Most able bodied people aren’t afraid of becoming disabled because they believe the system will support them. That doctors will work night and day to figure out what’s wrong when they’ll most likely tell you it’s just anxiety.

“Bottom 60%” is a funny way of saying the majority.

The irony being, which not many seem to know, is Pilates was designed for disabled war vets to be able to be done from a bed with spring mechanisms as resistance.

Parents who spank their children lack communication skills.

[Dr. Lucky Tran @luckytran]

All anti-mask laws—even those with so called “medical exceptions”—stigmatize mask-wearing.

Fewer people wearing masks increases the spread of infectious diseases.

No matter how lawmakers try to spin it, any law that criminalizes wearing a mask endangers public health. Period.

Disabled people are forced to experience a harsh reality that you think you have the luxury to ignore.

Disability is universal & inevitable.

Disabled people are resilient as fuck, out of necessity.

It shouldn’t take you becoming disabled to start listening to disabled people.

[jasmine dickey @_JD20]

that’s bc people think DEI means black people.

@freshman5ever @shaTIRED i’m happy for you if you don’t feel that way! not everyone has that experience, which is fine to acknowledge

[devin (they/them) ♿️✨ @mxdevinn]

@jaded3nby @shaTIRED thank you! i will look into them 🫶🏾

[devin (they/them) ♿️✨ @mxdevinn]

@SaharaContaste @shaTIRED sadly i don’t have either, but this info will definitely help someone! thank you!

[devin (they/them) ♿️✨ @mxdevinn]

@freshman5ever @shaTIRED $130 is nothing to some people, but the difference in whether or not we get 2 weeks of groceries for me. i choose groceries.

and how do i survive? barely. with many sacrifices and heaps of stress. like a LOT of people do, and most disabled people

glad you can afford it though!

[ᴘᴏᴛᴀᴛᴜᴍ @pot8um]

This. This. This.

As a disabled person who is unable to work publicly, tiktok has been a main source of income the past couple years.

What about the small business owners who are losing their platforms they worked so hard to build?

If y’all can’t understand that, you’re lost.

[collagen machine broke @chronicallybeee]

today the doctor i work with said at the end of the day that almost every single patient they saw today was sick in some way and said “god, we are so screwed” because it is so not normal

A 67 year old amputee & wheelchair user lived with his son who had cerebral palsy

They were killed in Eaton fire while waiting for an ambulance that never came

Many disabled people can’t evacuate on their own. They need to be included in evacuation plans (yet almost never are)

@darlingube my cat eats freeze-dried raw ahi tuna treats from vital essentials. i was assuming initially that since it’s fish, it would be safe since it seems to be mainly in dairy, poultry, and cattle - would it be unsafe actually? if anyone knows, i wanna keep him safe 🫶🏾

[Charis Hill | they/them | 🇵🇸 😷 @BeingCharisBlog]

It is OK to cancel plans if you are sick.

It is far better than making others sick, who will make others sick & so on & so forth until -- at multiple points in that chain of transmission -- someone becomes permanently disabled or further disabled or dead.

You can prevent that.

[@[email protected] @Imani_Barbarin]

It’s not. If disabled people themselves want to use a different term, that’s up to them, not you.
