abelds have this funky ability where they hear disabled people say they "can't" do something and instead of hearing "can't" as in, cannot, they hear "i can if i push myself and i just don't wanna". which is really interesting!

“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?

we all know adult humans dont get enough enrichment but the other day i was walkin home past an empty playground and impulsively ran over to spin myself on this zipline merry-go-round contraption for a few minutes and it really did feel like it unlocked some neglected part of my brain. like damn we really should all go outside and play more. fuck. they werent kidding with this play time thing. have you guys heard about play time. it could be huge.

yeah sure you're not ableist... but are you cool with visible medical devices?

are you gonna be weird about feeding tubes? are you gonna ask invasive questions about catheters and ostomy bags? can you cope with seeing someone give themselves an injection? could you walk up to someone with a tracheostomy and talk to them? how about someone with a central line?

does your disability acceptance extend to people with visible medical devices?

[feeling-likeastranger]

You ever feel grief for the person you could’ve been if none of this ever happened to you?

if you washed any clothes recently this is a friendly reminder to put them on the chair and then on the bed and then on the chair and then on the bed and then on the chair and then

Scientists have found that if you get 8 hours of sleep and are still tired during the day it’s because your soul is cursed and your body doesn’t think you deserve happiness. There is no cure or treatment

Shit Abled People Say #250

Therapist: So what does (4 yr old autistic daughter) do when you put her in uncomfortable clothes/take away her comfort objects/spend a long time in loud and crowded places/tell her to do something new without preparation?

Me: … I don’t do those things.

Therapist: ???? But she’s so relaxed and well-behaved for an autistic child, why not?

Me: …. and I’m pretty sure the two are connected.

This happened multiple times, with two therapists and one pedatrician, all of whom I moved on from as quickly as possible. It freaks me out how many supposed experts on autism think it’s acceptable to deliberately cause my child distress because it would be ‘normal’. As an agoraphobe with panic disorder, social anxiety and a fun boatload of other issues myself, I am far more concerned with avoiding triggering situations and helping her to cope when they happen than whether her behaviour seems ‘normal’. *I* don’t wear uncomfortable clothes, part with my comfort objects or cope well with crowded spaces, why would I inflict them on a child who finds them even more difficult than I do?

It makes me worry a lot about kids whose abled parents and therapists don’t get this.

Some is better than none. Some is better than none. Some is better than none. Walking for three minutes, is better than nothing. Drinking a glass of water and eating a snack, is better than nothing. Wiping down the counter, is better than nothing. Small things are not nothing. Small things are not nothing. Small things are not nothing. You don’t have to achieve grand things if all you’re capable of right now is the smaller things. They are still achievements. Don’t do nothing just because you don’t think you’re capable of doing bigger things, just do something you’re capable of today.

ICE now tackling press.

Interview where he talks about what happened.

[flavinbagel]

A photographer for Getty isn't even a journalist so much as an archivist. ICE violently disrupted the apolitical documentation of what they were doing, violating any and all rights that might flimsily stand in their way. It would have been just as wrong had they done this to an MSNBC reporter hellbent on a spin, but now Abernathy's neutral action as a photographer has been rendered necessarily political by ICE's violence.

They know what they're doing is objectively evil. They have no intention of stopping.

[blaka-smoko]

previous tags from @nihilisticspacequeer, which provide a bit of context for why Abernathy threw his (extremely expensive) camera

[freckledhyenas]

they got way more on camera too. lookit this shit. source

they knock him down from behind, they're kneeling on him, and they've set off tear gas. his arms are pinned under him and he can't breathe. look at this photo of his face.

I'm gagging and literally thought I’m going to pass out. I couldn’t breathe. I was thinking I only have a couple of breaths left and I don’t know what’s going to happen after that. I had taken that last shot and I threw my camera. I lifted my head up and saw one photographer taking photos. I threw my camera and then I threw my phone.

this last picture is his camera on top of his citation.

but the insane thing? yk how he said

I had taken that last shot and I threw my camera.

THIS IS THE LAST SHOT

THIS is the photo he took before he threw his camera. how poignant.

check out the article source too, it's a really good read.

op i hope you know about the guy on r/kitchenconfidential

[lyrifaun]

This is me though. Like actually.

For my birthday a few years back, my girl fulfilled a lifelong dream of mine— she purchased whole giant sashimi-grade chunks of salmon for me to "eat with my hands and face like a bear." That was the exact wish I expressed and wanted ever since I was a penniless 18 year old staring longingly at sushi counters.

I was delighted, it was so deeply satisfying and very delicious. You absolutely MUST eat it with your face and hands. No utensils. Just chomp out of the hunk.

She did it again for me this Valentine’s Day and doubled it up this time. I love her so much. She has a video somewhere of me happy and talking about how much I love life while chomping into and conversationally gesturing with a giant chunk of fishflesh as she watched in awestruck and vaguely charmed horror.

autism tests are so funny. I'm extremely literal most of the time, but people don't tell me that generally, so I'm inclined to answer disagree. because I'm taking the statement too literally
