I read Watership Down way too early as a child and I feel like that’s noticeable.

Team “I can hear the near silent hum of electrical appliances and the bubbles fizzing in the can of soda on the coffee table, but can’t watch tv without subtitles and processes conversation at ¼ speed”

i also got conflict avoidant and doesnt take responsibility both of which are true but to a lesser extent also this is the only one i remembered to screenshot hi im a mess

hey yall I didn’t want to have to do work for my online classes so i made a uquiz instead. answer some questions and i’ll tell u what aspect of your personality annoys me the most

im 17, and in the 2 years ive been traveling around from doctor to doctor, i have only been truly listened to about my pain and my experiences with hypermobility and comorbidities maybe three times. thats 3 times, 3 doctors, out of around 13 doctors.

ive been told, to my face, that a mobility aid would probably help with my pain and maybe even my fatigue, but that no one would want to prescribe me one or suggest one, because they "didnt want me to become dependent" and that im young so ill be fine if i just do my exercises.

i take 8 prescriptions just to stay afloat. i am only capable of doing things approximately 3 hours out of the 16 that im technically awake. im not about to do anything crazy anyways, i just want to have less pain.

being young should never be the reason to withhold some form of aid.

There is no age limit on chronic pain. Just because you do not like to think about children being in pain does not mean they do not exist. They deserve to be believed and they deserve access to pain management.

im a taurus and i love azula so much

okay atla fans reblog with your sign and your fav war criminal from the series! i’ll start, libra + ty lee

so can we start hunting down white liberals now or what

Gay Romani People are vital to our community.

Gay Jewish People are vital to our community. Gay, Jewish, and Romani people, particularly disabled women, suffer due to integral parts of their identity. Do not forget them. Opre Roma! Goyim, Gadjo, and non-gay individuals may of course reblog

So whenever your disability pride flag is shared on tiktok, ive noticed people asking why do disabled people need a pride flag, or saying that we dont deserve one because we are "co opting" the gay pride movement... and i am honestly at a loss at what to say to them

Okay, then: here's some Disability Pride Talking points for you, when you come upon that assumption:

First: The Disability Rights Movement gained steam in the U.S. at the same time as the Civil Rights Movement was advocating for racial equality, and the Women's Rights movement was advocating for gender equality -- all in the same decade as the Stonewall Riots.

Second: it may seem like Disability Pride Month is "copying" Queer Pride Month, because July comes right after June. But the reason we celebrate Disability Pride Month in July is because that's when The Americans with Disabilities Act was signed: on July 26, 1990. This was the first Disabilities Rights act in the world. It was followed in 1995 by the Disabilities Discrimination Act in the U.K., and in 2019 in Canada.

Third: on April 5, 1977, the (American) Nationwide 504 Sit-in (Wikipedia article) began, to protest the fact that three presidents in a row had been stalling for four years to implement Disability Civil Rights legislation. Disability advocates staged sit-ins in Federal Buildings for the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, New York City, Philadelphia, and Seattle, San Fransisco, and Washington D.C..

The sit-in in Washington D.C. lasted 28 hours. The Sit-in in San Fransisco lasted 25 Days, and remains the longest occupation of a Federal Government building in U.S. History (It was epic). The civil rights group The Black Panthers also helped with logistical support.

The police tried to force the people inside to leave by cutting phone lines, forgetting that there were people who knew American Sign Language both inside the building, and outside, in the crowd, and they relayed messages back and forth through the windows (excuse me while I take a Cackle break).

Finally: Disabled people are human beings, and deserve all the human rights as everyone else. But a lot of people in authority, look at our lives from the outside, decide that we already have a low-quality of life (without actually asking us), and deciding that it wouldn't be so bad if we died. You know, at the start of the COVID-19 outbreak in this country, it was a fairly common policy that if hospitals ran low on ventilators, they'd just take them from disabled people who needed to use them every day? Remember that?

That's why we have to get loud.

leftist antisemites are really everywhere on this hellsite making & reblogging their posts like “the Jews have too much power and privilege and actually their very recent genocide was not that bad compared to what my group experiences and antisemitism doesn’t even exist in my country and especially not in liberal spaces”
