Disability Body Positivity

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.

HAPPY NATIONAL DAY OF LESBIANS

Happy national day of lesbians y’all. Especially to my fellow non-binary lesbians and trans lesbians. Y’all are so valid and I hope that in the f our community steps up and shows its support to all ou fellow lesbians no matter what. Also to my fellow beloved disabled lesbians having flare ups today or a good day yall are valid too and don’t ever feel less because people don’t understand how you can be a desirable queer person while not be their ideal type of body. We are all beautiful and deserves love from ourselves.

Please help them if you can

Guys, I really, really, can’t stress this enough. my posts haven’t been getting any attention and the people JUST turned off our water today so me and my mom are left without any! We’re both disabled and without food too, so this makes it harder for us to get by unless we pay off our WATER BILL. We need almost all the help we can get because for the past few days, we’ve been doing nothing but struggling! 

I don’t know how much we’d need, but PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE! help us out! I hate having to ask for help, but everything has been going nothing but awful for us! we haven’t ate in 4 days and I’m starving too. ANY donation counts at this point as long as it helps!

Mom’s cash.app is/ $GiveMeMoney77004

we don’t use paypal anymore and this is our only way! My dogs need to eat too as they’ve only had water before it was cut off…

A curious incident of the dog in the night tim

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?

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.

to my friends in red states, please stay safe and watch out for each other. stay inside and avoid going out if you don’t need to. not to stir up fear in the wake of victory, but there are numerous watchdog organizations warning people — especially black and trans folks — to expect a sharp uptick in violence and tension. the naacp has issued a warning to black people in missouri to STAY INSIDE, STAY TOGETHER, STAY SAFE. check on your friends. stay informed. if you aren’t following them already, check out the naacp website and watchdog organizations to keep an eye on things in your area.

to white folks, this is a time for you to celebrate as well, but things are far from over. reach out to your poc and trans friends, particularly your black and trans friends, and check on them and make sure they feel safe. DO NOT STOP DONATING TO PAYPALS AND GOFUNDMES. CONTINUE SHARING RESOURCES AND INFORMATION. CONTINUE PARTICIPATING IN COMMUNITY AID. electing biden did not simultaneously wipe out the issues many marginalized communities are facing. YOUR PART IN THIS IS NOT OVER BECAUSE THIS FIGHT IS NOT OVER. continue spreading

to succinctly sum up the energy we need to cultivate going forward:

you can reblog this. white people can and should reblog this. likes do nothing for us.

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

Reblog and put in the tags how you would die if your URL predicted your death

I just discovered the bigger text setting and I’m sorry to all my fellow visually impaired people for not being able to read my posts sooner. This is great I can actually read my own posts sorta.

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.
