How about we don’t make disabled people feel guilty for things they can’t control
“It’s such a waste to get you food cause you’re not gonna finish it anyways.”
“You should be grateful I’m willing to mow the lawn since you don’t do it ever.”
“Don’t be pissed off at me, I was just pointing out how I constantly help you; be grateful, DAMMIT.”
Believe me, if it was up to me, I wouldn’t ask for a damn thing from you.

Even with treatment, I am still sick.
Even with accommodations I am still disabled.

I can’t believe I even have to say this but disabled people who wear make up and dress nice are still disabled.

According to the disabilities minister she states that there's no official register for disabilities, if that's the case why do you have a job?! Thanks for your support Toby Perkins xxxx

able-bodied people don’t seem to realise the nuances of disability, they look at it as such a black and white issue when it’s really not. like, i don’t need a wheelchair in the sense that i can’t physically use my legs and i don’t need a walking stick in the sense that i would fall over without one. but i do need a wheelchair in the sense that it could make the difference between my being bed-bound for a day and being bed-bound for a week and i do need a walking stick in the sense that using one today might enable me to do more tomorrow. disability and chronic illness aren’t black and white; using things out of necessity can mean a lot of different things for a lot of different people.
