I see so much ableism laundered through narratives about people, especially disabled people, not trying hard enough, being "lazy" or doomerist about our capabilities, and failing to adopt a positive outlook toward the expectations heaped on us by abled-normative society.

exploring the range of one's ability is a good thing - and also, the default assumption should be that we're already trying as hard as we can until proven otherwise.

because we probably are.
