I Felt The Urge To Make Some Positive Artwork And I Was In The Mood For Drawing Something Butterfly Related.

It’s May, which means it’s Ehlers Danlos Syndrome Awareness Month!

Since it’s massively underdiagnosed, I figured this would be a great occasion to share some of my favorite infographics about this condition. (And for any of you who have been wondering why my personal posts here are basically all about medical mishaps and weird injuries: it’s because of hEDS and comorbidities.)

To any of my fellow zebras out there, we will make it through this!

do y'all remember when they found all that tf art in Osamu Tezuka's drawer post-mortem because I think about it often

anyway keep chasing your bliss and draw weird shit, god knows we need that right now

The fact I didn’t realize this was a trans metaphor and I just accepted this as an average tumblr post.

I love this website.

hey wait! i know you! we used to be chained next to each other in the cave! wow, so good to see you, how are ya? man. remember how we used to talk about the shadows on the wall together. gosh that was a long time ago. but hey. sure is one heck of a sun out here, right? it's good to see you.

a writing competition i was going to participate in again this year has announced that they now allow AI generated content to be submitted

their reasoning being that "we couldn't ban it even if we wanted to, every writer already uses it anyway"

"Every writer"?

come on

I was wanting to make a post about my experiences going on a Disney World vacation as a disabled person but honestly I’d like to vent about something else.

If you are traveling to anywhere, and you have someone in your party with disabilities, you need to be as accommodating as possible. If you and that person may have different needs that conflict, you two have to discuss this and figure it out.

My brother has ADHD and probably several undiagnosed issues as well. I have Autism. Tourettes, Epilepsy, and FND alongside several mental health issues.

I get it. I wanted him to be able to enjoy his trip too. Issue is, I have higher support needs, and I sometimes can put myself at risk for a medical emergency if I am overwhelmed. Our family ended up prioritizing me because of this.

The issue arises when my brother ends up getting jealous because I happen to require more attention to ensure I am safe and able to enjoy myself. Also he just is… not understanding? He says I act like I’m “SPED” whenever I bother him. Though this can sometimes result in my brother feeling like everything gets centered around me or that I’m too demanding. He’s even told me he thinks I’m exaggerating how I react when overstimulated because I’m unable to mask well. He also did some other things that eventually would trigger me into having more anxiety and being at risk for issues, such as cursing me out when our other family members weren’t listening. He also accused me of having a victim complex. I was left scared to say anything because he told me that everyone would agree with him if I spoke up. I later learned this was very much not the case.

When we weren’t having conflicts, the trip went smoothly and everyone was very understanding. I was fortunate to get accommodations due to my autism. While I had my moments of overstimulation, I was able to make it through with some fidgets I had on a necklace, as well as a rental ECV to help with my mobility issues.

I’m trying to remain optimistic here, because some parts did go great. However, it’s difficult. Be honest if I do sound like I was being a jerk to my brother. I am guilty of being harsh.

so many leftists have never thought about disability beyond "the ADA is good i guess!". seeing people use language like "brain damaged." "governor hot wheels." protests not being accessible. community gatherings above stairs, in spaces that can't accommodate power chairs, with no language access. i've missed so many #realleftistsonly events because they weren't accessible. and when i see leftists regurgitating the ideas they've seen and heard online and in real life without critically questioning *why* this is believed or *why* they're using this language, they lose so much of their credibility. you aren't a #realleftist if you spread ableist language and ideas without thinking about it.

tumblr: constantly be aware of your own privilege. constantly be aware of your capacity of be evil. hey i know you really like that new piece of media but make sure you're aware of all of the problematic elements all the time. hey i noticed you reblogged a post from a designated Bad Person so please make sure you do a thorough background check on everyone you reblog from to make sure they're not bad, otherwise people might get the wrong idea about you. always be aware of everything bad that's happening in the world all the time because silence is violence. i see you not reblogging this post btw. activist burnout is a privilege so be aware of that. xyz people are required to reblog this post. if you're not constantly fighting against designated Bad People you are inherently complicit and therefore a Bad Person.

people with ocd:

One blessing out my abuse is that whenever I have to be tested for strep, I hardly react to the throat swab, but that’s not as big of a flex as yours lmao

One blessing of my abuse/torture is that I can remain in a squat position for hours on end, gain massive leg muscle and a thic ass

(mob boss voice) so here's the deal, see. you's gonna go home and get a gooood night's sleep, see? and you's gonna have sweet dreams and a reaaal nice rest. reaaal nice. max here will tuck you in *i motion to the thuggish goon behind me and he approaches you with a warm glass of milk held gingerly in his enormous hand*
