Every day I see a new hot take that just boils down to “this thing or service only exists because people are lazy!”
I’m so fucking tired of people assuming “Well I don’t need this so no one does!”
I know disabled people are forgotten and seen as inconvenient or a footnote or a technicality or an afterthought. I know this. I know people don’t think we’re worth the work it takes for us to exist.
But it really feels like shouting into the void trying to remind people that no, we can’t just get rid of this facet of society because, shockingly, disabled people utilize it and are not, in fact, a group of people you can just ignore when it’s most convenient.

for the love of god put alt text on yer images
I don't want to get mean. But one of the most tiresome things about tumblr is that almost no one here seems to put alt text on images. I thought ya'll cared about being welcoming and supporting everyone. Not having alt text is just RUDE.
So if I want to reblog something and it has an image I have to add a description at the end. This is a band aid. A work-around. It's not ideal. It would be better if the original image just had alt text on it.
I've written 100s of descriptions hoping people will see the reblog with [Image Description: ...] and think "wow maybe I should have done that"
But …. it's not really working. I don't think anyone is picking up the hint at all. So let me be more clear: It's rude to post images without a description. It makes this part of the internet nearly useless for many people. As the person posting the image only you can put the description in the right place (in the alt text) and you are the best informed person to write the description. You know what it is and why it's there. So just ... add the alt text please.
On mastodon I almost never see an image without alt text. We could be like that here too. You don't need to make it long. Something is better than nothing. Just give some context so the post makes sense and everyone can participate. Stop making it harder.

it does not matter if Aaron is mentally ill or not. It does not change the meaning or importance of his death. disabled peoples lives are not lesser.

Disability education is so important. I just got a firsthand experience as to why. I went to my schools dance and I was having a good time dancing with my friends. But my joints started to buckle on me. I went and I sat down and put ice on my knees. But once my friends got bored with me being disabled after 5 minutes and they left me all alone. People will have disabled friends until they themselves have to be just a little accessible. Being disabled hurts enough but getting abandoned at a dance because you’re disabled hurts more.

I finally have insurance again but I have a $50 charge to see a specialist. I desperately need physical therapy but I don't know if that's going to count as a specialist every time and I can't afford to pay $50 every session. I have a lot of referrals from my GP to follow up on, but they're almot ALL specialists (neurology and urology especially) I just want to get a better handle on exactly what my disabilities/health problems are and how/if I can get them under control, but this country makes it so fucking cost prohibitive

how do i convince my mother (and potential my doctor) that i need a better mobility aid?
i have been using a cane for a little over 6 months now and i think i am in need of something better (im thinking forearm crutches) and i have the money right now to buy them out of pocket so this isnt a trying to fight insurance thing and it will be my money no one else’s.
however, my mother is against the idea because she says she doesnt want me to get too reliant on them and that she is worried about me loosing strength in my muscles if i get the crutches.
ive agreed to talk with her and my doctor about this at my next appointment, but this is just my pcp and not a specialist because i can not afford to go to a specialist and im worried about her fighting me on this.
ive done my own research, i know the risks of forearm crutches and a cane, and i understand that to an extent my mothers concerns are valid ones im just not sure how to get her and potentially my doctor board with this and im not sure what to say to convince them that i genuinely think this will help me and that the cons do not outweigh the pros.
any advice is appreciated

Can someone help me with drawing mobility aids? I have an idea for a character with forearm crutches but can't find anything that helps me break them down into shapes. What different styles are there? I don't have any experience as a non-disabled person so I wanted to reach out

Wow, so an update to the seizure saga.
My day EEG was cancelled back in October due to lack of staff for the day my appointment was scheduled. So I waited for another to be scheduled as is usually done.
Well I called my neurology practice to see if my neuro was able to talk about ya know, what happening. That's when I found out that practice has closed my referral, they won't see me again until I get a new one and go through the waitlist again....I was as usual never made aware. At least the receptionist told me I could call this other hospital to see if my EEG has been rescheduled.
Called the other hospital and what do you know, not only has it not been rescheduled yet but it won't be scheduled until August at the soonest....8 months from now, after I waited like 6+ months for the original EEG AFTER IT HAD BEEN LIKE A YEAR ALREADY!!!!!
I'm so done with this shit.

Hot take accommodations like 5o4s, weelchairs, canes, crutches, prosthetics, ear plugs, heating pads, pain killers, hydration supliments, hearing aids, IEPs, catheters, therapy, psychologist, Should all be free for those who need it. The whole what if people misuse it is bs people need accommodations as for people with invisible and visible disabilities and chronic pain disorders. Thank for litsening and happy disability acceptance month make sure to not be hard on your self and give yourself a break. 💞
