Angry Crip

I follow back fellow crips! an uninspiring cripple with unreasonable demands. asymmetric hands. neurodivergent mind.

The same “curiosity” from non-disabled people that created Freak Shows and Asylums hides in these “innocent” questions.

[Angry Crip @AngryCrip]

One of the most confusing things non-disabled people regularly say to me is “wow I never noticed your hand before”

Any and every response I’ve tried is SO awkward. For these people this is just *an* awkward moment. You don’t see a pattern unless you’re the part that repeats...

[Angry Crip @AngryCrip]

Cripples are question marks. Disability demands explanation. Ableism is “just asking questions”.

.@Imani_Barbarin is a national treasure & the white disabled people in her mentions are just *projecting* because she’s speaking THE truth. We have *so* much more work to do naming and fighting anti-blackness in the ‘disability community’. #DisabilityJustice > White Fragility

[Angry Crip @AngryCrip]

Erasing my identity is *not* “empowering” or “understanding”. It’s ableist. I’m proud to be disabled. That’s only confusing if you insist on framing disability as intrinsically negative. I don’t. We don’t. Please stop projecting. #BeingDisabledDoesDefineMe

*screams this into the void*

“I don’t even think of you as disabled”

If you’re surprised that America is willing to sacrifice elderly and disabled people then you haven’t been paying attention. #Ableism is *fueling* the spread of COVID-19. It has been since MARCH!!! #DisabilityTwitter #CripTheVote

“Let’s all join hands for a prayer”

[TEEFRANKLIN.COM @MizTeeFranklin]

I see y’all thanking everyone except disabled people.

Whew. Y’all funny. Carry on tho.

@Redistrict Are you too busy helping ghost write Winds of Winter or something?!? Say the thing Dave.

[Riah (ry-uh) @lilririah]

Black, Indigenous, Latine of colour, & Asian organizers & community members really busted their asses for this turnout.

All while leading care for community over protests & Covid. Whew. Not to forget the many disabled organizers & community members who dug in as well.

[Black Voters Matter Fund @BlackVotersMtr]

Thank Black folks.
Thank Black voters.
Thank Black women.
Thank Black organizers.
Thank Black organizations.

The work was not done by a particular party, but people. It’s About Us ✊🏾

Which Melania do y’all think they are going to make tell him it’s over? #ElectionResults2020 #Melanias

[Angry Crip @AngryCrip]

Ableism is never making the list of “progressive” priorities. #CripTheVote

[Angry Crip @AngryCrip]

@MichaelSkolnik Disabled led organizations?!? #CripTheVote
