adding on SERVICE ANIMALS! Insurance does not cover them. A few orgs provide them for free, yes, but 1) you have to live in the area they service 2) you still have to pay for travel to and from graduation, and for the upkeep of the dog 3) you have to hope one of these orgs trains the kind of dog you need 4) you have to wait years until you're matched, bc these free programs are the most popular. Money would help immensely.
money is such an underrated accessibility option.
like people want to think any disabled person who is after money is morally suspect some way, because they're not asking for "treatments" or "accommodations" like a lot of our issues can be fixed way more easily with money. can't drive? paying for a taxi is often one of the more accessible alternatives. can't cook? you can pay more to have prepared food delivered to you. food restrictions? that food straight up costs more money. can't clean? you can pay for someone to do that. house inaccessible? having (lots) of money can help with that, you get the gist.
having money won't make us abled. it also won't stop our symptoms from being distressing, painful, or debilitating. but there's a huge gap in experience between the average poor disabled person and someone who's actually wealthy. you can buy your way out of some of the difficult situations most disabled people are left to rot in. wanting money, needing money, asking for money is pretty natural when it's such a useful tool. why get so weird about disabled people wanting money like i'm pretty sure everyone wants money anyway

People against piracy fail to realize that no, I canβt just βbuy it.β They stopped making DVDs and Blu-Rays. Theyβre barely offering digital copies for download. I am not spending money I could use for food or bills to pay for a subscription service just so I can always have access to a beloved piece of media. Especially not when the service will remove media on a whim without concern for how the loss of access to that piece will make its artistic conservation nigh impossible.
For example, I recently learned that Disney+ had an original film called Crater. Itβs scifi, family friendly, and seems cool - I would love to buy it as a holiday gift for my little brother! But: itβs exclusive to D+ and THEY REMOVED IT LITERALLY MONTHS AFTER ITS RELEASE.
The ONLY way I can directly access this film is through piracy. The ONLY available βcopiesβ of this film are hosted on piracy websites. Disney will NEVER release it in theaters, or as something to buy, and it may NEVER return to the streaming service. It will be LOST because we arenβt allowed to purchase it for personal viewing. If I canβt pay to own it, I wonβt pay for the privilege of losing it when corporate decides to put it in a vault.
So yes, Iβm going to pirate and support piracy.
