The Road to Nowhere.

Making jokes about people who can't eat gluten or have very specific dietary needs is ableist.

Making fun of or video taping "weird" or "cringey" people is ableist.

Not wearing a mask is ableist.

Inappropriately using items or methods that are for disabled people such as handicap elevators or abusing the rules that allow fidget toys until they get taken away is ableist.

Complaining about subtitles on public screens is ableist.

Talking over someone because youre an abled person who can talk faster/clearer than the disabled person is ableist.

Telling someone they cant be both queer/pretty/smart/anything other than a cishet white man whos unattractive because thats what a disabled person looks like is ableist.

Because you likely have no idea what you're talking about so x may not help and could even be harmful. If the person with the condition didn't specifically ask for your advice they don't want it, so shut up. They may have already tried x or there may be a very good reason why they haven't tried x. Sometimes medical stuff doesn't have just one quick easy fix, sometimes it can't be fixed at all, and it can be very upsetting for people to imply all you medical issues could be solved if you just tried harder.

Some days are really bad: its hard to get out of bed because you can't manage the pain or your brains just full of fog and you can't even get yourself to concentrate enough to read half a page. Other days are unexpectedly good and you can sit and do 5 hours of work without needing a break, you're clear headed and know exactly what to do. You may even be able to physically exert your body but good days are often followed by bad days and doing too much will cost you the next days energy and later you'll need time to recover

Both days always come out of nowhere and always without notice and making commitments and fully following them through is a gamble. This is not our fault but it is our reality. Not all of us can give a consistent effort despite wanting to.
