Excuse me while I put on my exosuit
Mood- except I can’t find a good quality corset
Anyone know where I can get one?
Teach your children that disabled people not only exist, but also are human beings just like them.
That there is nothing “wrong”, “weird”, or “abnormal” about disabled people.
That they have lives just like everyone.
That they are a part of everyday and everywhere.
That they are not more or less than anyone.
That accommodations and mobility aids are nothing strange or unusual.
That just like everyone else, disabled people’s privacies, boundaries, personal spaces, and bodily autonomies should be respected.
I spent a little time decorating Wheelie Jean. I think she’s prettier now.

I get the whole Mad Pride/Disability Pride thing and I have no issue with it existing. I’m really glad that it’s there for people who need it!!! /gen
I’m just really tired of having it forced on me.
Anyone can opt in or out of any community. I’m not saying that Mad Pride and Disability Pride don’t exist, or that the communities aren’t real, just that I choose not to participate. And people get mad at me for that.
So no, I’m not proud to be disabled, neurodivergent, or mentally ill.
I’m proud to still be alive.
And for me, those aren’t the same thing.
Happy Disability Pride to our disabled nonbinary siblings!
