#systemic abelism
I don't care if your 9, 20, 35, or fucking 50. Your patents can go to the doctor with you. It's called your patient advocate.
See I have bad reactions to medications and sometimes those conversations with doctors go
"so what was your reaction?"
"Honestly I cannot remember"
Sometimes it's symptoms like brain fog that causes me to not remember. Sometimes I lose time. Sometimes I just sleep so much. There's a lot of reasons why I can't remember. But I always remember it was really bad the doctor should know I had a really bad reaction.
And I do not have a partner that can go to appointments with me.
So I bring a parent.
Why? Because when the doctor asks "What was the reaction" the parent actually remembers.
But the number of doctors that have infantilized me "You're a grown adult you don't need your parent."
And the thing is. I know what the doctor is doing when they do this. My parents won't let the doctor dismiss my symptoms because my parents are the ones that have to drive me to the emergency room when they get too bad. But if the doctor refuses to let my parent in "You're a grown adult" the "diagnosis" I get is always "Oh, it's just anxiety".
And I feel like doctors know when I'm having brain fog and therefore they can take advantage of me like that because I'm too confused to argue with them. "Oh. Why do you let your doctor talk to you like that". YEAH THAT'S A SYMPTOM OF MY MIGRAINES. THAT'S KINDA WHY I'M GOING TO THE DOCTOR.

A little rant about evacuation systems.
Today, my building did a fire drill. We all knew it was a fucking drill. So, I, a cane user who would rather keep his skull intact, figured it would be safest to use the elevator as it wasn't an actual fire. Everyone yelled at me 'you can't use the elevator in an emergency.' Also, I tested that damned elevator with another person without getting in to check it was still on. I used it and was fine. If I had used the stairs, I likely would have broken a bone from falling.
After that, I got to thinking; if I had been in a wheelchair in a fire, I'd probably just die. And I wondered why there aren't any ramps in the fire escapes. I was overcome with anger realizing disabled people are seen as expendable. I got in trouble for kicking a dent into the office radiator but I don't care. I'm just pissed that anyone thinks I would break my skull for a fucking drill.
I ranted to someone who said 'they're just following protocol, not everyone is conspiring against you.'
That fucking did it honestly. Like everyone mostly has my best interests but the way the building and the systems and procedures are built want me to die! Do you not fucking get it??? The problem is the systems and not the people. You're so fucking dense and shallow.

The moral compass leaving my body when I'm psychotic (sarcastic)(this does not happen Istg)
I can't comprehend how people seem to believe that schizophrenia = murderer?? many years I have been alive and schizospec, never have I hurt somebody else. It's almost like these disorders are complex and nuanced, and you can't boil people down to "crazy" and "not crazy"

TW: Ablism, all around icky things about our dad and ourselves.
Growing up is realizing that our dad is ableist. He will scream and berate us for “not wanting to” clean our room, when in actuality, very time ANYONE tries to clean our room, not only is it extremely difficult and we have a breakdown, but it’s never up to our dad’s standards. There’s always something to nitpick. It’s also realizing that it’s our fault the dishes make noise when we pick them up. Growing up is realizing that we’ll always have to text first. Growing up is shit and I want to go home.
Anonymous because I don’t feel like being known.
We know how this one is and I'm sorry that you're having to deal with this. it isn't fun and it never will be, but it isn't your fault that this is happening.
You deserve to be treated with kindness and compassion. Houses don't need to look like magazine covers, they need to be lived in. I wish people understood the difference and that some people struggle a lot to keep a room clean. We struggle with it to and we refuse to clean the more people tell us to, it's not because we don't want to. It's because we've been working on getting our motivation to come back to clean and then something is said which leads to all of that time and process to be shot back down to zero.
Your father is wrong for the way he treats you even if someone wants to slide into the comments and say "he can't help it, something caused him to be this way," that doesn't excuse the behavior and I won't have people trying to defend your father here.
I hope things get better or that you can get out soon. I wish you well with your days.

Anyway.
I’ve never actually been an asshole to anyone, unless they were an asshole to me first. Your looking for Pearl, who will be an asshole to anyone she can find, for no reason.

i think to defeat belos once and for all the gang should quote shit from the king james version of the bible and watch him get completely obliterated
belos: it was for the greater good
luz: John 3:15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.

FedNow will be released July 1st and when it's implemented the US government will be able to see ALL exchanges of money that aren't cash payments. Which means if you're disabled and on SSI or SSDI and are trying to crowdfund your expenses (because SSI and SSDI don't pay enough to survive) the US government will be able to see ALL of that and deducted that from your SSI payments (meaning you'll get less money).
Please sign this petition to end FedNow.
I'm not even on disability or at risk of needing it. But this is a huge invasion of privacy. Especially because a lot of my meds have to be ordered and delivered by mail (I get them from a special compounding pharmacy) which means I don't have the option of cash payments and it's none of the government's goddamn business how much my meds cost.
I looked to see if it was open to public commentary but it's not (commentary closed in 2021). So please call your representatives. Even if you have conservative representatives. Even Republicans are hating this proposal as a huge invasion of privacy.
Call them. Email them. Don't let that social anxiety get to you. They're YOUR representatives and they are here to represent YOU.

[fun fact!!! taking someone’s primary method of communication away, even as a joke, is not cool or funny!]
[i am fronting on my own today, and everything has been going fine. i’ve been using the notes app on my phone to chat with both teachers and my classmates. i was sat with a small group of friends at lunch and was halfway through typing out a sentence when a friend grabs my phone and moves it out of reach.
i get stressed very easily,, and i was very visibly uncomfortable, but i had absolutely no way to communicate that. i know basic BSL, but even if i could sign, they would not have been able to understand it. i felt so unbelievably helpless.]
[moral of the story, don’t do that. if felt like my voice had just been ripped away from me.
if i had more communication with headspace in that moment, i am 90% sure one of our protectors would have ripped into them for this. raagh.]

hey!
Tumblr media
reminder that if you see a post like this anywhere, recognize that its a term for systems (people with did) only, and you STILL decide to spread hate in the comments, thats ableism!
stop hating on terms that arent meant for you, and that youll never fully understand
and furthrmore, if you identify with one of these despite not being a system, youre also ableist! stop using labels that werent meant for you!
