Take the extra step to unlearn casual ableism. Don’t be toxic. #endcasualableism #casualableism Posted @withregram • @itsecogal [share] last week, i had a conversation with a friend of mine explaining ableism and i found that it is truly so integrated into our society that people rarely notice it, especially within the language that we throw around on an everyday basis without blinking an eye and the idea of disabilities being an afterthought or “not normal.” ableism is EVERYWHERE. as i mentioned in my feature with @reformation, being a good ally and fighting for change begins with a lot of unlearning because whether we like it or not, we live in a world and an oppressive system that is wrought with these mentalities. this is a journey that i am on every single day to try to unlearn the certain language and behavior that have been ingrained in our society for centuries. thank you @preen.ph for this amazing post that breaks down casual ableism so well and explains what you can do to be better. you can also read my full feature for @reformation at the link in my bio! #explore #explorepage #ableism #allyship #unlearn #disabilityawareness #disability #society #support #grow #sustainability #action #trending https://www.instagram.com/p/CDzCG_xJcRJ/?igshid=1fazc0z190g64
