Me Carrying A Stuffed Animal Around While Being Disabled Is Not "infantilizing Disability"

Able bodied people when companies wrap everything in disposable plastics: Oh well 🤷 I guess that's just how it has to be

Able bodied people when a disabled person needs to use disposable medical equipment or pre-prepared food: B-but PLASTIC! You're singlehandedly DESTROYING the environment! This is why we should be allowed eugenics!!!!

This. This on so, so many levels. The stark contrast here alone should be enough to prove why this election was so important and why we're so afraid.

Among other things -broadly gestures-

Something that I've been wondering is like... when Obama or Biden won their terms, did Republicans post a ton of suicide hotline info the same way we are? Because it's a lot right now.

POTS pro tip - if you need to stand up or stay standing and your blood is going to pool in your feet, squeeze all of the muscles in your legs, HARD. It will help keep blood from pooling by forcing your blood vessels to constrict. The Air Force trains their pilots to do it so they don't pass out under high g forces, so it works. If it's not working, try doing it sitting until you feel like you've got the hang of it. If it still doesn't work, at least you tried.

I hate the phrase “I never let my disability stop me” because yeah, I do. I don't push myself to go for a run. I stop myself from committing to a bunch of outings. I let my disability stop me doing things that will cause me pain, endanger me, or worsen my health. I let my disability get in the way of things I am unable to do.

By definition, there are things we can't or shouldn't do. If you think that's not inspiring enough, then fuck you.

people with tooth decay aren't bad people. they aren't lazy either. neither are they unclean or irresponsible. tooth decay doesn't make you a bad person. you don't deserve mockery, judgement, or tooth pain for having any. the only thing people with tooth decay deserve is healthcare.

sometimes when I answer poll questions or other stuffs, I view it from an idealised, able bodied version of myself. it's how I assert to myself my will and values separate from being a cripple. refusing to even engage with questions about the world becos I'm seriously disabled would make my world that much smaller. I can't escape the material reality of my physical limitations when it comes to real material matters, but in the realm of possibility, when we engage with hypotheticals and explore new ideas, it's freeing to explore what I would do if I were still able bodied. I think that might be part of why I love RP so much
