OF PENCILS AND PINK PENS

This whole obsession with wheelchair users struggling on foot down the aisle at their wedding or across the stage for graduation is 100% powered by ableism.

“The heartwarming story of how one woman worked for 8 months straight so she could escape the horror that is being in wheelchair for a few short minutes to struggle slowly and painfully down the aisle on her special day.”

“the horror that is being in a wheelchair” bitch it’s hella better than struggling slowly & painfully down the aisle ffs

These types of stories teach people, both abled and disabled, that using mobility aids, especially wheelchairs, is inferior.

Who needs a bouquet when you can be a bouquet?

This post floated by a few months ago, and I remember something to effect of there’s a difference between recovery and refusal. That is, like, I have a friend that suffered an incomplete spinal cord injury. He can walk again now, and I don’t think I’ve seen him use his chair in a few years. When he walked at his graduation, it was to show off his recovery. That he wasn’t quite ready to go through a full day upright, but he could walk across a stage, unassisted, and soon he would be able to do that every day. There’s also a difference in someone like me choosing to not use a mobility aid. My mobility is intensely fluid, especially seasonally. So, I would plan a summer wedding. And while I love my cane it can also be the biggest pain in my ass, so I’d want to just go unassisted. But that’s normal for me, at least right now. I can walk without an aid during about half of the year. It’s reasonable to assume I can make it through one day without it. All of that is different than someone that is fully and permanently paralyzed, that will never walk again, dragging themselves along because they feel that’s somehow better. Overall though, my biggest takeaway is fuck the media. Because disabled people should be able to make whatever decision they want without the media turning it into this grand inspirational story.

I worked at a grocery store. We did this same shit with literal tons of food and it radicalized me more than any book ever could.

Legitimately I would start giving away pastries to anyone who tried to buy one after 8pm because I felt viscerally disgusted by the idea of selling someone a muffin I was supposed to throw away in an hour.

If you ever think you have a bad habit of writing yourself into a corner, just remember: after retconning the Minions from being mad science creations from Gru’s lab to being immortal beings from the dawn of time who are driven to obey the world’s most evil monsters, the writers of the Despicable Me franchise were forced to come up with a reason why the Minions wouldn’t have served Hitler. Like, there’s an explicit plot point explaining this.

please tell me how they explain this

They spent 150 years in exile in the Arctic as self-imposed penance for accidentally shooting Napoleon with a cannon and consequently missed both World Wars.

She won that season too!  She’s so cool and upbeat

Despite being cool.and upbeat (and she is) she also suffers from anxiety and recently started speaking about it in social media. Instagram posta detailing her inability to even go downstairs and how support her fam are etc. She also recently did a bbc documentary about anxiety disorders.

Nadiya is also a perfect example of why diversity in media is important. A government report on community cohesion said she’s done “more for British-Muslim relations than 10 years of government policy”, because her presence on TV has helped to humanize the image of the hijab-wearing Muslim woman in the eyes of the public. She’s not even really a political activist or anything - she’s just a nice, honest, down-to-earth person. Sometimes that’s all it really takes to convince people.

YALL ITS GOOD

Y’all I’ve made SO MANY OF THESE RECIPES from Time to Eat. They are fucking phenomenal!!

Time to Eat is SO GOOD and if she’s in somebody’s home to teach them a recipe and there’s a baby she just holds or plays with the baby so the parent can practice doing the recipe as she guides them but also you can tell she just really wants to cuddle and play with these sweet little kids! Her energy is just so thoroughly genuinely warm!

Yeah please stay off omegle. I was one of the kids that thought oh haha I’m going to mess with people on there. Nah don’t. Just don’t that place is unsafe and it’s not somewhere anyone should really be.

[ID: a tiktok by @/sietesays. A black woman is filming herself. In the beginning only her head and shoulders are visible. She’s using a sparkly filter that adds stars to her cheeks and hair. She’s saying “gen z I have a bone to pick with y'all. listen I was born 1998 so I’m on the older, grown as hell, end of gen z, so I’m finna talk to you like a big sister.” The camera is now on the ground and she is walking over to it kneeling in from of it and hitting it repeatedly. “Quit going on omegle.com. stop it!” The camera is now only filming her face again. “does someone wanna tell me how y'all are the exact same one who had Meghan is missing trending two weeks ago and now y'all are doing the same dumb shit that got Meghan missing! someone make it make sense because - listen to me, Omegle is a dangerous website. I used to go on Omegle all the time - me and my friends when we were teenagers used to do the same thing. we thought we were cute, we thought it was funny as hell. when really we were just getting groomed on the internet by adult creeps. I’m sorry babies but I need you guys to think critically about this. The moment you log into omegle.com they track your location. they know exactly where you are. human trafficking is very real. there is a real market. There are bad people on the internet. And when weird shit like omegle suddenly starts trending out of nowhere. Think about the deeper reason of why that might be happening.” /End ID]

Children and teens be aware: you may think you’re the ones messing with people on there, but you’re not. You are the ones being messed with and don’t even realize it because you’re thinking you’re the “smart one” in the room.
