When I'm angry

When I'm angry at aunt 1 I always want to bake because that's our thing since I was a baby. When I'm angry at aunt 2 I always draw or paint something because she's an artist. When I'm angry at my mom I listen to true crime because that's what we listen to when we do our night drives. When I'm angry at my dad I listen to metal music because he quotes it to me all the time. When I'm angry at my best friend I put crazy makeup on myself because that's what we do at sleepovers. Sometimes if you love someone enough, you crave a piece of them, even when you can't stand to look at them.

Hi, I've posted on here before. I have nystagmus a visual impairment. Which for me means many things. One of which is that I can't see at all in the dark. Currently this means I can't get myself to school or stay after for clubs. I've been in drama club for 3 years now but I'm going to have to quit now because of the darker nights. Which sucks but not my main issue rn. I Currently can't get to school by myself. This wasn't really an issue before because my aunt goes to work at the same time I go to school so she can drop me on the way. However now she's starting to work 4 days a week so she can't take me 1 of the days. Both of my parents work full time so it's an issue for them to take me in the morning. These things resulted in my mom and Aunt having an argument about it. This just made me feel more like a burden. My aunt hasn't really helped this recently either as she keeps making comments. For example the other day she said "you're too soft. You're just being lazy you should be getting yourself to school" obviously not making me feel any better about any of this. None of my friends understand either because they're all able-bodied. I just feel really horrible and alone. If you have any advice please feel free to share it. Thank you. - your fav vi tortured poet

Change a single letter and change the word game

I decided this would be fun. So reblog with a new word and see how long we can make it.

The starting word is…

Disability pride month

Hi everybody I posted last year too but I thought I do it again this year lol. Happy disability pride. I have nystagmus (a visual impairment classified as uncontrollable rapid movement of the eyes). I want to talk about what disability pride means to me. It means I'm excepted, understood and cared for. This year I have started using a long white cane ( names candy) and have experienced some bullying about it. This is especially not helpful when I'm in a chronic pain flair up. Disability pride makes me feel less alone and I hope it does for other too. Love you all. Happy disability pride month! -your fav vi tortured poets;)

i feel this with my vi sometimes. It seems like nomatter how much I explain and ask for help I never seem to be believed but I've still got so many worries about my future that I feel so alone in 😔

one thing about having a disability/illness that no one in your life ever believed or took seriously is that You don’t get the opportunity to grieve. Because all your efforts are focused on convincing others you really are suffering and affirming yourself you aren’t making it all up.

naming mobility aids

Hi everyone, I'm genuinely curious if anyone else has named their mobility aids. The person who trained me too use mine said to because it would help me feel less worried about using it. So my symbol cane is called Freddie. Long white cane is called candy. I also have a little person to click on my screen for a magnifier, she's called bobbie.

please when you talk about ryan, stop trying to set him apart from his autism. he was a black autistic child who was only 15, he wanted to drive so he could help his mother out. he wanted to be normal, he wanted to be normal.. he wanted to be so many things and the police cut his life short, i think about him everyday because what if that happens to me? would i like it if no one cares that the police KILLED me and only focused on one part of my identity. he was black, he was autistic, he was a joy to be around, he had a smile on his face and no one will ever see him smile again. how does that you feel? y��all don’t even talk about him despite y’all being the mentally ill queer disabled site.

WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE FOR HIM? WHERE IS IT

please talk about him, please talk about him

your silence speaks so loud
