a reminder that people will not be less ableist to you if they can see that you’re disabled! :-) being visibly disabled will not make things easier, and saying that we are privileged for being visibly disabled is just straight up ableism.

(yes, this is also relevant to NDs, but this post is specifically about being physically disabled. please respect that and do not derail, you have the power to Make Your Own Post.)

saw a sign that said "honor aaron bushnell, free palestine" and man. why don't we honor the 40,000+ palestinians martyred in the last 200+ days. why don't we honor the palestinians who israel has maassacred in the last 75+ years. why don't we honor the palestinian villages wiped off the map. why don't we honor the entire lineages whom israel murdered. idk maybe yall need to think about why it took a white man self immolating for you to care about palestine!

obviously if someone makes a point about disabled people that's blatantly not true it makes sense to correct that. things that evidently exclude a section of disabled people because the poster clearly has never considered the needs of a disabled person other than themselves should rightfully be corrected. but what happens most often in this hellish community is someone is either talking about themselves specifically, talking about the needs of an oft underrepresented group of disabled people, or talking about a ideological or moral point that exists beyond personal examples, people feel the need to yell about themselves.

there's no nice way to say this but it's happened a fair amount of times here. if i dunno you, i really don't give a shit. coming onto a post of mine to talk about your personal struggles when it's not at all relevant does not garner any sympathy from me. you're just annoying. in fact i care even less about you. not every single post on earth that mentions "disabled people" is referring directly, personally, to you just because you happened to be disabled. if im talking about something like disabilities affecting the jaw and people share about their disability which affects their jaw that's great. yelling and sobbing and swearing on a post about disabled people in general that doesn't match up to your personal experiences is embarrassing.

also if i went on some stranger's post to wildly misinterpret the point, make it all about me, and over-share about my feelings or past traumas that no random person have any reason to give a shit about, i think i'd be so embarrassed i'd die on the spot. and yet on tumblr dot com

tbh disabled people are expected to not want kids. they are forcefully stopped from having kids. THE most common narrative against disabled people having kids is "how could you inflict your condition on a child to suffer with for their life." the very last place you need to explain that you definitely don't want kids because of your disability and that you don't want to inflict that condition on them is a post about how disabled people deserve to have kids if they want to. it's so self centred to reproduce the same ableist narrative just because you internalised it. be ashamed

[bebsi-cola]

are you responding to me? or someone else?

you know disabled rights include the rights of disabled people to have children. regardless if those children are also disabled. any mesure to restrict disabled people from having children is simple eugenics

i think a lot of people would be happier if they viewed labels like homosexual and transgender as social technologies rather than identities

the fact that there are white people going "omg they're just like us" about people in south, south east, south west asia and africa and south america like it's some huge revelation that we're all human is so fucking dismal to me. what do you mean you never considered the personhood of the people who don't look like you or don't have your culture? why do you think that you're unique in your suffering? why do you think you deserve praise for realizing that we're all human?

“well you wouldn’t say x to a wheelchair user???”

wrong, they absolutely would. stop saying this shit while trying to raise awareness for neurodivergence and mental health.

people are constantly trying to deny disabled people the privilege of their own anger. we're forced into situations we don't want to be in have to rely on people or institutions we don't want to, have to constantly project the idea that we're thankful, hopeful, trying our best... it's ridiculous. when a disabled person is angry about something people flock to tell them that they shouldn't feel this emotion. "doctors are trying to help you", "be grateful you even have what you do", "you're the one making yourself miserable". at the end of the day it just goes to show that they don't think disabled people deserve even the meagre amount that we are given, so that's why they think we have no right to be angry

as everybody knows getting shooked involves nausea and your muscles tensing and feeling exposed and at risk etc etc. but at this point even thinking about any of my feelings gets me nauseated and makes me wanna run, like any time i escape the time void to think thoughts im going into shookened mode it is bizarre. like ????? what's going on bestie

humans are genuinely so funny bc i ate sour treats to the point that my mouth skin was peeling and my tongue was bleeding and i was like. damn this is the good stuff. i had sour gum that made me sweat from my entire face (and nowhere else) and i popped another just to see what would happen.
