abled people need to get comfortable with disabled people not having the energy to "dress up"

the amount of backhanded comments I'd heard from my irl friends about how they really like the times where I wear things other than sweatpants and hoodies and I should really work on creating my own style is insane

there are some days where I have enough energy to wear the things I want to wear, but those are rare. they need to get used to that.

“It just means you have to work double as hard as most people!”

Well maybe I don’t WANT to work double as hard as abled people!! Maybe I deserve a BREAK!! Maybe I’ve been working MORE THAN double as hard for MY WHOLE LIFE and it’s led me to immense burnout & caused me to develop several MORE disabilities!! Maybe I should be ACCOMMODATED so I don’t have to KILL MY BODY AND BRAIN over trying to do what abled people can do!! Maybe I DON’T have to work double as hard!! Maybe if there’s the option to let me NOT work double as hard, I should have it, because I’m already working double as hard JUST TO SURVIVE!!

Why do you think disabled people deserve less rest than mentally & physically abled people?

When I tell you I'm disabled your response should not be "I'm sorry"

When I was a child I wanted to have magic. If I was a witch I could go on grand adventures and save the world.

Now, in my 40s, with chronic pain & illness, I still want magic. If I was a witch I could have a clean house and could easily cook.

Dreams change with time and illness.

oopsie i tripped and spilled my link to archive dot org's downloadable copy of Microsoft office suite for 2007, which features no AI tools and is a powerful word processor that still holds up just fine on windows 10!

Just as I finish gaslighting myself into thinking my chronic conditions aren't that bad, I am reminded through gag inducing pain that it, in fact, is that bad. Join me again tomorrow, the next, and the next day, when I gaslight myself again.

i think that i'm allowed to be sad when i'm sad. even if it's only sad to me. even if it's weird to show your sadness on the outside. sometimes you're sad and you feel it. and i think that's okay.

[ghastlyraven]

it feels kinda fucked that the moment i start to come to terms with and really own my disability and come into my own, my emtire livelihood is being destroyed. and not even "you're disabled you can't do this job," but the literal government pulling funding for everything you work for, stand for, fight for.

imagine a world where disabled people can work in what they love and also the arts are publicly funded...

This disability pride month lets remember that it's ok if your room or house does not look like the room or house of a non-disabled person. Your clean doesn't have to look like the clean of a non disabled person. As long as your room or house is functional, safe and hygienic, your room or house is clean. If your room or house isn't, thats ok too.It's ok to struggle and it's ok to need a little extra help. It doesn't make you lazy or worthless.

bodies should have crash logs. why the fuck did that just happen.

[chungledown-bimothy]

"Go to the doctor" "cbc test" "ekg"

NO!! This is about throwing up at 3 am despite not being nauseous beforehand or having any other indications that something was wrong before or after!!!!

"Autopsy report"

Yeah okay that's a good one

[ghastlyraven]

fuck filing for disability

fuck ableist jobs

fuck the requirement to work to stay alive

fuck it all

no one should have to beg for the ability to live. no one should end their day crying because what the fuck am i going to do. no one should have to rely on ableds to have a semi-livable life.

[EDIT: when referring to relying on ableds to live, i mean relying on people who have no connection to our lives to allow us to live, i.e.. government officials, doctors who don't know/care, etc. i do NOT mean caretakers and loved ones and people who make life worth living. anyone who needs a caretaker or help from another person is so so valid and also just human.]

and sure, it may be all in vain, the rants, the raging, the tear-filled nights, but i hope it all works out for you. i hope that you find a way, even if it takes far more effort than it should. i hope one day we will be able to be disabled and also alive.

This disability pride month I'm BEGGING you to acknowledge and care about the people in this community who often fly under the radar when it comes to positivity and information. People who require equipment to live, like ventilators, pacemakers, and feeding tubes. People who are bedbound. People with visible differences. People who have disabilities caused by things like substance abuse, overdose, or self harm. People with conditions so rare that they've never met someone who has the same one. People who need full time care and have to have help to use social media.

If you want to support the community, that means supporting all of the community. Disability pride means being proud of every last one of us, and making sure everyone feels heard. Make sure to amplify the voices of those who need it this month, and ideally for the rest of the year too.

I find it very offensive that the more unwell you are, the more things you have to do to maintain your health. Things like following special diets, going to medical appointments, making big and important decisions about what treatments to use. At the same time, the more unwell you are the less energy you have to do all of these extra things. It seems grossly unfair.
