if it's not too much trouble would it be ok if you could do one relating to dyslexia with Derpy? like about how it's ok to be dyslexic and it doesn't take away from someone's worth?
thank you :)

Hey, if you have speech impediments, you are so amazing.
If you stutter or have a lisp or misspeak easily or you have a flat affect or a limited verbal vocabulary or if your voice is AAC or if you just have a difference in your vocality, you are so incredibly important and amazing.
Just know that your voice is yours. Nobody will ever be able to truly take it away. Your voice is part of you, and you deserve to make it as true to you as you deem fit. I hope you have the space to grow with your voice and whatever about it makes it unique.

we love you fellow disabled people. mentally, physically, both, in any shape, way, or form.
yall deserve as much love as how much love cute stray cats get. (which is a lot of love)
we can crush ableism and overpower it by learning to accept and support disabled people, whether you are apart of the community or not. but also beware that you can be ableist as a disabled person too.
love yourself today . (not meant to sound threatening, we just want you to love yourself genuinely)
-Syntax and Natasha/Angel

Depending on the cause for your psychosis, there's a chance you'll also suffer from learning/intellectual disabilities, that you may have a harder time understanding things, that you may have difficulty communicating.
You are not lesser if you deal with those things.
I'm so happy you're here.
Take care of yourself.

2024 reads / storygraph
The Loudest Silence
YA contemporary
a newly Deaf-Hard of hearing girl moves across the country and starts a new school, struggling with navigating her disability and love for singing and lost friendships - determined to not make any new friends for the year she’s in Florida
and a boy struggling with family expectations and anxiety, after being made the fútbal captain even though he secretly ways to be on broadway, who quickly befriends her
bi & aroace-coded MCs
#The Loudest Silence#aroaessidhe 2024 reads#hm this was okay! it’s a sweet and light YA contemporary focusing on friendship and disability.#It’s a little cheesy; and I liked the immediate easy friendship (well; after a few false starts) and how welcoming Hayden's#friend group/family were. I like how they all jumped to learning/practicing ASL.#I liked how Casey was dealing with her newfound Deafness with a lot of positivity - the main frustrations being how other people treat her#but there’s also the underlying isolation and grief. At the same time it didn't go as deep as it could have with that?#The friendship is central to the story - but honestly I feel like Casey and Hayden’s relationship doesn’t develop past ‘they’re friends now#[continues other subplots] - it ends up being a bit telling not showing their friendship. And then she gets a love interest.#I feel like if you’re centering your book on being a platonic love story - rare in YA! - giving one a love interest kinda goes against#what’s supposed to be unique about it? Like it wasn’t overwhelming and I thought it was sweet actually; I just didn’t come here for that.#I always find it a little odd when YA contemporary books don’t explicitly name their aroace characters as aroace -#obviously I prefer an exploration of experiences to just using the word and nothing else; but in this genre; why not both?#considering various other identity labels are used and discussed there were various points where it felt like it was walking circles#around where it would be obvious to say “no I’m aroace” lmao?#And there’s a point where Casey mentions seeing an ace sticker on his guitar - the only reason it wasn’t an aroace sticker is bc#that would have ruined the minor subplot of her assuming he’s gay/dating his other friend. It felt like a slightly odd way to mention it?#but also I guess I appreciate it being evident throughout but also being a non-issue plot wise - while there’s a couple of moments#of people making romantic assumptions about them;for the most part it’s just treated normally for a boy & girl to be friends (as it should!#It does get points for mentioning people watching by conan grey LMAO (not that it really explores him feeling that way specifically;#but I mean same lol)#Overall plot-wise - there were kind of a lot of things going on and it petered out a bit? I wanted some more depth in some areas.#Also I feel like some of the references seemed out of date for current teens haha.#i do love the love for unusual pets (hairless cat and iguana)#aroace books#bisexual books

this is your quick reminder that learning how to cook, clean, do laundry, budget money, wake up to alarms, plan for meals, and personal hygiene are all necessary skills for basically everyone and that you will need to learn how to do all of them to be a functioning adult

CRIPPLED KID
It's poetry,
The way I limp across
The kitchen floor
To take my hot bag
Out of the microwave
For the sixth time today.
It's poetry,
My crinkled sheet of paper
With the stretches on it
That I always forget to do.
The click and tap
Of my cane and
Those boots with the special insoles
Is music.
A metronome keeping time
Along with my probably too-fast heartbeat.
Every action paints a picture
Of just another crippled kid
Trying to be normal.
I decorate my cane with stickers
And on the bad days I wish it were a wheelchair.
I use empty bottles of painkillers
As decorations.
Scattered here and there,
Ibuprofen,
Acetaminophen,
Aspirin,
Naproxen.
Maybe my liver is shot.
Watching, checking
How I crack my knuckles.
How I walk.
How my posture is.
How my arms are positioned
While I knit and crochet.
I am my own surveillance state
Keeping everything in line.
It's miserable, all this.
Watching, checking,
Empty bottles for decoration.
It's now time to limp
Across the kitchen floor
For a seventh time
To heat up my hot bag
Again.
Again.

Nice healthy obsession you got there (Patreon)
#Doodles#SCII#Damned#DAX#ZEX#SU#Scribbles for maximum speed and minimum prettiness lol#How! many! layers! deep! can I go!!#I have been well-out from Steven Universe for a heck-while now - stopped around Off-Colors I think? I haven't been back since 2017ish y'see#Something-something pick up Vargas drop off Steven Universe (there was a few months of crossover but it's a whole thing w/e w/e)#Anyway! Lol#It was lurking dormant for This Moment is what I'm getting at#Just needed to stew on SCII for five years and then all the feelings'd come up lol#It is still so funny to me that I drew Max and Dex before ZEX and DAX - whenever things come full circle like this it tickles me#I've already written up a Whole Thing about my alien-faves so that'll be a thing soon enough lol#For now! Silliness! I mean - more silliness lol#Those /are/ ZEX and DAX but?? I guess?? with the body-snatched version but they'd be gems?? I don't know either lol#I put in the caption that DAX would be a pearl but honestly he feels like he'd be an opal or something#Can't say labradorite that's too indulgent but he'd be so pretty! Those hidden depths and flecks of green <3#I feel like ZEX would be something clear and beautiful :) So - not a green quartz lol but something pretty and important!#I dunno I've forgotten many many things about SU gem types haha#Also silly how I put ZEX in the Pearl position - he just Seems It y'know ♪#I mean Max would too lol#But no DAX is the obvious Pearl here - her songs were always my favourite <3 Discounting that she was always my favourite ahem lol#I have Always Always loved It's Over Isn't It <3 A full mournful song for her ugh it's so gorgeous ♥#I've been trying to learn the Italian version because it is So pretty <3#Thank goodness the comments weren't disabled under the Italian upload so someone was able to post the lyrics#So nice to be able to see them! And the words genuinely flow so beautifully they're really fun to sing ♫

call me crazy, but I don't think you should have to call your kid's school and beg them to not punish them or call CPS on you over their attendance when they've been consistently sick all school year, during a PANDEMIC, and they're all there unmasked around hundreds of people all day

Reminder that not everyone can get their drivers license within the time frame deemed "socially acceptable". Sometimes it takes extra time for financial reasons, physical health reasons, mental health reasons, accessibility reasons, lack of support reasons, etc. It's a difficult process and it's completely acceptable to not get it on your 16th birthday, or to not get it at all. There's nothing to be ashamed of and I'm tired of people being judgemental towards adults who don't have their licenses.

Getting older and coming to the crushing occurrence that a lot of the villains/otherworldly beings in older media are just minority/marginalized group-coded
The monsters are physically disabled. The evil mastermind is gay. The hired thug is black. The rebel against the system is an indigenous person. The aliens are nonbinary. The evil businessman is plus-sized. The sentient ai is neurodivergent.
And yknow what? Fine. My ass is reclaiming that. Ooooooo scary creature that doesn't fit into the societal norm ooooooooo it's gonna indoctrinate your kids oooooooooo it's gonna make them love themselves for who they are
Glory to the villains, I say. Glory to those that dare exist in bodies that are different from what we have deemed "normal." Glory to those who have only been represented by characters we see as "bad" or "evil." Glory to you.
