im expecting a lot of "pride month is over, now it's time for wrath month" posts. that's cool and all. but july is disability pride month.

pride month is when you're SUPPOSED to be angry. it's a celebration AND a riot. that was the best time to get angry. second best time is now. but it's not wrath month. let disabled people have this.

please get angry with us. please fight with us! we are both losing our rights, if we ever even had them to begin with. please don't talk over us, especially during our own pride month.

did you know over 10,000 people die a year while waiting to be told whether or not they can receive disability benefits?

did you know while being provided disability benefits, disabled people cannot have more than $2,000 total in their bank account? the average rent for an apartment in the united states, as of last month, is $1,995. per month.

while they want to kill queer people, they want to kill disabled people just as bad. please look out for your disabled friends and family. please look out for those of us who don't have friends and family. those of us who are out on the streets.

If you want to call yourself "madpunk", "cripplepunk", "neuropunk", etc, your activism better not stop at the things you find "bad". People with no empathy. People with personality disorders. People who need their aids in daily life. People who have extreme fluctuating emotions. People with paraphilias. People with dissociative disorders. Psychotic people. People who have different modes of eating, excreting, having sex, etc. Homeless people. People who wear diapers. People who have violent urges/thoughts. People who you think are "dangerous". People who use drugs. People who need medication to survive and live. People with physical deformities. People who have delusions. People who struggle with feeding themselves, cleaning, working, etc.

If you think any of these factors make someone "abusive", you are ableist. Abusers are abusive. None of the above things make someone an abuser.

Madpunk and cripplepunk aren't just "adhd and autism punk". Or "mobility aid user punk". Keep that in mind.

dearest trans women, trans girls and tranfems who are lesbian or sapphic...

your romantic, sexual, aesthetic and/or otherwise attraction to other women is beautiful and good and perfect and wonderful.

your attraction to women is worthy of respect and honor and celebration.

you're not gross or perverse or disgusting or predatory for being attracted to women. youre a lesbian / youre sapphic, so being attracted to women is completely natural!

lesbian and sapphic love and attraction is not inaccessible to you. it's literally yours by nature ! Sappho blessed you with the glorious gift of lesbian / sapphic attraction and you deserve to relish in it freely.

please, my darlings, don't be ashamed of being attracted to and desiring women. don't guilt yourself for seeing a woman and wanting to hold her, kiss her, have sex with her, share a life with her or be with her.

your level of medical and/or social transition, if you want those, are not barriers to you freely feeling or expressing your lesbian or sapphic attraction. you are worthy of respect for your attraction right now. and you are worthy of love right now too.

your attraction to her is natural. its good. its perfect. no matter how cruel this stupid world can be.

you are welcome here. and i love you.

beautiful women named perspective, color theory and anatomy are ruining my fucking life

I’m not canonically autistic but it’s strongly implied

I know things aren’t very Fergalicious right now dude but hang in there

Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) Flag

I’m begging people to realise that not all trans and nonbinary people are going to be good perfect little saints. There are nonbinary and trans people who can be rude, obnoxious or just bad in general. You don’t need to like them as people. But you do need to respect their identity.

You are not allowed to misgender someone out of anger, because when’s the last time that happened to cis people? So yes you are allowed to argue with someone and insult someone but use the correct pronouns to do so.

Ok so people look at me crazy when i tell them one of the best times to be outside is this fall-winter or winter-spring transition

Like its not summer so theres no horrid heat or bugs

Theres sometimes snow

Youre plesantly surprised when you lay in the sun and its kind of warm

PLEASE TELL ME someone gets this

(kinda a vent? Idk I'm in pain and no one believes me so this kinda a rant, TLDR at the bottom)

Some of the worst things about being disabled with like arthritis at a young age, is when you tell your parents or just any old person in general and they don't believe that you're in pain. I'll tell my mom my back hurts so bad that it's spreading to my legs, and she'll just roll her eyes and say sorry in a condescending voice. Her and my stepdad think just cause I'm young that equals no pain. My mom was there when I got my diagnosis! She knows that I got my arthritis from my dad and how bad it was when he was my age! But noooooo since I'm not up and working for 40+ years I can't have back pain. I mean gods, I've even thought about buying a cane/wheelchair with my own fuckin money! But just cause I'm young means I can't have pain.

TLDR: If there's a young person in your life with a disability please believe them when they say they're in pain. Age does NOT equal no pain.
