For everyone who has been asking me for this!

Me: “I was born.”

Him: “No, but what HAPPENED.”

Me: “I was born.”

Him: “No, but what… HAPPENED.” (gesturing more wildly at my chair, like I somehow didn’t understand his fucking rude question the first two times)

.

Fuck you? I’m just trying to check out here. I don’t have to answer personal medical questions from complete strangers.

Also had a store employee accuse me of being drunk because I wobble a few feet away from my cart without my cane to grab something; she almost threw me out.

Me: *covering my ears during a fire drill*

Person: dOnT thAts wEirD

Me: *eating my food one at a time* (finishing each food before I move onto the next)

Person: here have some of this

Me: ok let me finish this first

Person: what why

Me: *explains*

Person: yOu cAnT rEaLly haTe iT thAt mUcH iTs nOt thAt baD jUst eAt thiS

Me: *stimming happily*

Person: doNt dO thAt qUieT hAndS

Me: *existing*

Bus drivers also have a tendency to grab my wheelchair when in getting on/off. Please don’t touch someone’s wheelchair without asking, it’s the same as picking someone up and moving them. You’re not helping us, you’re making our lives worse. If we need help, we’ll ask.

If I’m wearing my vogmask in public people stare, or sneeze/cough at me and snicker. I’ve had people deliberately spray aerosol around me because they knew I’d have an asthma attack.

Person: but… why do you need it?

Me: … to walk?

Person: no like……… why?

Me: I can’t walk easily without it?

Ableds are not entitled to our entire medical history or backstory!

Also with my mobility devices; cane, forearm crutches, wheelchair. I need them because I need them. I’m not sure where this concept started of if you can’t visibly see what’s wrong, it’s someone faking it came from but it needs to stop.

And airport security is a nightmare. Last time I flew out of Shannon I was trying to clarify what they wanted me to do which caused the bitch to lose it and yell at me “just do as you’re told!”

There are 15,500+ golf courses in the United States alone.

Each one consumes ~312,000 gallons of water per day.

That consumption is equivalent to 55+ million humans per day in the United States… roughly 1/6 the entire population.

Golf courses require pesticides & herbicides & fertilizers in such volume that once decommissioned you can’t do anything with the land until it’s been rehabilitated. No farms, no housing. Maybe pave it over and turn it into a parking lot? A nice office complex? 

Also: the runoff from all those chemicals contaminate the local water supply. 

Ah, so I see you’re ecologically woke and not using Round-Up™ in your backyard? Well FUCK YOU because the golf course two miles away is pumping barrels of that shit directly into the water table every month.

All so rich fuckwits can chase their wee white balls around in public for a coupla hours every weekend. It’s a resource 99% of us will never have access to or even want to use.
