This is from the POV of a Deaf person in the UK, but is applicable to disabled people in some other countries as well.

Whether you're in university or in the workforce, the learned helplessness of abled people preserved by systemic ableism shunts the burdens inherent in a rationing & policing system of "accommodations" onto the disabled person. And they you get judged for "not producing as much", as well.

Insight: why do deaf employees have the added job of arranging their own access support? (BSL)

I have a lot I need, and nearly all of my accompanying staples ie, seasonings can goods my potatoes and onions which are a semi required filler are depleted, I never seem to be able to actually get caught up on keeping my supplies at a sustainable level;

I have a cart full of #food to eat but lack the $350 to buy it, I have a cart full of personal care, hygiene, and household supplies but lack the $200 to buy it, I have a cart full of clothing that I need but lack the $400 to buy it, not to mention the rest of what I need to deal with, it is sad really, that in one of the wealthiest times in human history and in one of the wealthiest nations on earth, that anyone would be struggling with #poverty and #disability, and do so with so very little support at all, it really is sad that I have to beg for help that I most certainly never actually receive in any capacity to actually resolve the gapping growing hole of needs;

This Disabled Man Existing In Poverty, Is $2198 Away From Being Able To Afford To Take Care Of Myself And The Things I Still Need To Take Care Of This Month. Your support today could mean the difference between nourishment and starvation and some kind of stability.

This is not a request for luxury. This is a cry for dignity.

#Introduction

I’m Chris, a writer and independent researcher from Minnesota. I’m a Prince obsessive, French cinema/literature lover, sci-fi person, and Lacanian wanderer.

I live with spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy and use a wheelchair. I write about music, memory, disability, embodiment, film, literature, and the strange ways art helps us survive ourselves.

Glad to be back on Mastodon.
