Favourite mug

I drink coffee from a cup my first girlfriend bought me long ago, after we broke up. I prepare for the week ahead with the un-chipped, well-loved mug by my bed. The perfect size for a morning drink, a thoughtful gift from someone I haven't seen in years, I think. I wonder what that says about me, what I don't understand, thinking about tomorrow with the past in my hands.

Have you tried yoga? Have you tried aleve? Have you tried physical therapy? Have you tried a chiropractor? Have you tried a new mattress? Have you tired drinking water? Have you tried taking things out of your bookbag? Have you tried losing weight? Have you tried stretching? Have you tried-SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT THE FUCK UPPPP

everybody supports disabled people until we’re inconveniencing them.

everybody supports people with chronic pain conditions until we have to cancel plans because we’re in immobilising pain.

everybody supports people with brain damage until we need extra support, until we have memory issues and forget basic information, until we have immobilising migraines.

everybody supports disabled people until we are disabled.

the world wants me dead so I live. the world wants me miserable so I find joy where I can.

legitimately from ages like 12-25 i thought everyone was exhausted to the point of suicidal depression and i was just bad at handling it. kids the normal amount of suicidal ideation is NONE and if you don't physically recover by sleeping you should see a doctor

i have. a lot of big complicated thoughts about how people tend to treat depression as like. as if it’s nothing. like it’s the most basic easiest mental illness ever. why do we do this. depression kills people. constantly. people will throw around “depression and anxiety” and say they’re totally normalized nonstigmatized disorders and then you realize they only think mild versions of these disorders exist. i have a laundry list of mental disorders and the only one that’s ever actually put my life at risk was depression. if you throw around depression as if it’s the mildest least harmful mental illness ever have you considered shutting the fuck up.

The narrative that “you should care about disabled people because one day that’ll be you” is ableist in and of itself.

You should care about disabled people’s rights because you should care about the disenfranchisement of a marginalized community.

Becoming disabled is not a punishment. Becoming disabled is not a threat. Becoming disabled is not cosmic retaliation for being ableist. Becoming disabled is morally neutral.
