my classmates went dead silent and after the sub’s laughter ended someone informed her that the wheelchair parked nearby belonged to me

Starts saying horrible thing about how im going to have to get over my ‘fear of public speaking’ and how she’s heard 8 year olds give better presentations (plus worse things but I don’t really member them). By then im in tears and on the brink of a panic attack, and then she starts telling me off for crying The rest of the class is horrified. Then this boy stands up. He never been my friend and we never really got along, but he’d never bullied me. He told her in a pissed off, cold voice that in freshmen year I got a concussion and that I never really recovered from it, so all that was medical related and I couldn’t help it. Then he starts telling her off and the rest of the class joins him.   The teacher is mortified and tries to cover her ass, but the whole class walked out and that boy took me by the shoulders and we all walked to the principles office and told him what had happened. Lets just say she isn’t teaching anymore. Also, turns out that boy had a sister like me, who couldn’t really speak. We’ve been best friends for 8 years and i’ll be his best woman at his wedding next year.  The moral is that Teachers, even subs, and adults shouldn’t scold kids before knowing the whole story, because shit like that can fuck up kids self-esteem for the rest of their life. 

My special-ed teacher was fucking OUTRAGED. She wanted me expelled for ridiculing her authority in front of the other students. The principal proclaimed my work to be “a masterpiece of satirical genius” and vetoed the special-ed teacher’s attempt to expel me.

and i remember so many people talking about how overweight she was and making fat jokes about her- and none of that would have been remotely okay if she actually was fat- that isn’t okay no matter what. the reason fatphobia is bad isn’t because she isn’t fat; it’s bad because fatphobia is always awful, and especially targets actually fat women. but it’s moreso just insane to me that people’s baseline for what a fat person looks like is just so exceptionally warped. like it sincerely floors me

tl;dr fatphobia is awful and showbusiness thrives on making people have body image issues.

I remember Kelly Clarkson was like, *the* chubby girl and I’m shocked now by how much she wasn’t. It’s astounding how, media really pushed these “average” bodies as fat. Sad how much it’s barely changed.
