I have until December 31st 2024 to pay my remaining rent balance or my (also disabled) fiancé, cat, and I will be evicted.

able bodied people will freak out when they see an ambulatory mobility aid user not using their aids but won't question it when a hiker only uses a walking stick or trekking poles when they're hiking. they're the same thing.

go out with you wheelchair go out with your walker go out with your cane go out with whatever mobility aid you use go out with your noise canceling headphones go out with your fidget toys go out with your comfort object or objects don't give a shit about what other people think of you if they laugh or point fuck them life is too short to care about how people perceive you

I never truly knew the meaning of friendship until I became chronically ill and disabled. When my health declined I had people leaving left and right because I couldn’t keep up with other teenagers. I stopped having people check on me, I stopped getting invited to stuff, stopped being included, until I just got left behind. Now as an adult I found friends who check up on me, make sure whatever we do is accessible to me, always making me feel included, they are my support system.

Check up on your chronically ill and disabled friends, keep including them in stuff even if they have to end up canceling it. Being excluded for something you have no control over is horrible and no one should go through that.

Cripplepunk, madpunk, and neuropunk aren't just "I'm disabled and also left-leaning". It's a specific realm of activism rooted in dismantling the systems that put disabled, mad, sick, etc folks at a disadvantage in society. This mean not only being against the very systems that harm us but also understanding their colonial origins and continued racist legacies. (Anti-ableism, anti-sanism, anti-psych, etc). This means not only just identifying and finding pride in your disability but also building and constantly evolving your understanding of disability and diversity and learning how you can change your worldview to accurately highlight the struggles of disabled people. (EVEN if it sometimes means you will be uncomfortable or unsure of unlearning some kinds of hate.)

Me: god why do people have to stare at disabled people like we’re some type of exhibit?

Also me when I see other disabled people: 👀

It’s 2024 and I still need to explain to people that

Cripple punk should be a space for crippled punks

Mad punk should be a space for those who are mad (Insane) and punk

Neuropunk should be a space for neurodivergent punks

Pre-chopped fruits and veggies make it possible for so many people with various disabilities to prepare healthy meals and maintain their energy.

[lupusbaby]

Some people don’t want to hear this but sometimes accessibility is not sustainable or eco-friendly. Disabled people sometimes need straws, or pre-made meals in plastic containers, or single-use items. Just because you can work with your foods in their least processed and packaged form doesn’t mean everyone else can.

[flowercrowncrip]

I’m getting so fed up of people assuming that I must have infinite energy when out and about because I use a power chair rather than walking or propelling a manual wheelchair

Being in my wheelchair isn’t restful for me. It is tiring and it is painful to be upright, to hold my arm in a position to move the joystick, to go over all the bumps when outside.

Just because you think a chair like mine would solve your tiredness, pain, or fatigue doesn’t mean my body is the same.

Disabled aros I love you. Disabled aces I love you. Disabled aroaces I love you. Disabled aroallos I love you. Disabled aceamatos I love you. Disabled people whose attraction labels are anything that's considered outside of the societal norm I love you
