Yes I relate to this so much
Disabled people: We're disabled-
Abled person: You mean...DIFFERENTLY ABLED?
No. No, if we say disabled, we mean disabled. Most of us hate the whole "differently abled" thing. If someone likes or prefers it, that's fine, but don't blanket assume we are or refer to us collectively as such. Disabled is not a dirty word.
What about my right to participate my future significant others health and life is ‘Novel’ what this man takes as a privledge he sees as a right for himself and if this isn’t some crazy hypocritical bull shit I don’t know what is. They’re really coming for our rights just because they hate us. They don’t care about freedom of religion they just hate us. People’s opinions on my marriage shouldn’t be more important than my marriag. What are they going to do? Invalidate marriage certificates in states that don’t choose to keep same sex marriage legal? This is beyond insane
stop looking at disabilities through ableist lenses. if you have problems with your legs or feet but don’t use a wheelchair, you’re still disabled and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. mental illness? disabled. you don’t have to look or behave a certain way in the eyes of others to be disabled. you might not think you’re disabled, but the definition is:
“(of a person) having a physical or mental condition that limits movements, senses, or activities.”
Disability body positivity
Am I the only one who gets a little annoyed with the body positivity phrases ‘You are not your body’? Like yes I am my body. My body dictates everything I do and everywhere I go and how I experience life. Its ok that I have these problems and I’ll love my body anyway but I want people to stop telling me that I can love myself in spite of my body. I am my disabilities they define me but its ok to love and celebrate my disabilities. I know this is something abled people probably don’t think about too much but it feels patronizing.
I’ve seen a lot of posts on my dash tonight about users who are threatening suicide, with other Tumblr members posting in effort to try to get ahold of them. I think you all should see this:
IF THERE IS EVER A TUMBLR USER WHO HAS POSTED A GOOD-BYE MESSAGE, SUICIDE NOTE, VIDEO, OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS POST.
1. Scroll to the top of your dashboard.
2. See the circular question mark icon at the top? It’s the third one over from your home symbol. Click on that, and a screen similar to the one in the picture will come up.
3. Where you can type in questions, the box with the magnifying glass at the top, type in the word “suicide.”
4. Click on the first link that shows up. It should say, “Pass the URL of the blog on to us.”
5. Type in the user’s URL and tell Tumblr admin that the user is contemplating suicide and has posted a message indicating that they are going through with it or will be attempting. Hit send! Tumblr administration will perform a number of actions to contact the user and take the necessary steps to prevent the suicide.
TUMBLR: THIS COULD SAVE A USER’S LIFE. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE SUICIDE THREATS.
Reblog this to keep other users aware. Suicide isn’t a joke, and neither is someone’s life. If you didn’t know this, someone else may not, either. Pass it on.
has anyone noticed that to clean smth u often have to get smth else dirty
massively fucked up
#Fallingdownastaircase.....
Reblog and put in the tags how you would die if your URL predicted your death
This is so important
No, JK Rowling is not just saying "biological sex is real".
She is using debunked pseudoscience to attempt to invalidate the existence and rights of a vulnerable, marginalized group of living, breathing human beings.
She's disgusting. And she knows it, too. If you have the self-awareness to say "People like me are often called TERFs.”, you know you’re shitty. You just don't care.
I don't care how big a fan I was. I cannot in good conscience continue to support her.
I'm done, for good.
My class is doing the play of the aform book. The main character has Autism so I’m concerned about the casting because how can you get accurate rep if you have neurotypicals playing characters who arent. So to all the people who can have valid opinions on this. Is it ableist for them to be playing this show?
