okay i need someplace to share my joy so i am choosing to post this to tumblr

I AM SO BEYOND EXCITED TO GET MY WHEELCHAIR!!

i made sure to get gel cushions on the seat and back so im comfortable sitting in it for long periods of time! and i got a cup holder, a bag, a seat belt, and a leg strap (to keep my legs in place)!!!

i genuinely cannot put into words just how happy i am. 6 years. it's been 6 years of day in and day out pain. pain that would send any other person to urgent care on a daily basis. i never thought this day would ever come. i thought i would have to spend the rest of my life walking on legs that feel as though they are dying

but now i can finally have my life back!

i can go places! i can stay out for as long as i like! i can go to the aquarium, the zoo, any park id like! i can go to the mall and shop for hours! i can meet up with friends again! i can actually live my life again!!

i won't lie, im terrified of what would happen if my family found out i started using a wheelchair when im not around them. i know id be yelled at, ostracized, belittled for "being dramatic"

but i can't live like this anymore. i refuse to live like this. i want to live again, and finally, finally, i can have that

is this the taste of freedom?

Disability blog appreciation post

Because some of you need more recognition

@disabled-systems - a culture is blog for disabled systems run by a longtime follower of ours <3

@whos-that-demon - active in the cpunk community and reblogs plenty of interesting and silly things!

@disabledsysboxes - a userbox blog for systems focused on disabilities and disorders, we made this after finding out disabled-sysboxes was transandrophobic before they archived.

@cpunk-strabismus - good friend and mutual of ours, a fellow system in the disabled and cpunk communities. Absolutely worth checking out their cpunk blog !

literally begging yall this disability pride month to remember the phys. disabled deaf people. draw them with transcription computers, draw them wearing colorful CIs and HAs, draw them using FM systems, i've never seen anyone draw them and i'd love to see representation of that. i cannot count the number of times i've been excited to see disability art only to see them all using mobility aids and feel disappointed afterwards because fuck knows when the last time you saw your disability aids.

this disability pride month include Deaf/HOH people that don't solely use sign language, who wear colorful disability aids, who use things that only their own community seems to know about

(if anyone has art of those things i mentioned i wanted seen tag me pleaseeeee)

[disabled-systems]

Disabled system culture is having chronic pain but being unable to remember how often it shows up or where it usually is.

Disabled system culture is also having alters who have different pain tolerances / are affected by the chronic pain differently and so we don't know how bad it really is

it is!! such a struggle to be a system with a disability, esp when youre trying to get diagnosed, so i feel you. our old doctor (we are in between doctors rn) was pretty dismissive when it came to our knee issues so it has been a rough journey getting a diagnosis that we just still dont have :( /nav, relating

singlet phys disabled people do also have pain fluctuations, dont forget that! you arent less valid for different tolerances. both your best and worst days count and you dont have to be suffering/miserable all the time to be chronically disabled! /supportive

this blog is friendly towards anyone who is not a bigot. I'm an adult and don't keep up with discourse, 60% of the time I have no idea what people are talking about. as long as you're acting in good faith you're welcome here.

I block: bigots (broadly), TERFs, zionists, colonization sympathizers, other people I find to be morally repulsive

A detailed intro

Hi, I'm Corvid! I'm a fox in his 20s and a therian. I grew up with a slew of health problems and mental illnesses. these all strongly affect my experiences of nonhumanity. I swap between primarily considering myself a crow or a gray fox. I am a roadrunner as well, but still figuring out where that fits in with my identity

I'm: bipolar type 1, autistic, neurologically & musculoskeletally disabled. I use a wheelchair and forearm crutches. I have diagnosed DID. I don't really identify as a system but I use the term for the sake of understanding.

I'm trans and intersex! the simplified version of my gender is intergender nonbinary man but my true gender is infinitely nuanced and impossible to pin down. my attraction is undefined but queer.

I awakened 8, almost 9 years ago in my teens! wild to think of how long ago that was. I've been in and out of the community a lot. I'm very comfortable in my identity as a nonhuman at this point.

I consider myself physically nonhuman because I am a changeling. I was swapped as an infant in this life. I am a fae in this life.

outside of Tumblr I'm a pre-OT student, artist, and hiker. I spend a lot of time on antifascist activism but I do not consider myself an activist- I feel that places me on a pedestal. politics doesn't really creep into this blog and I don't want it to. this is my frolicking through the forest life!

I have an art blog: @the-corvid-prince

and a disability/politics blog: @wheelie-sick

I love tarot but I collect tarot decks more than I read them. I consider them my crow collection, my beloved shinies. my favorite deck is the alleyman's tarot.

I call myself a hermaphrodite, this is an intersex-specific slur. if you are perisex (not intersex) you should not call me, or anyone, or anything else that word.

Just a reminder this blog isn't exactly for able bodied people, there's pretty much nothing for you here on my page unless you have family, friends or partners who are (phys) disabled

Nor is this a page about neurodivergences. While we do bring up mental health and our own mental, neurological & psychological conditions or what have you, it's pretty brief and not ever meant to be the focus or anything.

This page is by, for and about cripplepunk and the physically disabled.

[space-station-collective]

been seeing many many posts vaguely related to this and it's gotten me curious, SO it's poll time!

singlets, i love ya, but this one isn't for you. i won't be adding a "see results/not applicable" option because those often HEAVILY skew results and i'm curious what these actual comparisons are, you can come back to see the results when the poll is over

this poll does NOT apply to any psychological/mental disabilities, i'm purely talking about physical stuff. your definition or label of a physical disability is up to you, if you consider something you experience to be physically disabling, it counts for this poll

(if i get any notable number of results, i'll reblog with some thoughts on the final results when the poll is done! it's gonna go for a day, but if it finishes up and looks like it should have more time, i'll put it back up for a week the next time)

if y'all want more info to go off of, it would be amazing if you reblogged the post for more participants! /nf

[hyperlexichypatia]

Y'know, one thing I honestly struggle a lot with as a disabled person is like... with certain things I experience, where do I draw the line between "there is a very literal physical set of phenomena occurring in my neurological and related bodily systems that is responsible for my experience of these physical and emotional/mental events" and "these events are being influenced or caused by external stimuli, often related to class dynamics and oppression" and even "said class dynamics and oppression are responsible for much of said physical phenonena within my bodily systems, as they are simply an interaction/reaction to said external stimuli".

To me, it's like the nuance between how "choice feminism" is used to shut down very genuine real critiques of misogyny and patriarchal beauty standards (which are so deeply rooted in racism and white supremacism), but have also been misused to ironically deny women any autonomy whatsoever, rather than striking a balance with "these systems are fucked, much of this stems from a place of coercion and misogyny, and not acknowledging that can feed into it, but as a marginalized class within that system women (and gender minorities in general) do still have the right to decide how they want to respond to that and informed consent still does matter" if that makes sense?

I feel like I'm not able to exactly address the root of the issue for myself with disability but I think it has some to do with the social model of disability, some to do with the way cartesian dualism has been used to divide the disabled community, and some to do with how I am both anti-psych and anti-phys (the institutions including the biased science as it currently exists, not say, medication or treatment).

It's like... okay I tend to look at my own disability through a mixed medical-social lens. In a "perfect" world, neither medical knowledge nor treatment would be gatekept. I'd be able to get medication for things like what are now labeled ADHD, POTS, and MCAS, including getting compounded medication without having to have an official diagnosis of MCAS (seriously, who does it hurt other than insurance company bottom lines to just make a med without corn or milk sugars/proteins or dyes as filler ingredients -_-).

I would still, however, be disabled. I do understand that that is covered under the social model's definition of "impairment", but I also take issue with the relabeling of disability. It seems oddly euphemistic in the same way that "differently abled" does - defining disability itself as only the social access barriers that cause people to be unable to live a satisfying, fulfilling life including with "impairments", to me ignores the reality of those of us with more severe symptoms and higher support needs.

As I saw someone say so well, "chronic pain is still gonna hurt." But it's also that the pain itself is still going to significantly impact my quality of life, even with full access to treatment and meds. My symptoms are still a physical reality within my body, causing distress and dysfunction, and disabling my ability to engage in certain activities - not just "impairing" said ability. It still would have a significant negative affect in my quality of life, outside of my control. And here I am referring to activities in again, a "perfect" world, where the only reason to do them is out of pure, uncoerced and uninfluenced desire.

There's also the way that rather than actually depathologizing what we label as mental illness, its ability to be profoundly disabling and its very nature as occurring physically for whatever reason has been ignored in order to be neuroableist and sanist against neurodisabled people.

I am firmly for self-labeling, and firmly against the forced labeling of any trait as "abnormal" and "unhealthy". I do think even for self-labeling, it's important to question the premise behind many labels and explore more deeply what you are actually using said labels to mean.

I have talked at length about what "demedicalizing DID", as an example, actually entails, and how it actually increases access to resources and treatment for those that want to pursue those things.

The labels themselves are social, even if they are categorizations for material experiences in many cases. The line gets blurrier with psychiatric labels, as the experience is essentially an internal abstraction of physical phenomena, and the categories themselves are significantly more arbitrary without that solidly material basis.

"Trauma" is used as a label to essentially put the onus of class oppression on marginalized people. Things like "dopamine" and "seratonin" at this point are little more than neurochemically-named horoscopes, in a discipline I already refer to as "the astrology to neurology's astronomy" - and noting here, that neurology and medicine in general are still themselves more partially social than the significantly more mathematical discipline of physics I compare them to.

I also have a reactivity to things that I perceive (or misperceive) as divorcing "mental illness" or "neurodivergence" from any kind of physical basis. It's why I think I was initially confused about your use of "pathologization" - my own bias causing me to struggle to see the difference between what ultimately are very clearly different understandings.

It was, "We should question the categorization of certain experiences as innately pathological, meaning abnormal, unhealthy, and to be suppressed," versus "Mental illnesses are diseases of an abstracted mindsoul, with no physical basis, and can therefore be 'overcome' with a minimum of effort and can never be profoundly or physically disabling".

Which, to be clear, I didn't at all think you were saying the latter. More that I struggled to recognize the former because I had not yet divorced "physical experience" from "specific pathologizing label" in my head, and ironically seeing it laid out so clearly threw such a wrench in that existing perception that I had to go in and decouple/detangle the two to get things going again.

Really, though, it seems it's once again about informed consent in a society where "choice" is so deeply and insidiously influenced by prevailing hegemonic attitudes. It's "if you're going to label yourself disordered, it is still good to question the very premise of that label".

In a world with no access barriers and oppression, I would still have some of the same physical experiences I have now. With unrestricted access to medical treatments that directly interface and alter my biochemical processes, I would still likely not be without what we now label as "symptoms". Certainly, assuming I grew up in that world, "trauma" might very well be an unrecognizable concept as to what it is considered in our reality - assuming it even existed in any meaningful way at all.

I guess it's just - where is that balance between acknowledging the extreme influence of current societal norms and ideas about disability, the way the very language we use to talk about them is steeped in those biases, misconceptions, and assumptions, and the way that a physical result is treated as the cause itself; with the existence of varied experiences of abstracted neurological phenomena, having/creating language some need to help define and understand ourselves, and those societal causes still engendering a physical result?

Is it in the connotation? Is destigmatizing the concept of disability and "disorder" (as meaning "causing distress and/or dysfunction as defined by the person experiencing it") and stopping their misapplication enough? I admit, when my disabled identity has been repeatedly denied by ableists, my instinct is to cling to the labels that say "yes, this is an experience that makes me not able to achieve my own personal desires and goals and causes me distress".

While the concept of "ab/normalcy" is deeply unhelpful and often harmful, there are times when I at least want to say "my material experience is not the same as yours despite your insistence that it is" to people who identify as abled, who have described their perception of my experience as something oppositional to my actual experience. Not abnormal, but not identical, either.

Maybe that's getting off in the weeds. I guess just... at what point does acknowledging my own experiences as a significantly overlapped venn diagram of innate physical and purely societal causes meeting at mixed causes and societal causes of physical results, cross the line into mislabeling societal forces as innate physical events.

Is it just divorcing them from the greater context of society? It is the reversal of causality? Is it the lack of acknowledgement that the way we label these experiences is inherently tied up in the social environment surrounding them? If I view some of my experiences as entirely unrelated to and uninfluenced by that social environment (at least to the extent that is possible), while still being a natural variation in neurology (or physiology) that is itself neutral overall regardless of how I experience it, is that enough?

Is viewing the things labeled as ongoing "trauma" and "mental illness" as a natural and rational response to class oppression a factor in depathologization, as long as we also acknowledge that the labels of "trauma" and "mental health" themselves carry meaning and bias and connotations that don't uphold or even contradict that belief?

I dunno. Maybe I'm just stuck in stubbornly not wanting to give up labels I've been forced to fight for because I'm scared to admit that I could have been fighting for not having them at all while still having my needs met in the first place. Maybe I am just struggling as someone who can't actually process or understand their own experiences without language to integrate a new understanding of that language into my paradigm. Maybe some parts of us are still reactively misinterpreting "question and examine how the language we use is a social construct and how that has been wielded against marginalized identities, including your own" as some sort of threat to our autonomy and in particular self-determination.

I may very well be afraid of and biased by those things, but the one thing I'm not scared of is examining that and admitting it's a possibility.

I guess I'm sending you this ask in particular precisely because you've articulated precise analyses of these subjects so clearly. I'd love to hear your thoughts, if you're willing.

Oh, this is the ask I thought I'd lost!

So, before I start, my own bodymindbrain is VERY compromised by COVID right now. I am living that physical illness affecting cognition life.

This is a great question and I'm really struggling to come up with a thoughtful response, because so much of it, I just don't know. I have no idea "how disabling" any of my disabilities would be if I lived in a society that accepted and accommodated differences, because I've never lived in a society like that and I can only vaguely imagine it. I know that part of that goal is making it so that the supports we receive (medical, social, or otherwise) aren't contingent on any particular label or any particular concept of "disorder." And also that they're never an excuse to infringe on someone's autonomy.

On the language of it all, I'm always struggling to refine my own use of language, but it's especially frustrating because any potentially radical/liberatory use of language gets co-opted and appropriated by pathologization (like "neurodiversity," "Mad," or "anti-psychiatry"). I've left so many groups that I thought were about rejecting pathologization that turned out to be about "recovery" or "healing" (which is fine for people who are interested in those things! I'm just not one of them!).

I also struggle with my own... parts of my mind/emotions that are distressing to me... and I struggle to find words for that that aren't part of the pathology paradigm like "mental health," and also aren't spiritual because that's not what I believe. I just don't know the words. I know that I have anxiety attacks and it sucks and I hate it, but I don't know good overarching terms for "The experience of having profoundly unpleasant unwanted emotional states" or "The attempt by various means to mitigate or remediate profoundly unpleasant unwanted emotional states."

Your question is better than my answer, and I'm sorry for that, but I'm glad you asked!
