everything I have to say about the Jimothy discourse is probably only fit for fellow disabled people's ears, everyone else would just get pissy at me for what I have to say

things like "hey instead of putting effort into painting a mural about a raccoon w/ a spinal abnormality, why not put those hours into helping drive disabled neighbors to appointments?" is somehow me being a buzzkill only engaging w/ disability when it's fun for you is not allyship, it's extraction

adult humans have generally figured out there are things we need to do that aren't fun: dentist appointments, paying the electric bill, etc it's disappointing that that understanding has not yet extended to "survival is a shared burden" and greater support + inclusion of disabled people in society

(also the truth is that actually a lot of disabled people are still fun and funny as hell, it just looks different than what you're used to)

I forget who said this, but when people tell her (I think this was a her!) "you're so inspiring!" regarding her disability, she asks "oh thank you! what is it I inspire you to do?" 😂 and there's crickets, every time
