Waow so cuuute!!!!!!!

silly new oc i made!! his name is bug!!

I would love for abled bodied people to stop appropriating physical disability language to describe mental disabilities. Yes, anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism (all of which I have btw) are debilitating, but they are not the same as physical disabilities, and it is ableist to use the term crippled and crippling to describe mental conditions. you are not crippled unless you are physically disabled. it’s also ableist and harmful to blind/Deaf/HoH/visually or auditory impaired/paralyzed ppl for people without these conditions to use terms like “time blind” “deaf” “adhd paralysis” etc. these terms have actual meanings and contexts that matter. Stop speaking over physically disabled ppl when we call it out, and stop derailing physical disability issues and centering your able bodied feelings. I deal with CPTSD, cluster A and B PDs and OCD causing paranoia and delusions, agoraphobia etc, and that makes it hard for me to leave my house. However, it’s not the same fucking thing as my PoTS physically disabling me from leaving my house because the heat will make me violently ill. physically and mentally disabled people share many struggles but we also have many differences and speaking over us and centering yourself in our issues and spaces is harmful and antithetical to disability liberation.

Using "Legalize" as a term to cover up the theft of people's homes and livelihoods is expected at this point from the NYT. The "free" press is complicit in the manufacturing of consent to not only destroy Gaza, but to also annex the West Bank. Free Palestine.
