DISABILITYRPH

A brand new rph , that actually needed to be included in the community. Welcome to the DISABILITYRPH BLOG.

If there is one question someone ask . Is this blog run by a disabled person, the answer is yes. You can ask questions and will not mind answering

Fat acceptance means accepting unhealthy fat people. I don’t care if it doesn’t support your respectability politics. Unhealthy fat people (including those who’s illness is related to their weight) deserve respect.

i know there’s a lot going on but ICE are now one step closer to literally creating gas chambers. they are spraying a chemical called HDQ neutral roughly 100 times a day, every 15 minutes at the adelanto detention center (one of the biggest in the country). people are getting rashes, headaches, their insides are bleeding, etc. the guards are wearing gloves and masks but the detainees have NOTHING. and here’s a quick reminder - america inspired the nazis to create gas chambers when they gassed latino people during the 1917 bath riots. 

here’s a petition to sign. it’s close to it’s goal. if there’s anything else we can do to help i’ll update this post.

[your-url-is-problematic]

I don’t have the words to properly explain how horrifying this is. In April, the advocacy group Freedom For Immigrants published a report about unsanitary conditions at the detention center, where the immigrants were made to clean the facilities with only water, or shampoo. According to their report, there were sick detainees there - possibly with COVID-19, but it’s unclear since they weren’t being tested - and the conditions could easily lead to a situation in which the virus exploded among those there.

The guards are spraying this disinfectant in retaliation for the report. To be clear - HDQ is an industrial-strength disinfectant, which according to the manufacturer is “harmful if inhaled” and “causes severe skin burns and serious eye damage.” The guards are spraying it on everything every 15-30 minutes, according to sources, and immigrants in the center have already experienced severe symptoms including blisters, rashes, bleeding, fainting, breathing difficulties, headaches, stomach pain, and nausea.

And let’s be real - ICE doesn’t give a shit, either about protecting these people or about preventing a COVID outbreak. ICE, according to their own reports, currently has 25,911 people in custody, of which only 2,670 have been tested. 1,392 of those were positive. In simple terms - less than 10% of detainees have been tested. Of those, more than half are positive. We cannot estimate how many sick people ICE is currently holding, or how many more will get sick without any kind of prevention or care.

ICE is killing people through neglect, and when they dared complain - they started gassing them.

Unfortunately, with Trump in the white house, petitions aren’t doing much. What we can do, however, is donate to the advocacy group that is bringing these things to light, allowing them to continue their work and hopefully free more immigrants. Their donation page is here. Please spread this.

My fellow disabled people whose smiles and facial expressions are affected by their disabilities, whose expressions don’t quite look “normal” to abled people:

Your face and your smile are not less powerful, incredible or lovely just because they don’t match those of abled peoples.

Your emotions are not less real just because abled people can’t read your expressions how they’re used to reading everyone else’s.

You’re still worthy of love and respect, and your face adds happiness to fellow disabled people’s worlds when we see each other.

You are not broken or ugly simply because society does not understand you, nor because your face does not match society’s ideals or expectations.

You are lovely & there is nothing wrong with you.

we need to be taught disability history in school because it is 2019, i am 20 years old, and i am only now learning that the National Association of the Deaf had to take Netflix to court in 2012 in order for closed captioning to be required on streaming sites (source). any amount of accessibility in our lives has been fought for, and those stories need to be told.

[inkskinned]

your first and most pressing concern should be for the safety of black people. it should be for justice. it should be in making this not just a moment but a reshaping of cultural bias.

this is not a fun little game for you to trot around flipping off cops and making light of a situation you were never affected by. it is not your chance to have a little bit of adventure in the middle of a quarantine. i am speaking as an author and i am telling you to stop fucking making this about katniss or harry potter or whatever - you can be shaped by media, sure, but this is not and has never been about you roleplaying your favorite action heroes. this is not another “disaster of 2020″. this is not a quirky instagram post, it’s not a chance for you to meet up with your friends, it’s not a tactic to get your tiktok trending.

this is about racial injustice. this is about the entire system that is built on that injustice and grows fat on that injustice. don’t get distracted. the police force is not the only systemically racist organization.

black lives matter. and we do not stop until every organization recognizes that and actually acts on it.

Disabled “representation” drinking game,

Take a shot(of whatever you’re abled to drink w your meds) whenever

The disabled character is extremely stereotypical when it comes to presenting symptoms of their illness

They’re not a main character, but are the side kick to Abled bodied Adam and neurotypical Nancy, and are only there so the writer could say they put in a disabled character

The disabled character is only in one or two episodes and every episode they take part in their whole character MUST be centered on their illness, no they can’t be a superhero, no they can’t just have every day problems like having a crush or doing bad on a test, no they can’t have any tragedies or depth, they just have to be “the character that has a wheelchair or something”

The writer/cast/fans talk big about the representation but when you actually watch the show/read the book the writing is purposefully vague as FUCK about what illness or disability the character(s) have, solely so there can be room for people to believe they’re abled bodied/neurotypical

The disabled character is more comic relief than anything else, not because theyre funny or want to be comic relief but because what’s funnier than someone needing a wheelchair? Or someone with IBS or stomach issues needing to use the bathroom? Or someone with ADHD talking super fast and bouncing off walls?

The disabled character is there for one episode, the episode is only to progress the abled bodied protagonists ideaologies/depth, disabled character isn’t so much a character as they are a life lesson for abled bodied Adam or neurotypical Nancy

The disabled character HATES the fact they’re disabled, they HATE themselves and the show/book makes it seem like that’s normal, like no one ever could ever possibly like/be okay with living as disabled

If I have to see the “bitter cripple” troupe I swear to god

The disabled character is a villain, and the protagonist is abled bodied/neurotypical

The disabled character is a villain and is scary because they’re MENTALLY ILL and have DIFFERENT PERSONALITIES and WILL KILL our abled bodied neurotypical protagonists

People talk about how great the representation is but the Disabled character is played by a neurotypical/abledbodied person

The disabled character kills themselves/lets themselves be killed because “better off dead than disabled”

The show/book/writers/fans claim the piece of media is progressive but still uses words like “challenged”, “impaired”, “handicapable” and other words that have already been said aren’t what(the majority of) disabled people wanna be called

The show tries it’s BEST not to actually use the word disabled

The disabled character is written off because the fanbase/writers didn’t want the disabled character to become important

The disabled character isn’t allowed to have sex, like sex or even know what sex is because they are disabled so obviously they will have no sex life

No romantic life either, romance is for the lovable and if you’re disabled, while the whole shows message could be to “love yourself” they’ll refuse to let a disabled character be in a relationship or be happy

The person in a relationship w a disabled character is always talking about how much they do, how they’re tired, or is worshipped as a hero because they CARE about a disabled person- no way!

Cheating is “okay” if the partner is disabled because who could actually stay loyal to a disabled person

(BONUS) The show/movie has flashing lights/strobe affects/other things that stop actual disabled people from being able to watch it, the writers claim it’s a movie “everyone can love” but has made choices that ultimately stop a large amount of disabled people from being able to watch said piece of media

[wreyeder]

Friendly Reminder

[ID: an exported photo from snapchat with text reading: "Hey everybody! July is

Disability Awareness Month

So be aware:

Not every disability is visible!

You're not a doctor!

We know our health/conditions!

Accessibility is necessary!

And:

WE'RE NOT FUCKING LYING

「hi! may please we get a shoutout? we’re a newly revamped uni rp looking for new members!」⇾ established in 1829, radcliffe university was doomed from the start. endless tragedy led many to believe it was built on cursed grounds. now to make matters worse, they are forced to merge with rival school horton university, after it burned down. plus, many horton students believe that radcliffe students were responsible. ⇽「thank you so much in advance!」

The rest of the month’s content is much more entertaining, I promise.

Common signs that an autism resource is bad

Person-first language (”people with autism”) The autistic community are very vocal about preferring identity-first language (”autistic people”) over person-first language (”people with autism”) so use of person-first language in an autism resource shows a lack of contact with the autistic community/an unwillingness to listen to autistic people.

Mentions of a supposed cure for autism. There is no cure for autism and many of the proposed “cures” are both dangerous and abusive. Resources and organisations who try to sell you a cure are either knowingly scamming you or very misinformed about the reality of autism.

Advocacy for finding a cure for autism. The majority of the autistic community don’t want a cure for their autism - they want society to change so that autistic people can be accepted, respected and included as they are. Advocacy for finding a cure for autism shows a lack of contact with the autistic community/an unwillingness to listen to autistic people.

Functioning labels. Functioning labels (“severe autism” vs “mild autism”/”high-functioning” vs “low-functioning”) are at best useless and at worst harmful and the autistic community doesn’t support the use of them. Use of functioning labels in an autism resources shows a lack of contact with the autistic community and a lacking understanding of autism.

Autism Speaks. Autism Speaks is a very harmful organization which isn’t supported by the autistic community. Positive references to Autism Speaks/connections with Autism Speaks shows a lack of contact with the autistic community and an unwillingness to listen to autistic people. 

ABA. ABA (”Applied Behavior Analysis”) is an abusive therapy which isn’t supported by the autistic community. Positive references to ABA shows a lack of contact with the autistic community and an unwillingness to listen to autistic people.

Claims that vaccines cause autism. Vaccines don’t cause autism, this has been proved over and over by various independent studies. Claims that vaccines cause autism shows a lacking understanding of science/a lack of scientific objectivity. 

[tired-art247]

Adding onto this a little: if they describe an autistic child as “taken away by autism” or “not ‘my’ child” that is a sign to leave.

[floofycooly]

Less obviously: Asperger’s counts as a functioning label. It’s an antiquated diagnosis originally created by a Nazi which just means “high-functioning.“
