According to the responses to the 2021 American Community Survey available on the US Census Bureau website, approximately 13% of Americans self reported some form of disability. Initially, I thought that this was a high value simply because there's so little perception of it in media, unless that media is specifically designed to show people with disabilities. But then I looked a bit deeper into it. Nearly 50%(it was like 48 point something) of those who reported a disability reported an ambulatory disability. Given this figure, I wonder if the percentage is underreported. A lot of mental health and disability has only been accepted in mainstream media in recent years. There are also questions I have like:Do correctible vision deficiencies count as disabilities? I would argue yes. I wear glasses. It's not something I think about a lot, but without my glasses, I would be hard-pressed to function normally within society. They are an accommodation. Yet in a group of 25-30 people(the class i was in when i was thinking about it), I easily counted at least 5 who wore glasses. Obviously, that's not a large enough sample size to make any kind of assumption off of, but I think I could probably find similar numbers if i looked in other places. Part of me doubts that I was marked as having a vision difficulty despite having and wearing glasses. And it's made me think and wonder if 13% wasn't that large of a number after all. I mean, it's a massive population. It's 42 million people, but I wonder if the number is even larger than that. What do you think?

So, I think it's complex. I'm not saying you are wrong in your investigation, but due to the personal nature of disability, it makes me wonder, too. I think the answer will be just as complex, is what I am saying.

Simultaneously, disability is very common, but the idea of being "unable" to live or be productive makes it so that disability becomes a taboo. It leads you to believe that disability is uncommon, or only exists in the "extremes". I do think that contributes to the perception people have of their disabilities, especially in being in denial about their disabilities disabling them.

I think you can generally say that certain things, like eye vision, can be disabilities, as long as we also recognize that it exists on a spectrum. I also have eye glasses, but if you ask me what I'm disabled by, I probably wouldn't bring that up unless it is relevant, in the narrow ways it is for me personally. I think that's part of why the ambulatory statistic is high. There are many situations where your disability doesn't really... disable you, but you're still disabled because there are aspects of your life you either cannot do, or you need help in order to do.

Thirteen percent is a large number, but when you consider the vast array of disabilities, the number of veterans and elderly, and (like you said) the number of people likely either in denial about their disability or the people for whom education doesn't include disability, the number could very well be thirteen or higher.

It's interesting that ableism is so ubiquitous, yet so many of us are disabled (with or without our knowledge).

#ask #disability #disability advocacy #i think a lot of people are caught up in the this is a disability/this isn't a disability binary that we fail to see the complexities... #...anything can disable you given the 'right' circumstances... #...the fact that my right leg is up to half an inch shorter than my other leg is what causes my pain... #...but my vision is less of a disability for me personally. my prescription most likely needs to be stronger but i know i can manage... #...so if you have me pick which disables me more i would pick my fuck up of a skeleton.... #...but that could very well change! disability is NOT stagnant... #...and we need to let disability be complex... #...so i think the percentage will never truly be accurate because its so complex and we can't ask every single person for their entire story #anything can become a disability if the right circumstances in an individual's life present itself #and these circumstances can be genetic/environmental/financial/socioeconomical WHATEVER it may be #i hope this answers the question well... i can clarify further if need be

every time someone on the internet lies about surge's origins to prove that sonic is canonically trans an angel loses its wings

#well i guess lying isnt the right word. spreading misinformation would probably be more accurate #but its still annoying #especially considering the surge being a clone of sonic misconception being so widespread #can be traced back to one specific tumblr post that blew up and got reposted everywhere #that non sonic fans (or people who just dont read idw sonic) all accepted as fact without doing their own research #and then went on to spread further. PAIN #also even if surge really was made from sonic's dna i dont see how that would mean sonic is trans.... ? #because shes clearly not an exact copy shes a different species and a different color i dont see why her gender would mean anything #i say this as a trans sonic believer btw. people saying sonic is trans is not the problem here its the using inaccurate info as evidence #and then spreading that as facts #theres so much misinformation abuot sonic related things going around all the time in general not just this and its SOO ANNOYINGGGG #this along with stuff from the sonic bible being spread as canon info are things i see brought up most oftenn by non sonic fans #on random sonic related posts i think

How does one monitor their heart rate if they can’t afford a smart watch?

Wanna track my symptoms but idk the best way to do it.

#not to be like omg I think I have xyz #but I am…concerned I may have pots #which is not new it’s just worse and I can’t ignore it now. and it also makes more sense if I also have eds #I MAY actually have a local cardiologist I can see but I wanna track my symptoms first #I can take my pulse on my phone but idk how accurate that is #my parents also have one of those …idk what they’re called. it’s a board you lay on and can tilt back to stretch your back #so I can probably do a homemade tilt table test on that lol #but yeah I just…don’t know what to track and people in a group I asked in were being rude #pots #postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome #undiagnosed chronic illness #undiagnosed disability #eds #ehlers danlos syndrome #chronically ill #chronic pain #disabled

long rambling personal about chronic pain under the cut

on thursday's pt session they were having me work with someone different cause my usual was taking time off. he asked if anywhere hurt more during an exercise and i said my knees and he got all serious and had me do a thumb hypermobility stretch and asked if eds runs in my family, if i experience any other joint pain and for how long. i told him 'uh idk' and 'yes all over' and 'as long as i can remember but it's gotten really bad in recent years and i also have nerve pain' and then we just kinda looked at each other. and then he was like '...alright keep going with the exercise, i'm thinking' and at the end when he said goodbye he seemed like sad or guilty and opened the door for me and i didn't realize why at the time because the session had been harder than any of the others but not like insane but OH MY FUCKING GOD has my pain been bad this weekend. it's times like these that i'm glad i live with my family.

and also. i researched eds in more depth and. it's fucking uncanny. how the hell did this not come up when i was researching before because it is like exact and touches on some symptoms i hadn't even considered to be related to my pain. if it's not heds it's probably hsd i guess?? which is

#i was really weirdly happy at first when everything but the skin stuff was accurate to my symptoms #just cause for so long i've thought my pain was all in my head that i was going crazy #after the lower back xray and the arthritis blood tests came back normal i didn't know what else to think #so suddenly being able to find a community of people who are experiencing the same kind of symptoms and pain #and sharing tips for how to get through it? it's so cool! #but that sort of honeymoon phase in regards to it only lasted a day or so because this flare up is fuckin rough #now i'm mostly trying not to be worried about my abormally high heart rate #and trying not to give in to the allure of screens when i inevitably wake up in pain in the middle of the night #(i obviously broke tonight lol) #personal #vent #also the timing of this was insane because i made a friend with eds a few weeks ago and even did a quick google #afterwards cause we are both so similar that maybe our joint pain also has the same cause? #but i didn't even let myself get past the words “hypermobility” before exiting out because i've never considered myself to be flexible #if i had even kept scrolling for 10 more seconds i would have seen the line up of symptoms that almost completely matches mine lol #sorry for the rambling prolly gonna delete later im just tired and cant stop thinking about it cause yknow #pain

[torgawl]

do you think part of the reason diluc still struggles with his resentment towards kaeya is because kaeya is more like what crepus wished diluc to be? crepus was so proud of diluc for his accomplishments as a knight and lived his dream through him as well and we know how much crepus' approval meant for diluc, more than any title or doing. i sometimes wonder if diluc feels hurt knowing that kaeya gets to live the equivalent to his past life as a knight as if nothing happened when he had to make sacrifices for his own peace of mind and sense of justice. i wonder if that's what pains him the most, not the fact kaeya ommited the truth about his past for so many years but having felt like he was the only one who cared to do something regarding his father's death and who showed any sense of uprightness when confronted with the knights' request to cover their mistake and negligence. i always think about how diluc might have felt like everything was a lie and his sense of betrayal. but maybe that didn't matter as much as having the support of his brother and someone he could share his pain with would have mattered. maybe the worst thing wasn't what kaeya did but what he didn't do; maybe it was never about his actions but the lack thereof.

#i just keep thinking about how lonely diluc must have felt #we know they kept in contact but it wasn't the same #but i also feel so much for kaeya who must have been deeply worried all the time diluc spent away all the times his letters were unanswered #do you think kaeya checked diluc's vision frequently to see if it ever faultered? #my heart clenches whenever i think about them #as much as i love to dwell on the angst of their relationship i feel so happy to see an accurate representation of what healing is like #and the usage of time as a way of storytelling #how it's a slow process and how you get there little by little #how conflicting it is #you have diluc's simultaneously passionate/fierce and stoic personality vs his more vulnerable anonymous messaged in cat's tail board #he admits it pains him and he reminisces of the past yet it's so easy to get angry and it's so easy to build up walls #and then you have kaeya who comes across as confident charming laid-back but who's so hard to read #there's a sadness in him even though he's mostly well resolved #you wonder if some of his diligence is actually his or compensation for his guilt #i just really enjoy them both and how different they are yet so similar #how they are both deeply lonely how they draw a line at anyone putting people at risk #they're not my favourite characters by chance i really think they're extremely well characterised and i think they're easy to relate to #and even though kaeya uses the term anti-hero with attitude problems to describe himself they're both genuinely kind hearted people #they're both warm in their own way #and i hope they hug one day i hope by the end of this stupid game that they get to properly be in each others lives again #the way kaeya called diluc his brother in his hangouts warmed my heart a lot i'm just so glad despite everything they're still able to keep #the other around even if diluc is a silly grumpy guy the fact they dined together like the old times already means something too #my boys <3 #sometimes i want to hit diluc because it's him who pushes kaeya away the most but i also understand that the process of getting ready to #fully let go of his struggles and forgive kaeya takes time #i'm simultaneously hitting him with a cardboard tube and giving him a big big hug #i still think they should be put in the get along t-shirt though 😂 i think that's what they're lacking that would work for sure

sighs, y'know I don't talk about it much on here, but I do wish fandom was....better. I wish it was better! I wish that there was an air of community again, where people aren't bullied, or compared to one another, where there's no sense of competition because everyone's gettin' attention. I wish artists (fanartists, writers, graphics and gifmakers and fanvidders and everything and everyone in between) were more appreciated. I wish people didn't have to use the block button so liberally. I wish fandom experiences were more positive, end of, because I am so....so tired of hearing absolute horror stories of how people I know have been treated in fandom, or hearing stuff in my periphery. I wish fandom was a celebration of love again, something that lasts for a good long while. I wish it could be a positive experience for people, instead of something awful that turns them away from stories that mean so much to them, because of the grief and bitterness and anxiety that fandom drowned it in.

I got sad because I realised that it’s been 5 years this September since I was diagnosed with my first mental illness, and now, 5 years later, I’ve been diagnosed with 10. Because I was 14 at the time, so much of my identity is wrapped up in one disorder or another, which I think is unavoidable if your teenage years are spent in excruciating psychic pain which you were lucky enough to have diagnostic labels for.

The problem is I don’t know how to disentangle it and form my own identity now. For better or for worse, almost every action I take can be explained by a disorder.

However, I’m going to start making a distinction to myself. I think the lines are blurrier than I want to accept. Something might be partway caused by a disorder but also part of me, and it doesn’t have to be solely one or the other. My disorders are a part of my personality and they affect the way I think and act, but they’re not the only part of my personality. My kindness and thoughtfulness and resilience may be influenced by my disorders but they are mine to claim and mine to have, regardless.

#this makes little sense but I wanted to get it written out anyway #I think it’s a pretty common problem #i was thinking recently that five years is a long time. sometimes I feel like there was no point in fighting so hard to stay alive if all I #get is more pain and more illness #but that’s not accurate because there is lots of joy in my life and there always was #maybe I will continue being traumatised and suffering but at the same time I will create a life worth living if I have to wrench it #from g-d’s hands myself #anne speaks

can you do a meme/prompt list about chronic illness, pain, or even terminal illness? i know it's a potentially triggering & heavy subject but it's something that i'm dealing with and i find it really, really, really cathartic to write those sort of subjects out. if you're uncomfortable with that sort of thing, i totally get it & understand! i figured i should just ask <3

hi my love!! i want to start off by saying that i'm absolutely good to go to take on the chronic illness/pain angle, but i would like to take my time with it and do some research so that i can at least try and make it respectful and accurate, you know? but i'm not leaving you with nothing! an absolutely FANTASTIC meme maker, @rpmemes-galore made a list of prompts for that purpose, and i'm going to pop them under the readmore for you to use. again, i'm not saying no!! i'm just saying that i'd feel much happier giving ye a list of memes that i'm knowledgeable of and able to say "yes, this seems accurate to me, i researched it through many reputable sources and perspectives" you know?

thank you for the request, and for the space to decline it! i completely understand the catharsis in writing out these subjects, and that's why we're here, so we can have that experience in a safe zone. i'm truly so sorry that you're dealing with such a heavy situation, and i hope that these prompts, and the prompts i'll eventually post, will offer you the catharsis you're searching for.

i wish you all the best, and all the love i can give.

blue.
