semi verbal person here:

stop trying to read people’s AAC while we’re crafting a sentence.

for context, that’s essentially the equivalent of reading someone’s mind while they’re trying to figure out what to say.

While I was out with my boyfriend, some kid who was talking about being a gangster turned to me and went, "Look at her cane! Kick her cane!!!" 😭 Reminder that even though a lot of people who use canes can walk without them, DONT KICK PEOPLES CANES??? I thought that was common knowledge but I fear it isn't...

[chronicallyill-loser08]

Do able-bodied people have any idea, do they even have the slightest f*cking clue how embarrassing it is to “just lean” on them?

like today, I was forced to walk through a museum with horrendous vertigo and tremors in my legs. my legs literally would *not* cooperate. I couldn’t walk properly. so what happened? I had to lean on not just one, but two people. and not even a casual lean. I was *gripping* onto both of them just to stay upright.

and the whole time it’s “take a seat, you need rest.”

yeah, I do. you’re right. but I didn’t come to the museum to sit on a f*cking bench. I came to see the museum. the art. the exhibits. the stuff I was excited about. not to sit and watch everyone else enjoy it without me.

“just lean on me then.”

sure. why not. that’s already mortifying enough, but okay, because my cane isn’t helping today and that’s the only mobility aid you’ll “let” me use. so yeah. I’ll lean on you. not because I want to, but because I have No. Other. Choice.

and then while I’m doing that, you’re constantly stopping to look at stuff *you* like—stuff I don’t even care about—but I don’t get a choice, do I? I can’t just wander off and go see what *I* want. it’s either stick with you or try to walk away, collapse, and make a scene.

or worse:

“you wait here, I’ll be right back.”

so now I’m standing awkwardly in the middle of the room, no one to lean on, completely unsupported. and someone asks me to move. I can’t. and I have to explain myself, again and again:

“yeah, I can stand, I just can’t walk.”

“no, really, just go around me.”

“sorry, my human mobility aid wandered off.”

and all of this wouldn’t even be a problem if I was allowed anything else. I’m not even asking for a wheelchair at this point. just something. forearm crutches, a rollator, literally anything that lets me support myself on both sides. anything but having to rely on you.

it’s humiliating. it’s exhausting. it’s frustrating beyond belief. I just want to be able to enjoy things like a normal person. I just want to walk without it turning into a whole thing

I’m so. damn. tired.

IDC about shipping, but if you're fine with someone who is fine communicating with someone who is a nazi, but also misgenders another person, and is fine with the r slur then you need to reevaluate your priorities.

Halloween PSA: if you see someone using a mobility aid this Halloween, and you don't know them, don't joke about it or assume it's just their costume. I just had a complete stranger jokingly tell me I should be more hunched over to walk with a cane (I'm dressed as a witch). It's. Not. My. Costume. My body just doesn't work. I can't take my disability off at the end of the night. And please, if you're not sick/disabled, don't use mobility aids as costume props. Have a safe night, and be respectful.

i was in this local comicbook shop today and this place is one of my favourite places to go to as the autistic nerd i am.

i use a rollator to get around as im disabled and have chronic pain.

i was standing in one of the aisles talking to a couple of my friends and the worker there comes up to us and motions a walker and tells us we're in the way.

i get if there was people trying to get past, or if we were mucking about and making a mess, but we were literally just standing there, looking at products, AND THE FACT THAT HE SINGLED ME OUT WITH DIRECT EYE CONTACT AND MOTIONED MY ROLLATOR.

like thanks for the reminder that i as a disabled person am not welcome in public!!

especially with the fact ive only recently started using my rollator and am trying so hard to build my confidence with it

[yrfemmehusband]

seeing people i haven’t talked to since i started using a cane is so hard, especially in public.

be they a regular at my store, or an acquaintance, it’s always “WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU” “WHAT DID YOU DO” “ARE YOU OKAY?”

and i don’t know how they expect me to- in public, usually while im working- explain every symptom that led to my need for a cane. if you must ask, ask quietly in private. but it’s genuinely none of your business why someone may use a mobility aid! just treat us as you would normally if it weren’t there!

[cryoverkiltmilk]

Cain and Abel becomes darkly funny to me when you think about the fact that up until then, murder didn't exist, and indeed mortal death did not exist.

Cain: Bro? Bro, get up. BRO. Why aren't you moving?

...

Well this is a pickle.

[cereal-cutie-pie]

Had a run-in with some kids. It was late, I was just going for a walk and using one crutch. The kids yelled something like pretty abelist to me, then ran. I wasn't too bothered by it because I know they're just kids, couldn't have been over 10, but I beg of you if you have kids to monitor what they're watching online or saying to their friends and keep an eye out for any behaviours like that.

They most likely heard the phrases online, as it was pretty gen-alpha sounding, but like, surely we should be doing better as a society at this point? It was just disappointing to see kids so unabashedly yelling at a visibly disabled person and thinking it was funny :T

Dia dos Namorados

Summary: Não obstante, todos estavam bastante animados com exceção de um certo albino marionetista. Ele não suportava aquela data.

Notes: Apenas uma ideia que surgiu enquanto eu olhava algumas fan arts. Era pra esta fanfic ter sido postada no dia 14 de fevereiro porque como o próprio título aponta, seria o Dia dos Namorados. Eu sei que atrasei um tantinho, mas para todos os efeitos, vamos fingir que essa história foi postada no dia 14/02, sim?

Bom, sem mais delongas, boa leitura!

~*~

O clima não podia ser mais romântico na Easton. Com a chegada do Dia dos Namorados, todos os jovens estudantes estavam com os hormônios à flor da pele. Enquanto alguns criavam a coragem dentro de si para se declararem, outros ficavam na expectativa de terem seus sentimentos correspondidos. Não obstante, todos estavam bastante animados, com exceção de um certo albino marionetista. Ele não suportava aquela data.

Todo ano era a mesma coisa: tornava a se recordar do final trágico que teve sua mãe, o dia em que teve sua vida covardemente tirada pelas mãos de um necessitado faminto.

- No fim das contas eu também sou um fraco, afinal não pude salvar você... – Suspirou o albino em desolação ao encarar a pequena boneca que segurava em seus braços. Tudo o que mais desejava no momento era que o fatídico dia terminasse tão rápido quanto sua chegada.

- Seria incômodo eu te acompanhar em meio à melancolia? – Ao ouvir a pergunta, teve seu fluxo de pensamentos interrompido e virou-se para encarar o dono da voz.

Abyss esbanjava um sorriso terno em seu rosto enquanto aguardava a resposta de Abel à sua indagação, que não tardou a vir. A partir de um leve aceno do albino, o azulado teve sua confirmação e foi se aproximando timidamente do marionetista. Suas mãos pareciam esconder algo em suas costas.

- Sei bem como é. Certos acontecimentos nos fazem questionar a razão de nossa existência e o nosso valor como humanos. Será que vale à pena continuar vivendo? Eu honestamente acreditava que não até ter conhecido você...

Abel se sobressaltou com essa confissão. Sempre considerara o que fizera pelos integrantes do Magia Lupus o mínimo. Então, a sinceridade de Abyss aquecera seu coração. Era uma sensação aconchegante e acolhedora, que há muito não sentira e sequer cogitava fazer tanta falta a si. O azulado prosseguiu:

- Você não só me deu motivos para continuar existindo, como também me fez experimentar o que realmente significa estar vivo. Tudo pode ter começado como uma causa na nossa irmandade, mas é justamente ela que nos une como uma verdadeira família e por mais que tenhamos perdido a batalha, nada foi em vão. Quero que continuemos sendo uma família e que pudesse contar mais comigo nos momentos de vulnerabilidade... – Um rubor se instalou nas faces de ambos após proferir essas palavras.

- Somos humanos, Abel, temos nossos momentos de fragilidade e nada me dói mais do que não conseguir fazer nada a respeito. Não sou capaz de desfazer o ocorrido ou modificar suas memórias, mas ao menos, permita que eu seja seu esteio e a sua fonte de esperança inesgotável. – Após essa declaração, as mãos de Abyss deixaram suas costas revelando o que estivera escondendo até o presente momento: uma caixa de chocolates em formato de coração. Ao abri-la os inúmeros chocolates em formato de boneca contidos em seu interior foram revelados.

- Feliz Dia dos Namorados. – Disse enquanto levava uma boneca de chocolate até sua boca, deixando-a levemente presa aos seus lábios enquanto fechava seus olhos num convite discreto a um beijo.

Após captar a indireta lançada a si, os instintos mais primitivos de Abel pareceram despertar e não tardara a consumar aquele ato tão aguardado por ambos. No instante seguinte, seus lábios selaram-se levemente aos do azulado dando início a um beijo calmo, porém igualmente inebriante e repleto de significado. Todas as suas tristezas, medos, inseguranças e desabafos foram colocadas ali, abrindo espaço para que um novo e puro sentimento os preenchessem. 

Talvez o Dia dos Namorados não precisasse ser tão ruim assim. Enquanto tivessem um ao outro, não havia nada que não pudessem superar juntos.

~*~

Notes: Por mais que Abyss e Abel não sejam um casal canônico na obra original, a dinâmica existente entre os dois é tão maravilhosamente encantadora, que abre espaço para imaginarmos tantas possibilidades de cenários e interações entre eles.

Edit: @meinoart, sorry! I didn´t give the proper credits before! Dx

Found it on Pixiv quite sometime ago and didn´t remember the name of the artist, so I just put #credit to artist in the tags. I hope it´s not too late to give proper credits

Also, my other fanfics follow the same pattern. I´ll look again for the names of the artists and update the tags and the credits.

I´m really sorry :(

Children and abelism (aka our experience at a concert)

[TW: Abelism (in children)]

A little less nice thing that happened at the concert this pic was taken (it's funny I promise, well the picture)

To explain very plainly, there was a fanpit area which was directly at the free standing outside stage and we won tickets for it.

But you know, we are also disabled so of course we couldn't be there. Instead we were where all disabled folks was (which were extremely nice), which was an area directly beside to the right of the stage and only disconnected with the fanpit due to an free standing fence.

And at some point a lot of kids ages 8-12 max appeared before us (in the fanpit area) and everything was fine till they started to climb the fucking fence and started sitting on it.

You know, the thing which made us, multiple disabled wheelchair users, unable to fucking see anything. (Not to mention the ground was hanging on one side so we constantly were pulled down by gravity)

At first a very nice semi verbal girl tried to show them text on her phone to make them move, it didn't work. Their only reaction was eye rolls and disgusted looks like she was some sort of alien and contagious.

At some point we were so fed up, we literally half yelled (it was loud so it barely count, sadly) at those girls to get the fuck off the fence, which finally worked. But we also got the pleasure of getting one of the most blatantly ablestic counters ever.

"Well, then get better places next time"

Oh yeah kid, cause we totally are here cause we could have better options. It's totally not like the organisations mostly forget about us so we can neither go to a toilet or buy a drink or even properly see over the crowd. It's so fun to be disabled, you wouldn't believe /s /neg

Like, the fuck?? I know that at that age kids can be assholes, we've been there, but like what??? It's such a disgusting thing to say, not to add extremely inappropriate

(But okay, in opposite to that, the girl previously mentioned and another one both said how cute we looked and how much they appreciate that we did that cause now they can see the band, so that made our day ^^ /vpos)

So people only really started to take my pain seriously after I started using a cane.

I started using it about a week ago an already my family has been talking about physical therapy and stuff, which is a bit ironic since I spent basically my whole life having constant knee pain and occasionally other joint pains, but thankfully most days I could walk without too much difficulty.

I didn't really know what it was like to live pain free until now. I noticed only about the age of 12 that the normal baseline pain was exactly zero, and even then it took me a while to come to terms with that.

I'm still quite young , so I am honestly disappointed but not surprised that family and medical professionals didn't take me seriously then and don't really now.

Although I find it interesting that immediately upon having some physical marker that denotes me as a disabled person, I get listened to. If people behaved the same way then like they do now it could have saved me multiple years of pain and exhaustion. It makes me kind of furious that this is all it took and it couldn't have happened earlier. At the same time I know I'm lucky to get help now rather than later, and that at least my joint pain is somewhat treatable. I will still keep using the cane though because of other health issues that are, from what I can tell chronic.

TW: ableist language

Haven't been on here in a bit because my life's been pretty good but because I'm disabled ableism just had to come and ruin it. I've been trying to get a wheelchair since January, it's July now (disability pride month too, ofc that's when i find this out but whatever) and my doctor who I've only seen once (I recently had to switch my primary care doctors because of reasons i wont get onto on here) and she declined my wheelchair perscription. Mind you I didn't ask her for the perscription I asked a previous doctor for that and she just came in and declined it. I sent an email to follow up on our first appointment together where i requested forearm crutches which she also declined, putting in a perscription for a rollator instead which okay fine whatever. But I sent the follow up email and she told me that for my health she couldn't do that because using a wheelchair would weaken me as I would be using it on a daily bases to help with my dizziness. First of all, none of that was true. I would only be using it during my FND flares which make walking difficult, painful and sometimes impossible so she got both of those things wrong. And I'm just so pissed because A) she declined a perscription that I didn't even ask her for and B) the reasoning she gave for it was bullsh!t. I know this is the life of being a wheelchair user and I just want to cry and scream and talk to my mom but I can't because I have and each time she's sided with the doctors who have refused me this mobility aid. She'd sided with the people who told me "it wasn't that serious" or that me getting a wheelchair "wasn't a prority" even though I came into the doctors office unable to walk, and my flares leave me stranded on the couch for days and sometimes even weeks. Once it was almost a month. And these people who don't even understand my body keep telling me the same thing and refuse to help me because of their ableist ideas. And I love my mother I do, she just wants her healthy babygirl back but she wont get her. The least she can do is help me regain the freedom and independence that i lost when i got sick. Unfortunately I know that isn't going to happen, that's just life for disabled and chronically ill teens, especially women of color like me.
