#Abelism
I don't care if your 9, 20, 35, or fucking 50. Your patents can go to the doctor with you. It's called your patient advocate.
See I have bad reactions to medications and sometimes those conversations with doctors go
"so what was your reaction?"
"Honestly I cannot remember"
Sometimes it's symptoms like brain fog that causes me to not remember. Sometimes I lose time. Sometimes I just sleep so much. There's a lot of reasons why I can't remember. But I always remember it was really bad the doctor should know I had a really bad reaction.
And I do not have a partner that can go to appointments with me.
So I bring a parent.
Why? Because when the doctor asks "What was the reaction" the parent actually remembers.
But the number of doctors that have infantilized me "You're a grown adult you don't need your parent."
And the thing is. I know what the doctor is doing when they do this. My parents won't let the doctor dismiss my symptoms because my parents are the ones that have to drive me to the emergency room when they get too bad. But if the doctor refuses to let my parent in "You're a grown adult" the "diagnosis" I get is always "Oh, it's just anxiety".
And I feel like doctors know when I'm having brain fog and therefore they can take advantage of me like that because I'm too confused to argue with them. "Oh. Why do you let your doctor talk to you like that". YEAH THAT'S A SYMPTOM OF MY MIGRAINES. THAT'S KINDA WHY I'M GOING TO THE DOCTOR.

It pride month so need remind everyone:
stop equating bigotry to intellectual and learning disability
Many of us who have learning disability and/or intellectual disability are queer too, we see you,
you are no ally to us.
---
every every every time see people argue against bigot, they make people out like self to be bigot, equal to bigot, is bigot, because "stupid, bad grammar, bad spell, bad read, bad bad bad brain".
---
saying "you're", "they're" is no gotcha.
so often we try fight for own self, or explain self, but because "stupid, bad grammar, you word bad", no take seriously, discount instantly. many many many of times in own community, told own identity "stupid, make head cave in".
and then you hold us up as target to laugh at "bigot bigot bigot haha stupid".
---
you can argue fight bigot without side step grab unrelated shit to laugh at mentally / intellectually disabled and pour out your abelism mask as "fighting bad people"
---
stop forgetting us, you dont support mentally disabled queer people
we never ever ever ever feel safe watch or read people argue against bigots, because Every time, equate people like us as bigot evil.
no care if "im disabled too, im autistic too, im mentally disabled too", no care, you eat own community alive. scum.

“Oh have you tried yoga?” “Have you tried acupuncture?” “Oh! My cousin did a juice cleanse and that worked!” “Oh have you tr—“
Oh noooooo. Did my disability remind you of your own mortality and now you feel a little scared, Nancy? That’s not my problem.

help tiktok kids want to try come at you with a seam ripper at shows for wearing an anti swastika patch.
[video description: begins with a tiktok of a young person holding a seam ripper. video transcription: why would i need to bring a seam ripper to a concert? So that if you see someone with a crossed out swastika on their jacket, you can rip it off. video description: Then a stitch video of a new speaker who is using a filter that makes them look like a face on a lemon. Video transcription: TikTok is the only place that I've seen anyone saying that they don't want Anti-Swas on the scene. I have only seen this on TikTok. The majority of the people I see sharing the sentiment are young, or, they are people who are clearly not in the punk scene. Sorry! Gonna have to call you out a little bit, but you know what? Calling people out? Especially posers? Is a time-honored tradition in our community, so, get used to it!
Anti-Swas is not as commonly misunderstood to be something that came into the scene to show Jewish punks that they're safe. It came into the scene to show white "mm" (representing redaction of supremacist) and Neo-"mm" (Nazis) that they are not safe in that crowd, in that group, in that event. That is why it's worn. And the people who wear that symbology, in my scene, historically, they wear it because they are about that. Meaning that they are going to enforce. That those individuals are not welcome.
I am a punk of Jewish heritage, I wear the symbols. The Anti-Swas. I have a shirt with a huge one on the front, I love wearing it. Patches, buttons, I love it. It makes me feel proud and happy. So let me tell you if you come at me and you rip a patch off of me, or a button off of me, with that symbology I am immediately going to assume that you are a white "mm" or a Neo-"mm" and I'm gonna hand your butt to you. Very quickly. And as hard as possible. I am going to focus all of my rage on that entire subgroup onto your face. So im gonna have to break it to you to break it to you! And also if you do it with a seam ripper which is like, the fuck? A seam ripper? Don't come to a scene with a seam ripper, that is so bizarre, you can't even rip a patch off with your bare hands? And you bring a seam ripper- (laughing). But anyways, when I realize it's a seam ripper and not a small weapon, I'm going to mock you mercilessly as I beat you.
White "mm" and Neo-"mm" would like nothing more than for us to get rid of that symbology. 'Cause then they blend in better. And then they can say that they're welcome. Or they can argue that. And we don't like leaving room for them to argue. Not in my scene. Also, getting rid of the Anti-Swas symbology is a little ableist, don't you think? A lot of white "mm" and Neo-"mm" can't read. End video transcription]
i understand why people dont agree or feel comfortable with anti swastika patches, but i want to allow this jewish person to say their opinion on the matter. They personally like it and think its effective at keeping nazi fucks out of the scene and are very proud to wear it out
just the mental image of a small lil tiktok kid approaching a guy in the pit like uwu lemme seam rip off ur patch for u

There's a genuine terror for a certain percentage of us with Tourettes that we may be actually KILLED OR ASSAULTED for ticcing in the wrong time and in the wrong place to the wrong person.
People think we're drunk or on drugs or we mean what we say and somehow that gives them the right to abuse us.
What I say as a tic is ALWAYS out of my control, but your reaction is 1000% in YOUR control.
Do better for those of us with neurological illnesses.

Hey guys, IRL Autumn here. As much as I'd love to be here with my usual jokes, This is something much more serious.
For those who don't know, the UK government has recently announced plans to cut Disabled benefits by 4.6K a year if a person isn't or won't find a work from home position.
To massively simplify the current system, Disabled benefits have 2 levels of pay, depending on your capacity for work. Those who are deemed fully incapable of work get full pay, and those who can work part time, or in a select few low impact workplaces get half pay.
The new system would require everyone no matter where they lay on that scale to find employment. For the thousands, if not millions of people that have been declared fully incapable of work, this means bending over backwards for an impossible task.
And the pay cut for those who "refuse" to comply (which in reality is the vast majority being completely unable to comply to impossible demands) is not an insignificant amount.
That is a payment reduction of over half of what that person currently recieves. An amount that already is barely sufficient to survive on.
Being disabled is inherently expensive, be it due to needing specialized equipment, specific transport needs or even specific needs in general day-to-day living.
This is not a scheme to help the current system which is admittedly underfunded. This is a system designed to force disabled people to sacrifice themselves for an unsustainable system, or die trying.
And believe me, there will be death.
This is a deliberate target of some of the most vulnerable people in our society.
This is not "toughing through the hard times for the good of the country"
This is a slaughter.

TW: Ableist language
In my school, my classmates call each other autistic as an insult. the dialog goes like this: Classmate 1: *Does a silly mistake*
Classmate 2: Are you autistic or what?
They also call each other r*t*rd*d and other crap like that.
And I'm just like:

I've heard all these and it just shows how abelist neurotypicals really are. Not everyone who is neurodivergent is the same and just because "you know someone with autism" doesn't mean all of us are the same!! Lumping us all together is abelist ASF!!
"You're using it as an excuse" is neurotypical for saying "stop being so sensitive to me making fun of you!"
"you have friends" I have 2! 3 if you include my husband!
"you don't have it that bad" it's called masking because if I revealed my true autistic traits it would make you uncomfortable. It's always "be yourself" until we are and you don't like it!
"you don't look autistic" what do you expect? Me to have 3 arms growing out of my back? Wtaf!!
The more I looked at this the angrier I got because Anyone who's different is silenced! If we speak out about the abelism, racism, or anything else we are silenced!! No more!!!

FedNow will be released July 1st and when it's implemented the US government will be able to see ALL exchanges of money that aren't cash payments. Which means if you're disabled and on SSI or SSDI and are trying to crowdfund your expenses (because SSI and SSDI don't pay enough to survive) the US government will be able to see ALL of that and deducted that from your SSI payments (meaning you'll get less money).
Please sign this petition to end FedNow.
I'm not even on disability or at risk of needing it. But this is a huge invasion of privacy. Especially because a lot of my meds have to be ordered and delivered by mail (I get them from a special compounding pharmacy) which means I don't have the option of cash payments and it's none of the government's goddamn business how much my meds cost.
I looked to see if it was open to public commentary but it's not (commentary closed in 2021). So please call your representatives. Even if you have conservative representatives. Even Republicans are hating this proposal as a huge invasion of privacy.
Call them. Email them. Don't let that social anxiety get to you. They're YOUR representatives and they are here to represent YOU.

I hate that it’s normal for parents to “mourn” their neurodivergent child (esp autistic) when they get the diagnoses. When I was doing the adhd questionnaire I had this growing happiness as everything that I’ve had a hard time with fall into place. From my mom’s perspective I was happy about being labeled broken, but from mine, I was happy about finally being able to acknowledge the massive crack running down me.

Currently sat in an 'accessible hotel room' that is on the second floor with a door so heavy i struggled to open it. All the wall mirrors are set to standing height and the corridor is only just wide enough to get a wheelchair through. This is what i mean when i tell people that just because a place says it's assessible doesn't mean it is. One of the people im staying with is an OT in training and is completely horrified that this is what passes for accessible. The review im going to leave is going to be interesting to say the least

Hey whump community, if we as a whole could stop incorrectly referring to various whumper characters as "sociopaths" "psychopaths" "bipolar" "narcissists" or any other demonized mental conditions, that would be nice.
If you're going to write a story which seriously takes into account how a mental illness, cluster b disorder, or whatever affects a character (yes, including villains) I'm fine with it so long as you put in your due research.
But if you're going to throw around improper diagnostic terms and slurs for the mentally ill simply to state that a character is "evil" or "abusive" then you are getting yourself blocked no questions asked.
