Image Description: A repost of an instagram post from @/teawithqj, with picture of Imani Barbarin, a Black disability blogger and actor, seated on a bench outside, grinning, with her name printed in pink beside her, with a quote reading:

“I’ve never once overcome my disability, but I have overcome the desire to slap someone every day of my life. 

And that’s what should be celebrated.”

You really should have thought of that before you became disabled!

Been trying to get on disability for over 2 years and I just found out they won't even review my appeal for another year. Shitposting through the pain as always

Trying to get accommodations when you have a mental health condition - or any disability for that matter - and being denied them:

Me: heck my back hurts bad

also me: *balls up into a pretzel even tighter* because it seems to be my natural sitting position unless i consciously stop myself.

An old meme I made a while ago. And yet it is still completely accurate. I hate that my identity contributes to this harmful stereotype.

Absolutely! I’m so glad that you guys are enjoying these, and I hope that you like this one as well! I’m planning on making some continuations using the various uses that you guys have suggested in your notes, so if there is anything that you want to see, please let me know!

[ID: An image featuring an edited version of the “Why Do We Have Hands” meme. The header says “Why Do We Have Power Chairs?” and is followed by a black and white cartoon image of a power chair. Underneath that reads “There Are Many Reasons”, and just below that is a series of four images with captions. They are all black and white and in a simplified style. The first image is of a person in a power chair. There are musical notes by their head to show that they are singing. The words being sung are “they see me rollin’, they hatin’”. The caption is “always ridin’ dirty”. The image to the right of it depicts a person running over another person with their power chair. The caption is “RUN OVER the ableist.” The third image to the bottom left is a close-up of the joystick of a power chair. The caption is “viddy game stick”. The fourth image to the bottom right is of a person in a power chair at a counter with another person standing behind it. The person standing is depicted as saying “It’s amazing that you can live like this”, while the person in the power chair is depicted as saying “I just want my fucking groceries”. The person in the power chair has a popping vein on their forehead to denote anger. The caption is “be an Inspiration™” /End ID]
