We need to talk about how so many queer spaces are inaccessible and even actively hostile to physically disabled people.

God the saddest thing about all the unmasking stuff is that people are probably secretly (and some openly) happy to not see any of us cripples in public now. Lots of us have to stay at home bc we can't risk getting covid (again). And the ones that go out get harassed for wearing a mask. Like I've had people come up to me and ask why I'm wearing that or say loudly that they don't think masks work. It's scary.

And even probably people at pride think this too. That they are happy not to have any cripples in wheelchairs or canes/crutches slowing them down or getting grossed out by people with feeding tubes, diapers, or colostomy bags. We "ruin the fun" by just existing apparently.

If you are abled and read this, check your biases. You probably feel this way too deep down. Wear your mask.

Sometimes I'm sad because if i wasn't chronically ill I know I would be grabbing life by the hand and running off as fast as I could, chasing my dreams with passion and veracity. I would've gone to a better college, done better in my classes, I'd be farther along than I am now.

But I've realized, sometimes life takes you by the hand instead, and says let's rest a bit. And that's okay. We'll get there eventually, but for now let's take it easy.

There needs to be like...a pain scale+ for chronic pain peeps

0 - has literally never happened

1 - did you just take morphine?

2 - miracle day

3 - evening of miracle day

4 - just took a hot bath

5 - a good day

6 - sort of achy but it's not too bad

7 - something is sore, a bit tired

8 - yeah ok it kind of hurts but I can still ignore it and get stuff done. Pretty normal day.

9 - taking it more easy today, still able to get some things done slowly. It probably rained and/or is cold out.

10 - brain is more foggy, can't really ignore pain anymore, it's present but I can still move around. Need to take frequent breaks.

11 - can't really go anywhere, need to take frequent naps, maybe get one thing done. Need to use a little pain relief and coping methods.

12 - stay in bed all day except for bare necessities for survival. Using coping and pain relief methods.

13 - need help with taking care of self, in bed all day, sleeping most of the time. Using lots of coping and pain relief methods.

14 - little hard to fall asleep due to pain and discomfort. Need to use coping and pain relief methods to sleep. Some crying. Can't move except for bathroom.

15 - coping and pain relief methods not very effective but do take the edge off. Can barely make it to the bathroom. Either sleep all day or lay in bed on phone. Might also have a little cold or something and need to take extra meds.

16 - coping and pain relief methods not working, need help going to bathroom, lots of crying, can barely sleep due to pain. Can barely type on phone.

17 - too much pain to cry, can barely talk, cannot move, even with help it's hard going to the bathroom, too tired to use pain relief and coping methods, cannot even use phone. Still you know all your pain is from your illness. The worst pain your illness can cause.

18 - feel like you're dying, Also are sick separate from illness. Require medical intervention. Call your doctor.

19 - you need to go to the doctor or hospital. You have an additional illness or injury. Something is very wrong.

20 - you got fucking shot, or your leg is snapped in two. The most unbearable pain imaginable. You need to go to the emergency room. Call 911

Check out this article my university posted on their website!

I hope my interview shows aspiring environmentalists who are physically disabled that they have a place in the movement and I hope that employers will see this and be more open to hiring disabled peeps like me!

Abled neurodivergent people calling us exclusionists as if the cripplepunk community is the same as the LGBTQ+ community 🙄
