Wait what's a buildings fire evacuation plan if you aren't supposed to use the elevator to get down
fellow LSN disabled people, this is coming from a place of much compassion and love. i hear you when you say you’re jealous of MSN/HSN people’s support. how you wish you could have such support. mental health is complicated and it’s hard to see through emotions and trauma.
but i really need you to understand that our higher support needs disabled friends aren’t inherently privileged for having said support. while it may be that if you had that same support your QOL would improve, they most likely need the support you’re jealous of to literally survive.
the point i really want to make here is there is a difference between support for QOL and support to SURVIVE. people die without these supports. that is not a privileged position to be in.
you’re allowed to be upset and angry that you don’t have the life you want and deserve, but please focus those feelings on society and governments. because they are the ones that created a world in which it is so hard for us to exist.
we need to be friends to each other, not throwing around misdirected anger and blame. please take time to listen to MSN/HSN disabled people and learn about their experiences, there are so many people out there begging to be heard.
Queer, undiagnosed, disabled, homeless artist still trying my best to be happy
After my PTSD was triggered I could no longer live with my childhood abuser. The stress caused me to get ill. I moved out so I wouldn't have to live with them. I'm Now temporarily living at with my girlfriend's now. My condition has been getting worse. I can't walk without a can. My lab results keep coming back normal, but I suspect I have pots.
ENOUGH WITH THIS SAD SHIT THOUGH
After several months of taking a social media break, I'm back! I want a community, a place to show my art, and maybe even make a business.
This is me, this is my art ٩(๑`^´๑)۶
If you like my art, or are another chronically ill baddie, feel free to follow it even dm me (^_-)-☆
Join me in voting tactically to Stop The Tories, and together we'll make sure our votes are actually earned next time. Smart voters have political power. https://stopthetories.vote/
GUYS THIS IS A REALLY HELPFUL TOOL IF YOU LIVE IN THE UK!!!
Use your vote tactically in this coming election on July 4th so that you can vote for who you actually want to in the next one.
Please please register to vote and go to your local polling station (or by post/proxy) in this election. It's really important especially for trans/ queer/ disabled people/ any marginalised community really. We stand to lose even more rights and the slim protections than we do have if the Tories or even worse, Reform, gain power.
Please share this to any friends or family who are also eligible to vote and are unsure of who is the best vote in your constituency!
Let's get the Tories out!
