Disabled People Are Worth Whatever Cost Or Resources Is Needed To Keep Them Alive. Disabled People Are

disabled people are worth whatever cost or resources is needed to keep them alive. disabled people are worth it even if they don't live long. they're worth it even if they will need extra support and resources for every day of their life. they're worth it even if they spend all they life indoors. none of it is wasted. none of it is in vain. time, effort, money, resources spent on a life are not wasted. these things have served their purpose. the joy of someone's existence is not undermined by not lasting forever. there's no meaningful point, some threshold where you can say "okay this is enough. after that it's not worth it." it's always worth it.

Instead of watching Eurovision this year…

maybe I can interest you in Hataris Documentary named „A song called hate“.

It features 2019s Icelandic contestants „Hatari“ on their journey to protest against the treatment of Palestinians in Isreal, using Eurovision as a stage to share an important message.

In their documentary, they shed light on what „Hatari“ is, their intentions and ways to support Palestinians, their experiences in Israel, their interviews of Palestinian civilians and artists and what followed after they raised the Palestinian flag during Eurovision in Israel.

Famously known as this scene:

You can find A song called hate here:

Please share so more people know!!

People really underestimate the power of just telling someone you like them. romantically obviously but hell even just platonically too. You can admit you enjoy peoples presence it doesn’t have to be mind games it’s okay to just be sincere and true with your thoughts and intentions btw

Remember to make space for the heteros this month too - yes, really.

Lesbians who became straight men

Gay men who became straight women

All straight drag artists (note that not all of them are cis!)

People with complex identities who thusly encompass multiple orientations (like genderfluid and multigender people who, yes, are sometimes straight, or even simultaneously with other labels)

Hetero aro and ace people. Especially. Seriously.

People with fluid orientations

Gnc people who find joy in their straightness

Many queer people are also straight. Queerness is note solely reliant on gayness. These people too, are a part of pride. Remember that.

[All discourse attempts will be swiftly blocked. Exclusionists fuck off]

some reminders as we go from queer pride month into disabled pride month:

queer disabled people exist! we're not special rare unicorns collecting shit that "makes us special"

a lot of queer events aren't disability-friendly and a lot of disabled events aren't queer-friendly, sort yourselves out because once again, queer disabled people exist

queer liberation and disabled liberation are connected, you can't have one without the other

queers don't have a monopoly on pride, disabled pride month existing isn't appropriating fuck all from queer people

abled queers: please stop centring yourselves in july by calling it queer pride month 2.0, disabled pride month is already way less visible and you're not helping

the queer community has an ableism problem and the disabled community has a queerantagonism problem, leaving queer disabled people feeling unsafe and unwelcome in either and being stuck in tiny fringe communities

it's not "pride month and disabled pride month". disabled pride month is literally also pride month. june is QUEER pride month. again, queers don't have a monopoly on pride, queer pride is not the default

july is not wrath month, it is pride month

stop using "autistic" as an insult for queer people you don't like

queer disabled people are awesome
