it’s wild that most people don’t need to take 6 extra strength pain relievers every day just to get by

it’s so cool how every part of my body hurts all the time and when i go to the doctor for unbearable pain they just shrug and send me home

and to extend past niceties, disabled people shouldn’t have to respect or conform to ableist policies

i shouldn’t have to be nice to professors who have a blatant disregard for disability equity

i find it hard talking to abled people because so many of them can’t comprehend not having the energy to do the dishes or brush your teeth

thinking again about vampirism as disability

professor “i’m not ableist�� making you jump through hoops to keep out the lazies and the fakers

professors think they’re champions of disability justice when they’re just barely hiding their disdain for you and your disabilities

not to be an asshole but i think a lot of disability discourse on this website cannot comprehend the idea of being physically disabled in a way which is like. not at all negotiable or flexible. like i think it's great that we're pushing people to understand that disability is nuanced and that there are disabilities which are not visible forms of physical disability but also like. sometimes you straight up cannot climb stairs. no not even on a good day not even when you "have enough spoons" it is just not physically possible. or you cannot get on and off a bus without struggling or without help. or it is physically not possible for you to bathe yourself. and it's not about "and you force yourself to push through it because of the internalized ableism" because you literally cannot physically fucking do it. like i am not trying to be mean but i feel like it frequently strikes me that people talking about disability seemingly do not understand the concept of I Literally Cannot Do This No Matter How Much I Want To Or Try Like It Is Physically Not Possible

being chronically ill sucks cuz its like no i am actually responsible and not flaky and i care about the things i pursue but my body feels like it's on fire so i have to listen to it and forego every other responsibility i have today please believe me please believe me please believe me

There's a difference between "disabled" and "legally recognized as disabled," and I just want to give a shout-out to all the other disabled people who don't have formal diagnoses, who don't have access to benefits of any kind, who don't have the ability to use even the shittiest and least-helpful resources, because the process of getting legal recognition for disability sucks ass.

And another shout-out to all the disabled people who purposely avoid getting diagnosed, because official diagnoses can be used against you, and you're unable or unwilling to risk it.
