i know the 'is mcdonalds a date' questions making its rounds but i feel kind of insane bc thats never even been a metric for me. a date is just when someone says its a date. i went on a date w someone to smoke in a building w a caved in cieling in the rain, shoplifted from a gas station paranoid as hell to get them a soft pretzel and then we chased a rat around. where is your sense of adventure people

The problem with me is I dress Bass Pro Shops as hell when I'm not dressed to impress, so when I stroll into the antique store asking for deer, they immediately point me to the taxidermy, and I gotta say, "Listen, I love that, but I don't have $300. I need figurines, man. You got any figurines? Please, for the love of all that is good and righteous in this god-forsaken world, grant a poor orphan boy one little deer figurine," and they're always like, "Haha, shopping for the wife, eh?" and I'm like, "Sure, man, my beautiful wife. WHERE'S YOUR DEER FIGURINES?"

I love you tailors, I love you recycling center employees, I love you jewelry repair people, I love you tech repair people. I love you plumbers, I love you electricians. I love you all maintenance workers, who make it so things don't have to be fully replaced when they break.

There are so many ways to contribute to the climate movement.

like. there's going to be times that you're inconvenienced by a disabled person in public. maybe their wheelchair will take up more space than someone without one. maybe one wheelchair user bay could hold three standing people. so what? they have the right to use public spaces. in fact they need to use them as well. no matter how inconvenienced you feel, that's someone's existence. they can't just not exist in public, or stay home forever, or suddenly become abled just for your convenience. they can't give up on living their lives for you

let’s not forget that yeah, sure, disability aids certainly can make you visibly disabled, like mobility aids, AAC, etc.

and some disability aids are more associated with disability than others. a wheelchair or AAC undeniably screams disability, while (non custom) braces are more associated with sports injury even if you use it for disability. even many fidget toys, even though associated with autism and other developmental disorders and/or neurodivergencies, don’t have same association as like, clear medical devices.

disability aids can make you visibly disabled, but being visibly disabled is not limited to having disability aids.

for some people, even if they don’t use any external aid, still very much visibly disabled. and no, don’t just mean like, seen as “just a little weird” or “off,” but fully mean “there is something (medically) wrong with them,” because the two have different connotations. (although yes, it not strict binary, and yes, the “there is something wrong with you” group can still face very disability ignorant people who think do you thing on purpose, and yes, race gender sex often intersect and complicate these).

i focus on I/DD on here. some people are visibly I/DD. either by the way they look, act, or move. think visibly autistic people who cannot mask. think some people with down syndrome with a distinct facial feature. and many other genetic syndromes. some people with cerebral palsy walking/moving through space. some people with tourette’s & tic disorders.

but people can be visibly disabled without aid because of things that not I/DD. am less knowledgeable about these so don’t want to speak things wrong.

for some, can switch between visibly or invisibly disabled by bringing your disability aid or leaving it at home. others can’t, either because they are still visibly disabled without aid, and or they literally cannot physically survive without said aid (like full time wheelchair users who can’t move without it, people who need oxygen 24/7), and or they can’t remove said aid (like if you have permanent trach or a long term feeding tube), etc.

think in disability community, when talk about visibly disabled, often only hear about cane users and ambulatory wheelchair users who otherwise look like they have “normative” body. but often visibly disabled experiences extend beyond that.

#yeah. I am. visibly disabled #and have been to an extent even before had to use cane or chair #body looks off. sloped. movements are weird. speech a little odd. stop talking and can't restart for a while #I'm crooked and make jagged movements #periodic had limp #now I use chair and cane when not. use obvious hand wraps if hands bad #I'm 'visibly disabled' with aids but body already Looks disabled #sorry noises so talking choppy and hard to think string together words right
