So can non-disabled people stop doing that thing where they act like it’s morally righteous to force yourself to work while you’re sick and assume taking sick days automatically equates to laziness. Any time now. That’d be great

The leader of the scout group I help out at approached me out of hours while I was walking to work to tell me that people have been talking behind my back because I missed more sessions than I attended this term (on account of having Covid twice) and was like “We all show up when we’re sick because we take responsibility” and I felt really shitty and guilty and cried the whole workday then I got home and told my mum and she was like “So they want you to throw up on the kids? That’s dodgy. They don’t even pay you. Stop going” and a wave of serenity hit me like a bus

diet culture people make me feel like i’m going crazy. you want me to take an experimental pill that destroys my appetite?? you want me to remove part of my stomach??? you want me to stop eating bread and rice, two of the staple foods most inherent to humanity????? why exactly? because my stomach is big? because you don’t like the way i look, and you think it’s reasonable to tell me to carve pieces off of myself and try random drugs and ruin my own life so i can look more visually pleasing to you? and you somehow don’t see how absurdly cruel and selfish that is to ask of somebody???? while pretending you care about their HEALTH????????????????? FUCK YOU!!!!

For context, this is Jewish actor Miriam Margolyes. A self-identified dyke,she was professor sprout in the harry potter movies but she's been extremely prolific over five decades. She's pro trans and pro Palestinian.

The discussion in the comments was a breath of fresh air! I really enjoyed it

Women are comfortable "being weak and needing a man?" They like "being bad a driving?" Is this post from 1973?

You remember seeing any "I'm just a girl" type stuff? Girl math, girl dinner, I can't help it I'm just a girlie I need my treats and trinkets, I need a boyfriend to open jars and kill spiders for me, etc. I have a coworker who refuses to learn how to drive bc she figures her husband will always be available to drive her around. This isn't from 1973, it's happening now.

if you put the new harry potter show on my dash in any way it's gonna be an automatic unfollow from me, guys. like. it's 2026. come the fuck on

already seen similar posts to this but like hey! great job bullying tumblr staff relentlessly bc they made a rlly bad ui change. could you keep doing that until they stop banning trans women and enabling their stalkers to have voices here? just maybe? for me?

UPDATE: we are making things even worse soon!

how is OP supposed to see the engagement on their edits??? art?? any post that sparks a conversation?

wtffff

This!

i straight up do not respect your media opinions if you can't let harry potter go

Truely the bar is on the ground. No one is asking you to rewrite history and pretend you never liked it. Just stop giving that hateful woman money.
