It is just a matter of time before they add the word "Syndrome" after my last name.

[Image ID: A person standing in a forest, leaning on two forearm crutches. He has short, curly, split colored hair - left side pink, right side brown - tied into space buns. He's wearing a grey crop top, dark grey pants and black combat boots]
in honor of my anger induced post about dynamic disability, and also my somehow really famous post about disabled people being allowed to have hobbies
this is me after a 3k hike, I really love hiking and am so grateful for my crutches and my family who help me be able to keep doing it, even with chronic hip issues <3

I need some of you to stop thinking that being visibly disabled comes with some kind of inherent privilege. I need some of you to stop thinking people are less ableist to us because they can easily tell we’re disabled. I need some of you to stop using us as a prop in your discussions about other disabilities, saying shit like “You’d never say or do X to a visibly disabled person so why-.”
I need some of you to stop telling physically disabled people that they’re the most privileged in disabled spaces. I need some of you to stop coming into discussions specifically about physical disabilities and the ableism directed towards physically disabled people and then claiming we’re excluding you because you’re not currently being centered.
We are all disabled, all part of the same community. But that doesn’t mean you can’t be ableist towards other disabled people and I’m seeing a lot of you do it and it’s exhausting. So, take a minute, step back and think about it and stop.

it’s disability pride month!
here’s a friendly reminder that disabled people do not owe you anything at all!
disabled people don’t owe you proof of their diagnosis.
disabled people don’t even owe you a diagnosis.
disabled people don’t owe you “submission” or “passive behaviour”.
disabled people don’t owe you a specific appearance.
disabled people don’t owe you specific stereotypical behavioural traits.
disabled people don’t owe you an explanation of their disability.
disabled people don’t owe you a certain gender identity or orientation.
disabled people don’t owe you speech or eye contact.
disabled people don’t owe you full reliance on mobility aids, medication, other medical devices (but if you fully rely on yours that’s obviously 100% okay too!)
disabled people don’t owe you anything at all. so don’t go looking for it if you don’t need it.
that’s all. to all my disabled siblings, i love you so much /p! may you stay safe this month <3

This is so accurate! 😅
Forever mainly me and my goblin cocoon.
Especially as a chronically ill disabled alternative person. I've never been called out more 😄.

i like how if you complain that the only """solution""" most doctors want to give you for pain is a drug addiction, and dare to say that there are better ways of living with it, you somehow "hate people with chronic pain"

Anyone have any tips on using a cane in public as a 20 year old who isn't visibly disabled? I'm so nervous.

when i use severe migraine as an excuse not to go somewhere on a day where it’s not actually severe, that’s just making up for one of the countless times it was severe and i pushed thru
