I say this as someone with mental disabilities, sometimes you just gotta take the L and do it. Maybe it'll cost you and send you into negative spoons but sometimes you gotta. We have a human debt we owe to one another and we have to fight for each other.

Disabilities make things hard to do safely, without pain, etc. Where you can, seek accomodations, ask for help, live your life, and do good in the world in the ways you can.

What we can't do with our disabilities? We can't sit here and wallow and use them as a shield.

#this is a separate issue from activism fatigue #this is a separate issue from curating your fandom experience #this is specifically about using anxiety depression social awkwardness whatever disability as a reason to never do anything #if you cant call then email #if you cant write the email use the gd scripts and buttons people have made for this very purpose #at some point you just need to admit you dont want to help and dont view it as important enough #and in that case? take the moral L and just be quiet instead of bemoaning how your disability means you can't do anything #honestly it's insulting to disabled activists physical or otherwise who find ways to help make our movements run #to be deleted #like full disclosure ive chickened out of going to protests!#i try to find other ways to support things #if i cant or decide not to do something #or i ask for help #idk man #sometimes walking in person to deliver a negotiation letter to your Boss is as scary as jumping in front of a bullet #i know!!!!#but it's gotta happen!!! and if you're not with us who is???? and if you're not with us who will be there with you???
