entrances for black people today because history taught us well.

But it’s okay to have a different entrance for disabled people because a ramp looks ugly in the front or it “can’t be build”. So we have to go to the back, slalom through garbage bins, get lost in some corridor.

People justify this.

People justify institutionalisation of disabled people because “that’s the best way to take care of them” (breaking news, no it’s not).

People justify keeping disabled people outside of certain places, venues, fields, experiences because “it’s too dangerous”, “we can’t think of everybody”, “it’s too hard” yada yada.

And many don’t the see the real problem.

People justify the sterilisation of disabled people “because they can’t take care of children/their periods/whatever”.’

Like, we are not even considered enough for our own bodily autonomy.

Even when a disabled person is murdered by a family member the killing is justified and the family member who killed is “the poor thing who couldn’t bear with it anymore” and the murdered disabled person becomes “the angel who is now free from the life’s pains”. But no one asked them if they enjoyed their life, if they wanted to live.

Because a disabled life is not supposed to be good, right?

It’s always “for the sake of us”, “for our safety”, “to protect us” as if we can’t take decisions, as if we aren’t human beings with feelings, dreams, choices, desires, needs.

Nothing done against us can be intended for our best interest or our own good. It’s for the good of the abled-bodied society.

Period.

A person in a wheelchair waiting in front of elevator doors that read "Today is the day we take the stairs" in bold yellow and white letters. In the upper right-hand corner of the elevator doors are the hospital and medical symbols.

I'd like to adress a serious issue here. No mobility aid is a fantasy of mine. No accommodation I could ask for is a fancy thing I want. And no tools for any disabled people should be offered as a present for any occasion. Abled people have to understand that a child shouldn't have to chose between some help with their disability and a christmas present. When will people understand that we need those things. It could be a cane, a noise canceling headphones, a wheelchair, some stim toys, we need it. No mental disability or physical disability should be taken lightly. So please, take your disabled children seriously. It's hard enough to ask for help, don't Minimize it.

I still maintain that what really causes me to struggle with being disabled is abled people and abled centered society.

Yes, being disabled inherently impairs my functioning in certain ways, regardless of what abled people do.

Yes, I'd be in pain no matter what.

But that's just a part of being me. I resent it sometimes, sure. But goddamn it, I just can't take abled people bullshit.

Truly, I just want to live my life, and inaccessibility and ableism are a massive barrier to doing that.

Some problems I've encountered just recently:

Being told I can't bring my mobility aid into a building and that the front desk "might call the cops." I had to leave the building.

Being told I can't bring my mobility aid on a bus. I couldn't ride the bus.

My insurance claim for a mobility aid being denied.

Constantly having to get on my professors so that they follow my accommodations.

Having to do extra work just to get and maintain my accommodations, because apparently they must go through a ridiculously thorough process to prove I'm not faking it.

Being stared at in public when I use my mobility aids. This one isn't the worst but it makes me very uncomfortable.

Some problems I've encountered over my life:

Being called slurs.

Having proof of my disabilities and still not being believed.

Being constantly asked "what happened" and people getting very uncomfortable when I tell them it is permanent and lifelong (somehow they very often think it's a sports accident, as if I look like I can do sports ha.)

People not waiting for me because I'm "too slow" (including so-called "friends.")

Not being able to enter buildings because they are inaccessible.

People smearing piss and shit all over the disabled toilet.

Fighting tooth and nail to get a diagnosis because doctors apparently don't know how to do their job and also don't believe you when you say you're in pain (except my psychiatrist, he's a real one fr.)

Being harassed.

A lot more lmao.
