Not Weird, Just Different

Hi! My name is Amy and according to popular belief, I am a pretty weird person. I like oldies music, I'm a band geek, I get excited over a great use of diction within works of prose and I absolutely love live theatre. I am pretty happy with the person I have become and I have an amazing life. I really feel like since I have such a good life, that I should give back as much as possible. I strive to help others feel good about themselves, I am the rock for people who need support, and I am constantly trying to encourage people to feel good about who they are and not to try and fit in the with crowd, because even though you may be a weird person at heart, being different is not weird. I hope you like my extremely random blog full of pictures and quotes that I enjoy! And remember, if you ever need someone to talk to, I am here! Even if I don't know you, I will support you and give you advice to my best ability. Thanks for following!

Do you have a disabled neighbor who receives benefits because they can't work but you see them playing a sport with their child, doing yardwork, or doing other physical activity?

That doesn't mean they're faking their disability.

If someone can do physical exercise for an hour on a good day, that doesn't mean they can do it on command for eight hours straight then do it again the next day and the next and the next and the next.

Disabled people should not have to perform their disability to your standards.

i genuinely think that physically it’s easier to have hard conversations when you’re both facing forward, not having to look at each other. the catholic church knew this also

“Nobody’s going to want to sit on high-speed rail for fifteen hours to get from New York City to LA.”

Me. I will sit on high-speed rail for fifteen hours. I’ll sit on it for days. I’ll write and read and nap and eat and then do it all over again. I’ll stare out the windows and see America from ground level and not have to drive. I’ll see the Rockies and the deserts and cornfields and the Mississippi River and your house and yours and yours too. I’ll make up stories in my head about the small towns I see as we go along. I’ll see the states I’ve yet to see because driving or flying there is a fucking slog and expensive to boot. I’ll enjoy the ride as much as the destination. And then I’ll do it all over again to come the fuck home.

sick of how the old prophecies always leave out key details tbh. they’re like Yea Þere Will Come Þe Yeare Of Pusseye Outte but never add (Because Ye Shall Nevere Leave Yon Abode For Feare Of Þe Ravaging Plague) it’s such bullshit.

"we'll get you in" and "someone can help you" do NOT mean the venue is accessible. if i call up in advance of an event and ask if i will be able to attend, i want to know if i can actually attend or if going there will be a disastrous waste of my time, money, and energy. if you have stairs just fucking say you have stairs, fucking hell, "uhhhh we can carry your wheelchair with you in it" is not an answer to whether there is step-free access

[chthonic-pain]

im so sick of able bodied cowards wringing their hands & being too embarrassed to admit over the phone that their building's architecture is hostile to disabled people. like yeah you SHOULD feel bad about it, but you also have a duty to be honest. if you dance around and try avoid telling me the building is not accessible, you risk me showing up and getting stuck and causing an even worse scene because you lied about accessibility and now you've got a distressed cripple in your foyer.

like. i don't care how ashamed you are. i don't care how embarrassed you are. i will think so, so much less of you if you try to hide the shitty access from me instead of just informing me. i need that information for my physical safety. i am not saying that you personally are responsible for the inaccessibility. i just want to plan my fuckin day without getting stranded somewhere for once.

[chthonic-pain]

let me rephrase this a little more kindly

if you work at an inaccessible venue and a disabled person calls up to ask if there is wheelchair access, you are doing them a favor and being a good ally by saying the truth and warning that person about inaccessibility. if you want to help disabled people, you need to make an effort not to put obstacles in our way, and that means informing us of access issues so that we can plan around them and avoid getting stuck or hurt.

if you lie about or try to minimize access issues, you are instead putting us in danger.

we will learn about the inaccessibility one way or another: either by you telling us, or by going there and finding out for ourselves when we hit a roadblock. don't let it be the second one, it's much less pleasant for everyone involved.

Before the internet, librarians were the gatekeeper of knowledge. For your reading pleasure, the New York Public Library released a cache of queries and conundrums called in from the 1940s to the 1980s.
