Random thought but if someone advises you NOT to disclose a disability that will affect your work performance after you have ALREADY GOT THE JOB, do not listen to them! They are being ableist lmao
Also if you get hired, disclose a disability like ADHD, they can't just fire you for that. They are legally required to provide you with reasonable acommodations. If you feel you're let go because of a disability that you disclosed, and you have enough direct evidence of that, you can absolutely sue them about it.
But beyond that, yeah. There's nothing to be embarassed about. If you're trying to work with them they should be trying to work with you.
as someone with a disability that affects my work performance and a whole lot of miscellaneous legal knowledge: this is not actually legally true in the way you think it is
long story short, in most of the u.s., if you are going to disclose a disability you need to do it to HR, not your boss, with a request for a reasonable accommodation for your disability, at which point they'll probably ask for documentation. this is what protects you. if you are just showing up five minutes late every day and you just go "sorry i have adhd" at my boss that does not provide you any legal protections. going to HR once you're hired and going "just so you know i have adhd" and ending it there, without naming the specific accommodation(s) you need because of it, does not provide you legal protections. asking your HR department for reasonable accommodations due to your disability as per the ADA does. only that does.
also please note that the accommodation has to be reasonable, and what is defined as reasonable will vary from workplace to workplace. in this way, you can be fired for difficulties caused by your disability, even if you disclose it, as long as it's ruled that the accommodations you asked for weren't reasonable.
someone who tells you not to disclose a disability to your workplace probably isn't being ableist? they're probably trying to protect you because most (not all!) of the time it's not actually necessary and/or you're gonna do it in a way that won't actually do anything for you
Do we have a franz kafka diary entry for july 1st, i want to know what he thinks!!!
happy too tired July everyone
im expecting a lot of "pride month is over, now it's time for wrath month" posts. that's cool and all. but july is disability pride month.
pride month is when you're SUPPOSED to be angry. it's a celebration AND a riot. that was the best time to get angry. second best time is now. but it's not wrath month. let disabled people have this.
please get angry with us. please fight with us! we are both losing our rights, if we ever even had them to begin with. please don't talk over us, especially during our own pride month.
did you know over 10,000 people die a year while waiting to be told whether or not they can receive disability benefits?
did you know while being provided disability benefits, disabled people cannot have more than $2,000 total in their bank account? the average rent for an apartment in the united states, as of last month, is $1,995. per month.
while they want to kill queer people, they want to kill disabled people just as bad. please look out for your disabled friends and family. please look out for those of us who don't have friends and family. those of us who are out on the streets.
what are you wearing rn and is it representative of your style

when you talk about queer love, remember the queer love that isn’t romantic.
queer love can be two best friends who support each other through their transitions and go to pride together each glowing with admiration for the other
queer love can be siblings confiding in each other about the difficulties of growing up queer in a small town and still texting each other every day when they finally move away from home
queer love can be queerplatonic partners caring deeply for each other and redefining what a relationship can be
queer love can be a group of friends who bond in middle school, realize years later they’re all gay, and laugh and smile when they reminisce together about how far they’ve come
queer love can be a community coming together to give food, shelter, and unconditional support to a teenager who’s been rejected by his family and has nowhere to go
queer love can be two mothers supporting their daughter as she changes her name and buys the clothes that truly express her gender for the first time
whatever form it takes, queer love is life-changing and revolutionary.
[ID: A screenshot of tumblr tags that read: “#not to be dramatic but these kinds of love are ESSENTIAL to queerness as a community #there is no queerness without the inclusion of these kinds of support and camaraderie and love #queer tag #queerness is about community ;-; its about friendship and supporting people like you its not Just about ur partner. never has been #its about being kind to the girl on the bus trying a skirt for the first time. its about standing up for people’s pronouns #it’s about housing equality and demanding rights from employers and it’s about tightly woven friendships that become family #it’s a COMMUNITY. it’s a RESISTANCE #moss goes off in the tags #q.” End ID.]
