I wonder when people are going to finally understand how exclusionary the disability archetype is. Not everyone is a full-time wheelchair user.

A back-ally entrance by the dumpsters is not access.

Neither is the freight elevator.

Life with chronic pain is like "my body is on fire but I guess I'll function anyway"

Can we please not shame chronically ill and disabled people for canceling plans at the last minute?

Trust me, we would love to “just do the thing”. Sometimes, we think we can do the thing until it’s time to do the thing, and then we realize that we can’t actually do the thing. And that’s OK.

I wish abled people understood that it will always be more annoying for us to explain why we can’t do a thing than it will be for them to do the thing for us or without us. 

Disabled people: We need access!

Abled people:

Can we all agree that disabled people deserve better

This is your semi regular reminder that disability doesn’t always look like someone sitting in a wheelchair. That’s an ableist and harmful angle to take.

What are some of the worst and most harmful tropes in fiction? Bonus points for responses involving minority characters!

Reminder that the disabled experience is not always a pleasant one. Some days you'll wake up and wish it wasn't yours. And that's OK. I'm with you.

Boosting, this is important and I want OP and other trans folks to get as much information as possible 

fellow enbies/trans men/transmasc, is there a way/ dose of testosterone to just lower my voice?? i am pretty okay w my body but my voice gives me a little bit of dysphoria, is there anything you would recomend apart from voice masculinizing lessons??

Lately, the hardest thing for me to deal with has been how utterly broken society seems to find me and others like me. How expendable we seem to be in a world not built for us.

I hardly ever used to think about this. Now it's on my mind all the time, and every day seems darker than the last.

Is it really too much to ask to be treated like a whole- ass human being?

I'm tired.

HAPPY 10th, XIV!

Slightly late, but I wanted to do at least something for the game's 10th anniversary Rising before the moment had passed.

It's been a *while* since I've done any XIV art, but I'm actually happy with this one.

I feel for you buddy. Creative slumps can be so frustrating. Just know that you’ve put so much work into learning this skill and no one can take that away from you. Even if it’s hard to come up with ideas sometimes, whenever one does come to mind and you draw it, it’s always beautiful and I’m always amazed. ❤️

I've been stewing in this since last week by now, but... I went back and counted out how many finished pieces I've drawn this year, and it's down from what I did last year, which is down from what I did the year before. This might be a record low, even.

It's honestly pretty sad, I feel like a hobby I put so many years into is just slipping away from me, and even though I have time to draw, I just can't seem to make anything happen. I either have absolutely zero ideas, or none that I want to draw in that moment, or it's all things that just feel beyond me.

Nothing works, and I can't "just draw anything" when I feel like this, either...

The thing about being disabled is, we’re not just hated. Hatred would take too much effort. The truth is, people don’t care AT ALL.

We’re pushed from jobs and schools, denied accommodations, left to die during pandemics, forced to lose our benefits if we fall in love.

Nobody cares.
