for disability pride month i wanna give a shoutout to assistive tools involved in hygeine and the bathroom. things like incontinence pads, adult diapers, catheters, accessible showers, assisted bathing, etc. i think a lot of people see those aspects of disability as undignified or only assosciate them with the elderly which i think is a real shame because they're an everyday reality for a lot of people. and i think its wonderful that those people have options to make their life easier.

the thing about caring about ableism and fighting for disability rights, is that you can't center it about just your disabilities. i'm not d/Deaf. i still care whether an event has sign interpreters. i don't have photosensitive epilepsy. i still think that strobing lights are 99% of the time totally unnecessary and serve as a needless barrier to photosensitive people. i can transfer to a toilet mostly independently. i still think that public accessible bathrooms should have lifts and adult changing tables in them. you can't stop your disability activism where it stops benefitting you. that's not activism. that's selfishness
