Disabled folks get treated like shit in every aspect of life & have to deal with that constantly. I wish more people understood that when disabled folks ask for the bare minimum in accessibility instead of responding with dismissiveness and apathy when asked for small accessibility changes.

For a rare.bit of good news. The sub-minimum wage for.disabled people ended 6/30/23 in Oregon thanks in large part to one senator who repeatedly introduced a bill that finally passed in 2019.

Would that they could spend a day in your shoes. Life has a way of kicking you in the ass, and able-bodied people should not be so smug.

My son is hearing impaired. Have fought for him all his life and continue to do so. Society is so judgemental about those whose abilities are affected. But the battle and rage goes on

It is also hard for mentally disabled(like autism). Nobody sees that the person needs help.

i once asked an "inclusive" ttrpg community if they knew if a certain game had large print character sheets, and a good 90% of them acted like i was the king of faery coming to steal their firstborn. and that's just the less intense ableism ive seen

Something like changing your personal language use or being more accessible with your social media is such a small ask from disabled folks, and yet people think it’s being overly sensitive or asking too much. Like ok then, change every systemically ableist aspect of society overnight then.

This will probably sound awful- but my understanding was changed when for 7 short weeks this year my leg was in plaster and I was in a wheelchair ( and my collarbone was broken so I was relatively helpless). I finally understood what it was like to be disabled. My heart goes out to disabled folk.

One of the major things I wish I could overhaul is the way we put the burden on disabled people (most of the time) to ask/go through administrative hoops/prove up their need for something. The way we do it just doesn’t work.

I noticed the same thing especially with alt text. It feels like touching the burner to check if it's hot when you have to ask someone to add alt text.
