disabled people are allowed to have hobbies that clash with our disabilities by the way
I'm allowed to like journaling even if my hand tremors make it so I can't do something as "pretty" as an abled bodied person
I'm allowed to like crocheting even if it's bad for my joints and it takes me double the time it would take someone else to finish a project
and yes I'm trying to switch to knitting which is lighter on the hands, but even that - even fucking using my phone - makes my finger hurts
I'm allowed to complain about it, just like you - specially if you're abled - are not allowed to tell me off about it
it's so hard for us to find joy, you're not allowed to police the small things that help

shoutout to every person who deals with incontinence. i dealt with bedwetting up until my early teens, and now deal with stress and urge incontinence and for years never wanted to talk about it because of the shame and stigma other people place on not being able to control your bladder or bowel movements.
incontinence is a disability. it's not gross or wrong to talk about incontinence. incontinent people are not dirty or disgusting. if we could control these parts of our body, we would. we're not an inconvenience for being this way, and we don't have to be treated like a burden or like we need to be "fixed".
whether or not you use incontinent products like briefs, pads, diapers, plastic bed sheets, or whatever else, you are loved, important, and deserved to be seen when there are conversations about disability awareness and acceptance. we don't deserve to hide in shame when all we need is to be accommodated and accepted.

Accommodations are not special, they’re not a leg up, they’re not a benefit. They’re not putting anyone ahead in the race, nor are they taking anything away from others.
They exist to put us on a level playing ground to everyone else, and nothing more.

Self destructive behavior pertaining to disability isn’t talking about enough
Forcing yourself to do activities that you know will hurt your body is bad!
Making yourself not use your mobility aid when you know you need it is bad!
Not taking your medicine because you want to get worse or just don’t care anymore is bad!!!!!
I think that mental illness can definitely manifest differently for disabled people. It’s not rlly talked about because this all stuff that ableds see as inspiring or us pushing through. It is just harmful behavior.
Since every single disabled person is or has been mentally ill this stuff is just seen as normal.

3,500-year-old burial of Nubian woman reveals 1 of world's earliest known cases of rheumatoid arthritis
Tumblr media
The 3,500-year-old pockmarked skeleton of an ancient Nubian woman could be one of the earliest known cases of rheumatoid arthritis in the world, scientists say.
Archaeologists discovered the woman's skeletal remains in 2018 while conducting excavations at a cemetery located along the bank of the Nile near Aswan, in southern Egypt. Analyses revealed that she would have stood around 5 feet (1.5 meters) tall, been around 25 to 30 years old when she died and lived sometime between 1750 and 1550 B.C. The researchers published their case study in the March issue of the International Journal of Paleopathology.
Because the skeleton was so well preserved and contained most of its bones, including its hands and feet, the researchers were able to conduct a thorough osteological analysis of the remains. Read more.

chronic fatigue is such a bitch because it's not super obvious at first. it creeps up on you some days, but other days, that's just the entire day. you start your day exhausted as hell, and like yeah, you're aware that you're tired, but you blame yourself for feeling this way. it's always your fault somehow. then comes the end of the day and you realize that it was your chronic fatigue, and you blame yourself for beating yourself up all day long. you can't win

Artist whose hands shake and/or hurt?
Do you use clip studio? I made this tweaked G brush specifically to help me when my hands/arms hurt or are weak and not responding. It's really good, if someone wants to make it.
Tumblr media
You can probably apply these settings to other brushes and make yourself a stable/smooth version for at least some of your faves that you can switch to when shit's fucked.
If you don't have any problem using your hands and just want to have to put less effort into getting things to look less like you drew it while running and sneezing, it's for you too. You deserve. Reposting to other sites is totally fine, I don't care about links or whatever. Just tell people how to make a stable version of their brush if you want, that'd be great.
