you know, this feels like a fun time to remind those of you able bodied out there, ally or not, you will be disabled eventually, unless you die very young. it might take 40 years for your hips to give out, or you might have a lifechanging accident in the next 30 minutes, but don't think you're better than me just because i've been disabled since i was a teenager. you'll know what it's like eventually. maybe start advocating for us now while you have working legs and arms and eyes
"why do they need to do weeks of work and close this entrance to install a stupid ramp" because i promise you that you will need that ramp eventually, you will curse and moan at every flight of stairs someday, you will hate the way the world was built for you when you were young and now doesn't serve your tired old bones, and i will laugh, and i'll still help you get up those stairs, but it will be vindicating.
turns out you can get nearly a hundred boosts and a bunch of replies agreeing with you about the pain and difficulties disabled people face, and yet no contributions/donations to making an actual disabled person's life a little easier, funny how that works. surely i didn't cross the dash of all 200 disabled people on the fediverse and nobody able bodied and with money to spare...
ooohh i'm getting cranky (because of pain (the chronic pain (that makes me disabled)))
well this is quite possibly the most interaction i've ever had with a post. if you're able bodied and not living in poverty, please consider contributing to our gofundme to allow my partner/carer to move to the uk to live with me full time https://gofund.me/174a4791
