HAPPY CABINET MAN FUCKING DIES DAY!!!!

Shout out to the ten year old who just got diagnosed. Shout out to the housebound fourteen year old. Shout out to the eighteen year old who can’t go to the university they wanted. Shout out to the twenty two year old who can’t get a job. Shout out to the twenty six year old with a caretaker. Shout out to the thirty year old who can’t buy their own house.

Happy Disability Pride to the people who have illnesses that get dismissed in the medical world, like fibromyalgia, hypermobility syndrome, etc. Here’s to us for our bodies injuring us and then not being believed about the injury. Here’s to having to fight with every nurse just to get to the doctor and hope that the doctor will take it seriously. Here’s to the clear rudeness and disbelief we hear from receptionists over the phone when we explain our injury, to the dismissive emergency orthopedics who look at us like we have two heads.

nothing has been more important to my being queer than when i went to my first pride parade, got seperated from my group, had a panic attack about it and was sitting on the side of the road holding a tiny genderfluid flag and freaking out. then this six foot five drag queen in four inch heels appeared from literally nowhere and sat down next to me. i, this scared-shitless trans bi kid at pride for the first time, very nervously told her she looked pretty and i told her my name and that i got lost and didn't feel like i should be at pride and she held my hand and said "oh, honey, everybody deserves to be here, especially you. pride is for everybody who's ever gotten lost, who's been scared of who they are or where they are. you think we never been scared before? pride's for you, honey, because you're scared. you don't have to be proud right now, but you're gonna be one day, honey, i'm sure of it."
