Has anyone else noticed that as a society, we’re shamed for wanting to sleep? Sleeping in is bad, naps are only okay if they’re 20 minutes, you cant be tired unless you’re a <insert career/lifestyle choice here>, so on and so forth.

I mean, I think we all need to spread our blankets out, cuddle a pillow, and go to sleep. Everyone needs more of it, fuck this “it’s not productive” nonsense. It’s okay to sleep, it’s okay to want to sleep. You’re not lazy because of it.

there’s this extremely kind soul of a woman on instagram that makes accessible recipes that don’t require standing, chopping, or a stove and she might just have a permanent place in my heart

I think if you’re disabled you don’t get to call yourself lazy. No. You are facing a real ass problem, big or small, you shouldn’t morally judge yourself for it.

Your act of protest today:

Take your meds. Drink some water. Listen to one of your favorite songs and don't doom scroll for a few minutes while you do it. Find a funny meme that reminds you of a friend and send it to them, so they know you were thinking about them.

I am incredibly serious when I tell you that continuing to exist and finding joy in spite of people who want you to suffer is important. It won't solve things, but it will keep you alive in important ways.

can you believe I went out and forgot my fucking cane

I think some of you forgot that autistic people sometimes act strange and say things that are poorly worded and speak with incorrect tone and misunderstand or miss social cues because they are autistic

It’s Disability Pride Month, remember not everyone eats the way you do! I eat directly through my jejunum and get hydration through a central line that goes straight into my heart.

Enteral and parenteral nutrition saves lives. 425,000+ people in the US are on home enteral nutrition (tube feeds), and 25,000+ people are on home parenteral (IV) nutrition.

Do you know someone that’s tube fed?

Shout out to all people here who thought that they had vaginismus, while in reality they are on agenital spectrum/have vaginal hypoplasia (bonus points if you were also often suggested surgeries to "fix it")

Couldn't be me

I feel like if you’re bed rotting from an autoimmune disease you should get to stop paying bills. just for a little bit. just as a treat.

you're just mad because you're hungry and tired and your legs hurt and you head hurts and you're too hot and you have depression

“I tampered with that persons food/drink order because I thought it would be funny” is like saying “I cut your brakes out of your car because I thought it would be funny”. that’s not a joke. It’s almost premeditated murder

"fatphobia is deeply rooted in our culture and fat people face systemic oppression, and a lotta skinny people seem ignorant of it."

my notes/asks, five seconds later: "as someone who is really skinny this makes me feel physically unsafe around you :("

the worse climate disaster gets, the more you’ll see closet eugenicists start to advocate for letting people die. you need to be prepared to combat the ideology wherever you see it, because it’s only going to get worse and worse Read everything having to do with climate disaster critically. If the central argument underlying what’s being said is that the death of disabled and/or racialized people is inevitable, natural, or desirable– that’s a fascist.

they might be appear to be a garden variety republican or liberal or even a leftist at first, but know that if that argument is being made, their underlying ideology is one of supremacism, and given additional climate stress, they will become more blatant about it.

sucks that no strategies for managing ur chronic disabilities are cool stuff like "power through your symptoms fueled by raw willpower like an anime protagonist"

its all dumb shit like "keep a record of your activity and symptoms" and "learn to work within your limits and rest before you crash"

this shit sucks. i dont want to pace myself and practice mindful resting. i want to push past my mortal limits and shoot lasers out of my eyes until all my tasks are complete
