This has been happening to meeee, i’m not disabled, but after a long medical episode I had to relearn to walk and I still am not up to speed to how I was before, and I also get tired more easily, so I’ve been begging my fast walker friends to slow down a bit and (thankfully) they do most the time, but I have to remind them constantly 😅

a rough drawing of me with my cane, chasing after a friend who is walking way faster than i am. i call after them: "hey, can you slow down a bit?" to which they reply: "i can't help it i'm GAY." i shout back: "AND I'M NOT?!?" (i am). they continue to walk quickly. i'm left standing there thinking: "i want to go home."

slow down for your disabled friends. thats like a bare minimum kindness that we shouldnt have to ask for. i love that youre so quirky and walking fast is a cool personality trait to you and all that but i bet you can count your physically disabled friends on less than one hand

that meme of spongebob about to be crushed by an ice cream truck with text on top:
"i am not trying to make an argument that the 'move im gay' meme is ableist on its own. im complaining about this specific thing that happened in my life where someone used a silly meme as some sort of excuse for being unaccommodating to a friend. it was like the 'there are no elevators to success, you must use the stairs' thing but about my gay card"
