the “sexy lamp test” but for disabled folks: if you can replace your disabled character with a beloved pet dog that needs an expensive surgery to survive then you have to throw out your manuscript 

reblogging one of my most underrated posts: the dying dog test

I’m gonna make my medical school advisees do this on their application essays too I think.

body positivity can be so hard when ur chronically ill like ‘your body loves you and is doing its best to care for you ❤️’ NO THE FUCK IT IS NOT

my grandmother said something that’s resonated with me. she said “people don’t understand that when they’re ill, they go to sleep knowing they’ll wake one day soon feeling better. you have go to sleep every night hoping, and it never happens.”

That is a very powerful message. And hard for people without illnesses to comprehend.

AN HOUR???????

I love how everyone is still asking hey so my symptoms are actually symptoms? Even if I feel only x amount of pain after x amount of time? BUDDY THE NORM IS FEELING MILD DISCOMFORT AT MOST AFTER STANDING FOR AN HOUR AND THEY RECOVER WITHIN A FEW HOURS TO A DAY

Hey everyone, remember that being sick or healing from injuries is a hard time for your body. You have to eat a lot and lay still and be kind to yourself! [large neon sign that says HYPOCRITE descends from the ceiling and points at me] Hey what the heck what's this who put that there

(Smugly after failing at a task) and they said it could be done.

busting out the chronic illness lingerie today. you know we got the compression socks, compression wrist wraps, compression hip support. And the shapeless baggy sweats and hoodie to complete the look

you guys are going to sleep at night?? I just die and respawn at the start without all my shit every day

this is what it feels like to be chronically ill

"are you gonna take those pills the rest of your life?" you mean my molecules? why surely you wouldn't deprive me of my molecules. they are shaped exactly just so, you see. my molecules

do you know how hard someone had to work to make my molecules into their molecule shapes??

they invented a new shape of molecule just for me and you want me to what, not absorb it???

reblog to remind somebody about their molecules

I have heard this referred to by some in the disability advocacy profession as “duelling disabilities” and it’s definitely something I wish people would be more mindful of when discussing accessibility.

another useful term is “competing access needs” or incompatible access needs.

This is also one of several good reasons the phrase ‘fully accessible’ means nothing without further context. Your venue is fully accessible? To whom?

I think what's wrong with me is that my dad loved making boiled peanuts but when you say "boiled peanuts" in a thick Mississippi Delta accent it sounds like "bald penis" and we were forbidden from acknowledging that

This gentleman has spelled peanuts three different ways on his stall.

One of these rolls up to the parking lot by the Dollar Tree, Goodwill, and Aaron's every summer. Just down the road from the sno-ball truck by the outdoor roller-skating rink (location, location, location). Brave soul to drive up to a yankee state like Missouri to sell bald penis, but we are appreciative 🤣

It is a universals of the South: If something on the sign is spelled wrong, the food will be the best you've ever had.

[ID: Photo of a hot boiled peanuts stall built out of a trailer hauled by a truck. "Hot Boiled Peanuts" is written on the stall three times, with "peanuts" spelled "peanuts", "penuts", and "p-nuts". /end ID]

I WANT TO TRY BALD PENIS SO BAD NOW!!!
