I never know how to say this without sounding condescending but when it comes to social media you can simply choose not to be around people who make you unhappy.
Unfollowing is amazing. And if it becomes necessary because they still end up on your dash because other people rb their posts, you can also filter out content from specific users.
i really hate when we r like can we please stop the trend of disabled characters magically being Cured as this like amazing plot point or ending n people are like “SO YOU WANT THEM TO STAY SUFFERING?” no i just want some accurate representation without it feeling like my disability is being rubbed in my face because a cure doesn’t fucking exist irl. “it’s fantasy” it’s inspiration porn u fuckin weirdos.
why do u hate disabled people being disabled why do you feel like we all need curing?? you know we can be happy right? we can live full, joyous lives! disabled characters don’t need to me cured to be fulfilled!!!!!
some of u need to just admit that seeing disabled characters Be Disabled scares u. like u need to see us cured and able bodied miraculously because u don’t like the actual truth about being disabled because u know u can become One of Us at any moment.
stop trying to make us palatable for your own comfort u weirdos !!! i fucking hate The Disabled Character is cured and it’s a miracle!!!
it is literally just..inspiration porn idk how people can’t see that. it’s so fucking blatant
Now that I actually have a comfortable amount of money, I can say that it does indeed buy happiness. The guilt free occasional food delivery, being able to afford going out w friends, buying something that makes life easier, health appointments!, hiring a service. Y'ALL THEY LIED

They really did though. There’s so much.
Helping a friend in need without worrying about if they can pay you back before your next paycheck. Short-notice travel in emergencies. Replacing things when they break instead of either trying to tape them back together for 50% function or going without. Heck, being able to buy better-quality things that don’t break within the year. Taking a day off without destroying your budget (though if you’re making better money you probably have paid time off, don’t get me started). Getting out of slumlord rentals. Hobbies!! (Seems small until you don’t have time or money or energy just for playing and having fun.)
There’s a point at which additional money stops buying more happiness, which is where rich people are at, so I think it’s our responsibility as a society to relieve them of that oppressive extra wealth and redistribute it to people who would be made happy.
this is especially true for disabled people who have price tags placed between them and the ability for their bodies to literally function
As the great warrior-poet “Weird” Al Yankovic said: “If money can’t buy happiness, it must be rented”
