The Insane Cripple Your Mom Warned You About

They/Hir - Polyfragmented System - This is a Madpunk and Cripplepunk blog

[insane-cripplepunk]

Hello everyone! This is May of the Song System (the system that runs this blog). Just some information about our blog under the cut.

DNI: Against Self Diagnosis, Believe In PD Abuse, If Your Weird About hEDS/HSD

We have Hsd and Chronic pain because of that, we have APD and ADHD. We are DIC. We also have orthostatic hypotension and chronic knee pain.

This blog will mainly be run by May who will tag her posts as "May - She/Her". If we don't tag it in that format, assume we forgot or we didn't know who was fronting when we made it.

If you want to talk to someone specific, tag the name of who you want to talk to. If you do not and use pronouns that aren't they/hir, we will assume it is a troll.

Every time I express that I think it's shitty to say that genAI "hallucinates," people get weirdly pissy and combative with me.

But until real human beings who experience hallucinations are treated like human beings worthy of respect and dignity...I think perhaps it's shitty to keep associating hallucinations with being non-human, dangerous, and a liar.

It actually really fucking sucks that hallucinating is seen as monster-movie-scary, dangerous, inhuman, and worthy of scorn and/or mockery. It actually really fucking sucks that people who hallucinate or experience delusions can't get compassionate help or understanding, because everyone thinks it's an automatic sign of being dangerous, violent, and a liar. It's a massive problem that people look at hallucinations as "dangerous crazy person shit" that should be gotten rid of or locked away.

I find it crass, at best, to flippantly use the term "AI hallucinations" when real-life people get abused, imprisoned, and killed because they experience hallucinations.

But what do I know, I'm just a crazy person. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[renthony]

People in the notes keep proposing alternatives or asking me what they should say instead, and I really think y'all are overthinking it. You don't need to coin an entire new term. You can just say "AI generates misinformation." If you need it as a noun, "AI misinformation."

If you want to be provocative, "AI spits out garbled bullshit" works, too.

interesting how when medical providers or caregivers abuse disabled people, everyone falls over themselves to make excuses for how they're just so tired and overworked and stressed they can't NOT abuse you.

and yet no grace is given to our exhaustion, our pain, our anger. anything other than perfect smiling compliance and simpering gratitude can be punished. if you do things they don't approve of, they may retaliate, or drop you entirely, and write things in your notes that will guarantee future mistreatment.

if you can't imagine how difficult it is to rely on people for basic survival, especially underpaid strangers who don't give a fuck about you, lucky you. if you've never had to appease anyone or choke back justified hurt and anger so as not to be left to rot, lucky you. it takes enormous social energy, which not everyone has. disabled people's survival shouldn't be a popularity contest.

how come only the person who has all the power and the choice to leave if they want, gets to have a hard day?

"accessibility isn't just about ramps" could we possibly wait until ramps are actually reliably available before we hand-wave them away please?

The problem with being low support needs is that people mentally autocorrect that to “no support needs” and then proceed to give you absolutely nothing and then get surprised when you implode after six months.

Im going to assume OP is talking about autism but i wanna build off this form a chronic pain perspective

My credentials are that i have scoliosis thats like 1 or 2 degrees away from needing medical care. And I’ve had it all my life and only last year got “diagnosed” with chronic pain because of the problems it was causing for my body. And was only diagnosed and seeing a PT after i had a meltdown about my pain.

(I say “diagnosed” because while it was never stater to me “you have chronic pain” it was inadvertently stated and ofc my pediatrician sent me to physical therapy for my persistent pain)

When you struggle with something on the low end of the overall problem, people ignore you. They ignore you until you are screaming and crying about how persistent the problem is for you.

There are days when ive been in so much pain walking is almost physically impossible. There are times when my pain is a 3 and times when it is a 7. As I’m writing this my neck has a tight muscle that kinda throbs and my neck aches.

If you have chronic pain, if you have low support needs, if you need help. You need to be loud. People do not listen when you quietly struggle.

good morning everyone it's time to be tortured to insanity and then of course tortured for being insane

Happy disability pride to all of you. To the "annoying" or "stubborn" ones, to all of you who are struggling to come to terms with being disabled, to those who aren't quite sure what it means yet, to those who are a "problem", to those who go out of their way to not be, to those who have themselves figured out, to those unable to speak up for themselves, to those able to, to those who are undiagnosed, to those who are fighting to be taken seriously, to those who are learning to advocate, to those we lost, to those I haven't mentioned. You're valid. You deserve to be here. We all do. Let's have a good one

In honor of Disability Pride Month:

I am not "differently abled".

I do not have a "superpower".

I am disabled and I have disabilities, and neither is a bad word.

[insane-cripplepunk]

Hey everyone! Happy Disability Pride month. For disability pride month I'm doing disability sensitivity reading for all of disability pride month (July). I have experience in HSD, DID, Autism, Auditory Processing Disorder, ADHD as well as Bipolar 2 and Anxiety. DM me if you want me to do a sensitivity reading for you!

[liebelesbe]

june is over... goodbye pride month, hello disability pride month!!

[liebelesbe]

let's all be disabled this month... together 🤝

[liebelesbe]

if you're not disabled yet: no need to worry! i can help. come closer.

[anistarrose]

disability pride month starts in less than a week so here's an early reminder to write IDs (image descriptions) so your posts are accessible to many groups of disabled people, especially those who are blind and use screen readers. here are resources to help with writing them if you need them

[ravioliet]

okay more serious version of my other post about this but the fact that arachnophobia modes that censor spiders are the video game accessibility settings things that have become widespread instead of other accessibility settings perplexes me so much. like if you can remove spiders from your game but not things like flashing lights or effects that cause motion sickness i think you might need to reconsider your priorities

everybody’s a fucking disability activist until someone with a cluster-b disorder shows up

[tankie-transfeminist]

If you hate narcissistic people you need to unfollow me. Only people who love and support narcissists are allowed on this blog.

For anyone who's still around and wants to be educated, "narcissism" is a personality disorder, which is a fancy way of saying that it's a way of existing, which has real disadvantages, but which has also been effectively criminalized by the medicarceral system. If you hate narcissists, you are complicit in the ongoing social processes which deny them bodily autonomy, human connection, and basic dignity.

Narcissism/being narcissistic/having NPD is not a moral failing. Treating narcissistic people like shit is.

[tankie-transfeminist]

If you don't have NPD it's actually more important you reblog this. It's been really great seeing a lot of people with NPD react to this really positively, but I need everyone who does not have NPD to enforce this for their own blogs too.

[voredere]

friendly reminder to ppl who don't have NPD

-NPD has one of the highest suicide rates of any mood related disorder; slightly less impulsivity based attempts than BPD, but NPD sufferers are more likely to succeed in their attempts.

-NPD, like most cluster B disorders, is generally traumagenic, meaning it usually develops as a means of coping with childhood trauma, abuse, or neglect.

-"Narc abuse" is pop psychology with no real basis in reality. NPD sufferers are infinitely more likely to be abused than become abusers, and are typically more prone to self destructive than anything.

-If your parents sucked shit, it's because they *chose* to treat you like shit, not because they had a magic version of NPD that makes them a Bad Person. sorry you had to find out this way.

-Random people online with NPD aren't your parents and it's really creepy to project your trauma onto them.

treat the NPD sufferers in your life like people or die trying.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

There is no room for rad fems in cripplepunk. The creator was trans. The majority of the people in it are trans. This isn't just the "cool disabled" tag it's a fucking movement.

[affectionatealbatross]

i’m NEVER going to “be quiet” about being physically disabled btw. Everyone has to get even louder about it.

[tiredraccoonman]

I’m SO tired of inaccessible “accessible” bathrooms. Designers seem to think that if they slap a few support bars in there then BAM! Accessible! When half the time you can’t even fit a wheelchair in the stall, the door opens the wrong way, the sinks too high, you can’t each the soap dispenser etc. etc.

Half the time I can’t even open the door by myself if it’s an “accessible/family restroom” like the door is LITERALLY heavier than me and my chair COMBINED! Nothing that requires outside help to use should EVER be deemed “accessible”. If I can’t do it by myself…it’s not accessible. End of story.
