Disabled people one of the most helpful skills is becoming as emotionally intelligent as possible and only spending time with others who are emotionally intelligent. That way your own pain, in-access, emotions will not be taken personally by those around you and used against you.
Please keep in mind there’s a very big difference between being sick and being burnt out from working and socializing as an able bodied person. I’m trying to do what you all are doing with a broken vessel.
I can only date people who can carry me plus my wheelchair around :/ otherwise we’d just be pretty much stuck at my tiny apartment and the handful of places I can get into.
Disabled people who can’t pass get judged by everything we do so much harsher than everyone else. People don’t realize they’re simply uncomfortable with their own ableism.
Why is it that asking for clarification or proposing a different perspective is often seen as combative or confrontational?
Ableds please don’t say “Awww” when I pass you in my wheelchair. Holy sh*t. I expect better of the lesbian community honestly why are y’all so ableist??
How is everyone in the US just carrying on as normal when things are getting more depressing each day?
Any accessible temp sublets in LA you’ve heard of? Have 6 days to move out then effectively homeless. Not because I don’t have rent money but bc nothing is affordable and accessible.
It’s really weird that before asking if a disabled person young or old has all their needs met, funds, access to care, to physically helpful community, medical treatment, working mobility aids, accessible housing, autonomy… the disability community would invalidate their anger.
These enforced social norms that are against anger and valid emotions keep us from being able to come together and enact positive change. Because some think we should be happy to experience the dehumanizing reality of disability.
Righteous anger is not allowed in the disability community if you fight against unfair treatment/are mad about the daily abuse, neglect, inaccess you’re seen as ableist. So bizarre.
Nearly every interaction while flying is a micro aggression. Flight attendant tried to tell me I had too many items on board. Wanted to argue that I can either have a carry on tote or the pieces of my wheelchair that need to be stowed overhead. Every moment is dehumanizing.
Imagine in every interaction you pay the same or more money for having a much worse experience, not being able to participate, and even being discriminated against. Welcome to using a wheelchair.
Best part of being a paraplegic and using a wheelchair is you can virtually do drugs anywhere and people don’t notice/care as many automatically think you’re mentally disabled too. Use ableism to your advantage.
I’m at the airport and I cannot understand what anyone is saying on the speaker.
