enjoy my shitpost.

This whole obsession with wheelchair users struggling on foot down the aisle at their wedding or across the stage for graduation is 100% powered by ableism.

“The heartwarming story of how one woman worked for 8 months straight so she could escape the horror that is being in wheelchair for a few short minutes to struggle slowly and painfully down the aisle on her special day.”

“the horror that is being in a wheelchair” bitch it’s hella better than struggling slowly & painfully down the aisle ffs

“Despite being permanently paralyzed, her one goal since her accident has been to walk across the stage for graduation. The whole crowd gave her a standing ovation and broke into tears when she dragged her paralyzed legs across the stage with the help of leg braces and a walker to collect her diploma, after which she immediately sat back down in her wheelchair, which she will use to move around for the rest of her life.”

How the hell is this an inspirational story? This person needs better goals. And a therapist.

They’re toxic in an even greater way because as a disabled person, I didn’t realise till I was reading this how much I had internalised that. I genuinely have had feelings of fear and shame about using a chair or a walker if I get married. And why? Because I’m constantly seeing “heartwarming” stories about disabled people who shed their mobility aids for that moment. Why the hell am I afraid of using them to get married? Anyone who marries me or attends the wedding will know I need them and love me regardless.

Bless this post for making me realise I’d internalised that shit.

These types of stories teach people, both abled and disabled, that using mobility aids, especially wheelchairs, is inferior.

here are some beautiful brides in chairs with dresses they ROCK. I know a lot of disabled ppl with internalized ableism think they “won’t look good” if they use their chair, but here’s some literally gorgeous gals for ur consideration

(that last ones cute as fuck and i teared up at it)

Who needs a bouquet when you can be a bouquet?

I made my addition to this post in June 2019. Its now January 2020 and I no longer feel guilty about the idea of going down the aisle one day with mobility aids.

God bless the disabled community, y'all saved me from some internalised bullshit

This post floated by a few months ago, and I remember something to effect of there’s a difference between recovery and refusal. That is, like, I have a friend that suffered an incomplete spinal cord injury. He can walk again now, and I don’t think I’ve seen him use his chair in a few years. When he walked at his graduation, it was to show off his recovery. That he wasn’t quite ready to go through a full day upright, but he could walk across a stage, unassisted, and soon he would be able to do that every day. There’s also a difference in someone like me choosing to not use a mobility aid. My mobility is intensely fluid, especially seasonally. So, I would plan a summer wedding. And while I love my cane it can also be the biggest pain in my ass, so I’d want to just go unassisted. But that’s normal for me, at least right now. I can walk without an aid during about half of the year. It’s reasonable to assume I can make it through one day without it. All of that is different than someone that is fully and permanently paralyzed, that will never walk again, dragging themselves along because they feel that’s somehow better. Overall though, my biggest takeaway is fuck the media. Because disabled people should be able to make whatever decision they want without the media turning it into this grand inspirational story.

THIS.

Couldn’t pass up the opportunity to add my disabled joy to this post. Look at this love!

Taking the opportunity to add these photos of Jessica Kellgren-Fozard and her wife Claudia, from this twitter post. Jessica also has a youtube channel that’s primarily about disability and chronic illness and LGBT stuff (it’s amazing!) 

My experience as an extra in IT Chapter 2 (night one)

This took a long time to write but guys it’s pretty cool! Pls read??! There will be a part two about night two by the way.

Ok so, in June 2018 just before school ended, I drove to the filming location of Derry where they had a sign up to become an extra. I was number 118 of about 800 people in line that day. Fast forward to Early September, they emailed me and my friend to be a part of the fair scene with Adrian Mellon at the beginning of the movie. All I can tell you is that my experience was amazing as shit. Being an extra in a regular movie that I don’t really care about would have been a big enough achievement but, being in the sequel to my favourite movie of all time? Amazing. Extraordinary. I can just say I’m extremely lucky to have been a part of this. So it was a night shoot that was set to start at 7pm and we would shoot for one night until 7am the next morning. All night. First, we went to a church basement (weird ik) and we got into our costumes and we had to sign a bunch of legal stuff blah blah blah..... Now they placed my friend and I on the water gun booth of the fair. We were probably the most lucky at that fair because that was the fair booth that Adrian Mellon was at, which meant we would definitely be seen in the movie. At around 10pm one of the assistant directors came up to me and my friend and asked, “could you guys come back tomorrow?” So obviously we said yes. They got our names and personal phone numbers so we could go back the second night. Now, the filming location was outside next to a river, in September (in Canada btw) so.. it was VERY COLD OK I FREEZED MY ASS OFF. I had a small jean jacket but they told me I couldn’t button it up While shooting because I didn’t have it zipped up to begin with. Very sad because I was so cold. We would get many breaks though. Anyways, at lunch we talked to nice people and they gave us a full buffet of food which was cool. Our “lunch” (lol it was 3am so technically not lunch) tent was placed in the park, you know, the one with the huge Paul bonyon statue. It was really fun because we got to play around in the park even though it was freezing but it was so fun. We would always walk back to set because it was literally a 2 minute walk from our tent so we could never go inside. (Unless if it was for the bathroom, which by the way was literally a trailer so..) basically we just got to shoot the water guns all night, and pretend to talk to the guy in the booth all night for the shoot. Lastly, we went home at about 7:30am because it went a little later then expected. Idc tho because that meant more money 😂

And that was night one!!!!!! Part two will be up soon...

Current friendship status: lonely 17 year old loser sitting in her bedroom eating 24 pack of Oreos wishing she had more friends her Age that actually like her and actually want to hangout instead of trying to be a fake friend of pretending you like me when really you just wanted to have sex with the guy you knew I had a crush on

WHAT

even after reading the article… is this for real?

and still there are people who think we [women] are exaggerating when we say men will literally kills us for denying their advances.

not only did he kill her. he took her fucking head off and posted it for everyone to see.

Please be careful with ace positivity tags right now, people have been posting images of her body in those tags.

A few days before she was killed a she posted a selfie on Instagram tagged #ThisIsWhatAsexualLooksLike. And now she’s dead for not having sex with a man. I never want to hear an exclusionist say we’re not oppressed ever again.

Please, for the love of god, reblog this and know her name. Bianca Devins. She was asexual, and she was killed for rejecting sexual advances. This is the violence and fear we’ve been trying to speak out about. If you call yourself an activist, this cannot be ignored. Please support and protect aces, this kind of event is literally what exclusionists have been ignoring and mocking the concept of for years.

This isn’t about asexuals it’s about women

this isn’t about asexuals it’s about women

She was a woman who rejected a man, you think if she had said “yeah I’m not into you but I’m not asexual” the ending would have been different? No.

That man was human garbage who preyed on a woman who refused his advances, not a man who thought asexuals should have sex with him. I hope he dies slowly.

Fuck off with your “asexuals” bullshit. Her orientation was irrelevant. She was murdered because she was female (not even a woman yet, she was a girl).
