My disabilities aren’t your fucking headcanon, they aren’t yours to write fanfics about.

What I mean is, do you visualize your hands from your own perspective, or do you visualize yourself like in a (flipped?) mirror? Also, is your visualization very abstracted/‘unrendered’ or does it really look like you? (If you’re trans, has the way you visualize yourself changed when you started transitioning?) If you happen to be literate in a sign language (like, if you know SignWriting or something), do you perhaps visualize your thoughts as written text?

Please reblog for a bigger sample size!

being able to give your pet a “raw diet” is an enormous privilege not everyone can afford . feeding your animal from a can or bag is not inherently bad or neglectful

It's gonna be such a funny mess when Donald Trump dies of a stroke on April 1st, 2024.

Naturally everybody will think it's fake because of the date only to lose their minds (both positively and negatively based on their opinion of trump) when realizing it's real

There will be massive celebrations in the streets and on social media and lots of predictable "don't speak ill of the dead" discourse about those celebrations

Weird evangelicals will pull some weird number trick talking about how Jesus was conceived on April 1st and that makes Trump a sort of messiah and people will make fun of that

The Republicans (after they're done with the faux-sadness and faux-outrage) will stomp over each other to be his successor but none of them will succeed. They'll tear each other apart and have no single nominee for the November elections.

There will be discourse about if Biden and the living former presidents should go to his funeral (they won't, he was a traitor insurrectionist)

The Ukraine-Russia War immediately goes in favor of Ukraine as morale in the Kremlin is reduced. China similarly backs off from its threats on Taiwan.

Ten thousand new memes are made, some sticking around for years to come.

Not a month later a bunch of unofficial biographies of Trump hit the bookshelves, many with new details about just how awful he was.

If I had a dollar every time someone heavily implied I was privileged for having a “stereotypical disability” (spinal cord injury) I might be able to afford the intense physical rehabilitation I need to grip things with my hands again

people cannot wrap their minds around the fact that Helen Keller was real, and did do the things she did.

people cannot wrap their minds around the fact accommodations exist.

Deaf and Blind people are real people. they exist and live in the world. they are not a fantasy.

one in five Deaf people who graduate have below a second grade reading skills.

this is the result of Deaf people not being given proper language access, our society is not built for the Deaf, and thus it fails them.

Deaf children are less likely to be diagnosed with other issues because it is blamed on their Deafness

we are undertreated, not given proper accommodations, have to fight to go to the school we want to go to, and more

this goes for most if not all physical disabilities too, especially if they are visible

deaf people deserve friendship, they shouldn’t automatically be at a disadvantage just because they are Deaf

deaf people are so alienated, even if you were not raised in Deaf culture the moment people see a listening device they seem to run

Even asocial, mean, and lonely disabled people deserve shelter, food, and medical care. I would argue even especially so

i wonder if the people who make fun of me for being Deaf treat their hoh grandparents the same way

if you post jokes and memes in the notes of a post about systemic violence against physically disabled people because you personally don’t think it’s serious or bad or worth discussing you deserve to get hit in the face with a dodgeball
