self proclaimed schizoposter nervously typing ‘911’ into their phone and hovering their thumb above the 'call’ key as they hawkishly watch a disheveled guy at a bus stop make repetitive movements and ramble to himself
You know what lemme just come back to this post because I (physically disabled, joint pain, cane user) was on a full train last night with the biggest heaviest backpack you could imagine bcs I’ve just become homeless and I was on my way to a friends house. I tried to ask people for a seat and got flat out ignored. Nobody would even look at me. It got to a point where I was literally shaking crying sobbing dry heaving resorting to begging “I’m really sorry everyone but can someone please give me their seat I have joint problems I’m in a lot of pain”, speaking to people directly “excuse me but you’re in priority seating and I’m disabled and I really need to sit down” and the only person in the whole train who would even LOOK at me while I was wheezing and clutching my stomach and sweating about to pass out in some of the most rancid pain I’ve ever felt in my life. was an old disheveled guy with a tic who was mumbling to himself. and he quietly tried to console me and convinced me to just sit on someone’s suitcase. I hope all the unnatural hair coloured pierced 20 somethings on that train that night ESPECIALLY never know peace for the rest of their fucking lives
You seriously can’t call yourself a leftist or a progressive or whatever if you can’t treat other people like actual human beings. I’ve had disheveled people who a lot of ppl would assume are homeless, be quicker to offer me a place to sit on a train than 20 somethings with unnatural hair color and “Be Gay do Crime” pins and stickers do that (esp when I injured my ankle coming back from work nobody except a mumbling elderly lady offered me their seat). They’re also not the ones who threaten to call cops on me when I’m taking foodstuffs from grocery stores! You can post about anarchy and being progressive and unhinged all you want but the fact that you would treat people who are physically disabled and in poverty this way makes you just as an awful person as anybody else
saw a tik tok a few days ago that was like “gen z and young millennials want to fight for systemic change but don’t want to do the work on an individual level and like won’t even be nice to strangers because they ‘don’t owe anyone anything’” and it’s just so fucking true. we can’t demand systemic change if we can’t even be decent to the people we claim to fight for when we see them face to face.
speaking as a pierced physically and mentally disabled 20something year old with colored hair this is absolutely true. they “don’t owe anyone anything” including basic human decency i guess. i have a tic t disorder and the amount of people that age who just stare at me like i’m ducking crazy….the ones who eye me when i’m struggling with my forearm crutches in the store, the ones who look at me funny when i’m half crying in pain. “be gay do crime” the do crime part matters actually. it’s all “i would always look the other way if i saw someone taking food in the grocery store” unless that means you actually see someone do it. “radical compassion” until it means giving up your seat on public transport. y'all are so fake and these words mean nothing, it’s sad.
