So whenever your disability pride flag is shared on tiktok, ive noticed people asking why do disabled people need a pride flag, or saying that we dont deserve one because we are "co opting" the gay pride movement... and i am honestly at a loss at what to say to them
Okay, then: here's some Disability Pride Talking points for you, when you come upon that assumption:
First: The Disability Rights Movement gained steam in the U.S. at the same time as the Civil Rights Movement was advocating for racial equality, and the Women's Rights movement was advocating for gender equality -- all in the same decade as the Stonewall Riots.
Second: it may seem like Disability Pride Month is "copying" Queer Pride Month, because July comes right after June. But the reason we celebrate Disability Pride Month in July is because that's when The Americans with Disabilities Act was signed: on July 26, 1990. This was the first Disabilities Rights act in the world. It was followed in 1995 by the Disabilities Discrimination Act in the U.K., and in 2019 in Canada.
Third: on April 5, 1977, the (American) Nationwide 504 Sit-in (Wikipedia article) began, to protest the fact that three presidents in a row had been stalling for four years to implement Disability Civil Rights legislation. Disability advocates staged sit-ins in Federal Buildings for the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, New York City, Philadelphia, and Seattle, San Fransisco, and Washington D.C..
The sit-in in Washington D.C. lasted 28 hours. The Sit-in in San Fransisco lasted 25 Days, and remains the longest occupation of a Federal Government building in U.S. History (It was epic). The civil rights group The Black Panthers also helped with logistical support.
The police tried to force the people inside to leave by cutting phone lines, forgetting that there were people who knew American Sign Language both inside the building, and outside, in the crowd, and they relayed messages back and forth through the windows (excuse me while I take a Cackle break).
Finally: Disabled people are human beings, and deserve all the human rights as everyone else. But a lot of people in authority, look at our lives from the outside, decide that we already have a low-quality of life (without actually asking us), and deciding that it wouldn't be so bad if we died. You know, at the start of the COVID-19 outbreak in this country, it was a fairly common policy that if hospitals ran low on ventilators, they'd just take them from disabled people who needed to use them every day? Remember that?
That's why we have to get loud.

Lyrics from 'In a week' - Hozier
Uncropped version below + some words
Tumblr media
What was supposed to take a few days went over the span of a month 💀. Partly due to me hitting an art block as soon as I started this piece, followed by me redrawing over and over again cause I wasn't satisfied. I also didn't see much of my laptop leading to an inconsistency with the different panels if you notice. The second panel looks uncompleted but at this point I've had enough.
Regardless I still had fun trying new ways of drawing. I wanted to convey a more gentle and soft feeling as the song feels like. Not sure how successful I was.

That’s how close he gets to you after he grips onto your hair and pulls you off his cock. Spit and cum are dripping down your your chin, mixed with the tears that trailed over your cheeks.
“Did you swallow?” His voice is gruff but still gentle.
You nod, mouth falling open in huffed breaths.
“Open wider” Nanami commands, pulling on your hair.
Your jaw slackens, tongue hanging out to show that your mouth is empty. Nanami watches spit drip off your tongue and onto your ruined lap.
“Good girl” he whispers before spitting into your open mouth. “Keep sucking me off.” He pushes your head back down, fingers tightening in your hair as he feels your lips wrap around him.
