It makes me so sad that so many #disabled people take on society's view of them as deficient, shameful, and deprived. We internalize and individualize systemic #ableism and then blame ourselves for our misery.

It just shows how badly a #DisabilityPrideMonth is needed...

I'm sad for my younger self because I grew up thinking the same way. And indeed even my current self: I'm not totally free of internalized ableism, probably never will be. But at least now I have a better chance of spotting it.

Somebody asked me how a blind person can make a screenshot, and even complimented me on mine here.

So here's a quick PSA:

"Blind" doesn't always mean "can't see anything at all." Many blind people can at least see the difference between light and dark. Some have okay visual acuity but very little visual field. Or vice versa. All of that can be described as blind.

Many conditions affect sight and everyone is different. You can't assume much about a person if all you know is that they're blind.

@bright_helpings you can't assume anything about a person even if you've lived with them. People change and circumstances arise.
