thinking about the time a dude with a booth trying to get sign ups (no recollection of what for) approached me and said “Hey! do you know how much a polar bear weighs?” the correct response to this is “i don’t know”, so that the original speaker can say “enough to break the ice!” however, he did not count on Animal Facts Georg saying “i think about 990lbs?” which destroyed any hope for a normal and productive conversation

rip to all the “fuckyeah___” blogs that carried our society at one point </3

absolutely boggles my mind how so many social media sites do NOT want you scrolling without an account. can't even click on an instagram profile while not being logged in without it blocking you. even if you put it in the url, it only lets you scroll like twice before it prompts you to log in. fucking youtube won't let me watch videos on my phone anymore because i use firefox focus and don't want to log in every time i wanna watch a video so it's instead flagged me as a bot. i also think social media sites are drastically overestimating how badly i "need" to use their sites. if you won't let me browse someone's profile or watch a damn video on the Browsing Profiles and Watching Videos social media sites then i will simply leave. the power of chucking your phone into the metaphorical ocean. i hope i hurt their metrics every time i close out of a tab <3

If you're comfortable accusing anyone of faking disability, you're not a real ally to disabled people

[teaboot]

One time when I was a kid a group of girls and I had to treat another student for hypothermia by ourselves because she had so many invisible health issues that the adults we asked for help didn't believe us. The student in question was actively hallucinating. When I finally ran for help the people I grabbed were slow as shit to respond, casually joking about how "dramatic" the person in question was.

The kid was picked up by an ambulance 30 minutes later.

Now as an adult working in security I get SO MANY folks- upper-middle aged mostly- coming to me to 'rat out' people they think are faking it.

I was once sent into a bathroom because a client demanded that the "fucker won't get out, so go drag them out"- I was NEVER going to do that, so I did a wellness check instead. You know who it was? A person recently released from the hospital after a car accident. They had a hole in their skull and major hearing loss. They couldn't answer the owner because they couldn't HEAR the owner.

Another time about a homeless man who got around town by kicking the ground from his wheelchair. "You know he doesn't actually need that thing, his legs work fine, it's just for pity points"- Oh, so he's not paralyzed, his wheelchair is performative? Funny story Dale, I actually know that guy, he was backed over by a truck and has chronic pain from his shattered pelvis. But sure, let's make him stand up and walk everywhere so nobody feels too bad for him and tries to help him or something.

"She doesn't need that scooter, I've seen her get out of it."

"Look how fat he is, because he just rides around and refuses to get up."

"She doesn't really need that cane- she comes here without it all the time"

Sincerely, truly, from the bottom of my heart- as someone who isn't physically disabled but hears this shit all the time- fuck off

The thing that is wild about this, is all the disabled people I know try so hard not to need their mobility devices. Each time one of my friends needs to graduate to a more helpful device - cane to a walker, walker to a sitting walker, sitting walker to a wheel chair - they're deeply unhappy about it. And my other friends and I rally around them and remind them that anything that makes their life easier and less painful is GOOD, and it's there to help. We have to convince them that it's ✨okay✨ to be in less pain, and do things more easily. And none of them would be crying over that if they didn't know how many assholes are out there who'll treat them differently, accuse them of faking or being dramatic, or actively try to take their mobility aids away.

I was severely injured years ago and couldn't stand or walk at all for a month, and needed a cane for six months after. Do you know how much that sucked? How difficult it was to get around? Go to the bathroom? How exhausting it was to strategize how to run errands and get places and do basic shit like catch transit? I never took those things for granted but holy shit was that experience eye opening. A total of two people held a door open for me. A *ton* of people eyed me skeptically. I had to be seated amongst the first of those boarding a plane and other passengers were furious. Those same people would also have been furious if they were stuck behind me as I slowly hobbled onto the plane with the main group.

No one would fake a disability. I mean, there might be someone out there trying it for unfathomable reasons, but humans are hugely independent creatures and deeply, deeply pressed by our culture to feel shame over not being able to do things alone. I think the idea that anyone is faking a disability is fucking ludicrous. Needing a mobility aid is painful and difficult and exhausting, both physically and mentally. You'd only use one if it made your life legitimately easier. If you're fully mobile, IT WOULD NOT BE EASIER.

If you ever suspect someone of faking, please take a breath and rethink it. Because that is a bonkers stance.
