yes, there are that many really disabled people on the internet actually

When I was less sick I used to think, "It seems like such a large portion of people on the internet are disabled, it can't possibly be that large of a percentage of the population" and then let my ableism demons tell me it was because they were faking (the same ones that told me I was faking, until I made myself really ill.)

But now that I'm sicker and wiser I realize I was logically just wrong because

The internet is disabled people's lifeline. There are more disabled people on the internet because OF COURSE. People who aren't disabled can be less chronically online because they don't have to be. This is textbook selection bias!

But actually also I was almost right, because there are way more disabled people in society than you would think! They're just systematically hidden and excluded from public spaces for abled peoples' convenience! 🙃

Anyway maybe this will help you understand and/or explain to abled friends and family.

Logan Howlett would advocate and understand the need for disability access and accommodations. Logan Howlett would know that he has a body that can endure anything, and that his ability is not the standard. I dunno. I feel like he'd be really understanding to other disabilities and if he learned someone had a disability he'd go out of his way to learn more about it and understand it. That's all.

#DisabilityDayOfMourning is emotional.

Mourning unneccesary deaths due to systemic ableism & discrimination as a whole.

Even harder this year, as 🇨🇦's '21 MAID amendments have been making it coercive toward the most vulnerable.

These policies gave us even more deaths to mourn.

Oklahoma you are fucking abhorrent. I can’t even be nostalgic about my time there because your government has fucking ruined it for me. Thanks a lot. My heart goes out to the kids you will irreversibly damage by your inhumane policies. To whomever’s running this clown show, I hope there is a hell because there is a spot there waiting for you.

Visitability, a movement started by Eleanor Smith and her Atlanta-based organization, Concrete Change, in 1987, refers to an affordable, sustainable, and inclusive design approach for integrating a few core accessibility features as a routine construction practice into all newly built homes. These features allow the home to be visited by relatives, friends, and others who may have disabilities, accommodate short term occupancy by people with disabilities, and facilitate additional adaptations that may be needed by an individual.

It is focused exclusively on single-family homes, which comprise more than 70 percent of the nation's housing stock and are typically not covered by other federal laws (e.g., Architectural Barriers Act of 1968, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the Fair Housing Act of 1988).

Saw a question on R/Disability, from someone buying a home, and wanting advice on how to make it accessible enough so their Wheelchair-using friend can come visit. I found this website while looking up tips for them, and then I thought people over here might be interested, too.

#Visitability #Still sticks in my craw that ADA doesn't apply to residential spaces #And subsidized housing for low income folks #is most often put in the least accessible architecture #housing is a right #Disability rights are human rights

What's fucked up about pre-natal genetic screening is that being able to determine which parents will have a child who suffers from genetic disorders would allow us to help them financially in advance of the child being born, thus avoiding the compound financial hit of regular child care and disabilty healthcare (which is already inaccessible and expensive enough as it is to drown disabled adults in debt)

and most able-bodied people saw that and thought "It's so great ! Now we can get rid disabled people without having to kill them !"

#eugenics tw #to be clear i am pro-choice and pro-bodily autonomy all the way #and i believe that bodily autonomy includes aborting because you believe disabled people shouldnt live #but that doesnt stop me from not liking the mindset #anyway #disability rights are human rights

The problem with "you can choose to wear a mask or not," is that masks mostly protect other people. So if you choose not to mask, you're actually removing someone's ability to try to protect themselves.

We know that if you wear a mask it does protect you, but only marginally. In the end, it's everyone wearing masks that prevents the spread of covid from one person to another. This is because if you have covid the mask catches the viral particles you are exhaling before they can get into the air, where covid is airborne and hangs in the air like smoke for several hours.

People who are masking are mostly protecting you. If you're in the presence of someone wearing a mask, it's literally common courteousy to do the same.

The thing I didn't understand about being disabled until I became disabled is how terrifying it is to know that when things get bad I am utterly reliant on other people. I almost felt ashamed for that fear, too, as if *I* am the reason I might have to worry about not having close community and loved ones someday.

But then I realized that it is absolutely batshit wild that the scariest part of having a poorly understood chronic neurological condition is not the pain, discomfort, etc -- but that I, a human being, the most social animal ever, might not have enough other humans around to help care for me. Or that I might not be able to *afford* to pay them to be. On a planet with 8 billion other people.

What a mockery of a society we have created.

Well said. A lot of veterans come home with mobility aids and prosthetic limbs and corrupt self serving politicians claim to support the troops, while, at the same time, screwing them over once they're of no use to them. Disability rights are also veteran rights

if you can't push yourself past pain and fatigue to do the things you love, that's not your fault. other people may be able and willing to do so, but not doing that is a completely fair response to disability. it's kind of in the name - lack of ability.

you don't need to push yourself in order to love it. not doing it anymore doesn't mean it doesn't matter to you that much or you just aren't good enough at it. if you can find any way to make engaging in your passions more accessible, you have a right to do that. accessibility is a human right.

you are disabled. and disability is not a moral failing. this goes double when it comes to the things we love, the things that make us who we are.
