disabled people who do not directly "contribute" to society and need large amounts of care and resources to survive deserve not only to survive but to have comfort, stability, and fun within their lives while they do. no compromises.

Chronic pain pisses me off cause I'm not even incapacitated for like a cool or badass reason instead my body is throwing the world's biggest temper tantrum because it's raining outside
Unpopular opinion
I don’t want a self driving wheelchair that can go up stairs. I want ramps, elevators, and curb cuts.
I don’t want a solution in 20 years, I want it now. I wanna be able to go to the mall with my friends and not have to worry about stairs. I want to go the movies and actually choose where I sit. I want to go to a park without having to parkour my way through cracked pavement and curb drops.
I want accessibility and I want it today.
"We all have the same 24 hours!"
Bitch, the fuck we do. It takes me half an hour of laying in bed to recover from waking up. You know, the thing that you find refreshing and energizing? And no, I can't drink coffee. Why, you ask? Because it gives me heart palpitations and has a 50/50 chance of doing nothing or making me more tired. Be so for real.
POV: you are physically disabled
a zine i made about disability and punk
honestly the only way to work through ableism is to be uncomfortable. you can read the posts and the books and learn the theory and the history but none of it compares to interacting with disabled people in real life. how do you become comfortable around people with facial and limb differences? you walk past them on the street. you say hi to them. how to you become comfortable seeing people talk to themselves in public? you acknowledge that they're no threat to you and move on. how do you get used to xyz disability? you go outside and see people with it.
Abled folks really need to learn that they dont decide who is or isnt disabled
