Something I wish abled bodied people would understand is that just because I’m using a mobility aid doesn’t mean I’m “hurt” in that moment necessarily. They’re also preventative measures. Since I’ve began using my aids at work I’ve gotten so many versions of “what happened to you” that I genuinely cannot keep track. Nothing *happened*, sometimes people are just disabled.

“I would die for you”, “I would kill for you”, would you figure out the post office for me, would you be patient through a bad depressive episode for me, would you remind me gently thst I deserve to live in a clean space, would you do drugs with me

People don't clarify that even if you heal back stronger than ever, you are also always going to be different than you were before

Pre-chopped fruits and veggies make it possible for so many people with various disabilities to prepare healthy meals and maintain their energy.

I don't radically love myself yet but I do love myself like I would a messy af best friend. I don't agree with some of their choices and sometimes they can be dumb as hell but I love the bastard

i really don't get why people act like "hating your disability" and "being proud to be disabled" are opposites. i hate the inconvenience and pain and discomfort and isolation and not being able to do the things i want to do. i'm proud that i'm still truckin along anyway, and that i'm part of such a resilient and vibrant community.

if you are stinky and wretched please remember to wash your you. then you may still be wretched but at least you won't be stinky.

it's just really fucking frustrating that we live in a world where I grew up being trained to believe that addicts are unloveable. and then I became an addict and I was still told that addicts are unloveable. and I just have to deal with the fact that there are people out there who believe that I don't deserve love, or that my partner is brave for loving me, or that my family and friends are suffering just from me existing. and that's fine that's just the way it is

but then on top of that. I have to deal with tumblr users telling me (an addict!!!) that they hate addicts in a cool new way that I should be totally sympathetic towards. see, they had a family member who was the most evil person on the planet! and that family member was an addict! so they can't help the fact that they now want all addicts to die! they can't help it! blast them all.

yall ever go "waow im actually doing well for once" and then drop something and have to decide if you have the energy to get down on the ground to get it and then pull yourself back up to standing

Vivienne: My abilities are related to divination. Most often, I use my crystal magic ball, which I inherited from my ancestors, for predictions. Once upon a time as a child, I accidentally found it in an old abandoned room in my house, which belonged to my late great-grandmother. From that moment on, I feel an invisible connection with this ball. In the magic ball, I saw what my great-grandmother looked like, and a gift for my fifth birthday, which my mother hid in the closet a month before that day. Magic ball predicted to me my first school friend, Jenny, with whom we remain close friends to this day. And recently I saw that there were five witches in red clothes and their clothes were similar. I thought for a long time what this could mean, and suddenly Jenny said that we need to join some secret club at our university, and there is just such a red uniform! The club is led by a very demanding and strict teacher - Miss Olivia. To be honest, I’m a little afraid of her and when I see her I start smiling stupidly... I don’t know how I managed to join this closed club. During the entrance test, I don’t even remember what I did. I only remember that Miss Olivia looked at me as if I were an underdeveloped person!

Uh-oh, coming down with a case of “what-if-a-bunch-of-other-people-experience-these-symptoms-as-bad-as-I-do-but-they-suck-it-up-and-work-anyway-and-I’m-just-being-a-little-bitch”-itis

Wild concept that shouldn’t be wild and the coldest take ever: disabled adults are *adults* and not just children trapped in adult bodies

Disabled adults have sex

Disabled adults do drugs

Disabled adults curse

Disabled adults get piercings and tattoos

Disabled adults can make adult decisions and act and behave like adults because we are adults

It’s just so weird for people to constantly infantilize me all because of my mobility aids when I’m not a child!!!

The worst thing is that low quality porn is still extremely easily accessible on tumblr, but what isn't allowed anymore really is user's expressions of their own sexuality.

The mind numbing anger of chronic fatigue is getting irritable because you're so fucking tired but you really feel like you SHOULDNT BE.

You SHOULD be able to sit at a desk and do work. You SHOULD be able to just watch a freaking YouTube video. You SHOULD be able to just eat fucking lunch.

But you can't. Because your eyes are closing and it's like temporary death is taking you.

I feel like most able bodied people see wheelchairs as the worst thing that could happen to a person. When I discuss my want to have a wheelchair for various reasons, most peoples first reaction is to be surprised that I could voluntarily consider that.

But what they fail to consider is that, unlike them, I very much hate walking. It causes me pain and fatigue, it is a miserable experience.

So to any able bodied person reading this, yes some wheelchair users like walking, some want to gain that ability back, but that does not invalidate the feelings of wheelchair users who absolutely hate walking.

Making a "don't kill yourself" post for the disabled people. You are needed and valued. You deserve to live. Your needs deserve to be met. You deserve to take up space and have your voices heard. Getting healthcare is so difficult, and we deserve better. We will not be silenced.

"I don't let my disability/pain/illness stop me" always, yes always, leads to it stopping you. Maybe not today or tomorrow. Maybe years down the line when your body cries out "enough" and you find yourself crippled of even the simplest tasks. Heed the warnings before they become Law. Be kind to yourself. Don't end up like me.

Okay but like

(The new Barbie Dream Besties dolls are so cute)

Malibu is my favorite from the line (they’re all cute tho) because her ruffly top?? Her little mirror??? They’re all so adorable. Brooklyn’s faceee and hair color (the tinsel is rly pretty) and Teresa’s gamer set but also her hair and DIMPLES??? Renee’s outfit and toast purse and also her face and they’re all so so pretty what a great core line (and the ad is so neat. The song is catchy)

The face molds def remind me of Ever After High and I like that Mattel is using that look for them. It feels like that doll style isn’t just sitting unused since EAH was discontinued (I would love to see Ever After come back one day though)

Anyway Dream Besties are cute, I hope they make more <33

this is going to have me on my hands and knees dry heaving

“No pain no gain”

Well I’m in a lot of pain and I’m not gaining anything except new chronic diagnoses sooooooo

made a wig using thrifted human sized party wig! don't know what hair fiber this is and google isn't giving me a straight answer...

I couldn't make the part line lay straight no matter what (and using superglue didn't help either) but it's giving anime hair vents, so I don't mind much and I already made another wig that came out much better! I'm excited to make more!

a lot of the people you guys are calling narcissists could easily be replaced with the word “asshole”

A real life example of using mobility aids making other people comfortable to use them themselves in my life, is me using mine and my mom following.

Like, my mom has a lot of health issues and should really be using aids all the time. But she's really stubborn and believes all the stigmas, so she never would use any.

Then I started to use a cane occasionally and she started talking about using one. So I got us matching canes, and now she uses it often. She'll brag about it to me too. Like I'll walk in and she goes "I used the cane you got me while I was at Disney this weekend. It was really helpful"

Today I decorated my plain black cane with stickers and brought it in to show her and now she's all excited because she wants to put stickers on her cane.

Anyway it feels nice seeing her finally feel comfortable with using a mobility aid to get around.
