#also btw incredibly fucked up that disabled people not dying and getting accommodations and rights is political
still so incredibly, incredibly, pissed and angry about the NDIS changes.
people are already dying, important things are already canceled, what the fuck was the point?
save a couple billion dollars?
okay? now people are dead what was the point again?
it's not going to help people like me who SHOULD be on the NDIS for support and life shit.
(hi I suffer from post-covid! and severe debilitating asthma! not to mention learning disabilities that make things incredibly inaccessible to me because the government THEMSELVES don't make shit accessible!!!!!)
(I live in hell YAY!/j)
not to mention all the people on the waiting lists who are literally straight up dying, we already have mortalities!!!!!!
WE'VE HAD MORTALITIES FOR YEARS!!!!
we've only had the NDIS since 2013, I grew up without support from the NDIS because well I was born in the 2000s lol and it took a solid few years after that for it to work out some kinks and by the time it ended up being okay as a thing I had been disabled for 10 years and had 0 supports lol, and my family had been paying out of pocket.
also like my entire family didn't have any disability supports before me either, no one had them in those days, no one in the old country we only really got anything literally in 2018-2019 for one of my bisnonni THAT'S HOW BAD THE NDIS IS BTW.
at the very least she had a carer for some time, but it was not even a possibility for such a long time.
that again, one of my other bisnonni was completely fucked over, same problems effected her even worse in her own right.
(NDIS actually care about old people challenge: FAILED)
ALSO imagine having rights! hahahahahah.
(actually sobbing rn. most of us DO NOT, we are payed less then abled people!!!!)
I am bitching and moaning everyday, because I'm not stupid none of us are, even us stupid people (ily fellow learning disabled ppl and intellectually disabled ppl) we have been greatly fucked over for decades and decades, and still with the bare fucking minimum shit it gets snatched or abused or we get scammed.
it's fucked, it's so, so, fucked.
medicare doesn't cover optical, dental, or a shit ton of other things.
the government straight up hates us all, I can not tell you the amount of bullshit I've been through, the ableism is intense!!!!! it's why I got so good at masking my very obvious learning disabilities fuck all of us for real.
like, the depression and STRAIGHT UP FEAR!!!
dude, fucked up shit.
I have so so many stories, I can't even begin to tell you.
honestly shame on 'em, I'm using my newfound free speech to bitch and moan.
because like, I do not genuinely think half the things that allow me to bitch and moan about being disabled was a thing when I was a kid, like genuinely!
honestly I wish international disabled allies could idk join in and be angry with us, we have all been through hell.
and it's fucked.
