Headcanon that Alastor has a disorder somewhere on the migraine-epilepsy spectrum.

He doesn't have grand mal seizures (the convulsive type) but he gets temporal lobe seizures, especially if he's already ill and refuses to rest.

His seizures can show in a few ways:

-having "void moments" where he suddenly has no thoughts whatsoever or intensely dissociates

-having extreme emotions out of nowhere (he copes with this how he usually does: smiles and pretends nothing's wrong)

-or seeming "uncalibrated." (i.e., the first time Vox witnessed Alastor having a seizure was when he tried to pour coffee into a mug while looking right at it, and he inadvertently poured it directly onto the floor, only to look down and wonder why there was a puddle of coffee on the floor).

For someone like Alastor, the most frustrating part of having a neurological disorder is how blatantly it tells him that he can't just ignore his problems and hope they'll go away. He has migraines and seizures usually as a result of overwhelming stress, and it all gets more severe the longer he ignores it.

Vox tried to explain that to him once, back when they were living together, (along with a "Why didn't you tell me you have seizures!?!?"), and that was one of the first fights they got in: Vox was trying to help, and Alastor was being stubborn and insisting that it "wasn't a big deal."

The anti-mask brain rot is penetrating the hospital system in a terrifying fashion.

Masks are necessary for accessing central lines, and more and more nurses are starting to have issues with wearing a mask during STERILE PROTOCOL.

These lines are going right into our hearts and nurses are throwing tantrums about having to cover up their faces for 5 minutes.

This has not happened at my infusion center personally but I have mutuals and friends who have had to beg their nurses to put on the mask that literally comes in the sterile access kit.

Gaza has a large disabled population. Wissam is just one of tens of thousands, who need medication and care, facing the devastating choice of being slaughtered at home or out on the streets. All districts in Gaza but one have been declared combat zones.

Just going to nip this in the bud now, but I will not be entertaining any "but what about/have you tried" suggestions in my inbox re: plastic straws.

If you message me about this, I'll be soft-blocking you.

I don't care how well-meaning your intentions are; your intentions don't mean shit when what you're actually saying is, "I am uncomfortable with your clearly stated needs as a disabled person and would rather you harm yourself than do something I have deemed immoral based on corporate greenwashing."

This is not up for debate. You either need to unpack the problematic elements of greenwashing on your own time and continue to be an ally to disabled people, or you need to own what you're actually saying and fuck off.

Anyway. Peace and love. Don't be ableist. Save a sea turtle, kill a big oil CEO ✌.

I have a theory that my inability to get to the store when I want to go has a serious impact on my quality of life, so here's a question

If you needed something unexpectedly, can you get to the store without help? Does that matter to your quality of life?

Help is whatever makes you feel not independent - ie. i consider a taxi help, but not a bus because i retain my independence when taking a bus but feel like i'm asking for help when i taxi. It might be different for you.

also if anyone has any info on this, like essays or articles by disabled authors or academics I'd love to hear about it.

please share I want a lot of data!

i hate that i have no volume control. i try so, so hard to reel it in but when im happy, excited, relaxed, comfortable, etc. i talk and laugh loud. it’s as involuntary as laughter. i don’t realize until i get shushed, then i feel like my heart got stomped on. it’s so frustrating because i KNOW it is annoying but can’t seem to help it. getting called on it always takes me from happy to feeling awful in a millisecond

i think the best thing someone can do to be a better ally to disabled people is to just believe other people. believe people know their own abilities and limitations and understand your own.

just. fucking listen to people when they talk about how they are feeling, because most likely theyve been feeling this way for a long time before saying anything either. trust another person to know their body better than you. they know what they can do and then please don't question it.

laziness is a myth.

don't apply your standards for your ability level (even subconsciously) onto other people. be gentle and forgiving with others and most importantly yourself.

i guess this is vent art sort of? anyways look at these weirdos

i know there's several ocd creatures already but i didn't vibe with any of them so here's mine. its name is smh creature. it moves around by hiding into the ground and then reemerging (at the worst possible moment) but can also slide around.

I wish I had a way to record myself on store trips because as an Autistic person, my body language & other ways I just harmlessly exist gets me followed by loss prevention & employees who think I look suspicious.

I don't know how to describe the way I move & browse shelves that apparently looks untrustworthy to people, & makes my nosy neighbors accuse me of being publicly on drugs & "ruining the neighborhood."

But if you ask non-autistic people why they think an Autistic person looks suspicious (without even knowing the person is Autistic), they don't know how to answer either. They just say things like "weird vibes" or "makes me uncomfortable," and they can't ever be more specific.

It is a form of deeply ingrained systemic ableism that causes so much hopelessness, anxiety, and paranoia in Autistic people. It can even cause PTSD, suicidal ideation, and isolation and mental illness from extreme avoidance.

I wasn't going to derail the disability pride month post for people with peanut allergies but in relation to that topic

I have never seen another allergy that has been so viscerally hated and mocked by people working in education like nut allergies. I've seen fellow teachers cringe that their classroom was the "nut free" classroom that year. Support staff that are trained and willfully don't follow cross contamination protocol in the lunchroom because it's too "tedious" or "time-consuming". Full preschools + childcare centers that refuse to accommodate nut allergies. Schools where the only free lunch is a PB&J. Before/after school programs and summer programs whose food curriculum has nuts and doesn't provide an alternative activity.

Allergy discrimination is so so insidious and prevalent. It's happening behind their back and it is everything from the exposure joke to possibly causing someone to go into anaphylaxis from willful ignorance.

Also other parents in the classroom are guilty too. The "not my child not my problem" brain rot means that those lunchboxes are like bombs for airborne exposure allergies

i am begging everyone to cease using the phrase “differently abled”. “differently abled” implies i can do the same things as abled/able-bodied people, just in my own unique way.  no.  i am disabled.  there are things i literally cannot do no matter how hard i try.  words matter. choose wisely.
