I'm a neurodivergent/disabled 41 yr old cat lady, with an Etsy shop. I make keychains, bracelets, mystery bags, and pins. I ship in Canada only and I don't do custom pieces, it's too much pressure. RIP Roxis. https://deekerskeepers.etsy.com

The long pause when someone asks "how are you?" Is me trying to figure out if I tell the truth or just say "fine."

If the people who represent you profit off your suffering, they won't be fighting for you

I might not be able to say what I think should happen to fascists on social media but you can't stop me from thinking it.

How am I supposed to come out of survival mode when I'm constantly stressed about being evicted, can't afford food, have to worry about my social worker updating my file so I don't get punished for their mistakes? I can't remember the last time I felt safe and secure.

When you say only the “genuinely disabled” should receive support, you’re aiding fascism.

When you say people are scamming the system, you’re aiding fascism.

Many disabilities are invisible and it’s hard to get support.

People aren’t scamming. That’s “useless eater” rhetoric designed to divide.

Disabled people are more likely to be victims of financial abuse.

And the Universal Credit system makes that even more likely by not allowing them to have money if they live with a partner who earns/has some savings.

It's a horrifically abusive system.
Cozy inside day today. The weather is supposed to be rainy for the next few days so no walkies for Sora. Roxis also hated going out in the rain, they're convinced they'll melt.

The fact that we have to depend on the abled to stand up and defend us is why we're doomed.

“If that disabled person can do this job, then you can work too”

By that logic…. Where’s your Olympic medal?
Why aren’t you a brain surgeon?

Oh… yeah… because not everyone can do everything… even if you’re not disabled.
Six years ago today I adopted my sweet Sora. From a skinny boy with cut whiskers, fleas, and parasites, to a healthy, soft and handsome sweet gentleman with long beautiful whiskers. I'm so glad the universe sent you to me!🥰

You shouldn't only care about the rights of disabled people because it may be you one day.

You should care because it's the right thing to do, for other humans who deserve life, love, and support.

A perfect example of ableism right here….

So ignorant it’s unreal.
I worked until I couldn't work anymore. For 20 years I went to work and endured workplace abuse and then went home and endured domestic abuse. The last place I worked I was let go because I was still trying to work while having a mental breakdown. I have 40 years of abuse trauma to deal with.
Except most peoples disabilities do define them😒. Everything I do I have to think "Will I be able to cope? What if I have a melt down or get overwhelmed? What if I have pain flare up?"
I was trying not to cry in therapy about missing Roxis and Sora got down from his perch and went to sleep in Roxis's bed. He hasn't done this is many weeks. I love how he nestles in to Roxis's things. We are all we have left.

We are nothing but cogs to the ruling class. That's why they want to do eugenics because cogs that don't slave away for them are better off dead in their eyes. They also enjoy our suffering and that's why they don't just kill us quick.
So true. People will say "just ask for help" and then you do and they make you feel like shit for it and talk shit about you behind your back.
