I usually default to the Herobrine one but occasionally I claim that my sister was a bear and we used to fight a lot.

MASTERPOST

Shout out to the ten year old who just got diagnosed. Shout out to the housebound fourteen year old. Shout out to the eighteen year old who can’t go to the university they wanted. Shout out to the twenty two year old who can’t get a job. Shout out to the twenty six year old with a caretaker. Shout out to the thirty year old who can’t buy their own house.

Shout out to young disabled people. We exist.

some of y'all abled "allies" take back your support as soon as the person is "gross".

you still need to support disabled people if they use a catheter, diapers, IVs, food bags, and waste bags.

you still need to support disabled people if they cant shower, brush their teeth, put on deodorant, or shave regularly.

you still need to support disabled people if they bedrot, eat messily, and breathe noisily.

i am so tired of y'all treating disabled folks like trash.

This Post Is About Physical Disability. Do Not Derail.

Hey you, yeah, you, give that character a mobility aid. Do it. That girl who canonically has a leg injury? Give her a cane. That guy that doesn't have a canonical injury but whom you feel ok your heart is definitely chronically ill? Give him a wheelchair. That character you headcanon as disabled because they just kinda feel like it in your head? Give them crutches! That character you really really like and really really relate too? Give em a rollator! Sky's the limit! Go wild! People are gonna have problems with us creating a space for ourselves regardless, might as well bring a few of our favorite characters and OCs with us!

Disability is not a dirty word. Me calling myself disabled is not me insulting myself. I am using a word that describes the fact I am not able-bodied.

I just saw a video where a girl was saying “If you have just learned about my condition, you probably will not cure it so please stop bringing it up.” Yet her comments is full of abled people being like “We’re just making conversation!” “We are just being nice” “Well why are you bringing it up so much?”

The amount of times I’ve been approached in public when I have my cane and “prayed” for or have to then listen to a story about someone’s mom’s aunts friend… I would have enough nickels to get more medical research.

So NO! Sometimes you can just be existing and people will try and help you. And it’s not helpful please stop.

Friendly reminder to check the feet/tips on your canes and crutches; do they need to be replaced?

Also, don't forget to check the feet of your shower chair/stool occasionally ✌️
