If I ever get forced to upload my ID to this website, I'm never going to use it again because I don't trust any tech company with my ID.

”Hello able bodied/neurotypical person. In front of you is a person who requires medication in order to function. Your task is to listen to them talk about how this medication has improved their life without accusing them of addiction. If you fail, one thousand spiders will be sent to your exact location. Your time begins now.”

#i’m a pharmacy tech and my pharmacy treat ppl on gabapentin like they’re addicted to the most dangerous drug #like bestie it’s not even controlled in our state #and gabapentin was the first thing that got me out of my nerve pain i’ve had since birth #i don’t give a shit if i am ‘dependent’ on it. i dont wanna be in excruciating pain!!#(also obviously anyone with a substance use disorder shouldn’t be treated poorly.)

Hey, if you're disabled and you use your phone an absolutely obscene amount of hours a day because it's the only thing you can do within your energy budget and it's the one way you can interact with the world. I see you. Don't be embarrassed about that. It's okay. You're allowed to be addicted to your phone. Especially if that phone is the only thing keeping you from absolutely losing your mind while you're stuck at home or in bed.

Don't let ppl shame you for your screen time.

If you’re really a “mental health advocate”, you’ll have to acknowledge people who lack empathy, people who can’t physically care about other people, people who are narcissistic and/or self serving, people who have homicidal thoughts, people who are extreme attention seekers, people who have unstable and erratic emotions, etc etc…

Mental health advocacy doesn’t stop at disorders you “just don’t like”.

People need to relearn the word « self-centered » and stop being ableist by using narcissism as a replacement

So many things would be better if doctors could just say “yeah that is a real problem but there isn’t much we can do to treat it so our only real recommendations are other things that raise your general health level to compensate”

instead they just say “thats normal” or “oh theres nothing wrong with you”. Because in their mind “it wont kill you and i cant fix it” means its not worth mentioning.

Affirm the problem doc, it wont kill you. Knowing that something just isnt the kind of thing doctors treat will save your patients so much time, money, and stress, all of which will improve their health.

#when we got diagnosed with hEDS our doctor was like that #she was like well we can’t really cure or fix it #but it’s a problem we can try to make a bit less problematic #and her validating my experiences made me happy cry and my mom told the doctor this was the first time we had one listen and validate me

"But what if people will pretend to need this accessibility option so they can be lazy! People who don't need it will use it!!" I don't actually care

I dont care if 9/10 of the people who use the wheelchair ramp arent actually in wheelchairs. As long as the 1 person who needs it has access to it.

I dont care if 9/10 people who use the automatic push button on the library door can actually push the door open themselves. As long as the 1 person who the door is too heavy for gets to use it.

I dont care if 9/10 people who buy the can tab opener, or the little guitar clamp that holds the chords for you, or the hand grip that helps you hold chop sticks, don't need any of it and just get it to "be lazy". As long as the one disabled person who needs it gets access to it.

I do not care. Oh my GOD I do not care. As long as there's a disabled person on this planet who the accessibility device will benefit, the accessibility device is necessary.

Also, if you're so worried about people being "lazy" by using accessibility devices, MORE worried than you are about disabled (visibly or not) people not having access to them, you have unchecked ableism you need to work through.

Anti homeless architecture is also often anti-disabled architecture. And it doesn't help that those demographics also overlap quite a bit because medical bills are insane. Abelism is litteraly fucking everywhere when you look for, or when you have no choice but to notice it as a disabled person.

#i made a friend at college who’s physically abled #and while they already hated anti-homeless architecture #being friends with me as someone who needs to rest a lot made them so much more aware of how inaccessible our campus is #like trying to find ramps so i don’t have to risk tripping up stairs #or the horrific creepy elevators #they’re doing an interesting project on putting more benches around campus for their oral communication class!
