Vibing, Despite The Horrors

"you don't owe anyone anything" You are a tar pit. Speak for yourself. I personally owe the cafe employees my dishes put away and my friends a listening ear and small scared insects a cup and a gentle trip outside. Hyperindividualism is a rancid infection borne of capitalism and willfully misinterpreted therapyspeak and I will defy it by continuing to be kind regardless of whether or not it benefits me personally

Not sacrificing yourself for someone is not the same as not being nice and kind to people because they annoy you

Love the word "also". I have more things to say

Toph’s parents also tried to limit her bending because they saw her as dependent upon them, which is a great example of how society denies disabled people access to assistive technology.

A lot of people have a weird (ableist) assumption that if you show a disabled person being in any way competent, like Edward Elric, Solid Snake, Bentley, Darth Vader or Hiccup, it somehow negates the fact they’re actually disabled

Toph and Edward Elric really work for me because I never once felt like the writers forgot they were disabled. Edward is constantly repairing his prosthetics. Toph can’t read or use her aids on certain surfaces. And these aren’t things that show up once and then never again - they’re constantly referenced through the shows.

good disability representation will always have my heart and soul.

If you joke about something enough, you will start to believe it. Do not underestimate the power of your own words on yourself.

QUILT?!?!

“Public libraries are such important, lovely places!” Yes but do you GO there. Do you STUDY there. Do you meet friends and get coffee there. Do you borrow the FREE, ZERO SUBSCRIPTION, ZERO TRACKING books, audiobooks, ebooks, and films. Have you checked out their events and schemes. Do you sign up for the low cost courses in ASL or knitting or programming or writing your CV that they probably run. Do you know they probably have myriad of schemes to help low income families. Do you hire their low cost rooms if you need them. Have you joined their social groups. Do you use the FREE COMPUTERS. Do you even know what your library is trying to offer you. Listen, the library shouldn’t just exist for you as a nice idea. That’s why more libraries shut every year

If this post persuades even one person to get a free library account and use it, my time on this hellsite will not have been spent in vain
