An Accessible Castle The Art Fund shortlist dropped this week and the phrase sat there in the middle of the sentence like a piece of furniture someone had moved but not explained. "An accessible castle in Norwich." Five w

A spiral path cut through the Norman mound at Norwich Castle. The keep was built to prevent easy entry. The architects reversed nine hundred years of that intent.

This administration is attacking organizations they do not agree with. This nothing but a political attack. Next they'll come after the ACLU. Every single minority in the US should be upset by this. #News #blacksky #disabilitysky #blindsky

( ID: Tumblr user shkspr: idk what other disabled person needs to hear this but if you need someone to do something for you that would be very difficult for you to do but very easy for them to do, that is a small favor. you dont have to feel gratitude and guilt at scale based on how hard it would be for you to do it disabledly Tumblr user shkspr: also a more general point: you dont have to feel guilty when people do things for you. if someone is offering, or if you ask and they say yes, that means they want to do it. if for some reason they are pretending to be okay with it, that is not your fault, it is theirs. this goes for things you are incapable of doing, things that would be difficult for you to do, and even things that you could do without difficulty. even if youre not disabled. if someone cares about you they should be willing to help you out in the ways that they are able to. )

And for gods sake don’t put yourself down when asking. You can state your needs without also calling yourself “useless garbage.”

The Witness You Didn't Ask A woman in Australia lost her job in 2024 for reporting that her disabled clients were being harmed. The story frames her as a hero. It frames the people she reported on behalf of as "highly vulnerabl

Highly vulnerable." That's the phrase. Not witnesses. Not people who already knew. The law protects the person who reported it — not the people who lived it. That gap isn't an oversight. It's the architecture.

Ableism isn't real there is a recent trend of non-disabled people trying to tell disabled people that ableism is not real or not a real word. Firstly, ableism is absolutely real, both as a word and an occurrence. Secondly, such a suggestion is gaslighting of a marginalized group based on the fact that they don't like that a word likely describing their own beliefs and behaviors exist in the first place
