disabled people are often in permacrisis

there's never enough money each month. there's always an unexpected illness. new symptoms pop up or old symptoms flare up. meds have to be managed always and refilled constantly and any refill has the opportunity to go wrong. any regular care has the opportunity to go wrong. any mistake can send your health spiralling. it's always "i just need to get through this bad patch" but as soon as one ends another begins. another crisis begins in the middle of the last crisis. managing one thing leaves another thing to be neglected until that becomes a major issue and has to be managed asap and the cycle starts anew over and over and over

It's clearly casting moonbeam, you uncultured fireball-brained wizard.

"weaponized incompetence" is about falsified incompetence being intentionally weaponized. it is not accidental behavior, it is not being unable to function in the ways that would make you "competent." it is toxic because of its nature as a consciously manipulative behavior and how it is often a tool of the patriarchy. comparing it to anything else is cruel. executive dysfunction and disabilities are not examples of weaponized incompetence.

a person knows when they are weaponizing incompetence. please, please take care and be kind to yourself if you worry that you may be doing it accidentally- that is not weaponized incompetence, and i'm sorry to anyone who has ever felt anxious about that. you deserve better. we deserve better. being disabled is not a moral failure or manipulative behavior.

HAPPY LOS JIBBITIES EVERYBODY!!!

The time for Los Jibbities has arrived!

if you’re disabled or chronically ill and need help from others in daily life, the world may shame you or make you feel like you’re weird, but i promise you are not. people need people; this has always been true throughout history. one of the earliest signs of civilisation is evidence that injured and disabled people were well taken care of. disabled people receiving long term care from others is a sign that human civilisation is functioning as it should. needing care is normal, sacred, and special.
