It's ableist and offensive as fuck, and for some reason a lot of leftist people think it's okay to use. I've seen posts replying to right wing racists calling them "brain damaged if you believe this" and "do you have a brain injury? do you not understand X?". Just now I saw a beautiful post about fat people throughout history that was absolutely ruined by opening with "How do we break it to boomers with actual brain damage and nostalgic brainrot..." before continuing to say that fat people existed throughout history.

Brain damage does not make you racist. A brain injury doesn't make you ignorant, or fatphobic, or unaware of history and politics. Stop fucking using my disability as a catch all to describe people you think are shitty. Y'all use it like it's a replacement for how people used to use the R-slur, which shows you learned absolutely nothing about why the R-slur was wrong to use and decided to throw in other disabilities instead. Fuck off and stop doing it.

(And don't do it with other disabilities either, because I know y'all do.)

I know a lot of people with brain injuries. They're smart, and funny, and compassionate. They learn about the world and care about social issues and wish they could go to protests if their disability won't allow them to. Are there right wing people with brain injuries? Sure, absolutely. But they are not right wing because they have a brain injury, and using any disability as an insult is still fucking ableist.

Tldr - stop using brain damage and brain injury as an insult. It's ableist and incredibly offensive.

hi angels 🫶🏻

As a few of you know I was brutally and violently assaulted on nov 7. was left severely concussed and injured on the ground in a parking garage 3 hours from my home with no money no car not even a phone charger and no way to get home. It was so evil, unprovoked in all respects and happened out of nowhere. It was at least twenty punches and thirty kicks to my head neck and face and countless more to my body. initially refused an ambulance for a few hours bc i knew it would be expensive but things were getting worse and it was necessary. As more time passed i noticed more injuries and head trauma isn’t something to mess around with so I bit the bullet and got an ambulance.

This whole nightmare and the aftermath of it has been nothing short of horrific and devastating. I wouldn’t wish what happened to me on anyone. And this was no stranger. It was somebody I have known for fourteen years. someone I considered a friend, someone I loved and felt safe around. very traumatized to say the least kinda destroyed mentally and spiritually still not healed all the way physically. I have constant headaches, tinnitus, fatigue, confusion and memory loss. still have trouble sleeping because I force myself awake so I don’t have to relive it in my dreams bc they can be very vivid. I still can’t be around most people because my nervous system screams at me that I’m not safe and that it is going to happen again

My dad brought me to Utah thinking his family would help but my grandmother is transphobic and refused to let me stay for long enough to get on my feet. The rest of my family has sided with her.

I am a semi-ambulatory wheelchair user with an ileostomy and TBI so managing carrying all my medical stuff plus survival supplies is a chore.

I am currently broke and needing supplies that will help me at the shelter and managing getting around. I’ve also since lost my push rims in my various moves around.

If you are in a position to help financially I have an Amazon wishlist that ships to my sister’s house where she can hold onto stuff for me.
