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

Disability Pride month may be concluding but I want to continue raising awareness of each kind of disability throughout the year and not just July. I want to do mental, emotional, sensory, invisible disabilities, and neurodiversity as well.

This is Emi Ibarazaki from Katawa Shoujo and I drew her for my physical disability rep. She is a disabled track runner. I chose her because this was the first route I got when I played that VN without any prior knowledge

Alt text: a blonde girl in a track runner outfit, consisting of red shorts and a white t-shirt. She has a disability in which the calves of her legs were lost. In place, she has two artificial legs that are curved and made of metal. She is doing a V with her hand aka the peace sign. She is holding a flag with her right hand. The flag has a charcoal background. In the middle are red, yellow, white, baby blue, and green stripes that are running diagonally. The backdrop is a yellow background with glimmering stars. The text on the drawing reads. "not broken" and "disability pride"

Mutism/Nonspeaking Awareness Flag

I, like many others, suffer from mutism due to a physical disability. Every flag I've seen for the nonspeaking and nonverbal community is based in autism and related issues, without representation for those of us who are nonspeaking for reasons such as being a cancer survivor, schizophrenia, muscle tension dysphonia, spasmodic dysphonia, aphrasia, brain damage, etc. and related conditions. There are a large variety of conditions that I rarely see representation for, and this flag is for us.

The white stripes represents hope for a more accepting future for nonspeaking and mute people.

The purple stripes represents entirely nonspeaking people.

The blue stripes represents AAC and sign language users.

The green stripes represents people with fluctuating levels of verbality.

The yellow stripe represents community and the way we have each other's backs in this struggle.

The symbol is a vague representation of the lack of a voice. I couldn't decide which one looked better so feel free to use either.

I need to talk about Ed making Izzy disabled

If you are going to be mad at disabled fans who are upset that the only physically disabled character on the show got killed off, because "he was a dick! he threatened and hurt ed so he had it coming!" then you need to absolutely block me. There is nothing, nothing that Izzy could have done that made him deserve getting mutilated resulting in him having a physical disability for life. It's "Izzy made him do it" when Ed's behavior is bad, but when Izzy is a bad person he apparently deserves everything that happens to him. Imagine your boss making you disabled because you pushed back on his behavior and made him angry. I'm not here to excuse Izzy's actions, the guy did bad shit. But even IF Izzy was a systematic abuser(which he is not), Ed used his authority in a terrible way, and as a disabled person i absolutely hated seeing it.

Characters die, and that's okay. I personally would have loved it if i got to see him thrive after overcoming all that, but i did not get to. So please just let me be a bit upset that my disabled character died after finally recovering and learning to live with one leg.

#“but izzy's behavior was out of line” yeah it was #HE STILL DID NOT DESERVE TO BE DISABLED FOREVER #and about the “its just piracy” thing #if it's “just piracy” then why has it never happened before #if this was normal behavior from ed then izzy would have lost his leg ages ago #you don't know what disability is like #how dehumanizing it can be #especially when someone does it to you purposefully #disability #physical disability #izzy hands #ofmd #our flag means death #edward teach #edward teach critical

every morning when I strap on my knee braces I have a quiet moment of fury over the fact that a helluva lot of ablebodied people think 'a few scraps of leather worn as a literal fashion statement in a few scenes and then never seen again, which are given over to the character's boyfriend as part of his 'costume'' constitutes Good Canon Disability Rep, Actually lmaooooooooooo

#yes this is about ed teach's fanon 'knee brace'#I love edward teach. but canon disabled rep he is NOT.#ofmd #our flag means death #ofmd critical #ofmd meta #fandom critical #ofmd fandom critical #my disabled ass personally demands better lmaoooooo #like obviously headcanon whatever you want but maybe. don't pretend. it's canon. when. it's not.#ESPECIALLY don't use it to dismiss concerns about how a certain CANON disabled character's arc ended :)#when Visibly Physically Disabled People complain about it :)

Disability Sun / Disabled Sun ☉

[Image ID: A transparent image of the Disabled Sun, which is the same as the astrological symbol of the sun. It is a large black circle with a smaller black circle in the center. End ID]

So... I wanted a symbol to represent disabilities, one that wasn't the wheelchair symbol. As a wheelchair user myself, I do like the wheelchair symbol, but it also feels like an incomplete image of the disabled community as a whole. Disabled people can come in every shape and size, and for many, many of us, the wheelchair symbol isn't representative.

Disabled people may have wheelchairs, or canes, or crutches, or hearing aids, or service dogs, or different body shapes, or even nothing at all visibly indicating a disability. There have been alternative symbols suggested in the past, but most hinge on showing a silhouette, and there would never be a way to demonstrate all of us with one little bathroom-sign-style human. So, I made this! The Disabled Sun!

This isn't meant to replace the wheelchair symbol, as that certainly has its history and place in our community, it's simply meant to be an optional other symbol for those who choose to use it.

This symbol was chosen for the following reasons and meanings:

Outer circle represents the body; physical disabilities, our relationships to our bodies, disabled bodies in general.

The inner circle represents the mind; mental disabilities, our relationships to our minds, disabled minds in general.

The circles represent wholeness, representing that we are whole, complete people. We are whole, not despite our disabilities, but we are whole including our disabilities. We are not incomplete or broken, nor are we “missing” anything.

Circles also represent unity. In this case, the circles represent the solidarity and unity of disabled people across the wide range of disabilities. It also represents universal design.

The sun represents shining a light on disabled people, and the light we provide ourselves.

It's simple, discreet, easy to reproduce, and has a unicode symbol already. ☉

The symbol is welcome to be used by anyone of any kind of disability, be it physical, mental, neurodevelopmental, sensory, invisible, anything! If you have any sort of impairment and consider yourself disabled, you are welcome to use this symbol.

[Image ID: A transparent image of the Disabled Sun, a large circle with a smaller circle in the center, in the colors of the Disabled Pride Flag by Ann Magill. The disabled pride flag is a mostly grey flag with five diagonal stripes that start at the top left corner and run down to the bottom right corner. In order from left to right, the stripes are red, yellow, white. blue, and green.]

No credit is needed to use this symbol! It would be appreciated if you spread this post around to others to give it some traction, though!

Cane user pride flag because as far as I can tell no one else has made one. Normal, and one with the cane user symbol I made.

Here is a link to the web archive page where you can download HD versions of the flag and symbol. Both are public domain because I hate capitalism and I say so.

The only thing I request is that you include image descriptions wherever possible, and link other people to the files or at least let them know they're free to use for anything.

Colors are from my synesthesia.

[ID: Four versions of a pride flag with six horizontal stripes. From top to bottom, they are: Light grey, grey-green, dark grey, violet purple, medium blue, and turquoise blue.

The second, third, and fourth versions of the flag are the same as the first, but with a cane user symbol in the center, which is a white stick figure with a black outline. The figure is walking forward with a cane in their left hand, which is held forward to follow their right foot, while their right hand and left leg are going back. The first figure is skinny and made up only only straight lines and angles, except for the circle of the head. The second is still skinny, but has rounded edges. The third is fatter, with rounded edges.

End ID.]

You are 100% encouraged to download this and share it wherever you want, and use it for anything you want, including selling designs using it! And yes, this includes people who don't use canes!

You are also encouraged to edit the symbol in any way you want, to include more body types, add more disabilities, add gender symbols, pride flags, and anything else you want!

You can buy this design from my Threadless shop!

Here again is the web archive link, where you can download all the versions of the flag and symbol, and some other relevant things!

If you would like to share on other sites, you can credit me by linking to the web archive post, so that everyone can download the HD versions of the flag! You can also link to my Threadless shop above!

Valetudicus

A term for when your physical disability affects/is intertwined with a part of your queer identity. It may also be a part of your queer identity on its own.

There is a lot of ways that one may feel this connection, and while not everyone will experience the same feeling, there are many disabled queer beings that feel this in one way or another.

For example: one who is valetudicus may find their gender and/or orientation being connected with symptoms of their physical disability, another who is valetudicus may feel that the treatment of physical disabled beings in the queer community is further alienating, thus making one wish to label their experience.

The only requirements for one to be able to identify with/as valetudicus is that one is physically disabled and queer in some form.

How do you coin your own subterm of valetudicus?

Easy! Just link to this post or tag me (or don't! I just think it will be easier for the sake of your definitions) and either add a prefix/word to the term or a separate word in front. This is a term that can apply to any physical disabilities and if you would feel more comfortable creating a microlabel, I encourage you strongly to do so!

You may also request that I make a subterm!

Etymology of this word:

Valetudo : Latin for health; a word that can roughly translate to "disability" or as a description of one's health in general.

-icus : a Latin suffix used to mean connected with/to, relating to, to come from.

*The queerness of this identity is implied and thus not included in the word*

So sorry this took me so long!!! Ironically, I am very behind on requests due to a lack of spoons. Catching up now!

For the love of god I’m sick flag

For the love of god I have a mental illness/disorder flag

Two flags for just. Just wanting people to stop.

I don remember why I made the first one.

Flag 2 was made with people with obsessive disorders, cluster b disorders, and paraphiliac disorders (you fuckers don’t interact you know who you are) in mind but can be used by anyone with a mental disorder.

For when you just want fuckers to leave you the fuck alone and other fuckers to stop treating your illness/disorder as something to strive to and/or be proud of in certain cases.

Izzy uses a mop as a crutch cause mops are used to clean up trash and messes. Izzy views himself as utter trash for failung the crew and becoming disabled. He seems and knows he's an emotional wreck from the trauma associated with losing a leg thanks to his former captain and best friend. So, it shines outward with him using something to clean up filth, him, to keep him together, until his support system comes to provide help, a better leg.
