tales from the rabbit garden

[flushed and bashful] wait, really? [kicks feet cutely] the bell tolls for me? [looks away shyly] w-wow... [blushes]

I, too, live here, inside a tattered tent that offers no protection whatsoever. During the day, this piece of cloth doesn't shield us from the scorching sun that burns our skin. At night, it doesn't protect us from the cold, and worse still... it doesn't protect us from bullets or shrapnel. At any moment, I could be in that child's place. And the world will simply ignore my name as they go about their daily lives and football matches.

Our tattered tent, needs your support to become a shelter that protects us, and our hungry stomachs need a small glimmer of hope that we are not alone in this world. Please don't leave us to suffer alone. Help us so we can buy food to satisfy our hunger and repair our destroyed tent. I hope you won't ignore us.​

so many people ive known have pushed themselves to burnout trying to deny their disabled reality, skipping accommodations, skipping rests etc. and the world convinces them that the solution to their burnout is to push even harder. it’s a huge tragedy. i know social pressures make it tough but i want more disabled people to make things easier for themselves where possible, to opt out of things that harm them when possible, to quit while they’re ahead. be that person today! protect yourself where you can! take micro breaks while doing your hobby. get that shower chair. sit to brush your teeth. lie down in the middle of the day, even if only for 5 mins. these things add up and it’s so worth it.

happy disability pride month! ACCOMMODATE YOURSELF TODAY!

Nader is a young adult. He just turned 18 this year. He's had to sacrifice all of his dreams and comforts due to the escalating genocidal occupation of Gaza by the zionist project. His house was destroyed, his education was taken from him, and he has become the sole provider for his family of 8 through fundraising on tumblr. I want you to think about that weight. To be made responsible for the survival of your whole family as a teenager, and for this to depend on getting and maintaining the attention of people in the global north every day for years.
