Elucidating Questions

How often do you walk or run?

No.

And this question is ableist

Because it excludes literally anyone who can’t walk or run

But no one thinks about that when crafting social media

Running was a funny joke I told in my youth when hyper extended ankles could be nursed for weeks afterwards

Walking is something I do when required but I shouldn’t

Running was fun sometimes except when it wasn’t

Mostly it wasn’t

Mobility is not a right it is a privilege and we all lose it at some point

But people act like they will never be the person in the wheelchair, with the walker, with the cane

People act like they’ll never be the blind man

But they spend their lives trespassing against disabled people

Don’t say “but not all” I’m sick of hearing lies

Ableism is constructed into our society

I thought I wasn’t

I didn’t know what I was fucking talking about until I got sick

Humans are stupid

Being assholes until it affects them and then they want understanding

Not all are assholes, all are ableist, but it’s just the majority that are assholes

Like this dumb bitch who’s been elbowing me incessantly

Who refused to get out of the disability seating for me and then proceeded to bruise my ribs for twenty minutes

Fuck everyone who sits in disabled seating and doesn’t move

And fuck this question for mocking my inability to be mobile

And fuck my body for doing this to me
