Shout out to the ten year old who just got diagnosed. Shout out to the housebound fourteen year old. Shout out to the eighteen year old who can’t go to the university they wanted. Shout out to the twenty two year old who can’t get a job. Shout out to the twenty six year old with a caretaker. Shout out to the thirty year old who can’t buy their own house.
Shout out to young disabled people. We exist.
My doctor and therapist: now with this autism + ADHD diagnosis you need to learn to unmask because masking all the time will make you burn out again and feel like shit
Other people: well it's just interesting how after getting the diagnosis you suddenly start behaving like that I mean I'm not saying you're faking it's just funny how you suddenly cannot be normal like you were before
I would like to see more people talk about how jobs treat disabled employees.
I used to prep, wash dishes, and cook at mellow mushroom. I had chronic pain that wasn't NEARLY as bad as it is today, but it was still very debilitating. I told my employer "i cannot stand more than 4 to 6 hours. I CANNOT do shifts longer than this due to my illness." And even though i made my boundaries VERY clear, everyday i worked it was 8 hours at the least and 10 or 12 at the most. I would go up to my manager and say "look i really need to leave, my shift is over, my chronic pain is killing me." And he'd say "we really need to here, you HAVE to push through." And so i did, and after one, ONE month of that job my crps got incredibly worse to the point where i could no longer walk my dog around the block which was .5 miles. I quit, and that was FOUR years ago, and ever since that day I HAVE BEEN BEDRIDDEN AND HAVE TO USE A WHEELCHAIR. It is my biggest regret in life.
My best friend who has seen my whole journey has recently developed undiagnosed chronic pain, and she is in the EXACT same scenario i was 4 years ago. Busting her ass at a pizza place with extreme pain that hurts her so much she tells me "im in so much pain i don't even feel like a person." She doesn't feel LUCID. And her manager and coworkers are saying the same thing "if you don't help us you will let us down, we'll be in the shit."
That job thats hurting you isn't fucking worth it. I promise you no money is worth losing all your physical abilities and never getting them back. Your coworkers and boss do not give a shit about you, so don't you dare suffer for them. They will never understand your struggle and they will never try. They truly think being understaffed is worse than whatever pain you experience. They would rather you permanently damage yourself than inconvenience them. FUCK THEM. DON'T FUCKING DO IT!
Chilling after the gym.
i also think it speaks to some kind of entitlement others have to immediately, indirectly or directly, demand information from a disabled person as to why they can't do something. what specific needs or struggles or medical conditions do they have that stops them from doing an action? it's not enough that they set a clear boundary ("I can't do that"), people want to evaluate it. honestly it's kind of arrogant that they feel the need - like the inability to do something, literally a part of disablement, has to make sense to you, personally, before it's a legitimate excuse - oh i mean reason. sometimes people ask "why can't you do that thing?" but more often people hurl suggestion after suggestion at the disabled person, and force them through conversation to explain in minute detail why they can't follow your advice. it really feels like disabled people are being tested to see if they're actually disabled and not faking. if they don't explain why the most obvious advice that you, a stranger, thought up in a few moments is viable, then they're obviously not putting enough effort into trying to do the thing. i've literally seen this played out so many times with disabled bloggers here like beat for beat. i think some of you are ableist actually
I actually can't stop thinking about how the losing party last election dressed like vikings and tried to break into the white house and the losing party this election are sharing suicide prevention hotlines
The Barbie brand is constantly redefining elegance and style. Pink Premiere Barbie is the stunning first doll in the new Gala Collection, ushering in a new era of sophistication with a palpable echo of 1959 style. With her pink Barbiecore mermaid dress and sophisticated accessories, she embodies the essence of Hollywood glamor from those years on the red carpet.
happy Silco and Vander made up and became lovers even tho Vander attempted to murder Silco and Silco was already premeditating murder.
gay people have a normal one for once.

“but you’re so young!” congrats. you just proved that your biases about what disabled looks like are preventing you from acknowledging the facts.
