being disabled is so wild bc you’ll be like “oh i’m sorry i can’t come to this thing you invited me to! i want to be there but i don’t think my body will be able to handle it” and people will still be like “so im not a priority for you?”

I think the reason a lot of leftists struggle with disability justice is that they haven't moved past the concept that discrimination isn't bad because it's objectively "wrong." yes, sexists are objectively wrong when they try to claim women are dumber than men. yes, antisemites are objectively wrong that jewish people are inherently greedy and run the state. yes, racists are wrong when they try to claim that white people are the superior race. and so on.
but then with disabled people, there are a lot of objective truths to the discrimination we face. people with IDs/LDs do fall behind and struggle with certain concepts. physically disabled people are often weaker and less capable of performing demanding tasks than able bodied people. many of us with mental illnesses are more reckless and less responsible. a lot of us are dependent on others and do not contribute much "worth".
and guess what? disabled people still deserve a place in the world. disabled people still deserve the supports they need. because they are people, and that should be enough to support them and believe they deserve a place at the table.
if your only rebuttal against discrimination is its objective inaccuracies, you are meeting bigots where they are at. you are validating the very concept that if and when people are truly incapable of being equal to the majority, that means they are worth less. this causes some leftists to then try to deny the objective realities of disabled people and/or become ableist themselves.
your rallying behind marginalized groups should start and end with the fact that people are completely worthy of life and equity, because they are fellow human beings and that should, frankly, be enough.

Happy pride everyone , this month Zionists and Israelis will be making posts like these to justify their treatment of palestinians. don’t fall for it, this is pink washing. the term "pinkwashing" was literally coined specifically for Israel.
Tumblr media
if they refuse to protect their own queer israeli, why should we let them cast judgement against queer people who actually want to stop their genocidal mania?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Don't let them use LGBT rights, which they do not believe in in the first place, to make people support their slaughter of innocent civilians.

Any and all walks can be vastly improved by encountering Some Manner of Beast.
Dog, cat, squirrel, deer, rat, duck, vaguely interesting bird - all add +15 at least to the overall walk quality

The Disability Library
I love books, I love literature, and I love this blog, but it's only been recently that I've really been given the option to explore disabled literature, and I hate that. When I was a kid, all I wanted was to be able to read about characters like me, and now as an adult, all I want is to be able to read a book that takes us seriously.
And so, friends, Romans, countrymen, I present, a special disability and chronic illness booklist, compiled by myself and through the contributions of wonderful members from this site!
As always, if there are any at all that you want me to add, please just say. I'm always looking for more!

and more. public. toilets.
"walkable cities" would be cool sure but, lets not forget other accessible features like wheelchair ramps and ya know
more benches and general places to sit because some people like me can't stand long without pain? . Is it really an accessible city if it only is "walkable" and caters to abled people? I don't think so. People seem to forget this fact when talking about the walkable cities talk I've noticed ..The disappearance of more and more benches to the point now to where there really are none (at least where I live unless its a park) is very disturbing.
