#disability pride

[covid-safer-hotties]

Hi! Hello! Happy Disability Pride Month! Wear a mask to help keep disabled people safe from airborne diseases like Covid, flu, and RSV which we're at higher risk of hospitalization and dying from!

[finnslay]

happy disability pride to those people who feel like they aren't "disabled enough" to celebrate. this is your month too. this month is for all disabled people, not about comparing "who has it worse". if you're disabled, you can celebrate this month for yourself <3

Applemedia for Disability Pride Month because these fellows got in my brain and I missed gay month. Also I gotta classify their categories of mental illness. ADHD Alastor, AuDHD Vox, and Autistic Lucifer. I do also think Vox has BPD, but that didn’t quite fit here.

"You know, you could be a lot *nicer* in some of your covid activism."

So sorry I don't follow the protestant christian tenants of "turn the other cheek" when I'm talking to people who (at best) think of me and my disabled comrades as semi-human and disposable. So sorry I (a disabled person) didn't throw every callous individual a personalized 7 week course on how to not be a piece of shit and willingly spread disease and do it gratis. Clearly, I'm a *bad person* for expressing anger at having to defend my and others right to life and health. So sorry I send people to the resource I've been building so they can answer their own questions instead of reading their minds to figure out exactly which argument would best change that single individual's mind. That's my job, not the evidence's.

I really am a bad person for pushing angrily against (at best) second-class personhood and the poverty and suffering of my peers. Obviously *I* have a *lot* of work to do to be a kinder, gentler person, not the people writing off thousands of deaths each year as "Oh they must have had underlying conditions." I don't deserve to live a full and healthy life because I'm disabled? My parents don't deserve to watch their granddaughter grow up because they're over the age of 55 and medically frail? My friends don't deserve to feel safe at the hospital where they're receiving life-saving treatments because they have underlying conditions?

Sure, I'm not the nicest girl on the block, but at least I'm doing my part to not kill and disable my friends and neighbors. Maybe *you* need to work on being nicer to disabled people instead of trying to convince me I'm an evil, irredeemable bitch? Maybe that's a sign of some of your inborn biases about disability and women cropping up?

autistic peter parker || headcanon collection

happy disability pride!! get ready for me to be annoying again and talk about The Autistic Peter Parker Headcanon™️ (I was gonna post these sooner, but @archerinthevents beat me to the punch, that little rascal)

because of his spider powers, peter can’t thermoregulate, and this exacerbates his sensory issues when it comes to temperature.

peter is sensory avoidant, and after being in an overstimulating place for too long he tends to shut down. his favorite environment is similar to a spider’s— dark, slightly cold, and secluded. sometimes he’ll curl up on the ceiling in the corner of the lab. (YOU BETTER SEND ME THAT PILLOW FORT FIC ACE)

peter is high-masking. few people in his life know that he’s autistic (may, tony, ned, MJ, pepper, happy, etc.) and he really doesn’t want the information getting out because he just knows Flash would use that as more ammo to make fun of him. (It eventually does get out, and he does.)

when peter goes into verbal shutdown, he and Tony simply talk in other ways, like ASL and Morse code. (I’ve talked about this at length before and I will never stop talking about it thanks)

peter has a habit of eating the same foods daily, and has a hard time breaking this routine. Tony keeps his favorite snacks stocked at the lab and makes sure not to push him too far out of his comfort zone when it comes to trying new things, but still makes him try new food every once in a while.

peter has comfort shows, most of which are kids shows or shows with repetitive premises. His particular favorites are Ninjago, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Henry Danger, and Mythbusters. He usually watches them when there’s no one else around because he’s afraid of people making fun of him, but after a really hard mission he and Tony start watching one of his shows together and Peter realizes that Tony won’t make fun of him. Tony even shows Peter the Transformers cartoon from the 80s, and that becomes another comfort show.

Peter’s meltdowns look more like either shutting down or blowing up in anger/agitation. do with that information what you will

peter is very light sensitive due to his enhanced senses and gets headaches constantly.

I will reblog with a part 2 if I think of any more :)

Edited to add: Since a lot of people are reblogging this original post, I'm adding the updated version I did that incorporates the intersex circle...

I know intersex people are still getting excluded in a lot of LGBTQIA+ spaces (let alone wider society) and I think it's crucial to show this group is included in the statement that we all deserve equal rights.
