I held the power of a dying sun
I climb the altar and I claim my place as God
Though I am often in the depths of misery, there is still calmness, pure harmony, and music inside me.
— Vincent van Gogh

If you've ever told a person who's had to be bedbound for a period of time that you wish you could "just stay in bed", DO IT.
Stay in bed. For days. But don't get up if someone needs you to, or you get bored, or you get antsy. Don't do anything other than rest. Just lie in your bed, whether you need to get stuff done around the house or socialize or anything else "productive". You'll have to cancel on people, you'll disappoint them, they won't understand.
And if you're thinking, "well, i CAN'T just be in bed. There's stuff that has to be done - I have plans", maybe ask yourself why you assumed a disabled person doesn't have plans or things to do or desires.
my name is detective sleeping and im about to get started on my toughest case yet. the pillow case
reminder to people that cripplepunk isnt just ‘punk aesthetic but disabled’
cripplepunk is a disability movement
cripplepunk has its own principals and tenets
its more than just patches, pins, and plaid
skin is not supposed to be perfectly smooth and clear and unblemished. it’s literally like 5 sq ft of organ that’s ENTIRELY ON THE OUTSIDE OF YOUR BODY. it’s supposed to protect you and your organs and your muscles and ligaments etc. without skin that can adapt we would all be riddled with infections and pain. even “imperfect” skin loves you and doesn’t want you to suffer. be nice to it . it is your friend
