Pause. The casual way baby rolls off his tongue šāāļøšāāļø

me:
also:
yes, and i second that with my envy and distain.
is this a safe space to say Iām full of jealousy and hatred
kiss me on your chevrolet ą©ą§
I donāt talk about my disabilities often on here because i like to escape from them when I can, but I think itās a good time to say,
Able bodied people LOVE to hate disabled people.
I recently went to Disneyland for the day, i place i grew up visiting and still love. But for the first time in all my visits, i rented a wheelchair. Which I personally do not regret - im generally not a mobility aide user but I have needed ambulatory aides in the past, so as a precaution I got the wheelchair. The last time I visited without use of a chair I was so exhausted I couldnāt really use my ankles by noon, and Iām not leaving till the park closes. The wheelchair saved me from so much pain, fatigue and discomfort, it made the visit better for me and the people with me.
And I came to the conclusion, Disney is the one place you can really experience the true view people have on handicapped people.
Some park goers were very understanding and helpful, some literally walked into me, or pushed the chair out of their way as if I wasnāt in it. Some people didnāt look me in the eye, and some would only look at me in the eye.
Many conversations went something like:
š±š»
āHi!ā
And the eye contact does get weird after maybe two uninterrupted seconds.
And others were more like:
š
And pretending like Iām not there is really awkward.
All in all, I know it fucking sucks i exist and canāt walk safely for extended periods of time! I know I should leave the wheelchair for people actually canāt walk! I know I shouldnāt stand up and walk because Iām wheelchair bound! I know you hate me!
But Iām not here for you, my wheelchair wasnāt specifically designed to be a problem for you! I just canāt walk.
Youāre lucky you can, youāre lucky the pain I feel on an average basis is your emergency room level pain!
Itās important that able bodied people remember and recognize, you donāt have to treat people with walkers, crutches, canes, wheelchairs, scooters, or any other aides, like kids. Im a human, with a brain, thoughts, emotions, and opinions. And just like you, I can tell this interaction is going really bad.
Donāt stare to be polite, donāt stare to be rude. Donāt overly sympathize, or question. Donāt yell at us, or for us. Iām not a make a wish kid, if I were Iād be in Europe, not Disneyland.
able-bodied people will claim to be disability activists and then they'll get pissed at you if you don't have the physical energy to respond 'timely'. or if you sleep a lot due to exhaustion. or if you can't get out much (or at all!) for an array of reasons. or if your hygiene isn't up to their standards because you can't wash yourself. or if you have 'inconvenient' allergies or dietary restrictions that they don't want to cater to. or if you're unemployed. or if you have a medical emergency that gets in the way of their plans (especially if you have to cancel last minute). or if you can't do any other 'normal' thing that is more difficult/impossible thanks to an array of disabilities because, get this, they are disabling. fuck that. disabled people don't owe the world an illusion of good health for the sake of the able-bodied. love disabled people without condition.
Praying for the job!!!
