Education is important. Listening to those that have both experience and more knowledge about a topic is important. Empathy is important, too, and the internet is very much lacking it.

[Eliza @weaversthread]

I also find it sad when people on the milder side of dynamic disabilities think because they’re capable of doing more, everyone else should be too, and if they aren’t, they aren’t trying hard enough. I wish people were more empathetic towards people on the severe sides.

Do ableists care whether or not you’re a “good one” who isn’t self-diagnosed, or that you don’t behave like the more covid cautious people do? No. They don’t. It’s ableism. Bending over backwards for them doesn’t solve anything or get them to look at you in a kinder light.

Becoming disabled as a child long before mainstream media, and the medical world, were educated enough about it has led me to many places but, I’ve found I don’t have any tolerance for people who just heard about these diagnoses post-Covid & now believe themselves to be experts.

[Eliza @weaversthread]

I do not care about LARPers. People didn’t take my diagnoses seriously when I was a child, and that won’t change because of people on TikTok. I do find it sad when other people say they won’t talk about their disabilities because they don’t want to be grouped with them.

[Eliza @weaversthread]

And in their newfound ��expertise” (which is not grounded in medical research or lived experience) think they know what these diagnoses look like and that they should be allowed to use whatever they see on social media to ridicule immunocompromised and disabled people.

The ice cream in my freezer? The ice cream I’ve been eating? The ice cream I’ve been eating as a sweet little reward? That ice cream? The salted caramel cluster ice cream made from cashew milk? With bits of cashews? Has STONES and other HARD objects in it?

[FactPost @factpostnews]

The FDA has announced a recall of salted caramel ice cream due to possible contamination with "small stones and other hard objects."

I don’t think many able bodied people realize how much they benefit from accessibility. Elevators, glasses, texting, captions, home devices that control lights and make calls. Making things accessible for disabled people makes it accessible for everyone.
