hey did y’all know that the SSI $2000 asset limit hasn’t been increased since 1989? [pt: 1989?]
$2000 in 1989 is almost $5500 in 2026.
i hate the way fat antagonists have their weight moralized and used as a metaphor for greed and corruption and i hate the way it's overcorrected into fat people being "soft squishy friend-shaped cupcakes who look like they give incredible hugs" and i long for the day we have nuanced, interesting, and complicated fat characters and most of all i long for the day people are normal about fatness
[looking at people younger than me] you have your whole life ahead of you [looking at people older than me] you have your whole life ahead of you [looking at myself] its over
Here’s your 1,000mg prescription of reassurance
me: im disabled and have limits
the smartest most intelligent guy in the world with the most hugest dick ever like so big, like the biggest dick ever, man and also soooo intelligent and thoughtful and just so so intelligent: have you tried pushing yourself?

"But we need to talk about how you shouldn't get to be lazy-" No we don't actually. Not when so many millions of disabled people are facing medical neglect, poverty, discrimination and abuse in the name of "defeating laziness"
We like to joke about trying to get a good grade in therapy, but that is actually what you have to do to escape from psychiatric internment. Food for thought
chronic illness is so draining. every problem becomes two problems: the original problem and the flare. every good thing is also bad: the excitement causes a flare too. the only way to feel somewhat better physically is to be bored out of my mind.
ive learned not to react to pains that literally feel like someone is stabbing me idk why people think there's no way i could possibly talk and move while in level 10 pain
when someone is having a difficult time, usually we say things like "let me know if there is anything i can do to help," which is well meaning, but it puts the burden on the person struggling to 1.) figure out what would help them and 2.) articulate a request for it.
usually i try instead to give people some menu options: "would it help if i ordered some food delivery to you? would you like some goofy distractions in the form of animal photos? do you need me to run interference with other folks so you can get some peace and quiet?" etc.
this comes up a lot at my church, because we always try to show up for people who need us, oftentimes during an illness or after a surgery. but again, it's hard to know what would be best. for some people, having food brought over is really helpful, but other people prefer to eat what they know they like and don't want to fuck around with fridge space for your random casserole. some people want lots of company and presence, while others would prefer to be given space and just welcomed back when they're ready. and it's hard to know what's right!
all this to say, it is such a huge gift to yourself AND your community when you can help people understand how to support you.
recently we had a woman at my church who had major hip surgery, and she emailed to ask me if the kids could make some decorations for her walker, because she'd need to use one for a while and they are "boring and ugly."
now, a lot of people at my church use mobility aids, and i would guess that for most of them, having a bunch of kid-crafted stuff stuck onto their cane or walker would not be too helpful. so i have never coordinated a "decorate their walker" activity.
but this lady is engaged with our children's ministry and very into fiber arts, and she sent me a very sweet email with the idea. yesterday the kids and i used bright fabric, ribbons, and beads to make fun walker decorations, and she really enjoyed them.
just the act of her speaking up and saying hey, here is a specific thing you can do that would make me feel better meant that our kids were able to have a meaningful hands-on experience of showing love and care to a member of our community AND she got something that helped in her recovery - it was such a blessing all around.
if you are someone who struggles to ask for help/support, please take this as a Sign to try spending some energy preparing a 'request menu' for yourself and thinking about who you could ask. truly, it is a gift to others when you let them care for you!
some ideas: come over and clean out my fridge; send me hilarious youtube videos; bring or send over some specific groceries; give me space to not feel guilty about not answering your texts and just wait for me to reach back out; mail me a physical card i can open; send me a fanfic you think i'd like; organize an evening to play jackbox or other games with friends; keep me company while i do laundry; call the pharmacy for me to see what i need to do about my prescription; go through the pile of mail on my table; help me schedule a doctor's appointment; etc.
since ppl are raising awareness about hearing loss, id like to add that tinnitus is not a karmic punishment for carelessness, and can be caused by several different overlapping things. do not moralize your health or u will die. message to myself, mostly.
it's ironic that ableds love using disabled people for inspiration porn but hate actually giving the vast majority of disabled people the tools and accommodation to facilitate disabled people doing more with their time. it's almost like the point of it isn't to inspire but to create a false narrative that disability can be overcome with strength of will because look at these people who did it! now stop asking for help
I think we need more meme images like this
got on tumblr to see Lord Apollo reminding me to take my meds😭😭
I love your agreeable and amenable and flexible nature and how none of your wants and needs ever get priority and how nobody even knows what they are to begin with and how you never start or engage in conflicts and never express even mildly unsavory opinions and get along with everyone from every conceivable group, that’s so trustworthy. hey quick question. do you happen to have an enormous pressurized reservoir of rage and resentment you feel like you can’t ever analyze or express because that would break the rules for the kind of person you are and if so, do you think a lifetime of squashing it down might ever backfire?
