my collapsable cane keeps violently uncollapsing itself so my solution has been this spooky hair tie, when im using my cane i can wear it on my wrist 🖤 (ignore the bat washi tape i applied badly and now can’t seem to remove…)

This is a question from @crippled-lavender 's cripple ask game! 11.] what is something that you’re incredibly tired of hearing about your physical disability?

'But isn't there something they can do?' 'Is there a cure?' 'But you'll be okay, right?' First of all, not the world's personal educator. But most of the time, I don't mind explaining things to people who seem genuine. Because I am autistic and have i/d disability, I tend to assume most people are genuine without realizing whether they are or not, so that's a lot of people I just educate. However... there is an ugly amount of people who ask not because they're 1) concerned 2) upset that a fellow human is in pain 3) want to be educated. These people ask because they're angry. I encounter this with many different people, but with one of my work leaders particularly. They are angry I 'became' disabled, without acknowledging, ever, that I came to them disabled. They think I have been accommodated 'enough.' They equated my decision not to follow a life-long IV chemo regimen (the one that brought my mother no useble, additional relief and killed her, like a significant amount of the people who receive it) to their decision to eat a hot dog. And they want to know, essentially, 'when I'm going back.' Honey. Baby. Hon-baby. That's the neat part. I don't. These people are angry that I'm 'young' and disabled. They are angry that they see a disabled person working; in their mind, once you 'disable', life is easy. 'Young' and get the 'privilege' of accommodation. Disabled and constantly kicking up about demanding accommodation and fair treatment. Angry at me sometimes because they are old and either I have suffered in my life a way that they can't comprehend, or that I'm suffering in a similar way but did not have the years of enjoyment before. No. For my disabilities, there is nothing I can do. No, I will not be alright. And it's not my job to make anyone feel better about that or explain why or help with mental gymnastics to make it balance in your mind if you believe, whatever reason, that I can't be disabled. Whether it's my clothes, my style, my beliefs, my age, my perceived gender or orientation... I'm disabled and everything else that I am. Further inquires, complaints, info requests, etc. can be placed with God.

Disclaimer: I never have gotten asks (that haven't been personal attacks) so I just enjoy answering the questions. Please keep in mind the original post specifies that crippled (physically disabled only) are invited to use the specific questions.

Here's a picture dump of me with pictures from the last days of 2022 I hadn't posted yet ✌🏻

[bizarreaizen]

it's always "i don't judge !!" until a person is a therian or just nonhuman in general, their religion is something they don't agree with or don't see as a "real or valid" religion [like satanism or autotheism], they identify with xenogenders and use "weird" pronouns, they have a "cringy" style like emo, scene, goth, or harajuku fashion, they're disabled, they act childish and age regresses, they have extreme intrusive thoughts, they have "odd" interests, they don't have proper hygiene because of poor mental health, their identity "doesn't make any sense", they're "too fat" or "too skinny", or they're just "not attractive". stop cherry picking, you can't claim "you don't judge" when you can't accept these people. be better.

My birthday is coming up next week already! I can’t believe it. Anyone want to send a commission my way? Maybe you want to support my shops or streaming? Heck, I even have a throne if that’s more your style. My link is below for you to check out.

I am taking off this Sunday and next Wednesday from streaming but will return with an Extended Stream and Subathon Celebration on Sunday the 15th! We are going to be diving into Crisis Core and I am super stoked!

I'm really not looking forward to this 🫠 I'm sure all my alt and my chronic illness, especially POTS friends can understand why this is going to be unpleasant 🙃

This is a question from @crippled-lavender 's cripple ask game! 10.] what is something you want other people to know about your physical disability/disabilities? You can't tell if someone is disabled, even physically disabled, just by looking. Lots of people, because strangers usually decide on or two features to judge you by, will not notice my deformed bones until they're in their face, like slow acting body horror.

I use a wheelchair about half the time. Twenty five percent is canes or crutches, and the rest is unassisted. Truthfully, it's not because I don't need it, but even if it's extremely painful or will make my situation worse later, I'll walk unassisted to 'be quick' especially for others, or avoid unwanted attention or ableism that I just can't take any more of that day. I still often limp, hop, or lean. My deformities are permanent and don't disappear. But as a society with no mobility aid, even though I am still visible in suffering, struggling, and beong physically different, many people suddenly decide I'm abled, or 'invisibly disabled.' It's not invisible, moron, it's just not presenting in a way you find familiar or acceptable and you are unwilling to see it. Just because I'm not using a mobility aid right then also doesn't mean 'I'm better.' What it sometimes means: 1) I was late to work and am so used to being in pain that I forgot my cane at home. I'll hop, limp, lean, sit, swear, and use carts as walkers all day. 2) I didn't want anyone (those specific coworkers/employees, etc) staring and judging me today so limping, sitting, not using the restroom at all, not moving for breaks, using carts as walkers is somehow less embarrassing because they don't take it out on me then. 3) I didn't want an unsolicited 'is he cripple enough/the right way' evaluation from a stranger today, any stanger, abled or disabled, because you better believe I've had some shitty disabled people interactions. 4) I felt bad asking my assist to move my cheap, heavy wheelchair to and from our tiny backseat for this trip to the grocery store, so I'll go for the car ride but stay in the car. No, it doesn't matter we are now going to stop for food, other things, etc. I can't leave the car. 5) I didn't want a friend or relative to leave me behind in a store again ('it'll just be quicker!') One of my diseases is autoimmune arthritis. I've given up telling people what it is by name and instead describe it. I then get an appropriate 'that's awful' (it is, really is) or 'ow, that's brutal' (yes, you got it) instead of getting it dismissed as 'aches and pains' that 'everyone has.' It shouldn't have to be said, but my style-my haircut, my clothes, my shoes-don't magically make me not disabled. Being goth doesn't magically make me invulnerable to illness or mean I'm looking for attention by coopting a medical device. Believe it or not, as of 2023, some people have enough independent personality to choose their own clothes and be disabled at the same time! I actually don't talk about disability 24/7. You just hear it a lot because the world is not fucking accessible. I'll never not be crippled. Even if they cured my diseases tomorrow, I have permanent deformities from them. Me not using an aid is just... me not using an aid, for better or worse. It doesn't even mean it's a good day. This has helped me not judge people as harshly as I might have once, and that's good. It hurts even worse though when people assume I don't need accessibility or am not disabled, though.
