cripple punk flag // not a coining post

hey, so. in disability pride month/july 2021, i made a flag for cripple punk. i got feedback from a number of cripples on the design and wanted to make a post on it since it's this blog's icon. (sources on my website--photosensitivity warning, the background is a raining gif)

black field: mourning, crips of color

light blue: history, joy, invisible disabilities

gold: perseverance, culture, success

red: strength, life, determination

dark blue: accessibility, mobility aid users, community

triangle pattern: unconventional problem solving, overlapping experiences

to be crystal clear, this is not a new flag. it's over two years old, i just didn't share it on tumblr. if you are a cripple, you are free to use this! i'd love to be tagged in anything you use it for though, just to see it.

ableds can reblog if they use the tag #i’m able bodied

#DO NOT tag as c slur/tw slur/etc. #crip punk #cripplepunk #cripple punk #crippunk #cpunk #physically disabled #physical disability #mobility aid user #cripple punk flag #crippunk flag #cpunk flag

i need to talk about Izzy's death again

It was good that Ed was with Izzy when he died. But what about Fang? what about Frenchie? Those two held him when he cried and supported him when he was at his lowest. What about Lucius who he whittled a shark for, what about Wee John who did his makeup and let him be vulnerable? Why weren't they doing anything, even if it's just being there for him? Showing him love in his last moments seems like something you would do for someone like that. I imagine that fang has known Izzy as long as Ed has, so i just don't get it. It's sad that Izzy died, but what's even sadder is that it was so... glossed over almost? As if he didn't mean anything to anyone, like his whole forgiveness arc meant nothing. Like he did all of that growing just for no one to care at all. It feels cold

#still upset that they killed the disabled character off #injuries are so superficial in this world why did he have to die from a fucking gunshot #and do not even get me started about putting his mobility aid on his grave #izzy hands #ofmd #our flag means death

[khruschevshoe]

On a third note when it comes to the problems with the writing in this season of ofmd...the handling of disability. Because good God.

To preface this before anyone jumps down my throat about getting upset: I am disabled myself, both physically and mentally. I carry a small laundry list of mild to moderate conditions that impair my daily functions. I understand what it is like to desire to see characters that carry disabilities similar and dissimilar to my own onscreen. I also understand that there ARE multiple disabled characters in OFMD (ex. Jackie with her wooden hand, Ed with his knee brace, Pete with his cleft palate, Lucius with his mentioned bad back/wooden finger). I UNDERSTAND that these were all generally handled decently well, incorporated without drawing attention to them (although the disappearance of Ed's knee brace was strange to me in season 2, even that I could get with bc personally I only need to use my cane when my knee flares bad and can walk perfectly normally the rest of the time without an aid).

Which is all to say: the way that Izzy's death was written is insidiously (likely unconsciously, but still) ableist. His entire arc this season revolves around community and recovering from trauma and accepting himself both in a queer sense and a DISTINCTLY DISABLED sense. The way he remarks upon his own disability and his acceptance of himself and the way that the show is written to have his crew member ACCOMODATE him joyfully as an EXPLICIT SYMBOL OF LOVE was a breath of fresh air when it comes to disabled characters. I also enjoyed the way that he pokes fun at it occasionally in the same way that I do with my coworkers/friends (joking "oh really, you're going to ask an invalid to do that?" *gestures at my cane*).

But that ending. God, that fucking ending. *vehemently taps table* The fact that this character who opens up, who is accepted for both sides of his identity after dragging himself through the fucking pits over them, is killed. BECAUSE HIS MOBILITY AID COULD BE SEEN BY THE ENEMY. BECAUSE HE WAS SEEN AS UNIQUELT VULNERABLE. And then they FUCKING PULL HIS MOBILITY AID, the very symbol of his acceptance, from his FUCKING BODY SO HE CANNOT BE BURIED WHOLE?

I'm sorry. I really am. I don't mean to get furious about this. But as a disabled person who saw such hope in this character, who saw a storyline about a part of myself that is rarely displayed onscreen (that slow acceptance of the part of yourself you considered broken + the acknowledgement of love by your family/community in the form of loving accommodation without complaint), this hurt me at a very primal level that I didn't know I could be hurt at.

I am SO GLAD that fanfic exists with better depictions of disabled arcs/endings bc I don't know if I could recover otherwise. Hope my fellow disabled folk out there are recovering as well, and that they understand that there is positivity to be made out of poison- it just wasn't what the finale gave us.

resource: good picrews for fat people

If anybody wants to help me put together a proper rating system, I'd love to hear about that. In the meantime, this post will be used as a place where I collect and share picrews that have any level of fat representation.

The following have fat in the title or are made specifically with fat people in mind:

Just a warning, I'm not sure if the second one was actually made benevolently or for less kind reasons than representation.

This one isn't made specifically for fat people but has a larger body type that's done surprisingly well.

If anybody would like to add any picrews they've found with size diversity I'd love to see it!

#fat #body positivity #fat positivity #fat positive #fat acceptance #i was thinking maybe like. diversity ratings based on available characteristics #like skin color skin conditions disability aids #size obv. hair types #variety in characteristics like noses and lips #and those would give it diversity ratings both in each category and an overall diversity rating #and then ratings based on add-ons or maybe titles like 'good for dnd' or 'the jewelry box is full' #'raided the pantry' #'massive closet' #'all the pride flags' #(which would obv not b all of them bc like that's literally impossible but it would be a good variety) #'who opened all the cages at the zoo' #'backgrounds for days' #'particular particle effects' #rb with achievements in the tags that u think i should add

woke: Ed wears his fingerless gloves to hide his spider tattoo that is oh so scary

bespoke: carpal tunnel

#look I’ve started needing compression gloves to exist lately and this is how I cope I will not be taking notes #to be fair it’s more from the arthritis but that’s not as punchy #I just love the implication of sexy and mysterious accessories just being mobility aids ya know #anyway…disabled Ed supremacy #ofmd #our flag means death

[an--artistic--autistic]

It's really entertaining to me that I am (apparently??) cis passing only because people are scared to be ableist.

They see my height and they see my cane and make the assumption that I am Very Short because I am disabled (which, yeah probably... most of my family members are over 5'6 and I'm 4'11 and haven't grown at all in 8 years so...)

But I have had several people at both work and school be genuinely surprised that I was trans, and they didn't want to ask because it could've been related to my disabilities.

I genuinely forgot that passing as cis was a thing and assumed I am just like a queer beacon and everyone could immediately tell.

It's very strange that multiple people in queer spaces were actually surprised to find out I am trans. Nobody wants to ask about the cane or other aids or anything (which, good don't do that unless you know someone well, but also I am so open about everything as long as people are polite so I assumed it had come up)

It's still hard to wrap my head around. However, showing people pictures of me from highschool is very funny because they can never figure out which person is me

#the one true time being disabled works in my favor #to confuse everyone about my gender #including other trans people #gonna start bringing my full size trans flag to school and wearing an explicitly non-binary pin more often #how dare you assume I'm cis/j #disability #mobility aid #cane user #transgender
