non autistic people shut the fuck up about elon musk he doesnt deserve to be defended and i hope he dies
like as an autistic person i literally promise you there is countless ways to support us without licking the heels of the literal richest man on the planet who uses child labour and exploits millions of people
also ''aspergers'' isnt real and that hasnt been an official diagnosis for over a decade now and it was only called that in the first place because of a neo nazi eugenicist who sent autistic children to their deaths unless he deemed them ''smart enough'' to get the 'aspergers' label. also "high functioning" and "low functioning" autism isnt real. you are literally just autistic or you are not
non autistic people reblog this actually especially if you think even for a moment about defending the epic racist child labour billionaire lol
How most people with invisible illnesses are treated by health care “professionals”
The Golden Girls didn’t fuck around
pls watch
honestly i really appreciated this scene when I first saw it bc it took me like two years to get a diagnosis for what’s wrong with me
Dorothy: Dr. Budd?
Dr. Budd: Yes?
Dorothy: You probably don’t remember me, but you told me I wasn’t sick. Do you remember? You told me I was just getting old.
Dr. Budd: I’m sorry, I really don’t–
Dorothy: Remember. Maybe you’re getting old. That’s a little joke. Well, I tell you, Dr. Budd, I really am sick. I have chronic fatigue syndrome. That is a real illness. You can check with the Center for Disease Control.
Dr. Budd: Huh. Well, I’m sorry about that.
Dorothy: Well, I’m glad! At least I know I have something.
Dr. Budd: I’m sure. Well, nice seeing you.
Dorothy: Not so fast. There are some things I have to say. There are a lot of things that I have to say. Words can’t express what I have to say. [tearing up] What I went through, what you put me through—I can’t do this in a restaurant.
Dr. Budd: Good!
Dorothy: But I will!
Dr. Budd’s date: Louis, who is this person?
Dr. Budd: Look, Miss–
Dorothy: Sit. I sat for you long enough. Dr. Budd, I came to you sick—sick and scared—and you dismissed me. You didn’t have the answer, and instead of saying “I’m sorry, I don’t know what’s wrong with you,” you made me feel crazy, like I had made it all up. You dismissed me! You made me feel like a child, a fool, a neurotic who was wasting your precious time. Is that your caring profession? Is that healing? No one deserves that kind of treatment, Dr. Budd, no one. I suspect had I been a man, I might have been taken a bit more seriously, and not told to go to a hairdresser.
Dr. Budd: Look, I am not going to sit here anymore–
Dr. Budd’s date: Shut up, Louis.
Dorothy: I don’t know where you doctors lose your humanity, but you lose it. You know, if all of you, at the beginning of your careers, could get very sick and very scared for a while, you’d probably learn more from that than anything else. You’d better start listening to your patients. They need to be heard. They need caring. They need compassion. They need attending to. You know, someday, Dr. Budd, you’re gonna be on the other side of the table, and as angry as I am, and as angry as I always will be, I still wish you a better doctor than you were to me.
Reblogging for any of my mutuals who’ve ever dealt with Dr. Budd.
Golden Girls tackled many issues for women/gays/elderly/minorities in general. And they did it at a time whe no one else was. This is such a great show. If you watch the pilot you see they wanted to have a gay chef. He disappeared after the pilot but it shows you how far they wanted to go at a time when that wasn’t happening. This is a great show. Watch every episode. And then watch them again. I heard a rumor GG was coming to Disney+. I can’t wait to binge again.
yesterday at the mall i decided to borrow a “complimentary wheelchair”, because standing upright had become considerably hard, and if i wanted to keep up with my friends, i needed mobility. this post could become an essay about internalized ableism or a complaint about how the woman at customer service treated us, but then the post would be way too long, an i want to make a specific point.
once i got the wheelchair, i got into it, collapsed my cane, and began a combo of wheeling and scooting myself with my feet to the elevator, so we could go to the food court. the wheelchair was manual, and a shitty one at that, and i have horrible upper body strength, so this was how i could keep up.
my god, the amount of high and mighty people that stared at me as i made my way with my friends. i could practically see them staring intently at my legs, waiting for any sign that i was undeserving of a wheelchair. they would look at my legs, i would stare them in the eyes, they would meet my eyes, and bashfully look away. i began to get embarassed, and exclusively used my arms to wheel myself, not using my legs. so that judging people would not frown at my moving legs. this was painful, and i was painfully slow.
we eventually made it to the food court, and split up. (with a little help from my girlfriend, who, god bless her, wheeled me with my consent over to the burger joint.) i wheeled myself into line, and the amount of people who asked me, looking at my phone, if i needed help, was insane. no! i’m waiting for a burger! and then, inevitably, when i got my meal, no one at the counter was willing to help me assemble all of the things onto a tray to carry back to my friends. i slowly wheeled back to my friends, precariously balancing my burger and shake, while people stepped in front of me to ask if i needed help. no! just move! i got it!
eventually, we travelled back to the help desk to hand back in the wheelchair, and i began the cane walk of shame back to my car. people who had seen my scoot/wheel past, saw me with my cane and gave me dirty looks, and i could feel my cheeks heat up. it was embarrassing and infuriating. i wanted to yell at them and tell them all the gory details of my medical history. i was so mad. but i was in public with my friends, so i kept walking.
the only positive thing that happened, was when i got into the up elevator, a middle aged wheelchair user using the same technique as me in her custom chair scooted out of the elevator, and gave me a thumbs up as i got in, and smiled at me. thinking back on it, it makes me think about how the people who really get it, are the people who are living it. it sounds mean and alienating, but it’s true. i find talking to disabled people about these things so much better than talking to abled people, because i feel like i can be a person, rather than an encyclopedia.
if you read all the way through, thank you, and please give this a reblog.
i’m being serious if you’re not disabled don’t speak over disabled people in the notes FFS
I'm tryna see something for research purposes. You can only choose one of these to eat. Which one you going with?
this’ll probably flop but yknow how we all did that thing as kids where we watched out the window of the moving car and imagined someone running along beside it and jumping over the signs and stuff? tell me what your imaginary guy was !!! mine was a hamster in a ball :)
Not an ask but a lil story.
I’ve been nonbinary for years. Not explicitly out of the closet but I do bind and such publicly. My friends usually use she/they but always stuck to the feminine or genderless titles and nouns. I always thought I just broke out of my shell before it grew too thick.
BUT THEN, a mutual crush surprises me and calls me “pretty boy.” For the first time I was scene as masculine and just WOW. I WAS A FUKING EGG THIS ENTIRE TIME. I had happy tears and rolled around my bed for like an hour.
First of all... IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU! That’s amazing!!!!
Secondly... it’s always the nicknames isn’t it?
I was having “gender feels” but with no real idea of the “what” of it all... so it was mostly neutral terms behind closed doors and masculine ones in group settings so I wasn’t accidentally outed.
But then my partner slipped in a casual “Princess” one day for fun while we were alone and my brain just lit up in a way that it had never done before.
Annnnd I’ve been “Princess” ever since, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
i used to be strictly agender, using they/them, then i realized just how happy i was when people couldn’t figure out my gender in video games and started referring to me as he/him. i guess it’s a situation of a double layered egg?
This is the only vibe ✨
I’ve probably watched this 10 times in a row and that whipcrack sends me every time
This isn’t fandom related, but also yes it IS. Absolutely IMMACULATE energy.
Happy international asexuality day!!! This is actually the first one ever :0

Honestly as a blind person I’m so tired of seeing fictional blind characters who don’t use white canes or other guides. “They have special powers so they know what’s around them” or “they’re confident enough to not need a guide” are common tropes, and I’m tired.
Are people scared that using a white cane will make their blind character seem weak? They can’t use a cane because they’re so special that they already know what’s around them, and other blind people who use guides are inferior because they’re not special?
I’m tired. Give your blind characters white canes and other guides. Let them hold onto their friends, let them have guide dogs. Don’t make white cane users feel ostracized for not being “strong enough” to go without.
Another thing that pisses me off is when a sighted character comes up with the fantasy equivalent of braille and teaches it to the blind character. Braille was invented by Louis Braille, a blind man, in 1824. The blind character should be the one coming up with it.
Tldr I’m blind and tired of sighted people lol
🔪 Sighted People MUST Reblog This 🔪
Hiiiiii I’m OP.
I deleted this post bc I was overwhelmed with all the notes on it and the additions of sighted people saying “is this character good representation though? Have you read so-and-so with this blind character in it, is that okay? LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT MY BLIND OC, ARE THEY OFFENSIVE?” Or saying “well my relative/friend is blind and actually they blah blah blah” as if I’m the authority on blindness now.
And I Was Tired Of That.
I also received MASSIVE amounts of ableism directed at me in my inbox and DMs and the notes of this post (look at all the “you’re blind and sick of seeing? lol” comments, as well as people acting like the knife emojis can hurt them somehow, yes I get it everyone’s a comedian haha). People saw that I was an artist and a writer and hounded me with questions about how I can draw if I can’t see, or how I’m even using the Internet at all as if people are exempt from being part of modern life, someone said “stop taking pictures of your guide dog’s art and posting it as your own” about my art. I had the fact that I’m deafblind written in my bio but I took it out bc I was getting harassed bc of it.
Sometimes I check back on this just to see how popular it’s gotten and I honestly never intended it to reach this far. I still encourage people to reblog it but I could definitely do without all the unnecessary additions, and people coming up to me with questions about how I wrote this in the first place if I’m blind and yadda yadda yadda.
To Answer Your Questions: Daredevil (Matt Murdock) is excellent blind representation. His abilities have clear limits and they do not REPLACE sight. He uses echolocation and other enhanced senses but he still has the challenges faced by blind people because He Is Blind. Same goes for Toph Bei Fong; clear limits to what she can sense, she can’t use her seismic sense on non-earth/non-metal material, she can’t read or write or know what things look like. She just feels the vibrations. I don’t care about homestuck so stop telling me abt it lol. If you write a blind character with powers, absolutely take a page from Daredevil or ATLA— but give them a cane too please! Matt himself uses a cane! It’s not mutually exclusive to have powers and use mobility aids.
TLDR I deleted this originally bc I was sick of dumbasses and ableism but you can still reblog it but keep your comments to yourself or those knife emojis will be a lot more aggressive. I’m tired.
Also consider sending me financial compensation for the ableist harassment and braindead comments ive gotten these past few months, here’s my ko-fi ❤️
If y’all are gonna keep spreading this then reblog THIS version.
Sighted people shut the fuck up in the notes challenge. Stop asking me questions and making your own additions. Reblog the damn post without commentary because I promise you I do not give a shit about your opinions.
SOMEONE PUT IT INTO WORDS
Obviously don’t tell me what they are, but do you like your first, middle, and last names?
