it’s hard to retain your autonomy when your body and experiences are medicalized and put under constant scrutiny

get tattoos, get piercings, do what you want with your hair, dress however you want. i’ve found that taking control of one’s appearance works wonders for reminding yourself that you are not just numbers, or tests, or lab files.

happy disability pride month to anyone having a really bad flare-up rn btw. take care of yourself

forgive your disabled friends for always being angry with the world. but don’t feel pity for us

i was on the bus with my mum and i was using my rollator. i had it folded up while i was seated so others could get by. when we went to get off at our stop, my mum grabbed my rollator from my hands and try to get off the bus with it before i could. i had to shout to her that i need it to walk because i DO.

DONT TOUCH MOBILITY AIDS unless given verbal consent. DONT try to “help” disabled people by touching/grabbing/moving mobility aids without being asked.

how would you like it if someone started grabbing and moving your damn legs around?

i love u wheelchair💜
