(Tw for ableism that isn't explicity described)

I want to talk about some of the struggles of being an AAC user. I won't cover all of it obviously, because that would take an intense amount of time. I assume it'll all be covered by my blog at some point, spread throughout lots of posts.

Some AAC users (Including myself at times) experience frustration and difficulty with their AAC (whether high tech or low tech), perhaps because it is difficult for them, or because it takes too long. They might also face stigma and discrimination due to being nonspeaking. This can lead to feeling isolated, frustrated, and not understood. I have experienced both quite a bit, as well as embarrassment because I worry about being viewed as an "I-Pad kid". I am currently working on being less embarrassed, and something that has been helpful for me is seeing other AAC users online (though in person would be even cooler), and adding fun stickers to my case.

Another hard thing faced by some AAC users is the need to constantly educate others about their communication needs and how to interact with them. This can be exhausting and emotionally taxing, especially when you don't have friends, family, etc. near you who understand and support you. I am lucky to have those types of people. I hope my Tumblr blog can reduce these types of scenarios, even slightly.

I also feel sad because I don't see people like me represented much on tv, and when we are (which isnt often) the entire show is usually about our disablity.

With Foug Fords announcements of electric vehicles and batteries being built by VW and wanting to relax mining environmental regulations why? So I took a look to see how clean your backyard is

"But they can't just not hire you or fire you for being disabled!"

Oh yes they can. And they do. All the time and everywhere. They'll never say "because you're disabled". It's always "you're not meeting the standards and demands of the job", every time.

It's why, as much as I'd like to work again when I'm back in the States, I don't think I can go back to teaching. "If you can't handle what it takes to be a teacher then you shouldn't have become one in the first place" will be what I'm going to run into, because no school wants to accommodate a disabled teacher.

This entire thread is horrifying. I was so lucky that my ochem professor let me take the final the next day after I missed it (and in that case it was my own fault, read the time wrong and thought it was later than it actually was)

#professors and grade school teachers who do this shit should be fired #not even joking there needs to be federal protections in place to prevent this from happening to students and workers #like blatant disability discrimination aside its still fucked for people to be punished for a car accident or for a death in the family

Faces you get in a wheelchair

Fun little thing I made, most of the main body of text is meant as joking or sarcastic, especially the second to lay slide

DISCLAIMERS:

I'm saying these because on tiktok everyone felt the need to complain about it so:

-"saying you hate able bodied people is just as bad!" No it's not, come back to me when able bodied people are prejudiced against and physically refused access because of the of their disability and a lack of access built into our society, thanks x

-"I dont usually look at people!" Totally fine, do the same to disabled people. What I was getting at here was how able bods who are looking away are doing it because they feel awkward around disabled people and usually make a whole ass scene. There's a difference between someone who's generally a bit shy and someone who's looking away from you BECAUSE you're disabled.

That's all enjoy kings queens and regals especially if you're disabled I love you.

You know what makes me so angry. The fact that there are so many disabled people out there who are noted as “refused treatment” because the medical professionals that were supposed to help them were unwelcoming, condescending, or actively harmful to them. Or because they knew that the treatment being offered wasn’t what they needed because they had either tried it already (and weren’t listened to when they said that) or it was a bare mininum/half-assed treatment idea from a doctor who doesn’t care enough to do any proper investigating.

We don't talk enough about how forced sterilization of disabled people is legal in many states.

Disabled people deserve bodily autonomy as much as anyone else.

I'll forever be upset about how Elemental (2023 Pixar movie) flopped so hard, and it's not even its fault.

Let's be real, going against Across the Spiderverse would be a deathblow for any animated movie, but the marketing team REALLY didn't help matters. Not only did the trailers barely show up (to the point my friends DIDN'T EVEN KNOW IT EXISTED), the trailers also did such a poor job representing its actual story.

A lot of people were turned off by the "unoriginal premise" as well as the "forbidden romance", and I can't even blame them but no!!! The story is so much more than just "ooo they can't fall in love because they're (gasp) FIRE AND WATER?!?!?!?" and "what if (insert concept) has emotions but elements this time"!!!!!

At the heart of it all is a personal immigrant story. A story about two fire people moving to another place in order to start a new and hopefully better life (aka literally immigrants). A story about their daughter who feels in debt to them for making the sacrificd to leave their home. A story about her feeling like she'll have to sacrifice her whole life and her dreams in order to repay them and make them happy.

Not to mention how Asian-coded it is!!! The director, Peter Sohn, is clearly writing from his perspective as a Korean-American immigrant, and as an Asian immigrant, I resonated so unbelievably hard with Ember's story. It really felt like the movie held up a mirror in front of me. I've never felt this seen in a movie before this one.

And it feels so good!!! I'm so sad that a lot of people will be missing it out because the marketing team did such a terrible job at their literal jobs. If more people gave it a chance, they'll likely find a story that truly made them feel heard.

Also the romance is really cute. Like I don't typically seek out romance stories, but damn that was good food, that was good fluff. I think it's also a great allegory for interracial couples, but I'm not in an interracial relationship, so I won't overstep too much!

Long story short, if you're unsure on whether you really want to see this movie or not, hear it from me who saw it twice:

Go Watch Elemental!!! You will not regret it!!!

#THIS MOVIE WAS MADE FOR ME AND OTHER ASIAN IMMIGRANTS FOR REAL FOR REAL!!!!#also obviously it's not perfect #I understand the concerns with how fire is dangerous so the allegory may be flimsy #but they addressed it in the film!!!#also honestly there's also a good disability angle to look at here?#especially with how fire people are trying to live in a world that refuses to accomodate them #and would rather discriminate them #or shun them from society to the point they have to make their own community #but I'm not disabled so again #i won't overstep!!#elemental #pixar elemental #elemental 2023 #pixar #review #rant #opinion #commentary #chris p fried rambles

angry at the system so very much. disabled lives are not disposable. i am not trash for you to throw away. i am alive. i feel. i think. i want. i need. i breathe. stop suffocating us with abuse and neglect. stop sectioning us away from the rest of society. there is no excuse. there is no justification. there is only reason, and your reason is wrong. it's cruel. it's inhumane. something needs to change. everything needs to change, and pity and platitudes are not enough.

One of the (many) things that makes disabled people the most marginalised community is that there will always be some kind of degree to which a good number of people will think that discrimination against us is okay. That it’s even “healthy”.

Think of separated entrances for disabled people into buildings. You’d never have separated entrances for black people today because history taught us well.

But it’s okay to have a different entrance for disabled people because a ramp looks ugly in the front or it “can’t be build”. So we have to go to the back, slalom through garbage bins, get lost in some corridor.

People justify this.

People justify institutionalisation of disabled people because “that’s the best way to take care of them” (breaking news, no it’s not).

People justify keeping disabled people outside of certain places, venues, fields, experiences because “it’s too dangerous”, “we can’t think of everybody”, “it’s too hard” yada yada.

And many don’t the see the real problem.

People justify the sterilisation of disabled people “because they can’t take care of children/their periods/whatever”.’

Like, we are not even considered enough for our own bodily autonomy.

Even when a disabled person is murdered by a family member the killing is justified and the family member who killed is “the poor thing who couldn’t bear with it anymore” and the murdered disabled person becomes “the angel who is now free from the life’s pains”. But no one asked them if they enjoyed their life, if they wanted to live.

Because a disabled life is not supposed to be good, right?

It’s always “for the sake of us”, “for our safety”, “to protect us” as if we can’t take decisions, as if we aren’t human beings with feelings, dreams, choices, desires, needs.

Nothing done against us can be intended for our best interest or our own good. It’s for the good of the abled-bodied society.

Period.

so apparently, the US census is about to make 40% of disabled people disappear in its data.

they gonna change the disability-related questions, and then only count the two most negative answers as a disability. and also the new version will do even worse than the old version at counting disabled ppl who are chronically and/or mentally ill. and just in time for long covid to create more of exactly those kinds of disabled ppl [/tinfoil hat]

article about the change they're trying to make:

on how to leave a public comment to try to make that not happen:

Doctor Beverly Crusher @SpaceDocMom Almost nobody fakes a terrible medical condition for attention. Doctors who believe most patients are faking for attention should get better educated or find other jobs where this arrogant assumption doesn't harm so many people. emojis: black heart, blue heart, masked 2:26 PM · Oct 30, 2023
