my beige flag is taking immense pleasure in shocking people with my disability
#aka the reveal of my disability#not the severity thats incomprehensible to most#but theres always this moment where they panic trying to figure out what to do in this situation#and im cackling#im usually game to answer a few polite questions#so i feel like that makes us even#sometimes the urge strikes me in the wrong situations tho#the salesperson was politely asking if i did the same competitive sport my siblings do#and i had to stop myself from saying 'well the disability makes that kinda hard'#i love when i get to knock on my knees to demonstrate#because at work my orthotics are rarely visible#so to the other person theres just this inexplicable clang sound#gotta take your wins when you can get em#my boss has started joining in which has ofc compounded the problem#we were joking about putting a disability parking placard in a barbie jeep#and someone who was in the car with us for that conversation#later they were like 'WAIT YOURE DISABLED?'#WHAT DID YOU THINK I WAS JOKING ABOUT#disability#salt baby talks#ehlers danlos syndrome#chronic illness#postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome#mcas
