Been reflecting on my assumptions that anyone who sparks my disabled rage, protectiveness or exhaustion must be abled, and the kneejerk reaction to frame it as a slight by the abled world upon me/my loved ones/our communities.

To be clear, there's many appropriate times and places for acting in defence of us crips, Mad, ND, Deaf, ill and otherwise disabled people. It feels impossible that there'll be a day without that need some time in the future.

And.

I don't think it's as simple as that binary of us vs them. To truly internalise that anyone, anywhere can be disabled (including that random cunt who was just ableist to you!), I think we - I - need to break down this binary of abled & disabled. Not in an "ableism doesn't exist" way or a "disabled is not a useful category" way, but more: There are so many ways to have a body, and to be honest most of the bodies in this world are non-normative.

Whether through being disabled, racialised, fat, queertrans, intersex, gender non-conforming, impoverished, or any other kinda so-called "deviance" from the ""norm"", we have some shit in common! Namely the many varied experiences of existing outside the oppressive boundaries of "normative" bodies. The experiences we have of having these bodyminds in this world are real and important to name, and. the ways we group each of those experiences have arbitrary and ever-evolving, societally/culturally-defined boundaries.

I think in order to be able to not presume the ableist stranger abled-until-proven-otherwise, I/we also need to also come to terms with the ways we let each other down, disappoint each other. Perpetuate shit we shouldn't because the world is a rough place to exist and try to grow. I do it, and so does this random stranger.

So do my family members who deny their disabilities and wonder why I don't or can't do the same. So do average height crips who forget Little People exist in access audits & checklists. So do the Deaf people who express their unneeded sympathy when I talk about my wheelchair use, and so do the disableds who ask why there can't just be one sign language that everyone worldwide uses. So does the other wheelchair user who avoids my solidarity glance at the shops. So does the non-immunocompromised cane user who's dropped all pandemic precautions. So does that neurodivergent person who's forgotten they're not the only one in the vicinity with Brain Shit going on.

We love and uplift and protect and care for one another, absolutely! but we can also fuck each other over just like anyone else. We disappoint each other in big or little ways all the time. It doesn't make us abled, it makes us imperfect people in a world solely populated by imperfect people.

#idk been tryna untangle this for a while! #there are lots of ways this can be misread so pls don't assume the worst of me when reading ty #these thoughts are unfinished and also still evolving! just needed to get this down somewhere. #ty to leah lakshmi piepzna-samarasinha for their books & writing i've been getting through more of recently (& the ppl who inspired them!) #and also that person who made the recent post on the medical vs social models that made me think abt the futures i want & how to build them #and all the ppl who keep drawing links between disability & other axes of oppression & marginalisation #these thoughts don't come from nowhere - none ever do! #me #ramble #crip shit #long post #cripple punk

I am becoming convinced that able-bodied people do not actually know what experiencing pain is like based on the way they talk about it.

To me, developing chronic pain gave me this moment where I was like, "Oh, this is what being in pain is ACTUALLY like. I am 24, and I have to learn how to be in pain." Sure, I've had twisted ankles, I broke my arm, I've had the flu. Temporary pain hurts and is valid, but you don't learn how to actually be in pain until you are in it all the time. It's a hard lesson to learn.

getting disabled over a period of time is so weird, because sometimes i’ll just see something, let’s say about running, and think “i should do that!” and then i slowly realise that i can’t run anymore. i can barely even walk. it’s weird because there wasn’t one event that happened that made me like it. there wasn’t a day where i woke up and couldn’t run anymore. it was slow and gradual. and sometimes i realise how much ive lost that i didn’t even realise because it all happened so gradually. sometimes it feels like yesterday i could run and today i can’t, and sometimes it feels like forever ago that i could.

Ugly Laws. Creepy coming from the word cripple. Freak shows. Fear of clowns. Bearded ladies with PCOS & intersex variations. Contortionists with EDS. Little people. “Missing links” people with Microcephaly. “Snake man” people with limb differences. Lack of welfare programs. Disability rights. All of these things are connected.

i love how sometimes, despite all the medical advancements of the 21st century, the only thing that relieves pain is sitting/laying/standing in a weird position because it places/doesn't place pressure on certain spots

i hate that the first question my dad asks anytime i say that my entire body hurts is “do you exercise enough?”

i’ve tried, and it hurts so bad. it makes my pain worse, and when i do it where the exercise doesn’t hurt me, i’m still in pain.

i hate this question cause when i answer, it’s just like to move to the next conversation or ignore me till i dont talk about the excruciating pain i’m in.

i hate that people masquerade my pain under the idea of not exercising enough because it’s fucking easier on others to say it’s my fault and that it could be an easy fix rather then paying attention to the fact that i’ve said i’ve been in pain for almost 8 straight years!

Calling all cripplepunk folks!

So I have been asked to lead a group at my recovery center about disability etiquette. This is much-needed as I have had my mobility aids manhandled three times in the past three weeks with staff brushing it off and blaming me for being in the way instead of making an announcement for people to not do this.

This is a fantastic opportunity to have a significant impact on a place that desperately needs it. All i am asking is that you reblog or reply to this post with at least one thing you wished abled people would do differently regarding your disability.

I'll pick as many as I can reasonably fit into one presentation to show to the recovery center, and I'll be sure to update y'all on how it went!

Additionally, if you have any resources on disability etiquette, feel free to share them!

If you can't, reblogging it to spread it would be appreciated too!

it feels so unreal to think about how I had full mobility two years ago. As a physically disabled person who has been actively losing my mobility. I had to accept that if there's a possibility it's not going to get better. But I also had forgotten how recently it had been that it was there.

To me it's not something I focus on much. But sometimes I gave a few little regrets. Of not doing stupid things, crazy things, running a mile for the hell of it just because I was able to. That I shouldn't of refused to go climbing, ziplining, hiking when invited. Because now it's not exactly the possibility it was to years ago. Going down a lopsided sidewalk is frustrating now. At the same time ors silly to blame myself, because I was already in pain back than. I was already physically disabled just with more mobility at the time.

I both want too and won't let my self place blame.

it’s weird how if the stuff my chronic illnesses causes happened to an abled person, they’d call an ambulance but i’m just expected to get up and carry on with my day
