If Invulnerable Means I Dont Feel The Affects Of My Chronic Illnesses, Then I Would Probably Do Something

absentmindedly doodling. i always have a nostalgic soft spot for the season 1 dynamics in winx club.

i hate how people don’t understand the difference between having no motivation, and having the motivation but being physically UNABLE to do it.

trust me when i say i wish i was not ill and could just “go get a job.”

update i went to the beach that day it was fate

i miss the beach so much

I'm saving up for a bath seat and a wheelie tray that can be used in bed or on the couch... I know most of you are in a very similar financial position to me but if anyone out there has a few $ to spare, I'd really appreciate the help ✌️

Taking care of the disabled and injured is human nature actually. We have evidence of our ancestors caring for folks with disabilities. We're a cooperative species that takes care of their own. If our starving, weary, and hunted ancestors could care for the disabled members of their tribe, in this era of modern medicine and abundant resources we absolutely can afford to do the same.

hey all, originally this post used the term “deformed” and some people who were born with illnesses that have caused them to look different have asked me and other people to not use that word unless they have an illness that causes such. completely valid so i changed it.

i was not born with an illness that did that, however i have many medical issues that have lead to my body looking different to those around me. i do not know whether that makes me “valid” in using that term and i dont feel comfortable sharing my medical history to try and “prove” as such. so i will no longer be using that term online.

i also want to point out the OR in the first sentence of this post. i am bringing up two different occurrences here, and expanding on the disabled one.

love and kindness i am not offended by any of this 🩷

being unattractive or physically different/disabled DOES NOT equal being morally bad/evil. there is an atrocious amount of ableism that occurs when someone doesn’t look “normal.” and i am so fucking sick of it.

in media it is (almost) always the villains who are different/disabled. and media is a massive part of how people form their world views.

i want to mention arcane for example, because people seem to be confused about what good representation is. people praise the hell out of that show, and for good reason it has great things about it, but people told me it had good disabled representation. so i watched it. and while parts of the disabled representation is good.. almost all physically different/disabled characters are portrayed as bad/evil/villains at some point in their story (or all of it.) and then by the end of the show most of them are dead.

abled people i need you to understand that is not good representation. please look out for these tropes it happens ALL the time.

good representation includes different/disabled characters who are heroes and morally “good” too.

if you make all your villains physically different and none of them are heroes i hate you. i am so sick of this.

like I’m sorry but I really don’t give that much of a shit about the love triangle I’d have really liked it if we got idk. any real Big Picture information about lumon or what cold harbor’s end goal was For lumon. like literally anything else.

I love how sleep advice is all like "make sure you only use your bed for sleep and sex" as if I've got anywhere else to fucking spend my day
