actually while I think about it, I want to give a shout out to every congenitally disabled person whose disability was not discovered until they were a teenager or adult, and spent their entire lives up to that point being told they were lazy, stupid, uncoordinated, or not trying hard enough

shout out to all of us who should have been helped from the day we were born, and instead were just made to feel like we were worthless for not being able to perform like our abled peers

"walkable cities" would be cool sure but, lets not forget other accessible features like wheelchair ramps and ya know

more benches and general places to sit because some people like me can't stand long without pain? . Is it really an accessible city if it only is "walkable" and caters to abled people? I don't think so. People seem to forget this fact when talking about the walkable cities talk I've noticed ..The disappearance of more and more benches to the point now to where there really are none (at least where I live unless its a park) is very disturbing.

‼️please help me get a wheelchair‼️

hello, my name is leo, or more commonly known as ‘lav’ on here.

i’ve been dealing with debilitating chronic pain for over 10 years and i really need a wheelchair. i haven’t gotten much help from my healthcare system, being fat and afab has really fucked me over while trying to seek medical attention..

i am still fighting to completely figure out what’s wrong with me, but for now i know that i have several bulging discs in my lower back, as well as scoliosis. (as well as medically recognised POTS).

my pain is getting worse and worse, and i barely leave my home since walking and being upright in general hurts so much. a wheelchair would improve my life immensely, both physically and mentally.

i am currently on disability benefits, which pretty much is the lowest income group in sweden, and saving up for a wheelchair myself would take a very long time.. i will of course also be saving up as much as i can and putting into an account meant for wheelchair funds.

so i’m asking you to donate if you want to and if you are financially able to, and if not, please reblog this.

i have found a good chair that is also accessible to a fat person, and i need 7111 SEK (around 650$) to cover the cost of the chair & the shipping. i have started a gofundme that i’ll be sharing in this post, and i welcome all help, donating just a little helps, and reblogging and sharing the gofundme in general helps immensely too.

thank you so much for reading💜

EDIT: GOAL HAD BEEN REACHED. THANK YOU SO MUCH

SOOO today is positivity wednesday (totaly made up by me don't worry)! And don't forget to remember that You are absolutely stunning...

specially if you use a cane

specially if you use a walker

specially if you use crutches

specially if you use a wheelchair

specially if you use back aids for scoliosis and posture issues

specially if you have a prothesis

specially if you use ANY aids i forgot to mention

No, I did not mean "even if" instead of "specially if", your aids don't equal ugly or weird, you are pretty, handsome, beautiful, whatever it is that you prefer. You are not any less just because of your mobility aid. And though it may seem obvious, it's nice to be reminded about this FACT.

shoutout to people with spine curvature conditions - especially ones that are quite noticeable, or ones that require supportive wear. you don't look like a monster. you don't look like a freak. you don't look foolish. you don't need to hide your body, or feel ashamed.

you and your body are just as worthy of compassion as everyone else. you're beautiful, and you and your body are doing their best. you are seen, heard, and loved. it's okay.

Let’s talk about cripple punk. All I see are people trying to use the word cripple, but not paying attention to what cripple punk actually means.

It was created on here, in 2014 by Tyler Trewhella.

Edit: “It challenges the idea that people with disabilities need to appear morally good to deserve the absolute bare minimum support of ableds”— that we have to exist as submissive and let everyone look down on us in one way or another. It’s about the concept that we don’t have to look a certain way or act a certain way to be valued as a disabled person. We don’t have to conform to the innocent disabled person who can do no wrong, and might as well be considered a godsend child at that point.

It advocates for cripples who don’t allow ableds to try to harm us, who aren’t polite, and who will take your knees (oh it’s me) if you’re being an ableist piece of shit, who take drugs and exist in a body or life outside of society’s standards. It’s demanding disabled people, no matter the disabilities, be treated as humans, not an angelic inspiration.

Cripple punk is so much more than just applying a label to yourself.

Sometimes it feels like people kinda forget your pain when it’s chronic.

When someone healthy/able bodied gets sick or injured, people will pour out their support and understanding right away, which is good, obviously.

But after a while, people get tired of hearing about it.

They get tired of having to work around it, tired of having to be understanding.

But just because your empathy fades, doesn’t mean our pain and grief does.

I’m so, so tired of my pain. Of having to be understood. Of not having any chance to have a proper career, or dreams, or relationship.

I’m tired of my hands not working enough for me to write, draw and craft, which is what is normally keeping me going.

They just keep getting worse.

I’m tired of the pains related to my endometriosis and pcos making me unable to eat properly, get any exercise, and for making me bedridden more and more these days.

I’m tired of having to beg for support in what little buisniess I manage to make sure I survive during my rough recovery periods after surgeries and bad flare up’s.

I’m tired of knowing my life will not be a long one.

I’m tired of complaining, of being in pain, of grieving, of feeling like a burden.

There are no breaks for me.

That doesn’t mean I get used to it. I will never be used to it.

And I think I should be allowed to talk about all of this without feeling like a burden.

I probably won’t ever get to that point, but this is me trying to get there.

By being open and honest, and hoping that at least one person takes the time to read.

If you’re still here, still reading, thank you. It means the world.

Be kind to those around you who are like me.

We’re not happy about our situations, either, but having people willing to stick around and listen makes it a little easier to survive.

Thank you ❤️‍🩹

it's so frustrating when you are a young person with an invisible disability and it's acting up but again it isn't obvious from the outside (AND YOU'RE YOUNG) so people won't believe your reasoning for backing out of a task

#chronic pain #chronically ill #cpunk #cripple punk #scoliosis #invisible disability #it's even more frustrating when the people are your own family #they're aware of your illness yet they keep bringing up your young age

I feel like people really need to accept and realize that old people do not have the monopoly (?) on disability , mobility aid usage and chronic illnesses . They expect that since you're young you should be able to do things that abled people can do, whats wild is that I've had that response even from abled people who know I'm physically disabled like my mom going "you're young , you have a young back so you can do -insert random thing here- " or people telling me that walking and standing long is "good for you , you're young its not going to hurt you" bruh I have chronic pain , standing and walking long does in fact hurt me ..shit even just existing hurts because my pain is all the time . Young disabled people aren't just "lazy" or "exaggerating" 😅 , its kind of like when you look up mobility aids in general or anything even related to them at all really you mostly just see pictures of old people with canes, crutches etc and I in my mind go "young people can be disabled too.." .
