If We Had A Universal Basic Income Program I Would Do All The Bookkeeping For It At No Cost Just To Make

also remember that there is no enforcement office for the ADA like there are for other similar government acts! the burden of enforcing ADA is placed entirely on disabled people and our lawyers.

the ADA simply defines grounds for lawsuit. that’s all it does. the ADA is the bare. fucking. minimum.

happy 34th anniversary of americans with disabilities act (ADA)! remember ADA is bare minimum!

i am BEGGING people to please stop spreading this sentiment without the appropriate nuance. I irreparably damaged my shoulders by using a mobility aid that wasn’t right for me because I was told “just get the cane!”

Mobility aid use is a serious medical decision. Absolutely do NOT get crutches because you “think they would make you look cool.” You have a high chance of causing avoidable, permanent damage to your body.

If you are unable to be seen by an occupational therapist, please make sure to do research on different mobility aids and how to best use them for your needs. It can make a world of difference in your future ability.

to those who want a mobility aide, but don't think they're "disabled enough" for it:

get the aide.

you want a cane, but you don't think you need it? get the cane.

you want a wheelchair, but you can get by without? get the wheelchair.

you think crutches would make you look cool? get the crutches.

it doesn't matter if you just think it looks cool or fun. using mobility aides actively helps those of us who do 100% need them, even if you don't ""need"" them.

using mobility aides in public makes it easier for others to do so. buying mobility aides, especially things like canes, often means that they continue to be made and supplied. sometimes, disabled folks make and supply mobility aides - in that case, you may be directly supporting them.

get the mobility aide. use it. you're doing good.

I think people with brain damage and neurodegenerative diseases' unique position on brain/body duality is so heavily appropriated by others and used to speak over us or put words in our mouths that I don't think we're ever actually allowed to speak about it ourselves. That's a huge loss I think, because I think we really do have a lot to say that could be very beneficial to the community and disability rights as a whole. Even to our understanding of the human experience and its physical nature, I think.

To have your body tangibly damaged, and through it your entire world and self too, to be changed so intrinsically that it spans both the body and the very essence of self. The inseparability of your physical disabilities and who you are not just on a spiritual or social level but a tangible, physical, neurological one, where even in a hypothetical future you couldn't cure the physical without changing the self, everything you experience, in ways that can be almost impossible to comprehend. The absolute, unavoidable understanding of every fiber of one's self as a physical phenomena, down to the very last thought or feeling, and coming to terms with it.

Unfortunately I think unless people stop using us as a mouthpiece to talk over each other, we won't get to have those conversations. If you want us to speak, you need to listen. I mean really listen. No picking and choosing, no deciding for us what you think it means. No trying to relate our experiences to your own when we tell you that no, those things aren't the same. Just listen and uplift our voices, especially those of us who can't communicate our thoughts and experiences very well.

needed this today so im reblogging it in case someone else does too

Sometimes your worst fears are true. Sometimes you’ve annoyed a loved one. Sometimes you’ve even upset them or frustrated them.

But you know what? It doesn’t mean they’re done with you. It doesn’t mean they’re going to leave you.

It is normal to be annoying sometimes. It’s normal to not be perfect and to have off days. It’s normal for relationships to not be in perfect harmony all the time.

My point here is, yes, while sometimes they are true, it isn’t the end of everything. It’s actually quite normal. And you’re going to be okay.

AND I WILL NEVER DIE

I WILL NEVER DIE

i’m in need of a lobotomy.

shoutout to being fuzzy

estrogen didn’t get rid of most of my body hair and i’m so thankful for that

I think body hair that isn’t leg hair deserves appreciation too. Body hair is amazing. I love the little hairs above my lip. I love how I can see the peach fuzz on my jaw starting to grow thicker. It’s exciting to see more chest hair everyday, I love that after years of having just the one that more are coming.

I love the little hairs on my arm that are growing in, little blonde ones that will turn black some day to match the rest. I love the hair on my hands and the hair on my fingers. I love that the hair on my stomach has been going growing further up my belly. I can see light blonde hairs on my back that weren’t there before, I’ll love them too when they grow in.

My leg hair was already so thick and dark, and I hope mine gets thicker and darker. I love the matching patches of skin on my legs that are bald from my thighs rubbing together. I even love the hair on my feet. I love being hairy but if the hair on my head thins or goes bald I’ll love that too.
