i feel like i do 25% of what an average person does in a day and still it's too much

Perhaps this will be thought of as being too woke but it's really discouraging that people are constantly inventing new reasons to think of people with slow reaction times or who misunderstand instructions as evil or idiotic or soulless. Like complaining about older people having a blank stare while they try to process what the barista said or whatever. Oh, they have the evil bad people lead poisoning. They're brain damaged. They have Facebook brainrot. They're NPCs, whatever, etc. As someone with bad sensory processing from psychosis and ADHD (you people can't do anything haha I know omg disabled person is disabled) I so often end up lagging there trying to understand what I'm supposed to do. I have trouble reading the instructions on the keypad, I have trouble processing the push or pull on the door, I have trouble processing the words being said to me and following instructions. You can still think I'm a piece of shit customer and that's fine but going online and seeing people act like this behavior makes you subhuman and non-concious is soooo depressing

people with tooth decay aren't bad people. they aren't lazy either. neither are they unclean or irresponsible. tooth decay doesn't make you a bad person. you don't deserve mockery, judgement, or tooth pain for having any. the only thing people with tooth decay deserve is healthcare.

dear autistics who

white

low support needs

not need 24/7 support

can work independently

can pay taxes

language privileged

intellectual & cognitive privileged

who can fit in societal definition of useful & productive (yes, even if hard)

when fight back against eugenics & ableism, you NEED to fight alongside, fight with, n fight for autistics who

radicalized & POC

from places of world where there critically lack autism knowledge n support

visibly autistic

higher support needs

need 24/7 care

can’t work independently or even work at all

can’t pay taxes

nonverbal, nonspeaking, minimally verbal, without functional communication, or cannot communicate via language at all even AAC

w intellectual disability or cognitive disabilities

who cannot fit into society definition of useful n productive, no matter how hard we try

because we always are & always will be primary target.

because we most vulnerable most marginalized within our, OUR community, which you belong in.

because once they finish us off you won’t be spared.

I'm so tired of living in a "but some people will take advantage of the system!" system. I'm ready for a "but some people won't get what they need from the system!" system.

brain fog is so stupid. Like what do you mean my body is in such rough shape I have nothing but my thoughts but also I can't think?

The crazy part about pain is that it actually hurts alot

*showing visible symptoms* oh my god i need help desperately

*symptoms go away for one day* what if im just faking it

Nerve pain in my hands makes me want to commit crimes

Trying to remind myself that im allowed to take painkillers even if the pain is "my fault".

A migraine is a result of, not a punishment for forgetting to eat - take the painkillers.

Back pain is a result of, not a punishment for poor posture - take the painkillers.

Sore joints are a result of, not a punishment for overexertion - take the painkillers.

Pain is not a punishment for a mistake. Painkillers are there to ease suffering. There is no glory in misery. There is no virtue in agony.

"terminally ill people should be allowed to choose to die if they feel it is the best decision for them" and "euthanasia can easily become eugenics" and "we should provide support for depressed and suicidal people" are statements that can come into conflict but should all be respected

[running-out-of-spoons]

Doctors are like: ughhhhh. You're confusing. Come back if you die

[running-out-of-spoons]

i must take painkillers. painkillers are the pain killer

Ok fellow chronically ill folks, there's a lot of great memes and screenshots flying around our part of Tumblr but a lot of them are missing image descriptions which means these valuable posts are inaccessible to some.

So I have an offer: if you don't have the spoons to write an image description yourself and/or can't find a version with an ID to reblog, send it to me in an ask or a DM and I will write an ID as soon as I can for you.

This offer is for both reblogs and your original content. If it's an image (or set of images) that you're reblogging, reposting, or sharing, send me the link. If it's an image (or set of images) that you're posting for the first time, send the images.

Disclaimer: I'm not an expert on image descriptions so once I start doing this, if I can improve them, please let me know.
