#DISABLED

I actually love masking. I think masks are great. I genuinely like wearing a mask. I want to wear masks. Besides all the actual reasons for wearing masks it reduces any and all smells and i don't feel as exposed. It's simply part of my character design!

a nurse said this to me today-

what is it with able bodied people saying “get well soon” after you say that you’re chronically ill?? like? i am not gonna? and i once literally responded with “i’m not gonna, it’s chronic, as in permanent.” and they went like “oh well, hope you get better!” like bro 💀

Why is it always up to disabled people to look after other disabled people. Why do able-bodied people feel no obligation to assist? Why do they throw the additional responsibility on disabled individuals. Why is their whole system built on isolating groups??

it feels a little isolating to be non-human with a feeding tube and i was wondering how many other non-humans are physically disabled or chronically ill as well? where are yall, and if you post i will definitely follow you!!

shoutout to the people who have an "abnormal" or "awkward" gait

it's not talked about a lot on here but there are so many different abnormal gaits for a multitude of reasons, and I am someone who has an abnormal gait. I often drag my foot or waddle like a duck because of my hips and knee issues.

it often makes people give me strange looks, stares, and I've also been accused of being intoxicated for it, it is embarrassing sometimes.

Made the tiniest bit of adjustment to this flag, to neaten the lines.

This flag is BEAUTIFUL! Please please PLEASE reblog and popularize this! Disabled queer people still are left out of so many LGBTQIA+ conversations, and even pride month or queer spaces (ie; queer bars) don't have sufficient accommodations for them.

If you don't already know, this flag is based on the previously existing disability flag(s).

I was sad seeing the ‘inclusivity flag’ did not mention disabled people at all. Disabled people are often left out of pride events due to a lack of accessibility, being thought of as being unable to communicate their queerness and infantalisation of disabled people.

I propose this flag which includes zigzag stripes and more muted colours as a reference to the disability flag. Because queer, disabled people are so often left out from pride events it is important we be remembered.

[Alt text two versions of the inclusivity flag - one of which includes the intersex flag. 

Both of these inclusivity flags have been made to have more muted colours and the rainbows zig-zagging down the flag, akin to that of a disability flag. 

There is a dark grey background in the gaps at the top and bottom of the flag.]

Hey guys, my girl Nyssa could really use a hand with getting the money for her meds to get through her really bad bout of COVID this week.

She needs 483 bucks in total. Please boost and help if you can.

i feel like any time i express a problem, i get the same answer.

"you have to do it eventually."

i'll have to learn to drive eventually, i'll have to work eventually, i'll have to move eventually, etc. i'll have to be independent eventually.

but i truly, from the bottom of my heart, don't think i ever will. i don't think i ever could.

and i don't know why that's so hard for people (abled and neurotypical) to understand.

i graduated highschool this year. i know i'll never be able to go to college. it's hard to know where to go from here. especially without the support i know i need.

That feeling when you have to put “rest” on your to do list so you can make sure you can do something you *want* to do and not be totally crashed.
