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.

i’ve heard a lot of people say “don’t reach out to your friends first and see how many people will remain in your life. those are your true friends” and i get it. it sucks and it’s tiring constantly being the one to message first, to initiate hang outs but don’t take this so literally. some friendships require initiation. i have lost touch with so many people who genuinely cared about me and wanted me in their life because i stopped reaching out. it’s a hard pill to swallow but honestly some people just suck at it and it doesn’t mean they don’t love and value you. i’ve reconnected with some people over the past few months and it’s crazy how genuinely happy they are to see me and how engaged they are in the conversation. i just think sometimes we’re too harsh on each other & too quick to emphasize other peoples flaws and remove them from our lives but then we’ll all be alone and what’s the point of life then!!!!

eye-opening tumblr post for me included the words “people are meant to be burdens” as in humans rely on and support one another and it’s not a bother it’s our purpose; to love and be loved in return. so if you ever think you’re being annoying just remember we were made to love and it’s going to be okay

Please take a comforting, realistic affirmation and pass it on :]

This too shall pass.

Know that you can’t save everyone. Remember that you can try.

It has been okay before. Someday, it will be okay again.

You are special in that you are the only you, not the only one feeling this.

You don’t have to love yourself now. First, you have to not hate yourself.

You are doing what you can. It is enough.

just saw a clip where f1nn5ter was saying how at this point, he can’t be cis, but at the same time, he doesn’t feel like he’s trans—he’s just neither. and someone in chat was like “you can’t be neither cis nor trans that’s not how it works” i love finn but why is his chat so fucking bad 😭 stop recreating binaries for the love of god, identity does not have to fall into these neat little boxes for you to police

essentially

#this is the exact reason we didn’t have a hard distinction between crossdressers and trans until recently#we have so many overlapping experiences and benefit so much from each other’s support!#there’s graphics from 2010 that are still putting crossdressing under the trans* umbrella!!#but somewhere along the way it stopped being about community and started being about individual identity#what was about giving people freedom to have their own ambiguity and expression got hard lines drawn around it#its very strange to think that in 2010 he would have been understood to have belonged to the queer community for his gender expression alone#but in 2023 he identifies as the wrong thing so he’s left in the lurch like so many of us#who can’t fit the popular and very narrow current definitions that so so very recent#i understand the point about binaries#but trans* was supposed to be about infinities#defying definition and refusing the boxes other people tried to put us in#f1nn5ter isn’t hard to accept when you accept that trans* includes non-normative gender expression as well as non-normative gender identity#when that expression is baked into the identity of the individual expressing it#when we narrowed the definition of transgender to simplify it for a wide cis audience we lost a lot of our siblings in the process#he doesn’t have to identify by it#but we don’t have to keep using a definition that excludes him (via @yoshiyakiryu)
