I know I'm not the only disabled person who hates fireworks.

Fuck fireworks.

Yes, some disabilities are dynamic, and most of us in the disability community know this. However many people aren’t aware of just how dynamic some conditions can be.

A person can go from no symptoms at all to being profoundly debilitated all in one day.

Some have baseline symptoms so low and flares so high, that things can go from 1 to 10 very quickly.

I know it can seem impossible that some people’s disabilities fluctuate with such extreme variability, but this is a real phenomenon that people deal with.

People with skin conditions deserve better. People with acne, eczema, psoriasis, hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), and other skin conditions do not deserve to be treated like we're contagious or an eyesore. We deserve to be in public and show our skin and not feel ashamed because there is no shame in having a medical condition. We deserve to be free from insensitive questions and unsolicited advice. People with scars, including but not limited to those from burns, surgery, self-harm, injury, illness, and acne also deserve to live life without worrying about rude comments and questions. Don't comment on people's skin, especially strangers'. Even if you think you're being tactful.

it is okay to have a high amount of screen time, ESPECIALLY if you are disabled and homebound/bedbound.

It is not morally wrong to try to stay connected with the outside world, do not listen to the opinions of able bodied people who could not fathom your reality.

the hate on age regression on tiktok is pissing me off so

EVERBODY NORMALIZE AGE REGRESSION!!! NORMALIZE TEEN REGRESSION!! NORMALIZE PET REGRESSION!!! NORMALIZE INVOLUNTARY AND VOLUNTARY REGRESSION!! NORMALIZE AND VALIDATE AGE DREAMING!!!

It's not "weird" or "creepy" , nor is it shameful . It's a completely valid coping mechanism 🩵

Reminder that cripple is only for describing actual physical symptoms, and not debt or depression or anything else.

Cripple has been hurled at disabled people for decades if not centuries, and used to imply that our existence is the worst thing that can happen to a person. That our lives are miserable and worthless.

Don't undermine our efforts to take this slur and turn it back into a neutral word.

Stop using cripple as a negative descriptor. The words debilitating and incapacitated are right there. If you don't like those, go to a thesaurus.

Disabled people are allowed to be angry and mean. Especially when you are threatening or attacking them. We will never live in a world where someone isn't bitchy sometimes and I'm gonna be honest, i do not want to.

[wheelie-sick]

why did I not have the "cripplepunk" zionist blocked already

anyways, a reminder that zionists can't be cripplepunk. Palestine is a disability rights issue. you're not standing in solidarity with physically disabled people if you're not standing in solidarity with Palestine.

no, it does not matter that "you don't support the genocide"- if you support israel then you support the genocide. israel is inherently a genocidal settler colony. you cannot reform israel. israel is built on the blood of Palestinians.

you cannot walk a "middle line" on israel/Palestine and stand in solidarity with physically disabled people across the globe. there is no middle line. you either support the genocide or you stand in solidarity with Palestine. you cannot "both sides" this.

btw every time you tell a disabled person with limited energy to do something simply for the sake of being “productive” an angel loses its wings

I see a lot of posts around this time of year that talk about getting a mobility aid if you need one and that you aren't "not disabled enough" to get one if it'll help, which is true! But I don't see a lot about making sure you get the right mobility aid. You do need to do some research to make sure it's the correct one for your needs, because using the wrong one long term will hurt you. If you can see a specialist about it that's even better, but that's not accessible to everyone.

One thing I see a lot is people suggesting canes as a catch-all mobility aid for everyone who has mobility issues. Canes are not for weight bearing! If you use a cane for heavy weight bearing long term, you will hurt your wrists and back! Canes are for balance. There are also different types of canes, but someone else can probably explain those better than I can.

A crutch/pair of crutches is better for bearing weight, particularly forearm/support crutches if you're going to be using them a lot and don't want to strain your wrists, or platform crutches if you don't have a lot of arm strength.

Walkers/rollators are good for if you do have arm and hand strength and need a place to sit down or need to carry a lot with you, but very very bad if you can't weight bear well with your arms or pull the brakes easily. You will often need to be able to use your foot to maneuver it over a slight lip, too. If you can't do all of those things you will hurt yourself.

Wheelchairs are a whole lot more complicated and I don't feel qualified to speak on that (I've only ever used improperly fitted chairs, and have suffered permanent damage because of it).

Mobility scooters are great for going outside alone if you don't have the arm strength for a manual chair, as they can handle terrain that an motorised wheelchair often can't, but are harder to maneuver in small spaces (especially bulky class 3 scooters, which aren't designed for indoor use at all) and usually aren't suitable for full time use. If you need more support they most likely won't be suitable either, the seats are usually not designed with support for people who cannot hold themselves upright and generally do not have a seatbelt by default. I'm working on a proper guide for this and will hopefully post it soon!

There's also deconditioning to keep in mind, which is very important to think about if you aren't doing physiotherapy. You also need to consider things like pressure sores, which you will be especially prone to in seated mobility aids if you aren't able to reposition yourself regularly or have loss of sensation in or awareness of any part of your body.

Do your research! Don't just default to a cane!

we need more fucking seats I shouldn't have to stand when I'm in pain also not everyone can get mobility aid like me for an example I'm like 99 percent sure I actually need it but my grandma keeps forgetting to call the doctor

edit: I'm 100 percent sure I actually need mobility aid

[sleepybunnydreams]

ever since yesterday, my pain got worse I don't know how to explain it but I was in pain all fucking day

[sleepybunnydreams]

I fucking hate when minors say I need an older man like no you don't saying this as a victim of pedophilia I've literally gotten rape threats cus of it I couldn't sleep for fucking days

[sleepybunnydreams]

scoliosis actually sucks cus you'll be excited to go out, but no, you start having pain

[sleepybunnydreams]

does anyone relate to this, but I can't do anything if I'm not interested in it. Even if I force myself to do it, it feels like a chore like yesterday. I was interested in taking care of myself, and then a couple minutes later, I wasn't. I was just exhausted

uhh I might be neurodivergent
