While we're all being rightly angry about the schools crumbling concrete crisis, please spare a moment to also be angry that the government is promising to bail out bankrupt councils - providing they cut support for children with #SEN and #disabilities.

"She is one of many blind people who say they have encountered more difficulty taking service animals onto flights since new rules from the Department of Transportation took effect in January 2021. The regulations were an effort to crack down on a rise in passengers passing off untrained pets as service or emotional support animals. Some travelers tried to take peacocks, pigs, ducks and even miniature horses onboard aircraft."

The thing i find the most upsetting:
If more people got #mentalhealth help, and had the basics (food, shelter and medical)

We wouldnt have to have huge #prisons filled with people with #mental #disabilities

Prevention.

Get people the help they fucking need. The system is fucking over #autistic ; #bipolar ; #schizophrenia ; #personalitydisorders and LOTS of other treatable #disabled people

So unhelpful and counterproductive for the #society people actually want to create

If commissioning attacks on trans people wasn’t enough for you to delete twitter / X

If supporting anti-democracy propaganda and anti-vaccine rhetoric wasn’t enough

If LITERAL payments to Nazis wasn’t enough

And if Elon selling your information to nefarious nation state intelligence organizations isn’t enough?

I don’t even know what to say to you

Except that I have 0 respect for you.

Recognizing isn't easy.

This post will be several posts due to character length.

Invisible disabilities all around, and among us. Asking others to out themselves, and their hidden disability is fraught with danger.

First, how other people treat them.

Second, their own internalized ableism.

Third, they may not not even know they have a disability.

Or a medical condition.

How can we expect the average, nondisabled, person to understand #Ambulatory #Wheelchair users?

And those are somewhat visible disabilities, in that public can recognize different needs, even if they don't prepare for them.

I would like to hope #Disabled people would be better at recognizing #Invisible #disabilities

Again, often if a person doesn't have disability, they don't know it exists.

They may even laugh at an invisible disability.
