Everyone deserves the opportunity to dress their best. That’s why I’m so glad to be able to share Tommy Hilfiger’s innovative #TommyAdaptive collection with you. #TommyPartner
I know this is very important for people with disabilities and such but all I’m thinking is “Oh this is where super heroes get their shirts from.”
This shit looks awesome. :D
Me:* an autistic person vibing to a song and taking every word of the song literally. *
People: ACTAULLY THIS SONG AS A SUPER DEEP AND HIDDEN MEANING! YOU’RE A BAD/DUMB PERSON IF YOU DIDN’T INSTANTLY GET IT!! HOW COULD YOU NOT SEE THE SUPER DEEP HIDDEN MEANING?!
Me:
Saying “that’s karma” about people having disabilities or getting diseases is very ableist.
TW + CW: ableism
I saw two reddit posts today
1. A six year old girl gets a agressive form of cancer and may die.
2. A 11 year old girl gets paralyzed in a tragic accident
So what were people’s reactions??
Saying that’s karma because the parents, kids or someone tbe kid knows did something “ bad ” so people claiming the kids “ deserved ” such things..
I see this a lot. People claiming disabilities and illnesses are “ deserved ” and “ karma” because the person or someone they know did something bad…
Like it’s so messed up to say that such things are deserved and karma.
But also it has some really f×cked up underlying implications that people truly believe those with disabilities or illnesses are bad people that deserved it or in somehow karma.
disability advocacy went wrong when it became about inspiration porn and “differently abled” and savants. its incredible that that guy with no legs did a triathlon but your sister with no legs will not and she doesnt need prosthetics or five hour training days to deserve respect and compassion and accommodations. its incredible that that autistic guy can look at a city from a helicopter for an hour and then draw the entire detailed skyline from memory when he lands but your autistic friend cannot and they dont need to have a special Autism Power to deserve respect and compassion and accommodations.
activism framed around “we are just as CAPABLE” means that when people genuinely are less capable they are left behind. activism framed around “we are just as WORTHY” is fundamental to radical compassion.

i hate having to Do Things but the only thing worse than Doing Things is Not Doing Things
its just so fucking unfair that disabled people need extra support but in order to actually get that extra support we have to have both the energy and ability to express ourselves to deal with the bureaucracy of getting that support and i just. i am so tired.
you don’t have to tell people what your mobility aid is for if you don’t want to.
you don’t owe invasive people anything.
you don’t need to justify your aid.
you don’t need to give out your medical details to anyone you don’t want to give them to.
you deserve to be able to just exist in peace, and to use your mobility aid whenever you need to.
I know it’s not the worst aspect of being disabled, but I loathe the sheer amount of rubbish I generate from all my medication boxes and blister packs, and a lot of it isn’t recyclable
I specify both #ChronicIllness and #disability because the former is part of the latter, and many people think they shouldn’t ID as #disabled or have difficulty finding their place within the community. Recognizing that your ability level fluctuates does not shut you out. Most of ours do. While not all chronic illnesses are consistently disabling, if you have one, you have likely needed the protections afforded by the #ADA. Chronic illnesses are #InvisibleDisabilities. You belong.

I’m so thankful for the support you give to HospitalGlam and the thousands of people who participate in it. Today I’m thankful that my health isn’t as bad as it was when I began the project, and that I can spend more time outside of clinical spaces. I am always advocating for chronically ill and disabled people wherever I am. I would appreciate your continued support while I navigate these uncertain avenues. Thank you again.

I had the incredible pleasure of getting to visit and chat with @toitroutman for a little while last week. This woman is a badass who’s been living with #lupus for decades, and told me a lot about her recent admits. Swapping stories about hospitalists and the confusion that comes with the gap between how we look and how our bodies behave felt like a deep exhale. Sometimes there’s nothing more healing than community. #HospitalGlam

if i’m meant to get help, i will.
hi beautiful souls, i hope you are doing well! i could really use some help.
i have been waiting 6 MONTHS to move into my new apartment. i’ve lived with my mom and roommates my entire life, this will be my very first own place where i can finally heal and be free. it’s ready to move in next week. i had the money saved up until yesterday, where i had 2 choices: pay part of the rent at my current place, or be evicted. i had to pay $300, making me that much short of moving. and that only covered rent until Feb 16th. i can’t afford to pay full rent here, so if i don’t move out by then, i will be evicted.
i asked my spirit guides what i should do, and they said i should ask online, and that i will find the money.
i need help raising $300 to move. i am disabled, and the gov doesn’t pay much for disability. i have no other way of finding the money, except social media. i would make a gofundme but they don’t give you the donations immediately, and i need them by Wednesday (Feb 16).
literally anything helps, if everyone donated $5 it would reach my goal in no time. i can’t be evicted, or it will go on my record and i won’t be able to find a place to live in the future. if you can donate anything, and i mean anything,my paypal, cashapp, and venmo are all amijo21
if you can’t donate, please reblog and help boost. if i am meant to get help, i will. thank you for reading.
hi beautifuls, this is my other account. please donate/boost
please read & signal boost
hi beautiful souls, i am once again in a horrible position and cannot afford more groceries until dec 1st. i need help and have 2 options-
a) go back to my abusive narc mom and beg for money (which she will most likely not help and let me starve)
or b) beg for money on the internet
so i’m choosing option b first. my mental & physical health cannot take this, i’m disabled so i don’t have a job and no one’s hiring me bc of it. i lost a bit of weight last month bc i didn’t have food, it can’t happen again, i’m very sick.
i don’t want to go hungry again. if there’s anything you can do, even $5, please. anything is appreciated and can help.
if you cannot donate, please signal boost this. my posts don’t tend to get more than 3 notes, so i’m worried this won’t get far.
my cashapp/venmo/paypal are all amijo21
i love you
please help
your 20s are about fucking up your hair and getting long overdue medical diagnoses actually
Good to know that I - in true gifted kid fashion - started my 20s four years early
