Sounds like there’s some jelly girlies working for fascist oligarchies at @nytimes and @telegraph 🫠♿️🗣️ #isaidwhatisaid #disabledandproud #mobilityaids #wheelchairusers #girltalk
Alt text: What these reporters got right, and what they got wrong. Uh ya… Disability pride IS cool. It’s cool to love and embrace all parts of yourself. It’s not social contagion, it’s visibility. & if there is a statistical rise, the lack of regulations on corporations and mass disabling events like Covid are the blame. Disability IS a culture BUT “economic inactivity” is forced on us. It’s not our fault that we’re often excluded from structures, jobs, sports, and social events through a lack of accessibility. On the flip side, the disability culture we create brings us joy and belonging with people we relate to. Diving deeper: if you live in the US, it’s likely your ancestral culture was stripped from you by American whiteness. If you feel resentment towards minority cultures, maybe it’s because you lost yours. Look into your history, and fill that void a healthy way. “Sickfluencers” are good for everyone. Taking away disability stigma is powerful. It normalizes living disabled, which helps ALL people since any of us could become disabled at any time. Plus, information sharing is the heart of intelligence. If your resentment comes from “disability perks” consider you’re a victim of capitalism: overworked and underserved. You shouldn’t have to be disabled to experience government support b/c we all pay the government to work for us. Only offering support for the most vulnerable is the BARE MINIMUM that a government should be doing. America teaches scarcity mindset and pride in the “bootstraps” mentality to control us BUT there is more than enough to go around for everyone to experience comfort and abundance. Consider that your anger is misdirected, which is exactly how our fascist oligarchy government likes it. taken in Denver, Colorado by @candybomb13

I may be delulu but I’m goin with 👑✨
#disabledandproud #wheelchairuser #princess #foryou #jokes
Alt txt: wheelchair user or princess? Ppl rush to open doors for me, my food is always brought to me (never left on a counter for pickup), businesses lay down ramps for my arrival and take me through special entrances, I get front row seating with drink service at shows, and most clubs let me in for free. Restaurants regularly surprise me with free food and drinks, I get more spacious bathrooms, private elevator use, and special lodging accommodations. Airlines load me first and give me 3 free bags. I don’t pay for public transit, and drivers offer to tie down my chariot for smoother rides. Strangers give me flowers, and everyone tells me I’m beautiful like it’s a mandatory obligation to the state. taken in Creepatorium Denver by @candybomb13

I can’t be the only one that creates my own terms 🤭 Share yours below 👇 #fyp #doubletake #disability #disabledandproud #sayitwithyourchest
•••
Alt text:
Slide 1: Things I say that make people double take
Slide 2: Calling the process of insurance, grants, and loan closets the disability economy. Srsly tho disabled people have their own economy.
Slide 3: Suggesting a fuck-off day. Because sometimes we just need to fuck everything off for a day.
Slide 4: Saying I’m getting a government massage. Fr the government gets the tab… if you have the right disability in Colorado.
Slide 5: Telling a boy no. Why is that word so hard for them to accept?
Slide 6: Explaining that my disability put me in retirement. The silver lining of having government-set income limits is I work for passion, not for money.
Slide 7: Your turn. Make me double take in the comments below. taken in Denver, Colorado by @candybomb13
