intro
hi, you can call me ghost! (i follow from a blog that starts with an M and posts nature pictures.)
i’m a 24 yr old physically disabled woman (she/her, cis) in the pnw and i get mad here about ableism (particularly in nightlife, more particularly in the hardcore music scene in my city), dating while disabled, being an unpalatable and bitter cripple, etc.
i am diagnosed with a few congenital and acquired physical disabilities, all of which impact my mobility, energy and cognition. i also have seizures, spasms, atrophy, and muscle weakness/numbness. i use a manual wheelchair, but can ambulate for a few feet (with the help of other aids, like a cane or crutches) if it’s not a bad spasm day, and can transfer. i won’t be listing my exact diagnoses here because it’s weirdly specific and i worry about my IRLs yk. also partially because i think everyone should get used to physically disabled people not sharing that aspect. that said, ive given info about one of my diagnoses right here. i’m passionate about rare disease advocacy.
i will share that i struggle with diagnosed PTSD, OCD and BPD. although i will not focus on mental illness here, i thought it was important to posit that i experience disability through a number of lenses.
please note: i believe in a free palestine, and i think the u.s. american empire should crumble expeditiously.
this blog is by and for physically disabled people, especially visibly physically disabled people.
do not derail.
i block:
- the usual groups of unsavory and bigoted individuals
- transid/radqueer/transabled
- “all disability is physical!!!”
- “cripple punk is for everyone!!”
- people who are unable to engage with discussion about physical disability without turning it into a discussion about mental illness
- honestly i block freely so probably others too
tags:
- #mean cripple yells and shakes fist at the sky (all of my original posts)
- #dating with disability (just what it says on the tin)
- #not disability related (nonsense vent posts, things experienced in my local hardcore scene and random reblogs generally)
fun facts under the cut 🩷
