A snapshot of one morning, on a relaxed day with mild weather. Now imagine this when it's crowded or when it's raining or snowing.

Video description: POV from the lap of a wheelchair user. Very shaky. OP is going downhill on a fall day. Lots of trees and fallen leaves around. There are construction trucks to the left in the very beginning. Every now and then, you can see a German Shepherd on the left. Second obstacle shows a food robot crossing the sidewalk to drive in front of OP, but it stops suddenly and OP crashes into it. OP continues down the hill until she reaches another food robot, which is obstacle 3. This robot sits in the middle of the sidewalk while OP navigates around it. Then OP comes to a concrete ramp with iron railings, which is obstacle 3.5. It is very steep. After the ramp, OP goes to cross the street, where a black SUV blows through the crosswalk. Obstacle 4 is a ramp with red brick. OP struggles to move up and pauses at one point before continuing again to obstacle 5, where there is a big concrete building and manual doors. The German Shepherd service dog goes up to push the accessibility button multiple times to no avail. A student comes and opens the door, OP enters through two sets of doors into a hallway. Clip change to obstacle 6, OP is wheeling down a hallway and approaches a white elevator with out of order signs.

End of description.

Yesterday I successfully defended my #dissertation examining the “social facts” of COVID-19. Here’s me headed to the defense rocking my CAN99 and walker 😷🚶🏼‍♀️ #IMaskBecause as a scientist who studies #Covid, I signed up to defend my diss, but I didn’t agree to die for it. #PhDone pic.twitter.com/OZGL469jnG

The leftism/anticapitalism leaving people's bodies the zeptosecond you imply that disabled people who aren't "productive" still matter in society and need to be treated like intrinsic equals who have a place in this world:

#disability #disability advocacy #described images #image description in alt #ableism #ableism tw #my full-time job is my disability and you're lucky that i am still 'productive' as-is #your boss doesn't care that you think you're superior for being hired by them. they're still going to treat you like profit machines #it astounds me how people will capitulate for oppression because they place their intrinsic value in their ability to be at the top... #...or at least 'at the top' compared to others. it's the same impulse that makes people think their cisgender status makes them superior... #...you are placing your worth into systems which not only oppress others but offer you no true sense of worth... #...ESPECIALLY if you're also being exploited (even if just a bit)... #...you have a job sure but... do you actually get treated like a human being? are you actually paid? are you actually safe?... #...if the answer to any of those questions and more is 'no' then why do you place your value in capitalistic production. genuinely. #and why would you DEMAND disabled people to have the same exploitation you experience. why do you DEMAND productivity if you are proletaria #yes being a leftist and anticapitalist are linked but. some people still internalize capitalism without questioning it #being a leftist is about challenging that rather than assuming you're correct i think #also scientists were very silly when describing time that's like. less than a millisecond i think

"It is illegal for an employer to discriminate based upon disability! So if you have no excuse if you are unemployed!"

Employers:

[ID: Snippets of job requirements. By bromantically]

1. "This position requires the individual to drive either a company car, rental car or his/her own car in the course of performing their job from time to time. Employee must be able to perform the physical functions of operating a motor vehicle, including use of eyes, ears, arms, hands, legs, and feet. Employee must be able to prove that he/she has a current, valid driver’s with no restrictions." The part that says, "Employee must be able to perform the physical functions of operating a motor vehicle, including use of eyes, ears, arms, hands, legs, and feet." has been highlighted.

2. "Ability to repetitively stoop, crawl, bend at the knees and waist, squat and lift 50 lbs; includes body weight, equipment, tools and boxes, in addition to ability to stand for long periods of time on varied surfaces. Must be able to stand up to five hours at a time." End ID.]

#working while disabled #disabled employee #i have seen desk jobs use the must be able to lift 20 lbs loophole #this is ESPECIALLY PREVALENT in environmental science jobs even those that dont require fieldwork #the first one is for an entry level environmental scientist at dewberry #disclaimer: the second one is from a security guard position bc i couldnt find a ready example of this #without searching through a ton of job descriptions #but i promise you i have seen shit like this for non physical labor jobs #and jobs that have some physical labor but can have accomodations #they just dont want to do the extra work of accomodating to make the work feasible for a disabled person #so they outright say this shit #disability #physical disability #cripplepunk #cpunk #chronic disability #chronic pain #spoonie #wheelchair #from the field

people on tumblr will literally post things like “you have to eat vegetables and expand your palate i dont care if you are a picky eater because of autism (if i can overcome it you can too)” and everybody will reblog it being like “yes this is true for everybody no matter what” and think its okay. like sorry but that wont work for everyone and there is no one size fits all and some people will never be able to eat these things no matter how hard they try. im only allowed by my doctors to eat recreationally and not for nutrition, because my ARFID is so severe that i get my nutrition solely from a specially made formula drink. your suggestions of “try vegetables roasted!” or “try them in soup!” and assurances of “i did it, you can too!” don’t work for those of us with more severe mental illnesses and disabilities. stop tying a person’s worth to their diet and stop assuming everybody has the ability to do what you can.

#seb speaks #autism #arfid #disability #i am TIRED. #for me #it’s not just sensory issues it’s a subconscious response #that reads unfamiliar foods as poisonous #this has been confirmed by all the doctors and scientists ive spoken to #actuallyautistic #i cannot have it blended to where i cant taste or feel it because even the thought #of those foods elicits panic attacks #because again. my brain reads them as poisonous. whether i want it to or not #you may say ‘this is sooo unhealthy tho’ #and yes! it is! because i’m mentally ill and disabled and i will never be healthy in this department #for as long as i live #i have done 3 rounds of feeding therapy and 1 support group #and countless visits to doctors and specialists and scientists #and they have all confirmed i will not get better #so the best i can do is to drink the formula and eat my safe foods. it’s the only way i’m physically able to live #and it’s why im not dying in a hospital bed from malnutrition anymore

[Image description] Image 1: A digital illustration of Dr Loboto from the Psychonauts series. He's drawn from the waist up at a 3/4 angle, with his gloved hand holding a golden dental tool. His other prosthetic arm is held slightly up as if in thought. He's grinning wildly, revealing a set of sharp teeth. The background is a warm brown and features sketches of various characters from the psyconauts franchise, such as Linda the lungfish, Loboto's family, Shegor and the fish gaurds from Rhombus of ruin. There is a bright magenta blood splatter covering the middle of the background. Image 2: A monochrome comic of Loboto, who has one hand up to his chest and the other gesturing of to the side. He's grinning and saying 'I have no relevant skills. I am unpleasant to work with. I like to cause problems.' Coach Oleander can be seen in the bottom right corner, glaring up at Loboto. Image 3: A continuation of the comic . Oleander stands to the right of the canvas with one hand on his hip and the other pointing up at Loboto who is standing in the foreground on the far left. With a sharp grin and a glare, he ignores Loboto's warnings and says 'Hired.' [End ID]

#this is abt me lol #just watched karina drawfee create an oc who 1) is a mad scientist 2) is an older brother 3) has experimented on their younger brother to- #give them weird and messy powers 4) has used their mad science to make disability aids 5) has only one eye 6) appears charming at first but #becomes increasingly fucked up and scary over time (<- villain made for me specifically) #sitting here realizing that if ur delusional enough u can make an infinite number of comparisons #saiki k #tdlosk

My theory for why Dr Hemlock’s hand is always hurting is that he’s a beginner crocheter who hasn’t learned how to properly hold his tension yet. The glove is a compression glove

#he wanted to start up a side business in case the whole evil scientist thing doesn’t work out #I’m definitely correct #dr hemlock #royce hemlock #dr royce hemlock #the bad batch #tbb #star wars #ster wers #i’ll actually be so annoyed though if we never get an explanation #very sick of the disabled villain for the sake of reflecting their corrupt nature trope #either way it’s still using that trope #but it would be slightly less annoying if we’re given an actual reason for it

project sekai is crazy because literally every character is queer trans neurodivergent physically disabled or some combination of the above

#and im not talking abt hcs im talking abt actual coding #minori is very explicitly in love with haruka #harukas is less obvious but she clearly returns minoris feelings as well #shizuku is so obviously nd [likely autistic but she could read as a number of other things] #airi is incredibly trans coded [that one event + her fes card] #mizuki is canonically trans #ena has ptsd in some format due to her fathers abuse and shes also got a lot of cluster b traits #kanade has ptsd from what happened with her father and wlw and physically disabled coded #mafuyu. oh gd. the cdd coding the transmasc coding the girlkisser coding. #anhane is basically canon #touya is autistic coded as is nene and ichika #shiho is nd #everybody in l/n likes girls #ichika is aro coded #and autistic like i said #saki is canonically physically disabled #akito [like ena] has some measure of ptsd from his father #akito and touya r both mlm coded #rui literally compares himself to a famously gay scientist in jp [FUCK THE EN LOCALIZATION OF THAT BTW] #emu is VERY CLEARLY AUDHD and somewhat wlw coded #nene is also wlw #tsukasa comes across as very nd #all of wondershow is aspec coded as well #and oh gd ive been talking a while i need yo shut up #but like.

The scientific community thinks my body and mind are "fascinating" and that I'm a "medical mystery" 😳😳😳

Rewatching the training between Izzy and Stede makes the inner soft scientist come out. Like, just watching Izzy breath is beautiful, showing he's still alive and human despite the torture he's endured. I would kill to watch him move and navigate his new leg just how I had friends watch over me as I started using my cane for my own disabilities. I see myself in Izzy a lot, and call it the God complex, but I adore that as it helps me look at myself and feel more worthy as we have endured similar shit.

I would adore running my fingers through his chest hair, taking in their feeling to ground myself. It is truly beautiful, especially all gray and reflecting so pretty in the sunlight. Con's chest is fuckin gorgeous too.

Izzy is human despite every insecurity and flaw. He is human with every breath and a fighter at that. He is a queer unicorn and a beloved one by his crew despite being upset about his missing leg. He is alive and that is truly beautiful through my scientific eyes. Alive. Life. Just simple things like breathing and moving, even a bit, to keep you alive. Life is beautiful and it should be saved, both when the organism is alive and dead. It is all beautiful and it is being you. You are enough and cherished.

Anyways, sorry for the ramble. I am autistic and stimming hard over this show

My classmate said that blind people can't be in science because they "can't read graphs." I responded with "disabled people can be scientists, besides that's what alt text is for." She replied with "well, okay, but they can't be in forestry [our field], that would be too hard for a disabled person." I then countered with the fact that I am disabled and am succeeding (and while I didn't point it out, I am receiving higher grades than she is, and I have had to tutor her). She said that it's different for me, and when I asked how so, she didn't reply.

Disabled scientists exist and we are successful!

sometimes i wish you could hire a service where someone reads a study and then will talk about it with you in very simple terms to help you understand said study. or even just any topic but for me, mostly studies. not like a tutor, or tutors i've experienced, that try to 'bring you to that level' or whatever. i mean teach it to me like i'm in middle school. break it into bite sized pieces. talk it out with me!

#i think i would actually pay for this if the person i hired was an autistic person with a special interest in that topic #like. please. explain this to me then talk my ear off about it until i get it #so many dog studies are GREAT but incredibly inaccessible due to how fricking hard they are to understand #and i get it's not made for like the average person but for other scientists etc #BUT I WANNA UNDERSTAND #and my mind really struggles as my disabilities have progressed and worsened

[uncanny-tranny]

Every time I try to "tough out" my pain, I always imagine a group of scientists with the saddest expressions on their faces because they invented a way to help my suffering and I refused to use it because I didn't feel "worthy enough" and I always feel so guilty and grateful for their effort and sacrifices

#positivity #disability #my back hurts so so so bad right now and i really hope taking pain killers will help #thank you scientists for making my life feel more comfortable and free <3 #like if i were a scientist and somebody dod what i did i would feel SO sad. like. puppy dog eyes and a sniffly nose #pain is not indicative of a Good Moral Character and i need to internalize this

[crippledanarchy]

I am silently going insane tonight

#my dad was rushed from urgent care to get a full cardiac workup cause apparently covid destroys your heart #who could have seen this coming? except for me who has been warning about why precautions are important for 3 fucking years #its fine. it's cool. I'm being so normal about it. i definitely don't feel like an ignored scientist in an apocalypse movie #it's fine. it's not like covid damage to the cardiac system is what killed Papa...oh wait. it did. #he'll *probably* be okay tonight? but like. he's not gonna cope well with disability #bex talks to themself

[www-pinkhearse]

Fuck it y’all meeting him. This is Zip Marconi, his wife died and he tried to bring her back and failed miserably. He’s very much a wip and so is his story
