"It's not people who are disabled - it's society that makes them disabled."

- My Sociology 102 Prof

At first I never understood what he meant when we went into the unit. Truth be told I was miffed and upset he said I didn't exist. Then boom, 1 year later Covid19 happens. Classes fot switched online. All classes for schools got switched. Suddenly those of us who need to do school online because of disabilities can do it and it's easily integrated. Holes in how money is distributed was shown globally to affect us. Those of us who are disabled with immunocompromising issues are reliant on other's understanding, mercy and forethought to survive.

Now I'm thinking he had a point.

Ableism from Holistic Instagram is hella disgusting.

Exhibit A:

I was coming off of a crash and tried to word my argument as thoroughly as I could.

I hate that I get so angry from minor inconveniences that I literally cause myself involuntary injury by grinding my teeth. Then the sky rocketing cortisol in my brain sets off a rage migraine that just makes me more angry. I have the patience of a saint when dealing with humans but when, for example, the coin trap on my washing machine has a child lock that takes more strength than me or my husband can muster, I get SO Angry that I can't just... Complete this stupid mundane fucking task because of literally bad design that I want to break something and scream. I have done years and years of anger management but there's something about being outmaneuvered by an inanimate object that I can't get past.

“Hi, I’m Valerie!”

“Oh, okay, I’ll call you Taylor.”

That’s how fucking dumb you sound when you misgender someone.
