Hey, whatever happened to the #CripplePunk movement, anyway? Did it end? Is it hiding?

A photo taken of my motorized wheelchair from the perspective of sitting on the floor in my apartment. The elevating leg rests are out and the seat is in recline. There's a protest sign on the external side of the elevating leg rest That's not the focus of the photo. The focus is the base which is black and there's some new small red text on it with a yellow dot over it. It reads rude to stare. On the floor near the wheels are five possible stickers that I'm thinking of adding to the base next to the text
A second photo is a more close-up shot of the black base of my motorized wheelchair. However now it is decorated a little bit. There's some sticker letters that have spelled out rude to stare. The first two words are on the first line and stare is a bit centered on the second line. That said the text really is more flush to the left. To the right of the text is a rectangular sticker of an illustration of a person with Pink wavy hair and a red lip with one shoulder raised up a little bit on the left which you can see the red strap of their top which is slightly falling off their shoulder. They are staring right back
The other day I noticed that when I raise the elevating leg rests on Ms Ava Sequoia LaRue aka my motorized wheelchair, especially when in recline, there's this empty space on the base.
So I decided to create a bit of a reveal lol
(Possibly a WIP)

Close call last night. I did not give consent. Mang, fuck dying.
#disability #cripplepunk #gratitude
I am grateful to be alive. I am grateful to some kind strangers who have given me funds to help me continue to exist. I am grateful for the drugs I get, which cost thousands of dollars. I would never be able to do this on my own.

The journey towards better gut health has started with a few small steps, thanks to the Ko-Fi donations. I've been eating salads and some sushi, and I've purchased some kombucha and kefir. It has made a difference. I think I'm getting some gut flora. Thanks. Really.

Feels good to fight again. It's been a while. I took some body blows. Now, I am falling back into my old rhythms. Rediscovering me. And a lot of you have helped in ways you will never comprehend. Thank you, all of you. 😍
#disability #cripplepunk #sleepstudy
I am finally getting my sleep study, and it will be the first of its kind. It will involve Cosy Gaming and include relaxing ways to de-stress before trying to sleep, involving, well, Cosy Games. I'll be getting my brain scanned and light levels checked.

Last night, took a massive dose of liquid Valium and Ativan for some PTSD issues. This, along with more than a dozen of my nighttime narcs.
This can't keep going—yet I know it will. Insomniacs... how do you survive?
#disability #cripplepunk #rage
"I put the bastards of this world on notice that I do not have their best interests at heart. I will try and speak for my reader. That is my promise, and it will be a voice of ink and rage,"
I think about this quote a lot. It comes from the Rum Diaries.
#disability #cripplepunk #ensure
I want to complain about Ensure and nutritional puddings that taste like sun-spoiled oysters and cum. There are levels of survival that one must be rather hardcore to take on. Ensure tastes like chalkolate, or worse, and I hate it with a burning passion.

#disability #cripplepunk #insomnia
This old man gets no sleep; he spends late nights buggering sheep. It's rough when you don't sleep. They say the insomnia will kill me. Tonight, I'm fucking around with electrons, because no one can stop me. I am also very, very high. At least 90% drugs by volume.
i'm beating the shit out of your sunday scaries with my cane. do not be afraid.

Things have been... overwhelming. Thank you all. I'm still deep in the fight for a better life, but now I have some resources, some better meals, and some of the precious finances I need to make that change happen, should the chance present itself. Thank you!
vertical rectangle protest art piece. Background: various floral layers, some photographs some illustrations. red roses, pink flowers, a beautiful large sunflower, and then there's a hand handing a slightly decaying but beautiful bouquet of flowers that are white and a light peachy color with some green. upper left hand corner: a somewhat boxy, aged, artsy street vibe font, "the cunty cripples metaphorical motorcycle club." one word per line. very bottom: same font but smaller, 2 lines of text: "Fuck genocide. Fuck fascism. Fuck COVID. Fuck ice. Fuck ableism. And all false ideas of supremacy” lower middle to bottom area: semi-diagonal thick red rectangle, bottom left to upper right, with light pink text, almost a poem: “to all those who are tired. To those who have been tired. The anti-fascist, broken hearted, who see the news but lack access to the go-to tactics because ableism and the intersections of. the immunocompromised isolated & left behind. another world is possible but not if they leave oppressed people behind. we see you & you're welcome here." upper right hand corner: faded white thin font is “@ rebel Wheels NYC”
this was healing to make

ABOUT THE WORD:
cripple is a derogatory word that not all but some people in the disability community have chosen to reclaim.
that said, and if this needs to be said, if you are able-bodied, it's not your word to use.

Today has been a productive day. I'm exhausted. Still recovering from COVID and double MRSA pneumonia. I've done a lot of promotion and opened up old networks. I've got the machines in motion. I feel like I've been in a fight. My body aches. I'm tired. I'm done.

#cripplepunk #disability #minority
It's hard being a minority. I've been one my whole life. That's just kind of how it is. You either win the birth lottery or you don't. I lost. But being crippled, to be terminal, that makes you untouchable. Unwantable. Verboten.

I learnt a little something yesterday. I do that on occasion. If I do somehow manage to get a spot in an Assisted Living Facility (the dream lives, refuses to die!) I'm going to need furniture. How? No furniture = no future.
#cripplepunk #disability #rage
Well, that was fast. I got my rejection letter. Assisted living facilities are for the living. Well, shit! How come no one told me this before? This information would have been great to know before I went and made a fool of myself. Now I look stupid. Motherfucker!
