some of you want to be social workers and psychologists and doctors but the way y’all come on here and talk about disabled people and people with mental illnesses... find another profession
non disabled people need to watch this so they learn how to stop infantilizing disabled adults.
disabled adults have sex, party, go to college, drink & do everything non disabled adults do — even if that makes you uncomfortable. stop treating us like children!!!!!!!
these are all barriers that prevent disabled people from being able to complete their courses. if we keep remote options, then that means disabled people could still join class even if they’re having a bad pain day or if they simply can’t get out of bed.
I’m 21 and I use a wheelchair. There’s nothing wrong with that, despite people telling me that I should work to stop using it because I’m “young”. My wheelchair gives me independence and the freedom to not be in pain.

Don’t be selfish and put yourself and your beliefs before someone who has a mental illness and/or suicidal thoughts. It’s not your job to tell them how they’re supposed to feel or to shame them for feeling that way.
i dislocated my shoulder back in the summer and missed a class bc i was in a lot of pain. my professor literally just said i had to drop the class because she doesn’t record it and because missing a day was already “setting me behind”
disclaimer; if you’re not disabled, i don’t care about how you “learn better in person” or how you think we’re “too dependent” on technology or whatever. i am talking about MY disabled experience. this is not about you.
the way that yall will find any excuse to invalidate what disabled people say is baffling…
no one said DoorDash “exists” for disabled people. we are saying that as a delivery person, you should be MINDFULLL that not every person will be able to go outside and get their order.
you’d think that with the amount of disabled people who have had to stop their education bc of these policies, some kind of change would be made. but nope; since disabled people are not a priority then they simply don’t care whether or not we continue with our studies.
kanye was over here doing weird shit but y’all said nothing about him being demonic, lil nas x posts a pic w a baby bump and y’all pull out the Bible scriptures… when will y’all admit that it’s not about religion and all about your homophobia/transphobia?
y’all act like being disabled is just the most horrible thing that you can wish upon someone as if
1. you could never become disabled ever in your life
2. this isn’t the norm for many of us since the day we were born.
me being disabled isn’t a “karma”, I’m just disabled.
literally remember being told in elementary, middle and high school that in case of a fire, I’d have to stay in a room and “wait” for someone to come get me while everyone else evacuated. this is very, very real.
As a disabled person left behind in fire drills, school shooting drills, and has met with emergency responders on how to evacuate disabled people in an emergency:
THERE IS NO FUCKING WAY TO EVACUATE DISABLED PEOPLE FROM A HOSPITAL WITH ZERO INFRASTRUCTURE.
y’all are saying that you don’t care about the horrible comments being made abt Wendy Williams and her appearance/health because it’s “karma” ? her being chronically ill is “karma” ?? please go to hell

I’m very sorry for your loss, I’m sure it must’ve been horrible to experience that kind of loss and I see that can be a different interpretation for the sign. I just feel like quotes like that disregard the feelings and experiences of the person who are having those thoughts.
this is the worst take i have seen coming from her stans because
1. Palestinians themselves are using Twitter to spread awareness and update us on whether or not they’re alive everyday
2. YOU, YOURSELF are also using the app.
literally, yall are proving to be so ignorant.
Y’all do realize that disabled people are worthy of love and respect and to have companionship? Just like anyone else? Y’all love to paint a picture as though the abled person is simply an aid and that’s all there is to the relationship.
Disabled students really have been fighting to be accommodated with online classes due to chronic illness and the pain it brings... only to be rejected by faculty. Academic ableism is very real.
this makes me so happy!!!!!
many disabled people can’t grip small objects or struggle due to pain, this is great. i love when brands actually try to make things accessible for us.
non disabled people - i genuinely cannot tell you how much i DONT care if you disagree, if you think I’m “lazy”, or if you think im trying to sound “woke”
if you don’t care about disabled people, that’s on you.
We aren’t objects. We are human beings, just like anyone else, who crave affection and respect. Viewing our partners as our “caregiver” and assuming that the only reason they are with us is to assist with tasks and nothing more is so harmful and offensive.
I’m not going to strain my body to stop using my wheelchair simply because ableist people can’t fathom me, a young person, actually using it. It helps me, keeps me safe and gives me independence. There’s nothing wrong w that.

it shows how every disabled person is different! which is exactly why the option should be made available, even if not every student uses it
the tweet: i am accommodating and understanding of delivery drivers but some of them don’t understand that disabled people exist and that we can’t go out to get our orders
yall: WELL DOORDASH IS NOT DESIGNED FOR YOU! SUCK IT UP!!
it’s so wild how now colleges want us all in person and disabled people are now gonna have to fight for online courses and get rejected bc it’s only a problem when the lives of able bodied people are inconvenienced 🥰
delivery workers deserve fair and higher wages, no one is invalidating or against that.
we’re just saying that doordashers should also realize that disabled people exist and be more accommodating toward that. why is that so controversial?
