There’s a strange kind of ableism people don’t notice they’re doing…
The kind where they tell disabled artists to “stay within their limits,” or that using assistive tech is “lazy,” or that we should make work that looks disabled so it feels more authentic to them.
It’s the idea that struggling is noble and adapting is suspicious. If someone draws with their mouth or feet, people cheer.
If someone uses AI, screen readers, stabilizers, or digital cleanup tools, suddenly it’s “cheating.”
Disabled people don’t owe the world visible struggle.
We don’t have to make art that fits someone else’s idea of what our bodies should produce.
And we’re allowed to use every tool available to hit the quality we know we’re capable of.
The midnight gardeners are back at work — don’t tell the flowers.

People keep saying AI “makes art in minutes.”
That’s a myth.
I use AI with my own drawings and photography, and it actually takes me longer to finish a piece this way. I refine lighting, color, and composition over multiple runs, making sure the original work stays intact. Then I move everything into Procreate to draw and adjust by hand again.
The time saved on technical stuff gets spent on creative decisions. The tool doesn’t remove the process, it just shifts where the work happens.

We fairies don’t live in flowers. We pass through them.

Some people deny that AI can be assistive tech and have the audacity to decide for me — a blind person — what tools I should or shouldn’t use. That’s basically ableism disguised as moral purity.
I use AI alongside my art. I start with my own photos or drawings and ask AI to add small elements or motion, while keeping my work intact.
As a designer, I could do that in Photoshop, but it can be brutal on my eyes. AI helps me finish what I start without wrecking what’s left of my vision.
