I LOVE the disabled representation here with the little deaf imp and how Fizz respected and supported them!!!

I don't know if the sign language is accurate but the scene is cute nonetheless

Colour blindness in Murder Drones

can we talk about how colour blindness is very common in Murder Drones.

In all the POV shots, the only character who see's colours is Doll while Uzi, N, and Kenzie Day are all colourblind (specifically cone monochromacy). We also know Alice isn't colourblind since she identified Nori's yellow eyes.

So when Uzi's eye(s) turn yellow or bleeds blood instead of oil; no one points it out because most characters wouldn't be able to tell.

Edit. if you look in the reblogs, I've done a lot more investigating and found N is colour blind but not Uzi. Check it out.

It’s okay to stim in public. It’s not your fault if you need accommodations in public spaces. Your mobility aid is not inconvenience. Your disability is not an inconvenience. It’s okay if you need help reading a menu or if you need different menu that’s easier to read. It’s not your fault if your mobility aid interfered with someone else’s day (getting your chair stuck in an entrance), the world was not made with our needs in mind. It’s not your fault if you didn’t understand something socially and messed up. It’s okay if you need to wear ear defenders and sunglasses inside, you’re not rude, the lights and sound are just hard. You are not a bad person and you’re not a burden.

There is one thing from Star Trek: Discovery that sticks with me. It's the one crewmember in a wheelchair.

Why? Because in a future where almost any medical condition is curable, being disabled or using a wheelchair isn't seen as something that needs to be fixed.

Does he have a name or a backstory? No. But unlike Pike (ToS), Emory Erickson (Enterprise), or Admiral Jameson (Next Generation), he's not in the wheelchair because of some tragic accident or illness that left them scarred, paralysed, and/or disabled. He's not made the centre of a story of struggle and pity like Melora Pazlar (Deep Space 9).

There's no story of him trying or needing to be "fixed", "healed" or "cured", there's no story of him trying to adapt, there's no story of him getting in the way or being a burden. He's not seen as a tragic victim. He's not seen as unfit for duty or disabled.

He's just a guy in a wheelchair and a member of the crew.

Yknow, I'm disabled and I think the best disabled rep I've ever seen has been Olivia from fear and hunger termina.

She's not set up to "get over" her disability, nor is her disability something you're supposed to pity her for. She's incredibly capable of caring for herself and when she needs help getting back her wheelchair, it's not some burden nor weakness, it's just her needing help.

And her disability means that yes, she has limits. She has to crawl up stairs, she can get knocked out of her wheelchair and she needs to use only her arms to climb ladders. She is still disabled, her disability limits her in a realistic way.

She's a whole person, not displayed as some burden or just a token disabled character but instead fleshed out and while part of her identity is her disability, she's also a botanist, she has hobbies, she's kind, sympathetic, open, she's questioning sexuality-

She's actually good representation of life as a disabled person.

And that's incredibly important, and I'm sure it's just as important to other disabled people as it is to me. There is such little disabled representation; so much less than other minorities rep. Not only that, but the majority of it isn't accurate or is just demonizing and straight up bad.

GOOD Disabled representation matters. And Olivia is good disabled rep.

*Looks at your “Starfleet not allowing cultural clothing and accessories bc dress code”*

*Squints very hard at your “Starfleet not accommodating disabilities and treating them like they’re shocking”*

*Turns to my Star Trek AU with multiple disabled characters and many who wear culturally significant clothing/accessories*

Eh, screw canon. Starfleet isn’t the military, it can deal with a wheelchair that actually makes sense and a bajoran earring stfu. You have to deal with time travel and literal gods every other Tuesday, who gives a fuck if the pilot is in a wheelchair or wears a fucking earring. Stfu.

As a disabled person... a disabled person since I was very young (age 2) and will be until I die... I like stories that portray disabled people accurately. It's why I devote a lot of my writing to people with disabilities or chronic illnesses, because I feel like it's important. We don't get to see accurate depictions of ourselves in media, and that representation is dearly, desperately needed, which is why I write them.

I like stories that are well researched, appropriate to the condition, and display a breadth of knowledge on the subject. I like stories where the disability is true, real, and doesn't magically get better.

But... as a disabled person with chronic pain, who requires regular, painful surgeries and procedures to keep me alive... I also like the stories where there is a magical fix. I like stories in which the characters who are suffering and in pain, no longer have to suffer or experience pain. Because I dream of a time and place in which I no longer have to suffer or live through the pain of my conditions. And I don't feel like it's wrong to feel that way.

I can like both. I can appreciate both. I see the value of both. And I know there are a lot of disabled people who disagree, that fiction should be true to reality in terms of disability, and I understand and respect the argument. I understand why they feel that way, and to some extent, I agree. But fantasy is fantasy for a reason, and I can do or say or be anything I want to be in fiction. What I want is to see myself, but sometimes, I want to see a version of myself that isn't suffering. And I don't think that's unfair.

The TARDIS having ramps/walkways instead of stairs isn’t just helpful to wheelchair users. It’s also great for the blind/visually impaired. I know there will never be a blind companion, and blind rep will never be a priority in media, but considering my own issues with stairs, the Tardis taking away the stairs for smooth walkways is nice. 🥰

ORACLEEEE :D

The shirt (a gift from steph) is inspired by a very funny drawing by @melxncholy-arts

Image description: Digital art of Barbara Gordon shown from the front. She’s sitting in a high-backed wheelchair rolled up to a desk with multiple computer monitors whose screens glow green. Behind her is the clock face window of the clock tower. She is looking sideways at a high monitor with a smile, has long wavy red hair, and a pink t shirt hanging off one shoulder. The pink t shirt says “Jersey Girls don’t pump gas.” End ID.

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.

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)
