Ada Limón, “To Be Made Whole”, On Being With Krista Tippett

Saw this on Facebook and if I see one more post like this that weaponizes the Paralympics I am going to punch my own face :)

The Paralympic athletes are INCREDIBLE, there is absolutely no doubt about that.

AND- do you know how many disabled people grieve and cry over all of the things that are no longer possible because of their disability? It’s not a matter of positive thinking or making excuses. Leave disabled people alone and stop pretending anything is possible if you just have ✨the indomitable human spirit✨

And PLEASE for the love of gods, stop putting pressure on disabled people to be your inspiration porn. ESPECIALLY when the pressure is in order to make our suffering more palatable for you.

I promise if I could positive think my legs into working I would not be struggling so much :)

something i think a lot of able bodied people dont understand is that being chronically ill affects your emotions. constantly being exhausted and feeling bad is going to make you sad or depressed or angry or jealous. constantly being in pain is going to affect your mental health. never feeling "good" is obviously going to affect the way you act.
