I need a hug from every disabled person ever right now.
I'm going through a really rough patch with my ME/CFS and chronic pain, and I'm still coming to terms with the fact that I'll most likely need to start using a wheelchair before 2025.
Can every disabled person hug me rn? Like virtually just have a little disabled moment.

deciding that affectionately referring to someone as a grandparent is some sort of ableist slur is one of the wildest takes i've seen in a while and it's genuinely baffling how much hold the idea has in certain sections of the fandom
i have such a positive association with that term as an expression of solidarity between disabled people
my (queer, neurodivergent, disabled) friend group in undergrad (in our 20s!) called ourselves "the grandmas" to express how alienated we felt from other young queers, to reclaim our "old lady bodies" and our "old-fashioned hobbies"
the middle aged and elderly folks saying my sibling and i "went old ahead of time" at low impact exercise and folk dancing classes were welcoming us into the fold and expressing solidarity
i hate the pain and fatigue of my disability, how unreliable it makes it and i occasionally resent the ways it excludes me from mainstream society
but i love elders and i'm glad to have been welcomed prematurely into their ranks
yes i know the linking of youth with ablebodiedness should be challenged, and i know my experiences aren't universal, but we also need to take things in the spirit intended. targeting disabled people expressing self-recognition through a fictional character or young folks poking fun of themselves for how disproportionately they perceive age is just weird and pointless
#also they have yet to invent a word that cannot be co-opted for ableist purposes so it's inherently like. a bad use of our already limited#energy to care about what words are ableist. it's called the euphemism treadmill you can look it up#not that that's even what's happening here but i'd be remiss to talk about disability justice and words and not mention it#block the word “grandpa” if it gives you the ick and move on.#yes i'm main tagging this because why are people getting death threats over this? who let it get so out of control?#i'll be polite and not tag the character tho#dungeon meshi#dunmeshi#my dm thoughts#fandom discourse#actually disabled

mutual aid request
[pt: mutual aid request. end pt]
hi i am a physically disabled person who struggles with severe chronic pain and i have my MRI on monday but i dont really have money to get to it since they scheduled it at a hospital further away than my regular hospital which is significantly closer 🥲. this is a really important appointment and i really dont wanna cancel it..
i think i should be able to get there and back if i could get 500SEK (~50$) for gas, and if you are unable to give anything because you aren’t financially stable that’s is absolutely okay & please dont give anything if it’ll fuck up ur own economy!! but if you are unable to donate, please reblog this, every rb helps 🤍 every dollar helps and you don’t have to give anything huge amounts, it adds up, thank you!🤍
here’s the link to my paypal
0/50$
[pt: 0/50$. end pt]

I often forget that me dissapearing from social life for a few weeks because my disability got worse and thus needed a better mobility aid is shocking to most people, because when I go back out into the world all of my friends will be like "omg are you ok??" And I'm always so confused because I'm just chilling why wouldn't I be ok? And then I remember they haven't seen me in a wheelchair before and the last they saw me I could walk.
It's funny though because everyone in my life already knew my disability gets worse. Not sure why they were surprised when my disability got worse.
Also I must say that running into people's ankles when they won't move is so wonderful.

i'm so tired man. was reading an article on how to support kids with dyscalculia for a school assignment and noticed they either only refer to the child as 'your child' or 'him'. i don't know if i'm just looking too far into things but can we just stop? like, every. single. article. about learning disabilities always only refer to the children using typically male pronouns, and i'm sick of it. it goes back to how much young girls have their issues and problems overlooked, with how they are simply labelled as dumb or slow, instead of people asking what's wrong. young boys aren't the only people with learning disabilities. again, i dont know if i'm just angry for the sake of it, but still. the fact that i have the chance to be angry in the first place says something

Alterhumans with identity caused by illness, mental or physical, are real and deserve space in the community. You are no less than someone who has other psychological explanations for their identity, or someone who has spiritual explanations.
Even if your alterhuman identity stems from/is affected by:
Psychosis, delusions, hallucinations, or any psychotic symptom
Trauma and/or abuse
Personality disorders
Dissociative disorders
Autism
Missing body parts
Needing a mobility aid
Needing an implant of any kind
Depression
Anxiety
Being blind or deaf
Or any other health condition, you're still as alterhuman as any other person whose identity doesn't come from their health. You belong in the community if you feel like you should, no matter the origin of your identity.

I think that it's really important for people to realize that being disabled is traumatic. genuinely. your body and brain feel like they are breaking down and wrong. you are in constant heavy stress from stuff like chronic pain. most disabled people i know have a somewhat regular emotional break down from the trauma of it all. and we are expected to just smile through it by society, to not be in the way, to not be an issue.

maybe harsh take. but. shitting on people who can't care about selves. who live with parents. who rely on partners in 'basic' tasks. (yes even body care tasks). who got chores done for them. who don't work. is ableist. even if clarify 'this specific person isn't disabled.' it still perpetuates stigma. it still ableist.
say exactly what wrong. have they overstepped someone's boundaries? have they pressured someone into care? have they manipulated abused etc.? something else? point wrong behavior. n critique this behavior.
'they're 30 n live with parents' not bad behavior. 'their parent cut their nails' not bad behavior. 'they don't work' not bad behavior.
'but they're abled!' 1) you don't know for sure. can't know for sure. undiagnosed n invisible disabilities exist. not every undiagnosed individual able to take care of self. recognize undiagnosed n invisible disabilities existence not only when they look 'nice' for you. 2) it still contributes to stigma around needing care. disabled people often not seen as disabled. even if visibly disabled. every individual presumed abled because ableism. so disabled individuals will be shitted on because need care. because presumed abled.
to destigmatize needing care. have to destigmatize getting care. even if not see as 'reasonable' n 'justified.' can't destigmatize needing care if say 'getting care depending on others living with parents etc. is bad but disabled is exception.' because still stigmatize process of getting cared.
people don't need allowance n approval of society to get care.
(not say not call out bad behavior. ask call out bad behavior specifically. not stigmatized neutral things).

If you've ever told a person who's had to be bedbound for a period of time that you wish you could "just stay in bed", DO IT.
Stay in bed. For days. But don't get up if someone needs you to, or you get bored, or you get antsy. Don't do anything other than rest. Just lie in your bed, whether you need to get stuff done around the house or socialize or anything else "productive". You'll have to cancel on people, you'll disappoint them, they won't understand.
And if you're thinking, "well, i CAN'T just be in bed. There's stuff that has to be done - I have plans", maybe ask yourself why you assumed a disabled person doesn't have plans or things to do or desires.
