"lock in" is probably one of the most important phrases to enter the public lexicon in the 2020s

A caregiver who murders a disabled person is not "poor and pitiable"

That is a murderer.

I'm gonna say it, I do think that even the laziest person imaginable should have a roof over their head, food in their stomach, and access to healthcare

Please read this because it is EXTREMELY important me (a transgender man) and to other trans individuals.

The US Government is currently trying to pass an incredibly dangerous national law for trans youth called HR 2616.

This bill would ban all Federally funded schools from teaching about gender identity or sexual orientation, prevent teachers from using the correct pronouns and names for trans students, remove books with any trans representation in them, and even go as far as to prevent teachers from acknowledging trans identity AT ALL.

Any school that does not follow this will lose all federal funding. This bill would also require teachers to forcibly out trans students to their families, which would be fatal to any trans student with a transphobic Family or just hateful family in general. Trans people are already a group that already has some of the highest rates of being victim to suicide, domestic violence, and sexual assault.

This bill actively makes teachers put those innocent children at such a big risk. This bill has rapidly passed the house this week with support from all 209 republicans, as well as 8 democrats. But, it's still being voted on in the senate, which means there is still time to help stop this.

To help stop this, you can visit 5calls.org (look up 2616 in the search bar), one of the most top issues filed Oppose Attacks on LGBTQ+ Students. Once you put in your general location, it will pull-up contact information for your senator, and give you a script for calling them.

If you are a minor and/or do not feel comfortable doing this, PLEASE repost this on here, or any other platform you are on/can find! This needs to be heard and fought against.

Thank you for reading this, my lovely people!

happy disability pride month!!!! yippee wahoo hooray

[battle-for-dyke-island]

this is what healthcare is like as a disabled person

[asexual-amanita]

Happy pride month! Please remember to include disabled people in your festivities this year! This includes:

- Hiring sign language interpreters

- Ensuring venues are step free

- Making dedicated sensory safe spaces

- Providing free masks

- Including braille or audio described signage

- Using plain language in speeches

Yes it’s more work, but pride is for everyone, it’s needs to be inclusive.

[thisis--ableism]

this might be nitpicky, but i HATE IT when the subtitles don’t match the audio. might even hate it more than no subtitles at all. it’s weirdly disorienting to read.

Lack of correct subtitles is ableism.

Usually most platforms respond if you contact support about issues with subtitles.

[fairycosmos]

you literally have to unironically listen to some shit like party rock anthem so you don’t kill yourself

[thisis--ableism]

The censorship of suicide as a topic is largely ableist.

I've got multiple attempts within the past few years. Not beating that 70/80% of people with BPD attempt suicide at least once in their life statistic. I'm saying this for the context of "I'm not oblivious to how this can be triggering to people, and this topic is something I have experienced attempting multiple times." (Please no "I'm glad you are still here" type of stuff in any replies/answer to this. To me, it comes across as infantilizing.)

Censoring the word "suicide" itself reinforces the "Don't talk about it, even doing so is so triggering to others" stigma. Just tag posts with warnings properly and trust that people with that trigger will filter everything they need to.

Seeing something I have tried and actively deal with near every day with ideation for years be treated as too triggering to even say the word for uncensored tells me that people see my experiences as too scary to hear about. God forbid think about people in my position and what we go through. Might be my lack of empathy, but it reads as performative and infantilizing to go to such lengths to the point you make the word harder to filter or have screenreaders read to protect a group of people who on this platform have tools to filter things.

This is ableism and suicidism.

@thisis-suicidism

Don’t even get me started on some of the “replacement words” like “sewer slide”, it makes me feel gross hearing it because it reads as trying to make the topic cute and child friendly.

“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?

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