I loved this little tweet thread by @NataliaSylv ⁣ ⁣ It hit home in so many ways about the experience of growing up Disabled and how silencing my pain for the sake of others comfort really affected me internally. (Hello #cPTSD)⁣ ⁣ The way we talk to people, especially children, is so important and affects us as we grow. We need to hold space for someone’s pain and allow them to feel it and grieve it instead of celebrating them for being able to withstand the pain without “complaining.” ⁣ ⁣ ID Slide 1 / An illustration by me @tovahsfine of an Asian woman with short pink hair and bangs sitting in her wheelchair. She is wearing a blue sweater and light blue jeans. Her nails are painted purple. There is a Pothos plant hanging from above and the words that read “you silence us for your comfort” are written on the left. ⁣ ⁣ ID Slide 2 / A tweet by @NataliaSylv on top of my illustration that reads “Please: I say this as someone who, as a disabled kid, learned to be silent about my pain & am still trying to unlearn it. don't tell kids you're proud of them for enduring medical procedures w/o "Complaining." Even that word alone implies that us being vocal is a burden on you.”⁣ ⁣ ID Slide 3 / A tweet by @NataliaSylv on top of my illustration that reads “I see this too often for it to be a subtweet. This is a perfect example of how "good intentions" can do so much harm. When non-disabled people call us "brave" & "strong" for what is essentially, us not voicing our very real & valid experiences, you silence us for your comfort.”⁣ ⁣ ID Slide 4 / A tweet by @NataliaSylv on top of my illustration that reads “It's how we internalize that we're a burden. It's how we learn that your comfort takes priority over our pain. Which is another way of saying non-disabled lives matter more.”⁣ ⁣ ID Slide 5 / A G F M request on top of my illustration that is titled “Sun’s accessible home fund” 615 USD raised of 10,000 goal. Link is in my bio to donate. ⁣ ⁣ #DisabilityJustice #DisabledArtist #DisabilityAwareness #DisabilityInclusion #DisabilitySupport #AbleismAwareness #AbleismExists #InternalizedAbleism (at Worldwide) https://www.instagram.com/p/Co7pnDVrRT4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

When we focus on someone’s disability, we often overlook their abilities, beauty, and uniqueness. Once we learn to accept and love them for who they are, we subconsciously learn to love ourselves unconditionally. 💙

On International Day of Disabled Persons, we aim to promote the rights and well-being of persons with disabilities in all spheres of society and development. 💙

Thank You

To all the lovely disabled kindred spirits, activists, and creative peoples, who helped me understand my disability better when doctors did not, who helped me to find my voice in my disability identity, who helped me to heal (still healing) & rise up from ableism, & lastly reminded me that unless the fight for disability liberation is intersectional, the disability community will never truly be free. Without their influence, this book would not exist as is.

(In no order of importance) Shelly Radford, Adam See, Annalisa Rivera, Shadow Lambertis, Ernie Matthews, Dov Zeller, Gregg Beratan, Zev Wagenberg & Arthur Congdon

To the intersectional disability Twitter community, w/ extra thanks to Alice Wong (Author, Creator of Disability Visibility & Co-Organizer #CripTheVote w/ Gregg & Andrew Pulrang), Vilissa Thompson (#DisabilityTooWhite), Dom Evans (#AbleismExists), Lawrence Carter-Long (#SayTheWord), Kendra Scalia (#SaveCDPA & #FairPay4HomeCare), Lizzie Kuhn (my former

PCA & fellow disabled activist-artist), Annie Segarra & Victoria Acuña Pakoti (whose creative activist online content inspires me – but not in an ableist way)

To Kimberlé Crenshaw who coined the term intersectionality, which radically changed my activism. To Audre Lorde who said “Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.” which radically changed the way I viewed self-care, in a time where “injustice never rests, so either will we” was the motto of many activist movements I was in.

To musician & activist, Hozier whose poetry readings during the pandemic, reminded me of my love of poetry & writing. It was the poetry readings that inspired me to start writing poetry again,

including many of the poems in this zine.

And lastly to you for taking the time to read this book. May it be part of the collective effort to change the world.

#thank you

Books About Disabilities Disney Plus Should Adapt

Here are 5 books with excellent disability representation that #DisneyPlus should adapt. They have power, they can do a lot of good. 📝 @RealENHolloway $DIS #DisneyPlus #AbleismExists

The following is a guest editorial by Ethan Holloway. Back in 2021, I wrote an article for Dejaview News about Disney’s published books that Disney+ should adapt, so now I am back to write about some books that follow characters with disabilities that Disney needs to adapt like, yesterday. My Three Best Friends And Me, Zulay by Cari Best This book follows Zulay and her three best friends who…

#Fibroworrior #Repost @laurahadleyx (with @report.for.insta) ... Emotional post alert 🙊 I’ve been using a wheelchair for several years now and have had so many looks from strangers, people staring at my feet to see whether I could move them and even the odd comment about how I’m too young to have chronic illnesses. People have told me to exercise more and it will help fix my conditions. Change my diet and it will fix my conditions. What people don’t do is use kindness and think a bit before they speak. They don’t ask what your conditions entail, how they can help make things easier for you or take a minute to see how critical comments can really effect your mental health too. Seeing this @barbie today made me realise how inspirational it is to have a doll that represents wheelchair users. How it is normal to use mobility aids. That you can be cute and disabled. If I had needed to use a wheelchair when I was a little girl I would have cried my eyes out after seeing this. Thank you @mattel for bringing out barbies with disabilities 💖 #barbie #mattel #wheelchairbarbie #disability #ableismexists #invisibleillness #spoonie #wheelchairlife #personswithdisablities #notalldisabilitiesarevisable #cuteanddisabled #disabledlife #disabledandcute #disabledandproud #ehlersdanlossyndrome #fibromyalgia https://www.instagram.com/p/B1FWe4vHaOp/?igshid=1rhytxjkkiffk

Posted @withregram • @pacingpixie I've used both before but am deffos leaning towards 'non-Disabled' now. What do we think? ID: There are two headings: 'able-bodied' and 'non-Disabled'. Underneath there is a list of features. On the 'able-bodied' side it says 'By focusing on how someone is 'bodied', can be seen to overlook non-physical disabilities', 'Supports the medical model of disability by considering the condition of the body', 'Doesn't align with identity or person-first language' and 'Doesn't centre Disabled people'. On the 'non-Disabled' side, it lists: 'By focusing on whether someone is Disabled, the term is broader, including all disabilities,' 'Supports the social model by considering membership of a social group not impairment,' 'Aligns with Identity-first language' and 'Centres Disabled people'. #Disability #DisabilityAwareness #DisabilityPride #Ableism #AbleismExists #DisabilityCommunity #LanguageMatters #KnowBetterDoBetter #CripplePunk #DisabilityStudies #ChronicIllness #ChronicallyAwesome #DisabledAndProud #TheFutureIsAccessible #BabeWithAMobilityAid #WheelchairDontCare #YoungAndDisabled #DiversityAndInclusion #Spoonie #SpoonieLife #Unchargeables #Inclusion #AccessibilityForAll #DisabilityIsDiversity #WordsMatter #AccessIsLove #DisabilityJustice #DisabilityAdvocacy #DisabilityActivism #Activism https://www.instagram.com/p/CTqPZ66pwOW9Wdb3kZeqcHf0mQpec6iSYpOip00/?utm_medium=tumblr

How many of you have been called out for even trying to mention that your ADHD is debilitating? It’s so frustrating because we don’t do it all the time but that one time we do, we get told off for “using it as an excuse”. 😫defeated sigh… #adhd #adhdawareness #adhdmemes #adhdwomen #adhdsupport #adhdlife ##adhdexplained #adhdisreal #adhdstruggles #adhdhelp #neurodiversity #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealth #suaraadhd #ableism #ableismexists https://www.instagram.com/p/CQzgkHpJ_9R/?utm_medium=tumblr

“My advice to other disabled people would be, concentrate on things your disability doesn’t prevent you doing well, and don’t regret the things it interferes with. Don’t be disabled in spirit as well as physically.” -Stephen Hawking —— I’m guilty of using the term “Differently Abled” in the past. I recently learned it’s offensive because it implies that disabled people lack “able bodies” or the ability to use their bodies well. So I wanted to make a shirt for those who identify as “disabled.” The word doesn’t have to be a scarlet letter; it could be a title of power. In this world that’s built for neurotypicals and those without disabilities, consider the strength that a “disabled” person possesses. To live with SPD in an environment with bright lights and loud sounds. To communicate while deaf even though most people don’t know ASL. To know your surroundings even when blind. To make this world accessible - even when the opportunities are inaccessible. To me, there’s nothing more powerful than that. So, I designed this “Phenomenally Disabled” t-shirt. In the word “Disabled,” there’s an “I” that uses the infinity symbol, an “A” that’s in ASL, an “L” that’s in Braille, and a “D” that uses the disabled symbol. Like Mr. Hawking said, “Don’t be disabled in spirit as well as physically.” —— Description: Picture 1 - A girl in a wheelchair wearing a black t-shirt that reads, “Phenomenally Disabled.” Picture 2 - Front facing picture of the t-shirt. #InvisibleIllness #DeafTalent #ActuallyAutistic #DisaBodyPosi #AbleismExists #TheBarriersWeFace #neurodiversity #disabled #disability #wheelchair #disabilityawareness #chronicillness #inclusion #love #accessibility #paraplegic #motivation #amputee #cerebralpalsy #nevergiveup #accessible https://www.instagram.com/p/CMh6eUcBghP/?igshid=1v2qpqfm6sdgv
