people who are disabled don’t sit around all day doing nothing. even when we’re in bed, our bodies are raging a war inside of us at all times. it’s a 24/7, 365 days a year job. there’s no getting off at five. no weekends. no vacation time. being unable to work is not the luxury ableds make it out to be.

tumblr is such a unique experience in 2021 because it’s probably the only place on the internet, or in real life, really, where there is absolutely no point. there is no agenda, and no purpose, it’s just a place i can create this little bubble of art, and self-expression, and poetry, and live in it peacefully. scrolling through my blog and appreciating photography, fashion, literature, etc. just feels like a beautiful respite from everything outside of this website? no news no performance no productivity just pure vibes

Tw/Cw: talk of ableism/ableist terms

Photo ID:

First image: Black text on a distressed red background that reads "Disability is not a slur.

Second Image: Black text on an orange distressed background that reads "Autism/Autistic is not a slur."

Third image: Black text on a yellow distressed background. It reads "We need to destigmatize the word disability. It's not a slur, it's not a swear word, and it's not dirty. It's simply a descriptor/label. But you know what are slurs? Words that actually hurt disabled people? The r-slur, cripple, lame, dumb, handicapable, deranged, deformed, crazy, insane. Most of these are still used as insults. Or equated to something bad."

Fourth image: Black text on a red distressed background. It reads "Disabled people are already living in a world that was not made for us. A little consideration, even just about word choice, can make all the difference.

Fifth image: Black text on a yellow distressed background. It's titled 'Sources' at the top of the image, which is then followed by a list of sources:

Something that I was unable to mention in the above infographic, the reason that words like insane or crazy are harmful because they reinforce that those are morally awful, horrible things, or at the very least something to be ashamed of. This is inaccurate and it only adds to the saneist propaganda already out there. The same goes for using the words 'blind' and 'deaf' in the wrong situations, like saying "Man I'm so deaf hahaha" or "Wow I really must be going blind."

Find some better word choices.
