Pacta Sunt Servanda

If you're comfortable accusing anyone of faking disability, you're not a real ally to disabled people

im glad we're mostly out of the "girls are so soft uwu" era. it was really hard for me to go through as a girl with a segmented carapace covered in hundreds of tiny barbs

I've seen some posts trying to make fun of former gifted kids by comparing them to former student athletes who insist that they could have gone pro if not for a specific injury, and those posts always backfire, because my reaction to them is "You're right, we should treat former student athletes with more compassion than we currently do"

I went from being very physically active to getting the "your body doesn't make energy properly anymore" disability so I can completely understand the grief that comes with circumstances outside your control destroying parts of you you were once proud of and locking you out of the life you could have had. It's not a good feeling.

In both cases, the chain of events is “We noticed you were good at something, so we pushed you into it full force without proper support, you excelled for a few years, but now you can’t do it at all. You’re probably just lazy. Anyway, why are you so obsessed with the past?”

I love in science fiction when something’s an array. The sensor array. The navigational array. Weapons array. Goddamn, yes. Get that shit in an array.
