It’s already the second time I see a wheelchair user being denied to get on the bus because there’s a fucking pram.

The doctor sent me a very passive-aggressive email. Like, what the fuck???

Being Disabled Is Also A Mental Health Battle

Disabled people are more at risk of suffering from depression and other mental illnesses.

“But it’s not that hot today”.

Okay, do you want to live in my body? Try it just for a couple of hours.

Dealing With FOMO When You're Disabled & Chronically Ill

And July's good vibes.

Today I had an interview with a recruiter who works specifically with disabled people to facilitate their entrance into the job market.

She was very polite and nice, I must say. Then she asked me about my disability and how it impacts me. I’m fine with that and, also, it’s important to know so I can be accommodated as best as possible.

But then she said that the reason for that question is also so that she doesn’t find me a job in a place I cannot access. For example, a place with no ramp or elevator.

And she said it so normally. I know it’s not her fault, and it isn’t, but…

How can people think that this is okay? That this is not discrimination? What if the company I want to work for is situated in an inaccessible place? What if I want to work there because I have the right skills and it’s my dream job and it could help me build my career?

If I wasn’t disabled I wouldn’t have to worry about it. Able-bodied people can accept every jobs no matter the place, they don’t have to worry if they can access it. They have choices that I don’t have.

Why does my career have to be put at stake by something that should be my right???

ACCESSIBILITY IS A HUMAN RIGHT.

And I’m so tired and so sick of this situation and of people thinking that it’s okay to limit access for disabled people.

All job places should be accessible.

Ableds will be “an intellectually disabled person serves me coffee in the place I go everyday” and “a wheelchair user studies in the same school/uni I do” and think that everything is fine for disabled people and that everybody has the same situation… ooookay 🫠🫠🫠

Why are people still calling this accessible?

ID: the entrance door to a faculty library. A sign next to the door indicates that disabled people shall ring a bell to enter the building. Another sign shows the hours when the library is open to the public. The building is glassy, we can see some chairs and shelves brimming with books inside.
