call me Celeste or Jinx

a lot of the most ableist people in the world seem to be the parents of disabled people, which i find to be quite interesting..

rare disability is a spectrum. some disabilities having only 3 recorded cases doesn't make disabilities that are 1 in 2000 (the legal definition of a rare disability) not rare. you can talk about the difference in experiences between different levels of rarity without scare quotes labeling comparatively common rare disabilities as somehow not rare.

I also wish they would just take no for an answer, like it's great you are trying to include me and make adaptations, but I simply cannot participate and that's okay.

The "hey, your brain was being fried recently here's a refresher on things we talked about" is SUCH a disabled friendship thing. Like, people doing ECT, people with migraines, people with brain fog, when you're delirious from either mental or physical illness or the meds used to treat them, trauma... it's a damn near universal experience because of all the different ways your brainmeats can forget. And it's such an action of love to fill someone in on all the "unimportant" things that only really matter because they're important to you.

I can’t wait till this is on my dash again on December 24th tbh.

It’s a date post, bestie, it’s gonna get reblogged every December 24th until this site collapses with the heat death of the universe.

scheduled last year on christmas day XD

‘ She breasted boobily to the stairs, and titted downwards’ is the greatest fucking sentence I have ever read.

THE ORIGINAL??

(smh) Never thought I’d see it in the wild. Yet here it is. :)

This is called dignity of risk and it's a big topic in disability rights spaces. id elaborate but im fuckin wiped

it's always funny how people will advocate for bodily autonomy when it comes to certain things but then shy away from anything they personally wouldn't do to their own body. like yeah, that's why it's your body buddy. i can do what i want with mine.

there’s also no moral superiority for never making unhealthy choices. you’re not better than everyone else because you don’t drink or smoke or take risks. imo you’re kind of boring for only ever making the safe, healthy choice. I want people around me who understand when I do things that are bad for me and make their own bad choices too.
