"Friends Dont Look At Friends That Way" COWARD. I Look At My Friends With Awe In My Eyes, My Chest Is

Shout out to people who are frustrated with their mobility aids:

People who need more supportive aids than they have.

People who need less supportive aids than they have.

People who need a custom mobility aid but can't access it.

People whose family/caretaker(s)/doctor(s) are preventing them from getting best aid for them.

People whose mobility aids are broken and can't be easily fixed or replaced.

People who have the right mobility aid for them but face a lot of inaccessibility.

People with big, noisy, or otherwise attention-grabbing aids that draw unwanted attention.

People whose mobility aids cause pain, fatigue, or other symptom increases that can't be remedied.

It's ok to have mixed or negative feelings about your specific mobility aid or about needing an aid in general. Expressing frustration about your aid isn't being ungrateful or setting back progress in disability acceptance. It's normal to be frustrated when you're being prevented from living the life you want to live.

My sister's dog is a malamute mix, and while he's not quite as large, he got all the malamute fur. "Sister dearest," I say, "your carpet is lying on me again." Meanwhile, I struggle to breathe.

One of my ancestors from the 1600s: that's my favorite :D

people with tooth decay aren't bad people. they aren't lazy either. neither are they unclean or irresponsible. tooth decay doesn't make you a bad person. you don't deserve mockery, judgement, or tooth pain for having any. the only thing people with tooth decay deserve is healthcare.

I was sexually abused by my best friend back when I was a little autistic kid. I was so much more vulnerable than any of my classmates because I was autistic. No one talks about things like this.

april is sexual assault awareness month, and i just wanted to hold space for all of the disabled people who have been taken advantage of and abused in that way. disabled people are statistically way more likely to be abused and that includes sexual abuse as well. along with being more likely to be sexually abused we are also more likely to not have the crimes against us reported. I think a lot of people forget about disabled people in conversations about sexual abuse and assault and especially the nuances of being disabled and being taken advantage of in that way and especially how it changes your perception of your body and your disability. I am a victim of sexual abuse and some of which was perpetrated because of my disability, and i don't see really anyone talking about how common it is, and just how fucked up it is. to others who have been in similar situations, you aren't alone, and there is no excuse for anyone to take advantage of anyone in that way.

(I bring a sort of “Everyone has inherent worth regardless of their productivity” Vibe to every conversation that ableists don’t really seem to like)

I accidentally pronounced Geiger counter as gayger counter, and I will now be referring to my gaydar as nothing else.
