disabled people who do not directly "contribute" to society and need large amounts of care and resources to survive deserve not only to survive but to have comfort, stability, and fun within their lives while they do. no compromises.

Chronic pain pisses me off cause I'm not even incapacitated for like a cool or badass reason instead my body is throwing the world's biggest temper tantrum because it's raining outside

honestly the only way to work through ableism is to be uncomfortable. you can read the posts and the books and learn the theory and the history but none of it compares to interacting with disabled people in real life. how do you become comfortable around people with facial and limb differences? you walk past them on the street. you say hi to them. how to you become comfortable seeing people talk to themselves in public? you acknowledge that they're no threat to you and move on. how do you get used to xyz disability? you go outside and see people with it.
