#ThingsDisabledPeopleKnow
Disabled doesn’t mean weak, it means excluded from the society. The society are built exclusively for neurotypicals. We live in a neurotypicals world. Ableism’s a worldwide problem and it needs to be fixed, because disabled rights are human rights.

i would like to put it out there that my dignity has reached new lows today - i stepped in dog shit and then got shat on by a bird. i guess you could say it’s been a shitty day.

[[email protected] why not @rebeccawatson]

Sometimes I feel sympathy for the people who worry about “cancel culture” and then I remember that I was canceled and deplatformed but they don’t think it counts because I was targeted by Richard Dawkins and his fans instead of, like, trans people or antifa or whoever 🤷‍♀️

[Vilissa Thompson @VilissaThompson]

Someone really called me a racist for stating that we need disabled correspondents of color.

Y’all must be new here.

All I ask if for more original slanders. That’s all. 🤣🤣🤣

You cannot be anti-ableist without looking at how ableism works to support white supremacy. I promise you.

Too many Ableds only validate disability narratives if disabled people are striving towards abled-ness as the goal and it doesn’t sit right with me.

Sometimes I think about the fact that, as a kid, I was routinely shoved off of swings and slides by occupational therapists teaching me how to twist and fall properly so I wouldn’t hurt myself seriously.

If a white disabled person ever says white privilege doesn’t exist in disability spaces, point them to a medical textbook.

White bodies are literally the standard of diagnosis.

Can you believe that cops are resigning all over America because they’re being told not to choke, beat or kill black people anymore?

Security guard:”Can you park your wheelchair in the corner so it’s not in the way? Fire regulations.”

In the way of what?
What fire regulations?

Nondisabled people have a strong propensity for telling disabled people that we are “in the way.”

Telling autistic people you know more about autism than they do because you have an autistic son is like telling an airplane pilot that you know more about flying than they do because you have a lot of frequent flyer miles.

[Emily Ladau @emily_ladau]

It’s always a bummer to me when I get excited to find disability representation in something, only to realize the person intended to represent the disability community actually does everything in their power to spread the message that disability is a bad word or shameful label.

@rdblddwmn And a lot other men don’t call out them, because his m status or they too want to normalize these covert cis-maletears.

Me boarding bus:”I need the wheelchair spot. Can you please move?”
Mother with baby stroller:”Why should I move? You have a buggy and I have a buggy. I was here first.”

A wheelchair is not a buggy.
This is wheelchair priority seating.
Case closed.

#IHateWhenPeopleAskMe if they can race me.

Do I look like I want to wheel fast for no reason to cure your curiosity about wheelchairs?

No. I don’t. Keep asking me & I’ll show you how good I am at popping wheelies... on your toes.
