what abled ppl think is a massive problem for disabled folks: 13 year old on the internet faking something
what is actually a massive problem for disabled folks: "well you don't LOOK disabled, are you sure you're not faking? I'm not giving you accommodations until you PROVE you're not faking. Please give me, a stranger, your medical info and explain your condition to me in detail so I know you're not faking and only then will I respect or take you seriously"

✨ Things I'm insecure about because of my disabilities ✨
Being unreliable
Having a messy room
Abdominal bloating
Not being 100% on top of my hygiene
Having to excuse myself to the washroom more often
Using my mobility aids
Random bruising
My chicken (weak) legs
Having to explain myself to strangers
Taking the accessible seating on the bus/train
Tripping over myself
My brain fog (I used to have a fantastic memory, I feel like I come off as stupid now)
Being super sweaty
Not being "good representation"
Leaving functions early
Sitting on the floor in public
And so much more. This is a reminder that you're not alone in feeling gross or undesirable, it's also okay to feel that way.
Sometimes you need to feel the feelings before you deal with them.
Taking care of the disabled and injured is human nature actually. We have evidence of our ancestors caring for folks with disabilities. We're a cooperative species that takes care of their own. If our starving, weary, and hunted ancestors could care for the disabled members of their tribe, in this era of modern medicine and abundant resources we absolutely can afford to do the same.
anyone else ever think about where they would be if they werent sick?
couldve graduated high school, couldve gone to university, couldve had a job, travelled, practiced my skills regularly, chased my passions..
i feel so disconnected from myself and my life, it kinda feels like im on autopilot or smth
life doesnt feel very real or tangible, it feels distant
cries in a positive way
Practicing poses and body types and I drew flora. Enjoy!
and what i really want is more deformed characters who are GOOD instead of this awful pattern of the deformed characters being evil.
anyways i am currently working on multiple such characters.
Really wish I saw more art of deformed characters. More diversity in bodies. I feel like people are scared to draw us because they’re worried they’ll do it wrong or something. But 1. wrong and trying is better than nothing, and 2. you can always ask somebody for input. There are always people who are willing to answer your questions, you just have to find them. My asks are always open and I know a to of other people who are like that, too.
this is a controversial opinion and I’m not a gamer but I don’t need my graphics to be that good. I don’t need to see every individual feather on a bird. my poor computer doesn’t deserve to carry that weight either.
chronic pain diagnoses are all like yeah we don't know what this is or why it happens. we also don't know how to treat it. good luck out there soldier
exactly 😭😭 its always like “aw im so sorry i get it ive been through the same” and then ur like ah shit not another one.. :((
it hurts hearing other disabled people talk about medical mistreatment.
like i am partly grateful to not be alone of course, but i really wish it wasnt a common or even standard occurrence.
breaks my heart.
