Be weird. Be colorful. Help random people.

So I just found the most useful photo album in existence for tumblr arguments

@georgeorwell @lordhellebore @francisperfectionbonnefoy @janiedean and everyone else have you guys seen this gem

Sometimes I just giggle to myself about this

See what happens when we do things for disabled people? We get shot like this that's just better for *everyone* AND accommodates for wheelchair users

My whole life adults told me a story about myself. That I was something smarter, better, greater than those hills and mountains. I thought if I believed them I could save my family. From poverty, from isolation, from enmeshment, from addiction, from a hundred or two years of “gettin’ by”, from so many things that I now know are symptoms of a systemic illness that those with power — be that power electoral or financial, god help you BOTH — revel in infecting us with. A thing being done to you, turning around to grab you hard on the face and tell you the cure is giving up who you are, shoving yourself into college applications, then mentorships, then cover letters, then fluorescent-lit, minimalist buildings with other flavorless, stock photo Gifted and Talented™. I never wanted it. I thought it was the cure for something.
