thank you @chaoticsweetheart for letting me post this!

I know I need to hear this often ESPECIALLY during mental and physical flare ups so I figured I'd share this message here

Being disabled does NOT mean you are UNLOVABLE.

Being disabled does NOT make you UNWANTED.

Being disabled does NOT make you UNDESIRABLE.

Being disabled does NOT make you UNDESERVING.

Being disabled does NOT make you a BURDEN.

[Video Description: A tiktok by user chaoticsweetheart. She speaks to the camera in a darkened room. A text box in the middle of the screen reads, “Red X emoji, Do not give unsolicited medical advise. Red X emoji.” Captions are also provided in white writing at the top of the video. At the end of the video, the woman kisses her pointer and middle fingers, then brings them closer to the camera to simulate sending a kiss to the viewer. End description.]

Video Transcript

[The song “Repeat Until Death” by Novo Amor plays in the background throughout the video.]

I’m in so much physical pain right now, but I felt like I really needed to say this for myself and for other people: your disability DOES NOT make you unlovable.

And the people that hurt you, that get to go on with their lives and be happy and joyful, is NOT EVER a reflection on your worth.

And I know it’s SO hard to keep that in mind, and I know it’s so not fucking fair.

But, your disability does NOT make you unlovable.

It does NOT make you UNWANTED.

It does NOT make you UNDESIRABLE.

And it does NOT make you a BURDEN to anybody.

I love my spoonie community so much. Never let someone make you feel small, especially yourself. You’re always enough. And you’re always loved. Being disabled will never change that, regardless of how brutal this world tries to tear you down or what you’ve been through. Always be unconditionally and unapologetically yourself.

violence is the appropriate response to oppression btw

anything that says “pain is good, actually” reads as capitalist rhetoric to me. or at the very least, cope for the working classes. oh it’s better when you work really hard and don’t complain? you’re more of a morally developed person if you go through painful experiences instead of resisting them? oh I’m sure. shut the fuck up and pass me the painkillers

chronic pain is kind of like your body screaming “I’m in pain” and you’re like “okay what’s wrong” and your body’s like “oh that part is actually a secret”

[fibromyalgicaf]

Hey if you have chronic pain, you gotta remember that the cognitive load of dealing with that is exhausting. Just that alone. Never mind what else you've got going on.

You're not lazy or being dramatic; you're overloaded.

"People should not have kids if they're poor"

Yeah, the system agrees and the system is built on eugenics where they don't want certain groups of people (ie: people of color, disabled people, queer people, etc.) to be here anymore. So, they weaken systems like foster care and accessibility and they create systems that target Black people and Indigenous people and they don't protect children disowned by their family for being queer because then those people will fall into poverty and either die before they have kids or their kids will fall into that same cycle so as not to take food off the plates of straight cis upper class white abled people who have too many plates to even keep track of.

If you genuinely whole-heartedly believe that people in poverty shouldn't have children then you start attacking the systems that create poverty in the first place. If your care is for the well-being of children, then you start attacking systems that actively harm children. If the problem is poverty, attack what creates poverty and not the people who can't do anything about the circumstances CAUSING the property.

The people who create these systems WANT you to attack the people who suffer because of them. You aren't helping anyone by furthering eugenics.
