sometimes people experiencing psychosis and/or mania will come up to you on the street and talk in confusing or upsetting ways. your job is to either have a regular human-to-human conversation with that person or politely leave. your job is not to call 911. do not call 911. you might kill that person if you call 911.

turning my grief into anger at racial healthcare disparities bc why the fuck was a fucking DOCTOR mocking my grandmother who had Just been diagnosed with fucking stomach cancer about what he assumed her diet to be!! "oh i bet you eat plenty of hamhock and fried chicken and pork chops 🤗" and the nurses neglecting her bc "oh you're independent you can do this yourself ☺️". we know that if she'd gone to see someone as soon as she had symptoms they would have dismissed everything outta hand. no fucking wonder she waited so. fucking. long bc she knew Exactly how black people (Especially black women) are treated in by the majority of medical professionals: like god damn animals.

There is no autism that makes white people unable to understand racism and when they're being racist. Please. Be serious with yourself and us.

out of all the star trek chief engineers i think miles o’brien is the least likely to be a machinefucker. i think he loves his job but does not eroticize it. trip tucker is in the middle he would fuck a machine as long as it had tits and a sexy voice. b’elanna and geordi would go a step farther they would fuck a machine as long as it had a vaguely humanoid form but are happy to get pretty abstract with it. scotty would fuck the enterprise as is

it’s kind of hard talking to people in school who considered themselves disabled/disadvantaged but who aren’t significantly impeded because sometimes i’ll say “man i’m struggling so much in college, my gpa has taken a serious hit”, and they’ll be like “omg totally, i was barely able to make it out with straight As this semester” or “ugh right like i got a B” and then i glance at my 2.1 gpa and realize we are not the same. and it sucks that no one seems to actually understand how exhausting and frustrating and maddening it is to be disabled in a way with no workarounds that significantly impacts your ability to perform well in school, with professors who are unwilling to understand or accommodate and a campus you can hardly access/maneuver. and of course you can’t just devote endless energy into your studies to make up for it. and it’s very isolating when no one around can relate to this

Any other disabled people think its fucked up that its up to ablebodied people as to what “reasonable accommodation” is

you kind of have to be genuinely insanely isolated from even thinking about real world racism to be seeing these ""slurs for robots/AI users 🤪"" and not have alarm bells going off about how clearly they're based on real world violent slurs for people of color. the fact that you didn't think about it is itself a problem, not a defense!!

yeah, chronic illnesses are so trendy these days. it couldn't have anything to do with the ongoing mass-disabling pandemic that everyone is so keen to ignore, right?

If you’re not ready to have a deaf child don’t have children.

we should never let sanism slide, no matter how common it is or how it's integrated into so much modern vocabulary. if someone uses mental illness as an insult, let it irritate you. don't get used to it, don't let it be normal. be so annoying about it. be the one friend who is too woke because otherwise it can never end.

be annoyed when "delusional" is said as an insult. be annoyed when the words "narcissist" & "abuser" are used interchangeably. be annoyed when "psychotic" is used to mean "dangerous."

this behavior is not cool & we need to stop letting it slide. get obnoxious.

“You don’t know what pain is really like, once you get to my age—“ SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT THE FUCK UP OH MY GOD

sometimes my response to “how are you doing” is that im struggling to be a human.

but i need to stop putting that blame on me, like im doing something wrong and struggling with basic human actions

im not “struggling to be a human” im disabled. im disabled and this is just harder for me

I would love to see scoliosis representation in media (canon or fanon) that isn't just a character wearing a back brace. I think any depiction of scoliosis is SO RARE to come across that all (well researched) rep is so welcome...At the same time, as someone who never wore a brace, I can't help but feel so left out of the picture sometimes.

There's one character I know who has a spinal fusion surgery scar. That's my own fursona 😭
