if you use small screen for small purchases and big screen for big purchases, what are you buying on a tablet?

Sometimes the kicker about being disabled is realising we have to help eachother, donate to eachother, because nobody else will. You start to lose all faith and trust in able bodied people and their ability to care

Who wants to tip me $35 so I can buy these edibles? THC helps me with my chronic pain and nausea 🩷

i feel guilty about spending 20 pounds on pizza so i don't starve on a day where my chronic illness is flaring, i think you deserve to feel guilty about buying a laptop that has negative functionality and will soon need an extra dongle to actually have a processor and gpu

you can be the perfect little disabled person and pinch every penny and deny yourself every luxury and the people who have stock in apple and buy the new macbook air ultrathin single port privelige pro will still refuse to spare a second thought to donating to your 'pay rent so i'm not out on the streets' fund

thinking about how i had to run my last phone into the ground and kept it for 5 years until it was so slow it was causing my bank app to crash constantly and even then i bought a mid tier android phone to replace it, and there are people out there debating if they need to upgrade to this year's new iphone or if last year's model is still new and chic enough. makes me want to cry

sorry, time for another angry cripple post, if you're able bodied and earning enough to not be living paycheck to paycheck, you should be donating money to people who need it, disabled people, sex workers, trans people, you have a responsibility to make up for the shortfalls in society and make the world kinder. other disabled people with no income have given me more than i could ever have asked them for, you can do better

Stop shaming disabled people for not being able to do the physical/mental things you can do. It’s not fair.

CW: talking about disability and my feelings regarding it 

"on a good day I can get around with just my walking stick am I really disabled?" Yes, yes you are you doofus, you have genuinely collapsed from pain before, had your knee dislocate and force you to use a knee brace for two weeks because of a badly formed cartilage, it's all disability. I just wish it was easier to remind myself

CW: talking about disability and my feelings regarding it 

One thing that sucks about having 'only' chronic pain, fatigue, and a neurological disorder is that I constantly feel like I'm faking disability, that I shouldn't be speaking about it with the same verve and certainty as say, someone who has lost both legs and has to use a wheelchair 24/7, and I know this is silly because just as often I do need the same accomodation, but god I hate feeling like I don't measure up

Mandating wheelchair friendly building in Minecraft, better start incorporating ramps into your builds, and say goodbye to ladders

I'm a bitter and vindictive disabled person, sue me, but I think it would be funny for able bodied people to get to experience the inconvenience of disability occasionally

Here's a fun thought: Minecraft mod for disabilities. And not just cosplaying via having like, a wheelchair or walking stick you can equip at your leisure. Actual random, permanent disability that can hit your character at any time. Like whoops, from now on, on this server, you walk at 1/4 speed unless there's a walking stick in your off hand, or oopsy, now your character can only move between different seat mounts like chairs and wheelchairs, and you can't jump or mantle one block heights

no one ever teaches you how to properly manage your disabilities, but lots of people will try to teach you to be abled

Chronic illness is relentless. It’s literally built into the name.

“Chronic” means we can’t just take a restful weekend and feel “all better”.

It’s day after day of feeling sick, tired and in pain - often while people gaslight you and endlessly ask “are you better yet?”

We aren’t getting better. “Sick” is our new normal. We have good days and bad days - but we aren’t going to magically wake up one day & not be chronically ill.

Accepting this is incredibly hard. Don’t make it harder for us by making us hide our sick for your benefit. Help us lean into acceptance.

And now I'm going to have a strong cup of coffee which won't do anything to make me feel more alert at all
