this is your daily reminder to stop being abusive and mean toward people with bladder and bowel issues.
im tired of hearing people mock those who struggle with bladder/bowl control, for people who can't tell when they need to go until it's too late or at all, for people who have uncontrollable voidings and leaking, for people who need to wear incontinence products around the clock, for people who need them influctuating amounts and need different kinds of products, for those who bedwet, for those who can't afford incontinence products so their clothes get dirty- to everyone with bowel and bladder issues.
we are human. we are still people. we are not gross, we are disabled. we are struggling with a disability. if you make cutesy posts about canes and wheelchairs, you need to include people who wear diapers, people who need plastic pants, plastic bedsheets and absorbent bed pads. you need to include people who can't tell when they need to go. people who need/use catheters. people who have colostomy bags. people with stained and dirty clothing. people who have to change their incontinence products in public.
you need to include autistic and ADHD and ND and disabled people who feel unsafe without diapers. you need to include people with spinal injuries and ehlers danlos syndrome and muscular control disorders with need incontinence products and feel safe with them. you need to include people who like their diapers and not just tragic stories where it's never discussed or doesn't negatively impact their life and livelihood.
please include all disabilities in your disability positivity posts, and please be kind and treat all disabled people with respect and humility, including those of us with symptoms you may find "gross".

dear doctors and others who want to 'cure' or 'fix' our disability. to people who think the goal is to get us off our mobility aids.
do you actually care about us or are you just trying to make us normal like you? do you find us unsightly to be around, or do you genuinely want us to live happy with our bodies?
there is a damn big difference between thinking its your responsibility to make a disabled person abled and making a future completely free of disabled folk, and actually giving a damn about the health, lives and comfort of disabled people.
if you dont actually give a fuck about us and just want us to be abled and normal like you without asstance of any kind, stop lying to yourself trying to play hero. get your head out of your ass and treat us like living beings.
sincerly a rightfully angry cripple.

“Disabled bodies are beautiful” until you have to look at them in a bathing suit. Until they ARENT hiding their deformities and differences from the world.

me when my disability (surprisingly) disables me: 😮😮😮
i'm on vacation, it's great, i'm all alone by myself, doing whatever i want, enjoying the peace and calmness. and i just. you know. forgot i can't walk much.
i was walking this morning, watching beautiful views, taking pictures. and then it started hurting a lot more. i sat down, had a small rest, it didn't help. i needed to relax (in horizontal position, preferably) for a lot more than just a few minutes, sooo. i googled some good bubble tea places around. and one of them was just 4 minutes away. and i realized i couldn't walk there. it just seemed impossible, i barely fainted in pain. i called a taxi and even walking to the car was a challenge.
the day i forgot i'm disabled and my cane isn't an accessory for faking it and seeking attention.

Hello!
I absolutely hate asking for help but I am currently facing homelessness, literally anything helps. I'm trying to make it to the next biggest city so I can have access to a case worker and better homeless shelters. I need to raise $80. Please please help or donate.
I am actively fleeing an abusive situation, that was supposed to be a safe option once I got away from my primary abuser. However she ended up being just as unsafe.

Something I need abled people to understand (ESPECIALLY able-bodied people)
We are not "erasing" you or "forgetting" you if we say something is for disabled people.
For example and to help me explain:
When we explain that a feature is for accessibility to folks who are physically disabled and may use mobility aids, I don't need to hear about how unhelpful YOU think it is
You never need to go: "Oh but it's also (this)! Don't forget (this)!"
We will never forget you or erase you because you are everwhere. We are too, but unlike a disabled person, you are automatically seen, heard, and taken into account.
So next time a disabled person says "oh this is for disabled people"... Just shut up please.

So I study communications and art. I’ve studied zines a lot. We basically never talk about disability zines in my classes unless I bring them up. We went to a museum as a class for their zine exhibition. The curator told us they were essentially uncensored. I didn’t find any disability zines in the show. I suppose they…forgot? I guess. We went to a zine library and the librarian had pulled a selection to look through as a starting point. Feminist zines, queer zines, zines about immigration, zines about being BIPOC. All really, genuinely great material, just nothing about disability. We were given permission to roam the stacks. I found a zine written by a disabled woman about her experiences with chronic illness. I read it. My professor asked us to share what we read during this field trip. I talk about this zine and a zine about grappling with a multicultural identity. My professor mentions how specific an experience it is, how the author must be writing for themself because there isn’t much of an audience. She doesn’t clarify which zine she’s referring to. Either way I disagree. You don’t have to be exactly like someone to resonate with their experiences.
I know disability zines exist. I’ve read some. But they never seem to be part of the archive that gets discussed. I think I’m the only disabled person in this class. I don’t want to talk to strangers about how it hurts to walk and how standing too long can make me faint. I don’t have a formal diagnosis and I always feel as if I’m overstepping. I don’t know how to be a spokesperson for the disabled community at large, I’m a singular university student. I’ve been called a cripple at school. By someone I considered a friend. I’ve had people get tired of how I’m just not getting better. I’m tired, too. And I’d like to at least see a little representation.
I don’t know why I’m always surprised that even countercultural spaces and discussions barely include disabled people.

I try so hard to be positive about this stuff but gif sometimes I just wanna scream and cry. Because sometimes I get so tired of pretending it’s not that bad for everyone else.

put spikes on your wheelchair's handles. wrap barbed wire around your cane or crutch so it'll hurt like a motherfucker if someone kicks or grabs it from under your hand. wear a personal alarm and pull the pin every time someone moves you without your consent, leans on your chair, takes a seat on your rollator, taps your hearing aid, steals your AAC device. scream for help when you're abducted. wail like you're in agony when people trip you up or knock into you. take pepper spray to the grocery store. take a knife to the club. leave cards that say "fuck you" under the wipers of inconsiderately parked cars and scratch access codes for bathrooms on the outside of the door. we are not begging for mercy, we're fighting dirty. we have to.

I was in the grocery store, minding my own business in my wheelchair, and this woman starts shouting to her kids "CAREFUL CAREFUL MOVE OUT THE WAY BE CAREFUL" because I was vaguely near them. that was uncomfortable....
