You are just as disabled as someone who is visibly disabled. You deserve to use accessible facilities and have your pain treated without discrimination. You deserve to have people believe you when you tell them you are suffering. Able-passing is a myth when you are still sick.
You are valid and you are enough.
Bringing this back now that there's no way I can hide that I'm disabled. Y'all still get the same amount of ableism, they're just using different excuses to deny you the access you deserve. Instead of "but are you really disabled?" it's "Well if you're that sick you shouldn't be out of the house/alive."
I've gone the whole spectrum from "mostly abled" to "Now all of China knows you're crip" and it's all the same stuff. They hate us all so we might as well stop doing the "well if I was physically ill, I'd get care" or "if they could just see how sick I feel" or "but you can hide it" games. You're drowning if you're in 6 feet of water or 60 feet, the depth or whether it's fresh or saltwater isn't all that important in the long run.
terrible years really make you understand the point of a new year. i know nothing much will have changed between dec 31 and jan 1, but we need to be able to partition off everything that’s happened to us, we need a moment to say, ‘that’s done, we’re done with it, it’s over’ and have a little hope that the future will be different. we need to be able to stop and take a breath and sing, in the middle of winter, and prepare ourselves for spring.
All the naysayers going “you know it’s not just 2020 and that the events of this year are actually the result of decades and 2021 won’t be magically better”
Ahhh yes, strawman naysayer in my head and on my fb tl, I see you are very intelligent. But pal, it’s absolutely not the point at all. Hope has nothing to do with logic. We need celebrations the most when there is seemingly nothing to celebrate, which is why, even when everything is dark and bleak and we can’t even be together with the people we love, we put on our silly little party hats on december 31st, say “good riddence 2020 you absolute trash bastard” and perform this silly little ritual of giving a big ol cheers to whatever fresh new hell is coming next
Some of you need to learn the difference between skinny girls being made to feel insecure about their body from certain people and fat girls being made to feel like their entire life is worthless because of their body size from literally the entire world
People still don’t get the point of this post…….wild
if your first response to a content creator being outed as a predator/sexual abuser is to go “i never liked their stuff anyway” then you don’t really care about the victim(s)

“The widely circulated timeline created by @Zerflin does a great job in showing how recently slavery & segregation occurred & that they lasted longer than the modern era.
“I'd like to offer this timeline as another way of viewing the same period of history to show the constancy of both Black resistance in US & efforts of the white power structure to maintain racial caste since 1619.”
“The vaccine will protect you from getting ill & then ending
up hospitalized. But it’s possible that you could still carry the virus
and be contagious to others. So those who get the vaccine should still
be wearing masks & practicing physical distancing.“
do you ever think about how weird of a name “squidward tentacles” is like imagine if your name was humanward arms
