when people tag posts "unreality" it's a signal to people who struggle with discerning reality that a (likely scary if believed to be true) post is not real even though it's written as if it was. it's also a filter tag so those people can opt out of seeing posts like that entirely. many people who rely on the unreality tag are psychotic and struggle with paranoia alongside (or because of) the struggles discerning what's real. posts that these people interpret to be real can lead to incredible distress and compulsions.

when someone tags your post "#unreality" and you screenshot the tags and say "what are you talking about? this is real" because you consider the post easy to discern as not real and find this joke funny you're actually just causing paranoia for people who now feel like they can't trust the unreality tag. not everyone has the same reality discernment skills as you. what's "obviously" a fictional story to you may not be obvious to other people.

I don't think most people make this joke maliciously. I think most people making this joke don't even realize why the unreality tag exists. anyways, if you've made this joke or have the urge to make this joke then consider not doing that.

a lot of people on this post complaining about their real posts being tagged #unreality and how it pisses them off

*politely* correcting people is fine. this post is pretty explicitly about sarcasm. if you're not being sarcastic then it's fine to correct people. this post is only talking about sarcasm. people not being sarcastic about this actually helps you because people feel safer trusting that you're not making a joke

and if you think your annoyance at your post being tagged #unreality means that the tag shouldn't be used at all you need to get your priorities straight. be kinder to psychotic people thanks.

“You can do anything you set your mind to!”

Well thanks Susan, but I’m actually disabled which literally means I can’t do certain things.

How the fuck is the “disabled character magically cures their disability by the end of the series” trope still alive and well. I’ll kill it myself. With a gun

It bothers me so much that the healthcare system relies so much on the patient's ability to advocate for themselves, organize their history, and be so persistent against every medical “professional” who says there’s nothing wrong/they can do. But so many struggle with fatigue, brain fog, and face such ingrained systemic barriers, that the people who need and deserve help and support can’t access it.

I saw something recently that resonated with me: “Access shouldn't depend on who has the energy to fight for it.” And I’ve never agreed with anything more.

I'm so tired

I'm going to an event that's mostly accessible and then someone physically, blocking access to a space (unintentionally) and instead of being The confident person that I can be sometimes, and asking that person to make space for me

I just don't want to have to ask to get the same access.

Until you end up sitting in the hallway listening to people talk until someone leaves which gives you the unofficial permission to leave and then you go home and you think you're okay and you're not

and you're just so tired

And you feel like you're crying is performative just like the fact that you're crying in your own apartment where no one can see you.

And you're just so tired.

disabled people especially disabled women need to be hornier. pleaaase no more disability discord servers with trigger lists longer than a cvs receipt and separate nsfw chats. disability blogs that only talk about disability itself like it has to be a sanitized topic kept seperate from the rest of the reality of adult life. posts about disabled sex that use medical terms and feel almost clinical. our sexuality has been taken from us for so long reclaiming and normalizing it has to be an integral part of our fight against ableism. please

Sorry I'm not posting, I'm too busy having hot disabled sex after fight club

Like the damn academic I am this quote holds water for me, especially right now

"If a friend of mine gave a feast, and did not invite me to it, I should not mind a bit. but if a friend of mine had a sorrow and refused to allow me to share it, I should feel it most bitterly. If he shut the doors of the house of mourning against me, I would move back again and again and beg to be admitted so that I might share in what I was entitled to share. If he thought me unworthy, unfit to weep with him, I should feel it as the most poignant humiliation."

– Oscar Wilde

disabled people's privacy also extends to other disabled people. like you might also be disabled but asking a stranger who uses crutches why they use them isn't wildly different from an abled person asking that. commenting on someone's wheelchair can still be insensitive if you're also disabled. and sharing the fact that you're disabled and have health problems doesn't mean someone else has to reciprocate. sometimes disabled people don't want to be singled out for what immediately sets them apart from everyone else, no matter who is doing that or what their intentions are

[lynch231]

I try to walk the walk

as much as I talk the talk

And it's not easy.

But I think it's worth it

you can't really ask

your friends if they would love you if you were a star — they'll take it the correct way, and you'll meet a lot of people very quickly.

I think people would be less suicidal if they were allowed to talk about being suicidal without risk of being sent to the Torture Dungeon
