Dr. Robby + Glasses in season 1

It will never cease to irk me when people look at devices and tools made for disability and call it a "scam" just because it doesn't work for them.

Of course, kinesiology tape doesn't work on you if you don't have connective tissue or soft tissue damage. Your body doesn't need help holding itself together. Mines does.

"Posture braces are a scam, you should just exercise more." Okay, what if you can't? What if no matter how much you exercise, your body will always need extra support.

"Foam rollers don't actually do anything, just do exercise." Again, see the above.

"Neck traction devices? Pft, stop being lazy and exercise." Again. See. The. Above. Also, speaking as someone with a severe neck injury, sometimes you need those devices to exercise. And yes, sometimes moving half an inch is considered exercise depending on the nature of your injury and limitations. My current goal in physical therapy is to hold my neck up on my own for longer than ten seconds while lying on my back. It's taken me a year of intensive work to manage it. The traction devices have been a part of this, as recommended by my physical therapist.

"Balance boards, omg what are you, a baby who can't walk?" IN SOME CASES, FUCKING YES.

Like I get it, I get it. You've seen the infomercials and they look goofy, or you just plain cannot think of a situation where you personally might ever need some sort of assistance with your body. But good news! Disability is the only minority group you can become a part of at any moment through sheer bad luck, age, illness or a genetic ticking time bomb hiding in your DNA. May the odds be ever in your favor, and if not, may you encounter kinder people than yourself.

Sometimes I have to remind myself that's it's ok to have days in bed

It's okay to not want to speak because it takes too much energy or hurts too much

It's okay to be upset that you're missing out of things because you're unwell

It's okay to need help

It's okay to accept help

It's okay to let yourself be in pain or exhausted and to stop pushing through things and just rest

It’a so funny when people get upset over being called “able-bodied” because you just know what they’re really upset about is not being called “normal.”

“Why do we have to label everyone?” when what they really mean is, “no, you’re the freak, I’m normal.”

Anyway, you can’t begin to imagine the gasket they blow when you start calling them “temporarily abled.”

“Are you threatening me?”

At this point? Yes.

The most terrifying part of having memory issues is when you can feel something from 5 seconds ago be thrown out the window and there's an empty hole where it once was. You remember that you forgot something.

There is an absolute yawning chasm between "glorifying" something and simply refusing to demonize it.

There’s something so uniquely terrifying about memory issues. I feel like my self is slipping away from me.

[ace-disgrace-on-the-case]

Here’s the thing I feel like a lot of folks don’t get: I’m not trying to forget what you said. Honestly, I really tried not to. I can’t control what I do and don’t remember—forgetting things just happens. It’s annoying for you, I know, but for me it’s distressing as hell and when you make a big deal out of it rather than just reminding me you make me feel ashamed. I’ll remember that, at least.

It costs you nothing to be kind to people with memory problems. Please. It’s scary enough without people treating memory lapses as a personal failing.

Hey, reblog this version instead, please!

happy disability pride month and once again, FUCK lazy subtitles. fuck the [speaks foreign language] instead of actually transcribing the words, fuck shortening sentences and changing whats been said for no reason, fuck censoring swearing in captions but not in audio and fuck anyone who says youre being 'too sensitive' for being upset about a lack of accessibility

[vieramars]

Watching Unsolved Mysteries when a witness is about to give testimony.

Robert Stack tells me that our witness doesn’t want to be identified by name. No problem, totally get it…

Gurl why is your full face and normal voice on my screen right now? You think people close to this case wouldn’t know who you are without your name on the screen?

I hope you’re okay. I can’t look you up to find out if died in a mysterious way because I don’t know your name.

But maybe that was the mystery all along.
