Advocacy isn't complete if we only fight for the most "acceptable" among us.
It is easy for social media algorithms to elevate clean, highly aesthetic, and "palatable" presentations of disability and neurodivergence. But when our advocacy centers only on those who can mask well, work traditional jobs, or communicate in ways that make the dominant culture comfortable, we are leaving a huge portion of our community behind.
Lateral ableism happens when we distance ourselves from high support needs, intellectual disabilities, or "messy" symptoms to protect our own standing in an ableist world.
True collective liberation requires us to actively break down these internal hierarchies. We have to build solidarity that centers those with the highest support needs, not just those who look good on a grid.
How can we make our local and digital spaces more genuinely inclusive of all support needs?

For decades, media representation of disability has relied on a tired formula: framing disabled people as "heroes" simply for existing, working, or navigating public spaces. This narrative, coined "inspiration p**n" by Stella Young, isn't designed to empower disabled people. It’s designed to make non-disabled people feel better about their own lives.
True disabled joy has nothing to do with performing resilience for an audience.
Authentic joy is about autonomy. It’s about community connection, accessible spaces that don't require us to fight, and the freedom to exist without having to "overcome" our bodies to be seen as valuable. We don't need to be inspiring to be respected.
What does authentic, self-determined joy look like for you today?

The moment an everyday object is labeled as an "adaptive tool" or a "sensory
accommodation," the price tag skyrockets.

This isn't just inflation, it's a systemic "disability tax" that capitalizes on necessary human needs.

Disabled individuals already face massive structural barriers to employment and financial security. To then pay-wall the very tools required to navigate an inaccessible world is a form of systemic gatekeeping.

True accessibility means dismantling these economic barriers. It means prioritizing mutual aid, open-source designs, and community-led care over corporate profit margins.

How has the "disability tax" impacted your day-to-day life? Let’s talk about the cost of accessibility below.

We are conditioned to believe that our bodies are only as valuable as our output.

When we live in a system that measures human worth by productivity, rest begins to feel like a moral failure. But for disabled, chronically ill, and neurodivergent folks, this conditioning is a fast track to nervous system depletion.

We push through sensory overload, ignore physical pain, and over-extend our capacity just to avoid being a "burden" or to prove we are "worthy" of the space we take up. We try so hard to be the "palatable" kind of disabled; the one who never complains and always pushes through.

Rest isn’t a reward you have to earn after pushing yourself to the brink of a crash. It’s a basic human requirement.

What is one belief about productivity you are actively trying to unlearn right now?

The Disability Pride Flag isn't just about representation, it’s a map of our intersectionality.

Each stripe on the Disability Pride Flag represents a vital, distinct facet of a massive, diverse community.

True inclusion means moving beyond awareness and into active solidarity, community-led care, and continuous learning.

📌 Save this post to keep these meanings handy, and share it to help amplify disability history this month and every month.

We love shifting language to be more direct, concrete, and to actually say what we are trying to communicate!

Let's honor Dr. Jamie Marich for their birthday and shift from "treating" dissociation to:

🗣️ Navigating dissociation

🗣️ Working with dissociation

🗣️ Managing dissociation

Happy birthday, Dr. Jamie Marich!!!

Believing disabled people starts with believing them when they tell you who they are.

Lived experience > medical gatekeeping.
