This shouldn't even have to be said, but there are various people and groups online who have taken to "diagnosing" people they hate with Autism, Narcissistic Personality Disorder, and Antisocial Personality Disorder. Note that those are just the ones I have recently seen firsthand, and I generally avoid looking for things I know will just upset me, so I'm sure there are more.
when programs fucking autocorrect <3 to ❤️ and :) to 😃,,,, do you have any idea what you’ve just done?? what you just fucking destroyed ?

Doctor: $140,000 a year
Furry artist on Patreon: $160,000 a year
i think you’re lowballing the furry art amount tbh
I’m sorry for the inaccuracies, Doctor Yiff
no matter how I respond to this I don’t look good, well played. i walked right into that
Well, furry artists are typically more competent and courteous than your average doctor, so I can see that.
Did you just legitimately tell me that a person who draws wolf ass is more competent than a dude who spent 8+ years in a university to give you your lung transplant?
doctors are bullshit and furry artists perform an infinitely more valuable service to society compared to them
You will die in 7 days
It took doctor’s like 10 years to diagnose what was wrong with me, some insisting I was faking for attention while a furry artist I knew just went “that sounds like crohn’s” after hearing me complain once and ended up being right
Also I can’t go to a doctor and ask them to draw Rouge the Bat wider than she is tall with tits to match, now can I
You could if you weren’t a fucking coward

[ID: a comic illustrating the above thread as if it was happening in a theater. The users are mostly shaped like their icons, pukicho is a pikachu and hokuto-ju-no-ken is a gengar. The last panel is gengar looks back where a speech bubble comes out of the crowd to say, “you could if you weren’t a fucking coward.” /end]
I can’t believe I’m actually seeing this post
Magic of tumblr,
I am morally obligated to add the YouTube video whenever this thread crosses my dash
I’ve seen this thread more than a few times. But this is the first time I’ve seen this video. So thank you for your service.
Does your walk of shame involve clearing all the cups and mugs off your desk and taking them to the sink to wash or are you neurotypical?
Tumblr is thinking of implementing an algorithm instead of a following feed to ‘help smaller creators get in front of people’ and I’m like that’s what putting tags on your posts is for?
I’ve curated my following feed over YEARS and I don’t want it all of a sudden junked up with shit I’m not interested in because of some fucking algorithm. If smaller creators want to be seen, then they should put stuff in the tags. Putting random people’s shit all over my feed is not going to make me want to engage with it.
The reason why so many people like this website is because you are in control of tailoring your experience on here. But what that requires is some work— you can’t just come on here and expect it to be immediately altered to you personally. That being said, an algorithm that just throws shit at you that it thinks you’ll like is not the answer. At the end of the day it’s going to actually make it harder for people to tailor their experience on here, which will make the site worse.
"people using their diagnoses as an excuse" is never anywhere near as common of a problem as "people using other peoples diagnoses as an excuse to hurt them"
I wasn't going to derail the disability pride month post for people with peanut allergies but in relation to that topic
I have never seen another allergy that has been so viscerally hated and mocked by people working in education like nut allergies. I've seen fellow teachers cringe that their classroom was the "nut free" classroom that year. Support staff that are trained and willfully don't follow cross contamination protocol in the lunchroom because it's too "tedious" or "time-consuming". Full preschools + childcare centers that refuse to accommodate nut allergies. Schools where the only free lunch is a PB&J. Before/after school programs and summer programs whose food curriculum has nuts and doesn't provide an alternative activity.
Allergy discrimination is so so insidious and prevalent. It's happening behind their back and it is everything from the exposure joke to possibly causing someone to go into anaphylaxis from willful ignorance.
Also other parents in the classroom are guilty too. The "not my child not my problem" brain rot means that those lunchboxes are like bombs for airborne exposure allergies
I was not downplaying this. The stigma is real, and people are 100% willing to let people with allergies die.
This woman was laughed at for asking for allergy accommodations at multiple points in her trip, and was denied to the point that she was practically told she'd be refused care in the event of anaphylaxis.
When I'm in charge of the planet, it will be illegal to make a job posting unless you are actively searching for a candidate.
Lean staffing will also be illegal. If you need three people to do a job, you're hiring four.
You are also either earning an amount or you are not earning that amount. 'Earn up to 21.50/hr' no. Either you're paying 21.50 or you are not paying 21.50. Tell the truth or jail for employer for 1000 years.
If someone asks for 2 years experience for an entry level job paying just above minimum wage, you should be legally permitted to launch them into the fucking sun.
there's something to be said about how this society sees i/dd, visibly different, congenitally disabled people, but i never know how to say it in any other way than "eugenics" and "HISTORICALLY abled people don't like us in particular" because the feelings just make me fucking incoherent with grief and rage and i wish i could word it the way i need to but i can't
i know what society thinks of people like me because it's the way abled people made me feel when i was little, and the way they treated the other kids who were like me or who had worse disabilities than mine, like we weren't human, we were dogs
i can't help but feel like no matter where i go, even online, i don't belong. i'm childish and weird and easily angered and frustrated and impatient, i don't understand stuff everyone else does, i can SEE my disability in my art, how it affects it, my face and body don't look like the faces and bodies of most of the people i see, i'm short and i have a baby face in addition to all the ways my disability has wracked my face, my mouth sags and i always have my mouth open and i look confused and dazed and my eye rolls back and my arms are squishy, i know what people think of people who look and act like me, i know how people treat me when i'm by myself vs when i'm with mom, like it's better if i have a handler and when i don't it's "what are you doing here, you shouldn't be here", even in dr's offices where people like me should be not only expected but welcome
yet it's not my experience that even drs know anything about conditions like mine and i'm told that's because congenital conditions are "not common" which is fucking laughable that's what they fucking want you to think, so they can erase people like me, that's why you don't fucking see us on tv or in most art and media, that's why you don't know what our conditions are or what our lives are like, and that's why you're given so much space to make assumptions about it even though history doesn't back you up on it. the ideology behind freak shows and the ugly laws both never went away, it was foundational
i knew so many other visibly different i/dd disabled kids in both of my schools. there was another kid with strabismus who waddled like i did. another kid got sick and when other kids hurt them the teachers didn't do anything
i saw many visibly different disabled people when i went out before
i'm tired of it. "it's rare that's why you never see it" yeah whatever that's an excuse and it's not fucking rare it's never been fucking rare that's why ableist eugenics targeted/targets us specifically so often that's why we're always made fun of on tv, ableism against us is fucking BAKED into us american social culture
i wasn't "born wrong". i wish i had been born healthy and able bodied, but the fact that i wasn't doesn't mean i was "born wrong" or that i'm a mistake or an aberration or a punishment to my parents or being punished myself
i'm not a defect or a malformation or an abnormality
i'm tired of it
this is an invitation to any other congenitally disabled people to reply or comment whatever they think about this because i can't be coherent
My chronic pain disabilities (hip fuckery; migraines) do not stop me from working. It doesn't mean I should treat my disabilities with less respect than disabilities that DO make it impossible to work.
When my endo pain was at its worse, I did all the things I was supposed to do--according to HR--to protect my job. I filed ADA paperwork. I communicated when I used it. I had the doctor's note. Etc.
Two days before my hysterectomy, I got a call from HR. "Oh, we're not sure we'll have work for you after you recover."
Which, first of all, is fucking illegal to say to someone who has ADA paperwork in place with you.
And, second of all, you're a fucking liar. I was the ONLY tech writer in a company of 500 people. Don't bullshit me.
I should have filed a complaint and sued the fuck out of them, but all I wanted to do was be able to possibly get out of pain and not have to worry about my paycheck after that. So, I called someone else in the company who I knew would lose his shit if I told him I'd basically just been told I had no work to do.
Two days after surgery, I had an email from HR to my personal account. Which, technically, they ALSO should not have used to contact me while on medical leave that was--like my disability paperwork--100% lined up and signed off on.
But the HR person wanted me to know that "Oh, looks like there IS work for you! Lol! Didn't know!"
This is bullshit. She was very aware.
Years later, I'm at a much better company. My supervisor, who is nothing but supportive, recently floated that it might be good to have ADA paperwork in place for my migraines because they flare during stress, which is the time I'm needed at work THE MOST.
No shit: I went into hard shutdown for about two minutes after he said it. It wasn't a threat or a dismissal of my migraines. It was him going, "Oh, hey, so no one can ever try to use them against you to say you're bad with stress, you might do this."
But all I felt was how I was absolutely fucked over by a bad company because they said, "You need to follow these legal steps," and I did, and they still tried to get around them.
So, no, I'm not dealing with getting punished if I have more than 2k in my bank account. I'm not dealing with people touching me, or my assistive devices (I don't currently use any). I can park anywhere in a lot and walk to the store entrance. But I was disabled, and I AM disabled, and I have had people try to punish me for existing in a body that just fucking HURTS because it HURTS.
It's Disability Awareness Month. I am disabled. Less so than I was ten years ago, which is a fucking stroke of luck. But also my right hip has started to go now, and who knows what the next 10 years will bring.
It's Disability Awareness Month. If someone says, "I'm disabled, and I want to talk about my experience," please pay attention and listen and learn and understand there's all sorts of ways disabled people are fighting to be treated with basic human dignity and under the basic rule of law.
so embarrassing when i forget im checking someone's blog and i start scrolling through and liking and reblogging shit as if it's just my dash. it feels like wandering into someone else's apartment and not noticing and making myself lunch
reblog if i can wander into your apartment (blog) and make myself lunch (like and reblog as if it's my dash)
Many trans and disability advocates have expressed how transphobic bathroom policies harm the disability community, and cases like this unfortunately illustrate that point. Discrimination always spreads, and we must work in solidarity to combat it.
i have legitimately no concept of what other people do or do not know.
i'm either;
1) talking about the most obscure things and assuming everyone knows basically everything about this (what fool DOESN'T know historical facts about spoons?!?!?111?!?) and getting very strange and judgemental looks
or
2) saying things like "so the sun- you guys know what that is, right???" and getting laughed at
like, where the fuck are people going that psychiatric / mental disability, broadly construed, is remotely accommodated? nominally "accessible" spaces disregard the overwhelming majority of sensory needs (beyond, for example, the provision of stim toys for those who need them, or a mitigation of the very loudest sounds - necessary but not sufficient for anything resembling a sensory-accessible space). comportment norms within the context of public space - disdain, fear, and hatred for "erratic behavior," from talking to oneself, to not making eye-contact, to repeated checking/entering and exiting, mean that vast swaths of mentally disabled people cannot enter public spaces, and, if we are able to enter, we're soon expelled. not even to mention the overlap between architectural inaccessibility - the acoustic design of buildings, the (non)maintenance of restrooms, the ubiquity of alcohol, the lack of railings/protections in high/exposed places - and social inaccessibility.
assertions that the world is, somehow, built for the Able-Bodied Neurodivergent boogeyman disregards both the myriad intersections of systemic ableism and systemic saneism, and the ways in which social / cultural interactions are in and of themselves architectural - the social world is a built world, informed by and informing the physical structures that populate it.
"yeah i have (chronic medical condition)"
"have you tried-" *the sounds of 1000 beasts being released*
