hey general public, just checking. would you put an unusable cardboard ramp outside a building with stairs, with a sign on it that says “lol just kidding”? no?? that would actually be a very mean thing to do, yeah?? then stop fucking using image alt text and video captioning to tell your dumb jokes.

Doctor Beverly Crusher @SpaceDocMom Attendance rewards/punishments in schools/workplaces are ableist and not conducive to health care. In Starfleet if I say my patient needs rest, I can make that an order that even someone above my rank has to obey. Your society could learn a thing or two about this. emojis: black heart, blue heart, masked 3:24 PM · Sep 22, 2023

Does anyone else just get so frustrated by being invisibly disabled or presenting as able bodied, because god all I want to do sometimes is tell people why. I’ll make a comment that is actually an allusion to my illness (and no I don’t “expect” people to always get that) like I’ll mention a symptom, and then able bodied people will rip you to shreds without even realising it? Like I offhandedly mentioned that “I need to get more energy.” And then got torn into because I haven’t got an excuse to be tired, and if they (an older person) can do it so can I! But I can’t. And I just stood there with tears in my eyes. I wish I could tell them why I can’t, but I can’t erase that knowledge once it’s out there. Pick your poison: for people to think of you and say that you are lazy, selfish, entitled, rude. Or, tell them you have debilitating disabilities and face all the overt ablism. It’s like masking my autism, and when given the choice between the two I always mask. But I’m really wishing that I don’t always do that.

Actual conversation today, although not the first time :
Me: We have trouble with X because we are both disabled
'well-meaning' individual: Oh, you just have to do X!
Me: Yes, that's the bit we can't do
WMI: Seriously?!
Me: yes, seriously we are disabled.

I was so happy tonight at a friend's birthday picnic... until I wasn't. Can I have one experience of happiness without it being tainted by ableist bullshit? Please?
Oh, and maybe don't downplay a disabled person's health concerns as "exaggerated fears". Asshole.

i’m just dropping by and i wanna rant a bit about just how much i hate that people have turned the word “narcissistic” into a synonym for toxic or abusive. even if we’re ignoring the ableism towards people with NPD (which we shouldn’t), people are still not using the term correctly? they’re not evening referring to someone who is egotistical or selfish, they’re just straight up using that word for any person who slightly pisses them off.

Why the absolute FUCK do people who have clearly never been fucking *near* a wheelchair, let alone actually *used* one, think they are qualified to judge what is basically accessible, let alone “brilliant”?
The angle there would make them unusable for anyone self-propelling, and incredibly dangerous for pretty much anyone being pushed or using a powerchair.
You know what would *actually* be “brilliant”? Houses built on a level so steps aren’t needed.

(Image from a random Facebook post that had about 2000 shares from abled people saying how “brilliant” it was and a bunch of wheelchair users trying to tell people how outstandingly *dangerous* it was and being ignored. I want to scream.)

Guys I love how this fandom constantly have different standards for tubbo in literally every circumstance and always take his actions as selfish and or malicious. I love how it always sounds incredibly ableist 💖 I appreciate that so much.

what is it with people nowadays using the word “narcissistic” as a replacement for toxic or abusive? even if we are ignoring the fact that this sounds ableist towards people with NPD (which we shouldn’t ignore btw but just for the sake of this argument) y’all are not even using it in its ORIGINAL definition, as in “a person who has an excessive interest in or admiration of themselves”. you’re just using the word for whoever slightly pisses you off. “my friend was kinda rude to me yesterday, she’s so narcissistic” IM BEGGING YOU DO EVERYONE A FAVOR AND PICK UP A DICTIONARY

Every time I see someone's angry vent post about zionists (which i love by the way. You should be angry. I'm so fucking angry I cant think,) there's always a decent chance it's gonna end with something almost randomly racist, ableist, or fatphobic 🙄 for no particular reason
My anger is for my enemies, and there's power in being specific.

people on tumblr learned the term "conflicting access needs" and decided that it means "my needs take priority over everyone else's"

Doctor Beverly Crusher @SpaceDocMom It's not your job to make anyone feel better about their casual ableism. emojis: black heart, blue heart, masked 2:33 PM · Oct 16, 2023

something i'm starting to have suspicions about and that i wish i had ever seen discussion of in disordered-multiplicity spaces: the idea that executive dysfunction, combined with the way certain neurotypes respond to it and the unique kinds of sustained, repeated trauma associated with that process, can result in DID (or its variations/cousins).
for a long time i thought it was just a matter of my having shitty memory in general, and i don't doubt that's contributed, but like. 'this is Too Fucking Much. for the sake of self-preservation it is going in the memory hole/happened in a Different Plane of Reality/happened to Someone Else. there are a lot of the latter, and being able to go 'hey who's in charge of this bit/who was around when it happened and was relevant' makes me function much better when i do,' among many other things, sound...... familiar lmao. and i'm starting to feel like the shitty memory is a contributor to that because the part of my brain that's Inclined to Do This has a quick and convenient way to dump this stuff somewhere and hide it from me.
i really, really wish there were more discussion of this kind of thing out there. and i wish it were easier to find resources and tools for working through the disordered part which come from sources i trust (more) not to be ableist, overly pathologizing, and wildly uneducated about this shit in the way that only psychiatric institutions can be. augh.

what's the most chronically online take you've heard recently? oh well mine's got to be [a joke that right wingers took seriously to justify their moral panic], [post that's almost certainly made by a troll account], [slightly unfortunately worded post that's being interpreted in the worst faith possible], [tweet by an overzealous 14 year old with 10 followers who was then subjected to weeks of non-stop harassment and death threats] or maybe [a single statement from a long and complex discussion that's been completely taken out of context]. online leftists are so sensitive and extreme and make the movement look bad ha ha i'm very smart and reasonable
