being a disabled environmentalist is hard.
i care so much and i wish i could aim for things like zero waste. but i just cant, doing something like that would be ignoring my health needs.
its quite isolating, because i try to find tips and environmental swaps but often they just arent possible for me to use/do and then i feel guilty for that.
even though i know its not my fault and i cant help it, it just triggers my inner ableism and i blame myself for being this way.
physically disabled people who are also fat deserve mobility aids just as much as physically disabled people who are skinny.
we also deserve to have mobility aids that fit us, we shouldn’t have to settle for ones that don’t meet our needs. whether it’s having a high enough weight limit or being wide enough or being sturdy enough, we deserve that.
it doesn’t even matter whether a person is fat because of their disability/ies or if they’re disabled because they’re fat. that person still deserve good mobility aids that meet their needs.

I painted these way back during the pandemic (hence the hoard of toilet paper and Switch that I wish I had, but they were all sold out) No pandemic now but the chimney smoke from all the neighbors have made the air unbreathable and I'm stuck inside again 😭 cuddling my dog, drinking tea
tending to my fish tank and my plants
ughhh if u say soooo 😔
Annual reminder to my fellow disabled and/or chronically ill folks that the new year doesn't mean you have to set arbitrary goals and reinvent yourself just because everybody else does. You will still be disabled next year and no amount of planning and setting goals will change that. You're already lovely as you are. Don't let society suck you into this shit that is just so unrealistic and toxic even for non disabled people. Take care.
i LOVE lizzies relationships with her parents she loves them so much.

im reading emily wilde’s encyclopaedia of faeries right now and im not sure how i feel about it.
like i like it dont get me wrong. i eat anything up that has fairies of any kind.
but im a very.. emotional person, and so the format of the book being emily’s diary, and her being quite a.. professional and almost stoic? person, doesnt quite engage me as much.
maybe she taps into her emotions later in the story (i’m about a 1/3 of the way through) so idk!! thats just my thoughts so far
Autism Speaks Canada is "concluding its operations" on January 31st 2025!
comfort items are important. whatever that means for you, do it.
me carrying a stuffed animal around while being disabled is not "infantilizing disability"
I am an actually disabled person who carries a stuffed animal as comfort bc disability is hard
what's "infantilizing disability" is assuming that just bc I carry a stuffed animal I'm not capable of making decisions for myself. or that having a stuffed animal makes me a less serious, adult person than you are.
IS THAT AN EXPENSIVE SOUND 😭😭😭😭
Just random stuff I find annoying
