Yes I relate to this so much
Disabled people: We're disabled-
Abled person: You mean...DIFFERENTLY ABLED?
No. No, if we say disabled, we mean disabled. Most of us hate the whole "differently abled" thing. If someone likes or prefers it, that's fine, but don't blanket assume we are or refer to us collectively as such. Disabled is not a dirty word.
My class is doing the play of the aform book. The main character has Autism so I’m concerned about the casting because how can you get accurate rep if you have neurotypicals playing characters who arent. So to all the people who can have valid opinions on this. Is it ableist for them to be playing this show?
I do not know why my fatigue has to do me wrong. I woke up exhausted and decided that I’d take a quick nap. I accidentally slept for five hours. Like damm that is a lot of time lost can y’all relate?
Please help them if you can
Guys, I really, really, can’t stress this enough. my posts haven’t been getting any attention and the people JUST turned off our water today so me and my mom are left without any! We’re both disabled and without food too, so this makes it harder for us to get by unless we pay off our WATER BILL. We need almost all the help we can get because for the past few days, we’ve been doing nothing but struggling!
I don’t know how much we’d need, but PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE! help us out! I hate having to ask for help, but everything has been going nothing but awful for us! we haven’t ate in 4 days and I’m starving too. ANY donation counts at this point as long as it helps!
Mom’s cash.app is/ $GiveMeMoney77004
we don’t use paypal anymore and this is our only way! My dogs need to eat too as they’ve only had water before it was cut off…
I hate every second of this experience
"yeah don't worry tho I'm doing fine"

Reblog and put in the tags how you would die if your URL predicted your death
I’ve seen a lot of posts on my dash tonight about users who are threatening suicide, with other Tumblr members posting in effort to try to get ahold of them. I think you all should see this:
IF THERE IS EVER A TUMBLR USER WHO HAS POSTED A GOOD-BYE MESSAGE, SUICIDE NOTE, VIDEO, OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS POST.
1. Scroll to the top of your dashboard.
2. See the circular question mark icon at the top? It’s the third one over from your home symbol. Click on that, and a screen similar to the one in the picture will come up.
3. Where you can type in questions, the box with the magnifying glass at the top, type in the word “suicide.”
4. Click on the first link that shows up. It should say, “Pass the URL of the blog on to us.”
5. Type in the user’s URL and tell Tumblr admin that the user is contemplating suicide and has posted a message indicating that they are going through with it or will be attempting. Hit send! Tumblr administration will perform a number of actions to contact the user and take the necessary steps to prevent the suicide.
TUMBLR: THIS COULD SAVE A USER’S LIFE. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE SUICIDE THREATS.
Reblog this to keep other users aware. Suicide isn’t a joke, and neither is someone’s life. If you didn’t know this, someone else may not, either. Pass it on.
to my friends in red states, please stay safe and watch out for each other. stay inside and avoid going out if you don’t need to. not to stir up fear in the wake of victory, but there are numerous watchdog organizations warning people — especially black and trans folks — to expect a sharp uptick in violence and tension. the naacp has issued a warning to black people in missouri to STAY INSIDE, STAY TOGETHER, STAY SAFE. check on your friends. stay informed. if you aren’t following them already, check out the naacp website and watchdog organizations to keep an eye on things in your area.
to white folks, this is a time for you to celebrate as well, but things are far from over. reach out to your poc and trans friends, particularly your black and trans friends, and check on them and make sure they feel safe. DO NOT STOP DONATING TO PAYPALS AND GOFUNDMES. CONTINUE SHARING RESOURCES AND INFORMATION. CONTINUE PARTICIPATING IN COMMUNITY AID. electing biden did not simultaneously wipe out the issues many marginalized communities are facing. YOUR PART IN THIS IS NOT OVER BECAUSE THIS FIGHT IS NOT OVER. continue spreading
to succinctly sum up the energy we need to cultivate going forward:
you can reblog this. white people can and should reblog this. likes do nothing for us.
