ID: the disability pride flag with cartoon ghosts, spiders and spiderwebs in the top right and bottom left corners. the colours of the flag are dripping like blood or slime. the flag's colours are adjusted to be more saturated and pastel.

Reading for pride, disability and pride

[Plain text: Reading for pride, disability and pride]

Because i'm disabled (multiple autoimmunes, physically disabled) i can't really go to pride. No one masks. There's a lot of walking and unavoidable stairs. There's a lot of flashing lights at adult events. When i call ahead people say "it's totally accessible there's no stairs" and when they actually mean "there's only two or three stairs" as if that's what i asked. All the usual inaccessible stuff.

So i figured i'd spend this summer reading for pride instead. Rereading favorites, finding new books, etc. Jump back into history and theory. Predominately intersex reads since i'm intersex and feel like i haven't read enough from intersex authors. And since i've been introduced to titles this year that i didn't know existed before (yay).

But anyways, it's my own celebration that won't be risking my life or hospitalization.

While i am glad i'm making my own way to be prideful this month, I do wish pride (and queer spaces in general) were more safe and accessible to me and other disabled community members and allies. This month can be super hard for those living at the intersection of queer crip. So be sure to check on your friends who are.

people who react to a video or post by a disabled person whose making light of something silly that happened to them by being like “I’m never getting into heaven” or “I want to laugh so badly” suck all the joy right out of whatever that person was sharing. Like obviously they wanted people to find it funny if they found it funny and they chose to share it, you self-centered ableist bitch. Just fucking laugh bc it’s fucking funny and shut the fuck up. I don’t want to hear you or see you try to hold in your laughter. It’s cruel and unnecessary.

hey i'm considering getting a rollator but i have zero idea what brand is the best brand for me. budget wise i'm currently looking at elenker and nova. any experience with the two? i just want a standard rollator, not a transport chair i think and definitely not the upright one. both indoor and outdoor use. i think it's between the nova star 8 petite and the elenker kld-9218 as of now

Quick poll before launching myself in a huge rant

if you're a physically disabled person dating in the lgbtqi community: do you think ableism is a problem?

nope I've never encountered ableism while dating in the lgbtqi community

yup, ableism is def a huge problem if you're dating the lgbtqi community

not disabled / not queer / see results

it's complicated and i will specify in comments or tags

New zine I released for ABQ Zine Fest earlier this month! A little guide to mobility aids for those new to them and those without adequate healthcare and guidance. This zine is also great for folks who want to learn why disabled people may use some mobility aids over others ✨

This is angled at ambulatory disabled folks, and ideally you have a doctor or healthcare professional who is helping you get the proper mobility aid for you, especially if you need a wheelchair. BUT this zine can be helpful for folks like me who do not have insurance approved mobility aids or functional doctors.

All illustrated by me :)
