we need to be taught disability history in school because it is 2019, i am 20 years old, and i am only now learning that the National Association of the Deaf had to take Netflix to court in 2012 in order for closed captioning to be required on streaming sites (source). any amount of accessibility in our lives has been fought for, and those stories need to be told.

Its come full circle

2001 really was the greatest year for movies……… donnie darko? amélie? the others? moulin rouge. mulholland DRIVE? monsters inc AND shrek??? legally blonde…..the princess diaries…SPY KIDS…….. the list goes on and on. 2001 had it all

i love how this list includes spy kids along with edgy prestige movies like donnie darko and shrek

bold of you to imply spy kids wasnt an edgy prestige movie

trump’s 1 year anniversary of being president is starting off with the government shutting down that’s the perfect representation of how american politics has been going for the past year

This is actually the third government shut-down this year. The third. There was the first in January, an additional one in February, and now we’re rounding out the year with a third shut-down. There was only one during the entire eight years Obama was President. There have only been nine total shut-downs in the entire history of America. Trump is responsible for a third of all government shut-downs and this has all happened in one year and it is only his second year in office. Is that alarming? That should be really fucking alarming.

And none of you people have any fucking concept of what it means for those of us IN a government service. It means I don’t get paid. I work (because I’m excepted) but I don’t get paid until they pass an appropriations bill. So I’ll work and work with the promise of future pay but no idea WHEN that will happen. And then there’s the furloughed employees who will not get paid at all unless congress passes another bill to packpay them. How long will this last? No one knows. But it fucking sucks. Because while we aren’t getting paid, we DO still have bills to pay and kids to put through school and food to put on the table and mortgages to pay. And not all of us have thousands and thousands in savings to get us through months of a shutdown. And then the worst part comes because WHEN we do eventually get paid? It comes as one lump sum which means that IRS gets a bigger cut of my fucking paycheck. THAT is what it means. So the American public feels NONE of it because so much of the government is STILL working. If government services simply STOPPED ENTIRELY then I BET all y’all would be calling your congressman. Instead, no one gives a shit.

It’s not that I necessarily have a problem with ALL men, the problem I have is with the idea of male entitlement that exists AT ALL on a wide scale level in our society. That SO many men unknowingly demonstrate. You aren’t entitled to another person’s body. Period. For example one of the underclassmen today was catcalling the girls soccer team of the neighboring school, after I called him out I realized my anger bubbling up inside wasn’t directed at him but at the shear fact that he was never taught that it isn’t okay to do that in the first place.
