money is such an underrated accessibility option.

like people want to think any disabled person who is after money is morally suspect some way, because they're not asking for "treatments" or "accommodations" like a lot of our issues can be fixed way more easily with money. can't drive? paying for a taxi is often one of the more accessible alternatives. can't cook? you can pay more to have prepared food delivered to you. food restrictions? that food straight up costs more money. can't clean? you can pay for someone to do that. house inaccessible? having (lots) of money can help with that, you get the gist.

having money won't make us abled. it also won't stop our symptoms from being distressing, painful, or debilitating. but there's a huge gap in experience between the average poor disabled person and someone who's actually wealthy. you can buy your way out of some of the difficult situations most disabled people are left to rot in. wanting money, needing money, asking for money is pretty natural when it's such a useful tool. why get so weird about disabled people wanting money like i'm pretty sure everyone wants money anyway

mmm yes perfectly normal!

Chiitan 😭

guess whos at risk of homelessness again :)

im not gonna get into the weeds of it because i learned this at 6am and im running on very low sleep but please help me out if you can spare any amount of money right now

im still in the middle of getting my ID shit sorted and getting a diagnosis for my disability so im unable to work, and the people im living with are becoming considerably less patient and considerably more demanding of me.

please, if you can, i just need to stay afloat so that if/when i get booted out of here i have something to fall back on, but more than anything i just need to keep hold of the precarious situation im in for just a little longer while i get back on my feet.

thank you <3

Best things about being disabled:

Not necessarily being in a flare up, but it’s been two weeks of things not being right and each day you lose more hope that it’ll ever be okay again

All food and drinks are making you sick, even water churns your stomach

The weather can make your writhe in pain

Not being able to do anything, watching TV is exhausting, even scrolling on your phone requires a modicum of attention

Sitting upright is painful

Lying down is painful

Keeping your eyes open is effort

Wishing you could be the old you, the healthy you

My life is so normal & Dope besides from the occasional falls from Grace
