#disabled drag

[ndnbutch]

some of my favorite drag photos—the performance was to the song “I’m not my body, it’s mine” by Mallrat. The coat I’m wearing is made from my medical paperwork, and this number is an ode to mobility aids and life as a multiply disabled person.

I cohost an all-disabled drag show in LA, the first of its kind in this city. If you’re interested, follow @disabledcable on instagram!

My visa limit is 2500 and if I can pay it off I'll probably lose my card.

I need to pay this off as well as pay for medication and food at the very least.

Any help would be appreciated be it donations, commissions, buying from my store or what have you.

It's stressing me out to the point its making me physically ill which is only triggering more flares in my conditions that I really don't need.

If I'm accepted into uni I'd like to not have so much credit card debt let alone only being able to use that by the upcoming fall semester. I'd like to be able to go to my classes instead of rotting in bed but without medication and with all this stress I'm honestly scared wherever I get heatstroke this summer it'll just kill me before that.

There are a lot of things available on my kofi, it accepts PayPal and stripe among others both of which I have accounts set up with.

Examples of my art exist on @spirits-art and on my Instagram cassderolo.

I offer tarot readings, art prints, sensory friendly (pride) bracelets and more.

Seriously anything helps my situation right now.

It's rare that I do any drag shows, it's be nice if I got book once a month but it's more like once in a blue moon ATP. I'm trying to get booked for more, they pay decently especially with tips from the audience. But only for a side gig.

Still out of a job and job hunting, wish me luck I suppose.

As a child, Goddess Bunny was left disabled and disfigured by polio. As an adult, she was an out trans woman and an active drag queen.

Nintendo releasing a 1st party wheelchair basketball-meets-rocket league game and announcing it in the switch 2 direct was not on my bingo card but I’m hyped for it!

Psst. Hey. Hey, Arcane fandom. I just want to reassure you that you're allowed to write Jayce taking care of Viktor. Don't listen to people who say there's only one way you should interact with / write disabled people.

You're allowed to write Viktor pushing himself too far and having a flare-up. You're allowed to write Viktor enjoying Jayce picking him up or being protective. You're allowed to write him getting pissed off about that or about being treated differently, >and< you're allowed to write both of these scenarios in the same fic — because, in case we forgot, humans are fickle and unique and will react to the same action in different ways sometimes.

And to my fellow disabled folks, however you want to be treated is valid and should be respected.

If you want to be treated no differently than able-bodied people, that's valid and doesn't make you any less part of the disabled community. If you want to be taken care of and enjoy someone being considerate of your disability, that is valid and doesn't make you any less strong. And if you're somewhere in between or if your preferences change, guess what? Also valid!

Humans are complicated and unique and I love caring, overprotective Jayce fics, so you lovely writers better continued writing them!

re: malles ending

seeing this come up a couple times about choosing to be in the canvas v being disabled and i wanted to talk abt it. i worked as a philosophy professor for a bit and we have this thought experiment in philosophy called 'the experience machine' which is basically, would you choose to be plugged into a machine that you think is real life, but you actually made the decisions of how your life would go outside the machine. at the time i thought the obvious answer was to be plugged in bc who doesnt want to control their whole world (like maelle does in her ending). but not a single one of my students said they'd want to be plugged in. i sort of shrugged it off at the time bc i thought, ah they're young, once they experience the absolute shit of life they'll feel different.

but ultimately im the one who feels different now, i guess. and hearing ppl saying maelle's ending is better because she won't have to be disabled is tough because since being a professor, I've read a lot more of disability advocacy and the idea that the disabled body is inherently worse off or worth less than an abled body or life is something disability advocates push back against.

anyway i keep seeing this and i just want to suggest reading up on disability advocacy bc some of what ppl are saying is objectively harmful to the community. reading The Minority Body really changed how i viewed disability e.g.

not to be a philosopher on main, but im a virtue theorist at heart and i think that understanding differences rather than rejecting them as inferior is the more virtuous path.

"aww tics are so cute!!" "aww when you do xyz tic its so adorable 🥺" "i wish i had tourettes it seems so silly" please stop

because it's "tourettes is so cute!!" and "tics are so cute!!" until the tics aren't something you can fully romanticize and infantilize

one of my tics is my head will jolt around, usually from side to side, and it's really aggressive too, usually i crack my neck a little when it happens. when people don't ignore it or give me side eyes, they usually tell me to stop, because it's "distracting" and "disturbing" the most caring thing someone's ever said about it is "are you ok?" and "why'd your head just do that?"

because what your perception of tics are, cute, adorable, innocent, wholesome, childlike, unaware, gullible, weak, stupid, incapable, worthless, less-than, is wrong, infantilizing, condescending and offensive.

People with tourettes and tics aren't stupid, we know what you're doing, stop it

i think the main issue for me with a lot of jobs is the profound lack of flexibility, and im not talking about any specific kind of management policy, because by definition a lot of jobs rely on a set number of people showing up consistently and reliably, no matter how progressive the company. and while ive always been lauded by employers for my reliability, it typically comes at the cost of my own wellbeing, so... sooner or later the consistency bit becomes an issue. it's not that i can't/don't want to work at all, but i simply want (need) to be able to have a bad day every once in a while. and the list of jobs that can accommodate this need is surprisingly short

The fuck do you mean Maryland doesn't cover wegovy and ozempic and makes you do bariatric surgery instead. Does this include diabetes? The fuck?

If you're wondering why I'm especially not posting recently it's bc I'm doing my final uni year and major project. Check my designs for it so far, a trans doll club kid, a disabled groaning creature and a queen/king butch.
