i’m gonna hold your hand with a glove on when i say this

when disabled/chronically ill people tell you they can’t do something, then that is not your cue to tell them that they can actually or that they’ll always find an excuse if they’re looking for one.

when a disabled/chronically ill person says they can’t do something, sometimes that doesn’t mean it’s outside the realm of possibility, sometimes it means if they (attempted to) do that, they will seriously hurt themselves.

when a disabled/chronically ill person says they can’t do something, sometimes it’s preventative care, and they refuse to do that thing to prevent a flare up from happening/their symptoms getting worse in the first place.

disabled/chronically ill people are not “looking for excuses”, they are giving you reasons why. something they don’t even have to do! so maybe just accept the reasons they give you.

"quick meal for when you're low on spoons!" *involves chopping vegetables* *uses a stove* *includes condiments* *involves letting something set/rest/simmer* *requires multiple kitchen items that will need to be washed* *estimated prep time: 30–45 minutes*

I’m so proud of people living with chronic health conditions. That shit is HARD. Idk who needs to hear this, but if no one else has said it: I’m proud of you. You’re sticking it out through so much pain and grief. That’s no small feat.

Every small thing you do for yourself health adds up. The grief is heavy and it comes from a place of love. The grief knows the pain is wronging you.

I’m proud of you. I hope on the good days you can be proud of yourself.

Keep going.

You are well within your right to be angry about the help you didn't get and should have gotten.

You are well within your right to be angry about having your needs neglected.

You are well within your right to be angry.

Black History Month Isn't Over Just Yet, Help Me Get a Wheelchair!!!

I am a Black Chronically ill/Disabled Lesbian. I have been a mobility aid user for over a decade, and with my most recent illness flare and health set back, I desperately need a wheelchair. I have put off getting a wheelchair for years but my health is to a point where I need a wheelchair to function outside the house or I cant leave my house at all. Being stuck inside my house has done a toll on my mentally, and has prevented me from having consistent meaningful employment.

I have been saving for a wheelchair but I am nowhere close enough to buy the wheelchair I need, new adaptive tech, and the 2 ramps I need for my home. I am hoping to cr*wdfund for just the price of the chair not the ramps or adaptive tech. I need 1,120 to cover the cost of the chair.

DM: for PayPl

If you can help I would deeply appreciate it! Getting this chair would mean that I can leave my home safely, regain meaningful employment and see some of my aging elders again!

To otherkin who use mobility aids, I imagine your kin(s) using their aids a lot like this

disabled people when their disability disables them

Fibromyalgia is so ridiculous.

What do you mean the name just means "muscle hurt"

What do you mean the pain is worse when it rains

What do you mean its a whole body systematic thing that half of doctors think is make believe.

What do you mean my body is so tired I could sleep for ten years.

SAY IT WITH ME: MEDICAL GASLIGHTING IS MALPRACTICE

Me when my disability does indeed make me disabled: by talos this can’t be happening

Chronic Sonic pt 13.5

[previous: pt 13]

Chronic Sonic pt 13.5

Smh leave that Hedgehog alone for two minutes and he vanishes

OOOOKAAAYYY NICE WE MADE IT WOO!! After over tWO WEEKS OF WORKING ON THIS okay okay anyway

1. Yes, Sonic knew something was off for a long time and actively chose to hide it from his friends when it started to get truly painful. It’s a bit of an awkward situation because on one hand, even if he had approached them, it’s not like he could’ve just stopped hero-ing. But the fact that even if he’d just checked in with Tails when it started to get concerning instead of just ignoring it is rough to realize, especially for the blue one. Hindsight is 20/20

2. Normally Shadow wouldn’t be worried because (snatching @acoraxia’s hc about chaos users being able to sense each other because it’s delightful and i like it) Sonic’s always had enough chaos energy for him to track pretty much no matter where he is. But with the inhibitor cutting off the flow of chaos from entering Sonic’s body which means he’s basically invisible to him right now. So he doesn’t actually have a way to track him down.

3. Tails holds all of the forbidden knowledge and says approximately 49% of it out loud. On the bright side the circles under his eyes calmed down because he got to nap in pt 12!
