i just gotta have my weekly “i am frustrated w employed people” moment. because i just feel so isolated in every conversation, i feel envious of their income and ability to live an independent life and buy things. if thats u I truly do need you to recognize and be conscientious of the fact that even though there is much wrong with the environment and expectations of employment, still that it is a privilege to be able to participate in it, because it means you at least have that base level of worth to society so that you can participate in it as designed. ppl like me cannot.

Seeing a rich white privileged billionaire use asylums as a fucking aesthetic in their music video. And writing lyrics about being "raised in an asylum" yet they were raised on fucking Christmas tree farm with everything given to them on a silver fucking platter. It might all be my villain origin story.
I'm going to become the "insane" person they warned you about.

I really used to love your blog, but you are being incredibly hostile to people who want to learn and you are assuming people mean to be malicious. As a disabled person, I totally get it. In a sense, pretty much anything that isn't a specifically disabled space (and even sometimes those as well) ARE hostile to disabled people and create tons of barriers that make it difficult just to survive and exist. I understand your frustration, I understand that it is something you desperately need to express. But at some point, it becomes better for you to let the opinions of others go or to try and shift your mindset that not everyone is out to attack you. By all means, block whoever you want to block, express yourself however you want to express yourself. But as a fellow disabled person, I no longer can relate to or find comfort in your posts. Most of which as of lately are FILLED with hostility and are incredibly defensive (which again, I TOTALLY understand.) I only send this ask to wish the best for you. I hope that you can find some place that feels safe, some place and people who accommodate and take care of you. I hope that you can believe in a future where people truly want to help and learn. And I hope that the hate in your heart does not continue to grow. Hating the world does not keep you safe from it. You do not need to bring hostility to the world, the way it seems to do for you. I wish for you to feel safe enough to have an open heart and find happiness as a disabled person.
Hey. I just want you to know that I don’t care like not even slightly. Please unfollow me, in fact block me. I have no patience for this manipulative bullshit.
I’m going to die some day (probably sooner rather than later) and I don’t exist to suck your toes and jack you off while you constantly question my humanity and my right to have the most basic human comforts
Maybe you should work on why you see other disabled human beings (who have feelings, btw!) as living Wikipedia pages who should calmly and joyously educate you while you say stupid shit to them, repeatedly, and without a single care about how it makes them feel.
I know you thought it would be, but my self worth is not located in the approval of random people who don’t even have the balls to come off anon and talk to me.
Farewell, bucko.

Hey could some of my followers do me a huge favour and report this TikTok? It is specifically made targeting me and my server and spreading lies and generally just being. Horrendous. The owner of the account, Aspen, got banned from my server not for “saying hi” but for being who they are and encouraging what they do. As you can see in this ban log and ticket, we banned them for allowing our blacklist to be posted in their server and made fun of. all of the blacklist is either common triggers or staff specific ones, and they proceeded to make fun of not only my own but many of my friends triggers. Frankly if they just DMd me and asked why it was a trigger I’d be happy to traumadump since they apparently wanna hear about it so bad but… alas. They decided to just be a dick instead.

“ I actually do not” my ass. Here’s them making fun of it!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
They also call us a Syscord. We aren’t even a system discord. We just happen to HAVE a lot of systems. First and foremost our server is a fan server for my content, that is all.
They also have done some other horrendous behaviour like say the boycotts are bullshit and just blatantly being shitty about psychotic triggers
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
Overall, they just fucking suck! They do all of this under the guise of being “pro recovery” while actively making fun of peoples triggers. Exposure therapy is meant to be done with a therapist, and spoilering shit in our own discord is not “anti recovery”.
Overall aspen is a fucking garbage person and I think you should avoid them and their content but that’s not the point of the post. If possible I’d like you to just report their TikTok [here] and otherwise not engage with them lest you also be a target.

The moment you start throwing around a slur as a genuine insult you are no longer reclaiming it. Reclaiming a word involves referring to yourself with it in a positive manner, using it to spread community and trying to remove the feelings of shame around it. If you are using it as an insult you are not fucking reclaiming it, you are just using a slur.

I get that some of you just think it's cute to have Bart Allen being uncharacteristically ignorant and naive about mature themes (even swearing) to the point of making him infantile, and you are genuinely not intending to be ableist, and are not intending to perpetuate that neurodiverse characters are infantile or participate in widespread ableist commentary surrounding people who are neurodiverse - but it is ableism.
It's not cute, it does nothing for anyone, you do not need to do this to prop up a ship that is already sailing, and there is no basis for this in ANY canon.

Because of the stigma attached to being a narcissist, psychopath, or sociopath, many of them avoid being diagnosed or never tell anyone about it.
Usually, the only time anyone ever gets diagnosed is after they committed a heinous crime.
This only leads to more stigma.

Weve gotta choose a social issue in business and figure out a way for technology to solve it
Im doing ableism (specifically towards people with mental disorders)
I cant figure out how to solve it with technology, any of the root causes. the ones that ive thought of (as in for root causes) are;
inadequate education/awareness
lack of accomodations (like mental health days)
demonisation of certain ones (like BPD, DID, NPD)
harmful stereotypes
use of terminology like 'narcs' about self entitled people, delulu about people who believe not true stuff (aka disillusioned), 'the intrusive thoughts won' in regards to impulsive thoughts (let me know more if you can think of them)
If anyone can think of more things that can cause ableism, please let me know

If you read "loudly" "noticeably" or "visibly" mentally ill and assume that equals being a problem for other people...
Then you're part of the problem
Unless you're mentally ill and struggling to get treatment you don't realise how much support is determined by how much you are a problem for other people
I have hallucinations and delusions but because they don't cause problems for other people I get told they aren't a problem and get no support from mental health services for it
Doesn't matter that it's scaring or upsetting me or causing me to hurt myself as long as I'm not making a problem for other people
Our treatment is not about us it's about making us more palatable for others and that means us being noticeably mentally ill even if we are no risk to anyone else or causing any harm in anyway is considered "bad"
And I'm fucking sick of it
I show distress in public and have a panic attack or meltdown and cause a scene - that's a problem even though I'm not hurting anyone and am just communicating my distress. Because it's bothering others
But quietly think I'm chosen by god to suffer for humanity which causes me to not talk about my pain and be secretive about any harm I cause to myself because telling people is a sin? - that's not a "real" delusion or problem because I didn't upset anyone else during my episode because I didn't tell them those thoughts during it. Even though it's causing me real harm and I want help to stop it from happening again
Do you see how fucked up that is?

Me: Using disabilities and symptoms of disabilities as insults or as setup and punchline to jokes is ableist.
My Comments: You can't say that because you don't have every disability ever, which means you are speaking over other disabled people. Also, you can't say that about the disabilities that you have because I assume people without your disabilities disagree with you. And I would know as I smelled a disabled person just like you once. This means that my non-argument proves that I am better than you. Checkmate, snowflake.

Hi, sorry for bothering you. Could you explain the "grippy socks" phenomenon thing? I have tried looking it up but the only thing I found were actual socks so I think I'm missing some context.
It's an online term that refers to the type of socks they give you in psychiatric hospitals (with the rubbery bottoms to prevent slipping on the hard floors). This goes over the origin of this as a meme:
But with that has come plenty of sanist memes as the socks are a visual representation of people who have been in psychiatric facilities, and will use "grippy socks" and terms like "crazy" interchangeably. People also try to make it cute sounding by calling a stay at a psych ward a "grippy sock vacation", belittling what the experience is actually like for a lot of people. The meme has also been used to restate the old, misogynistic "joke" that "crazy girls are better at sex" with the new saying "grippy socks, grippy box" (eww). It's also worth noting that a lot of people using this phrase in memes haven't actually been to a psych ward themselves, they use it to describe their mental state like "I'm afraid to be too honest with my therapist, I'm afraid they'll put me in grippy sock jail". Which is a little frustrating as someone who has had psych ward stays, it's weird to see people use it to describe themselves when they haven't actually had to go.

idk who needs to hear this but many high masking autistics don't want to be told they're good at masking or "no one can tell ur autistic" as a compliment bc it reinforces the need to mask in order to be accepted socially (of course there are exceptions to this and not all autistics will agree)
growing up i was told so many times "u do a great job at appearing 'normal'" and let me tell u that made me feel incredibly insecure of unmasking in public (i have also been told "ur autism is showing" as a way for someone to tell me that i should 'put the mask back on', which is also very hurtful)
to this day im scared that ppl will not like me if im more "visibly autistic" so i oftentimes mask more than i'd like (which leads to difficulty forming real connections as well as burn out and anxiety)
(it's also ableist to say that not seeming autistic is a good thing bc that implies that autism is an insult or something to be ashamed of)

Oh yeah make sure neglected people get love until that neglected person is a fucking narcissist. Cause all narcissists are bad. Everything I do is intentionally manipulative or maybe they'll say I'm not actually a narcissist and are just confused or supporting them cause I've been made to feel guilty. I've been on both sides. People will believe I'm a narcissist and so therefore I'm abusive or people will not believe I'm a narcissist cause I'm too nice and just getting caught up in narcissists manipulating me to support them.
I hate the idea that my self image is not by my choice. I will always be what OTHERS perceive me as. I have always been that and it will continue to be that. People will either see someone that can't do any wrong or someone that can only do wrong. Like stfu I am a person! I can do good and bad! I have a past of being toxic and harmful esp as a teenager cause I was a fucking mentally fucked teen still in an abusive situation.
I just. I dunno. Im waiting on food so I'm very like just ranty about everything and anything. But like. Stfu. Stfu stfu stfu stfu stfu. If anyone else is needy and needs attention or reassurance then it's fine. But I have had it demonized since my fucking childhood and had my fucking meltdowns demonized as being intentionally manipulative!!! I WAS A FIVE YEAR OLD AUTISTIC CHILD STFU!!!!!
And people praising empathy as being good piss me off. Cause you know what else can also have hypoempathy? AUTISM. Low empathy is not just an "evil" personality disorder thing. Anyone can be anywhere on the scale of empathy. And it doesn't fucking matter. And anyone can be capable of good or bad. It has literally nothing to do with narcissism or any disorder.
Like wtf are anti narcissists gonna fucking do when they realize theyve done harm??? Cause you know what being someone believing in narc abuse did to me?! It made me believe that i was justified as a victim of narcissists so therefore I couldn't be wrong in my trauma responses.
Yeah. Accepting im a narcissist did way more for helping my relationships by allowing me to understand and communicate my needs than believing in narc abuse and calling my parents narcissists ever fucking did. Wtf are they gonna do when they're told about the harm they've done??? Not even related to narc abuse. I would have horrible episodes and defended myself cause I wasn't like my abusive "narcissistic" parents. And all it did was lead to more fights and more episodes and my friend couldn't help cause they were dealing with trauma responses too (people pleasing, believing it was okay what I did or that she deserved it even when I told her not to say or believe that, it's a very lengthy explanation required thing.)
Anyone and everyone is capable of good and bad and is capable of harming others. Whether it's full on abuse, even worse things, or just being insensitive and thoughtless. Focusing so much on the big bad narcissists will only continue to focus on this "us vs them" mentality that completely negates any sort of nuance and ignores the fact that harmful people, abusers, and even the worst of humanity is ALLOWED by society. It isn't a prevalence of narcissists, it is fucking bigotry. And it is everywhere. And it allows abuse to be normalized.
Big list of things I been thinking on. Fuck fuck fuck. I'm already fucking stressed and my parents won't stfu so I can think and type. Disorganized speech, semiverbal, can't thinky think.

Hate the underlying abelism that fans have towards Scar. As a physically disabled fan it's just like. Ew. I started seeing more hate for secret life after Scar won. And he gets death threats a lot (same goes with the misogyny but that talked about A LOT). Grian has to remind everyone everytime (even in hermitcraft. Yeah. The PG kid-aimed sever) not to send death threats to the other side. And that side is often Scar.
Also, ppl just straight up refuse to learn how to draw mobility aids (especially Wheelchairs). Apparently its not 'realistic enough' to be in the life series. But a guy about 2'0 with parrot wings is. Okay.
