Good on you for your patience. Your post-checking is always laid out in a very professional and academic way and I think that makes people uncomfortable bc it's harder for them to make it black and white and shout "shame! shame!" at something.

hi, thanks! I do understand the urge to find some sort of clear conclusion, and that often the more complex answers aren't as satisfying. I'm trying really hard to patient with people, but tbh I don't find it easy! I don't mind genuine corrections or criticisms, but I'm often getting responses that criticise things that I haven't said lmao. If it weren't for all the sincerely kind people on here, I would have quit ages ago

I saw you chatting on a post about straws a few days back saying you often feel like ur just preaching to the choir when you constantly speak on issues involving ableism, chronic illness, etc., And I just wanted to say that you're totally not. I am 100% able-bodied and you have completely changed my outlook and the way I live my life, just by being on here and being unapologetic. You've genuinely affected my thought process when I see things or see diabled ppl or discussions about disability.

Thank you so much, these comments really mean a lot

This is a Bunno

Also called a Bun

And occasionally called a wabbit

But what's most important is to understand bunno anatomy

We start with the floppity loppitys

Some bunnos have very droppy floppity loppitys

Others have not so droppy floppity loppitys

Then theres the blinkers

And the booplesnoot

Which is also called the wigglesniffer

*boops @huffle-princess 's bunny nose*

Hi! I'm able-bodied and wondering what tips you guys would give on being the best ally I can be for disabled people? Sorry if this is covered somewhere, I did check the FAQ!

Disability civil rights are still in their infancy. So what we actually need from allies is pretty simple

We need people to listen to what we have to say instead of people claiming to speak for us and we need people to share what we say. Share our posts, post news or support, correct people who aren't disabled and tell them to listen to us.

The second thing would be to boycott places that discriminate but I've never known any able-bodied person who was willing to do that once they learn how many places are inaccessible or associated with eugenic programs.

Right now my favorite song is Gooey by Glass Animals

I just listened to it. It is a very interesting song. Not really my style though.

heya guys i just read on a link posted here that 'differently abled' is ableist language. I was just hoping i could ask you guys for an explanation and wondering what I can use instead? I usually use differently abled as an umbrella term like eg "we need to make sure each classroom has provisions for differently abled students" which would apply whether a student used a wheelchair, or was hearing impaired, or neurodivergent or whatever, so what can i use in its place thats inclusive the same way

It’s bad because we’re NOT abled, we’re disabled. That is the whole point of the term disabled. We’re not differently abled at all, and saying so only lightens our issues. A person in a wheelchair isn’t ‘differently abled’ when facing stairs that have no ramp option. An autistic person isn’t ‘differently abled’ for not being able to interpret social cues. We’re not abled at all. We’re disabled. We are disabled people. Just say disabled people because that is what we are, and most of us dislike person first language anyway. If you want to include neurodivergent people that might not be disabled, you can say ‘neurodivergent people’ as well.
