Getting The Cancer Response Is Particularly Funny For Me.

getting the cancer response is particularly funny for me.

i had cancer. thats what made me chronically ill.

telling people that seems to blow their minds.

theyre like no but cancer is the worst and you dont have that now but you had it before so youve had both cancer and being chronically ill but like cancer is worse and-

they dont know what to do with that. they tried to make a smart comment and it failed miserably. its funny to me. (i have to laugh or ill cry)

Telling a chronically ill person "at least its not cancer"

Or someone who's disabled due to a tragic accident "it could've been worse it could've disabled you more"

Or anything along the lines of "you could be dead or more disabled be greatful" I hope you rot in a hole where everyone you ever loved forgets you ever existed and you have to sit with that like in coco where you disappear when you're forgotten because that is so insanely rude and even more disgusting and if you don't know how to talk about disabilities without trying to "look on the bright side" or try and cheer people up about it maybe you shouldn't talk about them because some disabilities just are and they're always going to be and there's nothing anyone can do about it

And if someone is dying from their condition but its taking years instead of being fast like tv and stuff portrays it pls for the love of God don't tell them they "aren't dying fast enough" or "weren't you dying last year"

This post is specifically in reference to all the horrible comments able bodied people leave on disabled ppls social media's where the person shares their experiences

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.

im down

Adult winx club fans should just find a place of completely forgotten land, pay for it together and build a bunch of tiny houses that are exact replicas of the dorm rooms in Winx Club and have parties and fashion shows and also maybe start a band or something

oh my god i had no idea these were a thing maybe i could bake again 😭😭😭

If you're ambulatory and struggle standing to cook, consider a "perching stool" for the kitchen. They're made to make cooking safer and easier for disabled people and there's a lot of different kinds. I wish I had known about these when I could still stand.

THIS IS GENIUS WHY HAVE I NEVER DONE THIS

slay ty to ur partner for accidental allyship

People who spend a lot of time in/on bed, I have a recommendation for you... Go to some big and cheap store like Kmart and get yourself a kids activities tray!

My partner got this for doing crafts on the couch but we've repurposed it to be a writing surface for my bed-rot days. It's not perfect (I'd prefer a surface a bit higher, and it squishes these thicc thighs a bit) but it's a pretty good stop-gap for $10-20

discovering the trend of “dopamine” dressing/decorating was so hilarious to me…

whats the point of doing life any other way??? are people really wearing clothes that dont make them happy?? and decorating their house in a way that doesnt brighten their day?? 😭😭

i was so confused like have i completely misunderstood society. no wonder people call me eccentric and weird.

i just assumed the things that make me happy were different to what makes others happy, not that they just.. were completely not having that as their goal in the first place.

pls surround yourself with things that make life sparkle guys i beg of u its the best way to live

I hate how often some (typically abled) people will go “well, if you can’t [get a specific support], then what?” when it comes to disabilities. As if it’s a “gotcha” moment. And then act like you’re exaggerating when you answer that question honestly.

Disabled people often die from a lack of support. A lot of disability aids are not a luxury, but a basic need in order to live.

“Well what happens if—” people die. People hurt themselves. People hurt others. Disabled people don’t magically become abled if our needs aren’t met.

If a bedbound quadriplegic is caught in a housefire, and there’s nobody there to save them, they’ll probably die. They won’t magically become able-bodied out of sheer will.

If a nonspeaking/nonverbal autistic is denied access to alternative methods of communication, they’ll suffer in silence. They won’t spontaneously become capable of speech.

Disabled people are disabled all the time. Our disabilities don’t go away just because they’re inconvenient, or if we’re in danger.
