shout out to “gross” disabled people.

people who can’t shower/bathe people who can’t shave people who can’t wash their clothes people who need help going to the bathroom people who have nasty habits (biting nails, picking nose, etc) people who can’t brush their teeth people who can’t go to the doctor people who can’t clean their room people who can’t make their beds people who vomit a lot people who wet the bed people who constantly have diarrhea people who’s physical deformities are seen as repulsive

and every other kind of person I missed that deserves to be here too.

you are people, first and foremost. your thoughts deserve to be heard, discussed, acknowledged, no matter what. you are not lesser. you are just another person. you should never be ignored for what you can/can’t do. you deserve care.

to abled people: check yourself. make sure you listen. and you can reblog, just don’t derail. maybe don’t add on, either.

EDIT: reblog this version instead, please.

anyway um. shoutout to disabled people who move their bodies in ways that are considered "wrong" or "abnormal" regardless of the cause or how it's classified. and this isn't limited to just ambulation.

paralysis. dystonia. gait abnormalities. people with muscle weakness and/or atrophy. people with brain damage. rotational differences. clubfoot. knocked knees. other limb and bodily differences. functional deformities that affect movement. tissue contracture. muscular dystrophies. spasticity. impaired proprioception, balance, and/or coordination. chronic pain. spinal disorders. dyspraxia/DCD. apraxia. ataxia. dystaxia. tourette's syndrome and other tic disorders. conversion symptoms. tremors. neurodegenerative disease. degenerative bone diseases. joint instability. myoclonus. parkinsonism. tardive dyskenisia. various other neurological problems.

...and the list goes on.

personally i feel a bit surreal when my body not doesn't always move in the ways i want it to because that straightforward connection that's there for abled people has been disrupted in a myriad of ways. but no one is gross, ugly, or scary for being unable to move their body in ways that society considers "normal" and "healthy." no one deserves to be gawked/stared at or treated like they're subhuman because of the way their body moves.

it's okay for us to exist.

to any disabled person starting school soon, remember to take it easy on yourself. the education system was designed for, and by, abled people and is incredibly inaccessible, especially for physically disabled students.

advocate for yourself and each other. put spikes and stickers on your mobility aid. tell people to fuck off when they touch you without asking. demand your teachers and school accommodate you. find people like you and stick close to them. remember to put your safety and health above all else.

i know the school year is just starting, but it's important to remember to take care of yourself. drink water, eat plenty of food, wear a mask (if you don't homeschool), and don't compare yourself to your abled peers. what you can do is enough.

what you can do is enough.

let's survive this semester.

happy disability pride month to disabled people that don’t prioritize a cure or diagnosis

happy disability pride month to ambulatory aid users/people with invisible disabilities who have had the validity of their conditions questioned

happy disability pride month to disabled people with medical trauma

happy disability pride month to disabled people who have struggled loving a body that doesn’t always support them

happy disability pride month to people with chronic illness who felt they had to hide or minimize their pain in order to be liked

happy disability pride month to disabled people who have been criticized for speaking about their disability “too much” or “making it your whole personality”

happy disability pride month to disabled people whose disabilities are messy, chaotic, and difficult for abled people to understand

happy disability pride month to disabled people who thought they could never live a happy, fulfilled life and are doing so anyway.

Making a positivity post for the non-ambulatory wheelchair users!

I hope you have a super good day, especially if you:

Can't walk even with other mobility aids besides wheelchairs

Need heavy-duty stuff to transfer like hoists

Need to use the extra wheelchair features like tilt-in-place or elevate

Are bedbound without your wheelchair

Never learned to walk

Or anything like that!

We are super awesome and cool, even without the walking, and sometimes even the standing!

#positivity for anon and for you #non ambulatory wheelchair user #full time wheelchair user #wheelchair user #physical disability #actually disabled #disability positivity #disability pride #disabled positivity

Disability positivity is recognizing your disability, and adapting to it. It is the small wins each day, the things you accomplish.

Getting out of bed is an accomplishment.

Completing that task, however small it may seem, is an accomplishment.

Reading that book, is an accomplishment.

Making that thing, is an accomplishment.

Cooking dinner, is an accomplishment.

And even when you can't do all of that, just remembering to have patience with yourself and that productivity does not equal to your value as a person, is an accomplishment.

Shoutout to paralyzed people. Those with complete paralysis, incomplete paralysis; Those whose paralysis was caused from accidents, brain injuries, strokes, spinal cord injuries, neurological illnesses; Those with paraplegia, quadriplegia, hemiplegia, tetraplegia. Who were born paralyzed or became paralyzed later in life.

Those who have a carer, those who use a wheelchair full-time, those who use crutches or canes and those whose mobility aid is a hospital bed. Those with incontinence, who wear adult diapers, ostomy bags and catheters. You are not "lesser" for needing care or not being able to live independently. You deserve to live a comfortable life with autonomy and dignity.

We rock. We're fucking amazing. I love you.

Completely unrelated to my previous post: I had an older lady come up to me as I was exiting my therapy appointment and waiting for my ride, I had my rollator with all my stickers and my butterfly bag on it. She also had a rollator- and as she got closer;

She grinned and said "Race ya."

yall it was the highlight of my day. I didn't get to thank her for the giggle it got out of me before she was already inside the hospital building. But it was one of the first positive interactions I had with taking my rollator with me out of the house.

maybe things will be alright.

hi disabled friends. here's list of minimal things you can do to increase your hygiene & comfort today, if possible ♡

put on at least 1 clean(er) article of clothing (ex: underwear)

brush your hair

rub your teeth with a towel

rinse your mouth with water

splash your face with water

grab a clean(er) blanket

flip your pillowcase to the side you haven't been using

change your posture, stretch

put on a gentle light, or draw the curtains

allow yourself at least a few minutes in a quiet environment

put on some soft background noise (ex: ambient sound, lofi)

try to pick out some pleasant sensory input (ex: birds chirping, how soft your clothes/blanket is)

and if you cant do any of these, dont guilt yourself. disability isnt a failing, and you're doing the best you can!

(yes, this post includes chronically ill and neurodivergent people! you're disabled too!)

It’s okay if you as a disabled person are not independent. It’s okay if you need help doing even the most “basic” of tasks. You’re not less of a person, or less worthy for it. You are not any less lovable, and you certainly are not a burden.

It’s absolutely vile that there are people who believe no longer needing help is the absolute goal of living with or treating a disability. Independence isn’t the goal. Happiness is, quality of life is, being able to enjoy things day to day is. If you need a helping hand to get there, that is more than alright.

You are not gross, or bad, if you struggle with hygenine. Its okay! Last night I brushed my teeth, which was a big achievement for me! Whatever achievement you made, I'm proud of you. And if you didnt make an achievement, I'm still proud of you. I love you so much, and your ability to take care of yourself is irrelevant to that love. /p

being a system is going through years and years of abuse and torment. being a system is sitting in the shower sobbing because you don’t know who or where you are. being a system is losing year-long friends because they refuse to believe you. being a system is looking the worst parts of you in the face and going “i think we can change”. being a system is holding a child version of yourself and repeating “i love you” over and over again.

being a system is hugging yourself and saying, “hey, we’re gonna be okay.”
