What frustrates me about disability advocacy is that...of all the people I've seen talk about it, 99% of them - even ones who are disabled themselves - have eventually proven that their support has limits. Really stupid and arbitrary ones, at that.
You support disabled people...but if you see an adult with a DIAPER BULGE in their pants in public it's ON SIGHT, get your kink out of my face! Actually, even if it's not a kink, that's still gross and, like, it's not like the diaper exists to CONTAIN waste, you're a biohazard! Just stay home!
You support disabled people...but, ugh, you're so sick of masks, they feel so icky, the CDC isn't advising them anymore so really how bad can it be, if you don't want to be permanently disabled even worse than you already are then why don't you just stay home forever?
You support disabled people...but if you see anyone using a non-conventional straw that someone's billed as "anti-aging" on TikTok you proudly declare that you'll smack them, because what do you mean it might be a motor control or sensory thing?
You support disabled people...but no one is REALLY so disabled that they can't manage their lights conventionally, clean their homes by themselves, or hold a pen for extended periods of time or at all; that's just something people make up as an excuse for Bad Tech and exploitative luxury services.
You support disabled people...but, god, control your by-definition-uncontrollable tics, they're SOOOO annoying and rude!
You support disabled people...but when someone stops masking or runs out of spoons and starts speaking in a choppy, hard-to-understand way, it's a joke.
You support disabled people...but AAC is, like, sooooo annoying and hard to understand, learn to talk like a normal person instead of pointing like a baby or whatever, geez.
You support disabled people...but you hate image descriptions and video transcriptions because they're, like, sooooo ugly and transcriptions SPOIL things. (Not to be confused with "frequently not having the spoons to translate images and videos into text, which is a skill; one which everyone should try to develop, but a skill nonetheless" - I get that, it happens to me, but if you take issue with OTHER people adding them to your posts for Aesthetic Reasons, you're...kind of a dick! I'm not sorry for saying it!)
You support disabled people...but you think teehee funny joke annotations are a much more valuable use of caption tracks than, you know, actual captions are.
You support disabled people...but you still concern-troll people with armchair diagnoses of heavily stigmatized disorders for harmless weirdness, or try to paint them as icons of some kind of horrible social ill.
You support disabled people...but you're still convinced that every asshole is mentally ill, probably A Narcissist, and what do you mean that's a loaded thing to call someone when a heavily stigmatized disorder is rudely misnamed as such too, isn't it easier to, like, change the name of the disorder throughout the whole system than it is to just stop using that word as your go-to Bad Person Pathologizing Word, which you definitely need? (Or worse, you see no problem with this clash because you're convinced it IS Bad Person Disorder...)
You support disabled people...but you see someone mumbling to themself on the bus and you get as far away from them as possible because it's "scary".
You support disabled people...but you constantly try to pull "gotcha"s about people telling you not to touch people's assistive devices.
You support disabled people...but someone being okay with their delusional disorder and talking about that is BAD and PROMOTING SELF-HARM.
You support disabled people...but your body positivity still focuses exclusively on "people can be healthy and fat at the same time!" as if people who ARE fat because of health issues and/or have health issues BECAUSE of their weight don't exist or deserve support.
You support disabled people...but you declare that advocates who want us all to have more access to things that improve your quality of life are the REAL ableists for acknowledging that those things that you currently can't do tend to improve quality of life.
You support disabled people...but your advocacy for yourself involves distancing yourself from people with more support needs than you.
You support disabled people...but you treat addiction of any kind, or use of anything with known addictive tendencies, as a moral failing.
You support disabled people...until the accommodations they need clash with your own, then it's not just a benign incompatibility that sucks just as much for them as it does for you; no, you are an innocent victim and they are a horrible ableist.
You support disabled people...until it's too inconvenient. Too weird. Too scary. Once that line is crossed, it's not a disability issue anymore, they're, conveniently, just a Bad Person.
It's fucking exhausting and I'm sick to death of it.

Happy Weatherversary to Mark Woodley, the sports journalist who was made to go stand outside in a massive cold snap on this day in 2022 and decided to make it everyone's problem. He is my favorite and I do in fact own a shirt that reads "The outdoors, currently, is not heated."

Damn, hit song "From Now On We Are Enemies" by Fall Out Boy was right. I really do only want what I can't have.

I understand that people who subscribe to Discord Nitro get more, cooler features than us peasants. That's what it's for.
But why invonvenience regular, non-subscriber users? I'm talking putting the unusable Super Reaction button where the Reaction button used to be and prompting a Nitro sub window every fucking time I mistakenly press it because it's deliberately placed there and then I get a fucking useless "buy Nitro" popup every time I just want to use this wretched app. Why is it there if I can't use it? It's not like I forgot to subscribe. I deliberately did not and this will not convince me (the opposite, actually). Whoever thought that was a good idea, I hope you get sand in your eye today.

Hot Take that's gonna get me sent to the gallows:
Of the male companions, Gale is actually the best example of a "messy, imperfect victim".
Astarion is a better example of "thinking they're above perpetuating the cycle of abuse".

I hate how period cramps can feel like getting stabbed in the stomach, but you don’t even get a cool knife or sword sticking out of you that you can keep. Life is so unfair.

It's honestly bonkers to me how much tristamp changes Thematically about the story, like every driving factor for the characters/overall story is so completely different in a way that I'm like...unsure if I've ever seen an adaptation Do. I know ppl like to say like, oh it's actually a pretty faithful adaptation bc it references xyz little manga thing, and. Nah man. The same Things can happen and characters can have more or less the same Deal and Traits but if their motivations are different it's still going to be a completely different story.
Like, okay, take the GHGs- in trimax, they're a ragtag group working with Knives (mostly, rip midvalley lol) by choice all with their own reasons, and they're all outcasts of some kind as well. This meshes with the overall theme of this world being a harsh one that is unforgiving to outcasts, and how violence is the easiest way to take that power back (also backed up by Vash's pacifism leaving him riddled with scars). Meanwhile in tristamp the GHGs are all human experiments made by Knives and forced to go after Vash. In this story, he is someone who takes what was done to him and does it to others, and uses this to get what he wants- he does it to the humans he employs and he does it to the dependent plants at the end of the season. Meanwhile, trimax Knives makes alliances (however uneven and uneasy) with both humans (GHGs) and plants (he doesnt force the plants to fuse with him, he asks for their help) . These are!! COMPLETELY DIFFERENT CHARACTERS
Vash is cold as a child (and this is what keeps him from ending up like Knives) and is as powerful if not more powerful than Knives in trimax, whereas in Tristamp he's an underdog immediately who doesn't live up to the expectations of his species and is drawn to humanity through that. Livios story in the manga is about being failed so repeatedly that a Murder Cult is his best option, whereas in tristamp it's about trying to protect and preserve the family he's found for himself. Elendira goes from being a trusted and powerful ally of Knives who is again, like all of the GHGs, a notable outcast (her transness is commented on many times much to her dismay) to ....a manifestation of Knives obsession with his trauma as a recreation of Tesla. They all have the same names and same concepts going into them but are fundentally so deeply different because of what their stories are About
And I'm not trying to say "tristamp is BAD because it's DIFFERENT". I'm sure u can infer i have a Preference here but what I'm trying to say is, these are apples and oranges that are both called oranges, and if you bite into both of them expecting them both to be oranges you will be disappointed (haha orange joke, haha apple jo-) I've seen a lot of people try to read/interpet Trimax through the lens of Tristamp and come out confused or just....wrong??? About a lot of things, or decide the issues they're facing w it are because Nightow is, idk, a bad author or something (stop this please i beg). If you really want to analyze these stories you truly cannot do it from within the framework of the other

I fucking hate doctors. Btw. If you're a medical professional and you don't listen to or think you know better than your disabled patients, go fuck yourself with a cactus.
I'm fucking tired of being ignored and dismissed and told to "just exercise more" or that "it'll go away with PT."
Never once have I been offered pain meds. Never once has anyone cared. I'm tired of doctors- pain management doctors- not giving a shit and refusing to do their fucking jobs.
Abled people can reblog but don't add anything, I don't care about what you have to say if you're not physically disabled.

Something I find disturbingly fascinating is how, right, a certain subset of Male Gamers(TM) famously loses their shit over female player and playable characters, like this is a huge factor of what GamerGate was about, how DARE we even entertain the POSSIBILITY that women might enjoy games and being super sexist about our Smurfettes might be shitty in general-
But in gacha games specifically, their attitude does a complete 180 and they lose their shit the moment the male:female characters ratio is greater than 1:5 or sometimes even less.
Like, they want female characters as collectible objects, for THAT they'll suspend their disbelief that a woman could be competent, but anywhere else they want nothing to do with it.
It's just very...unsettling, to observe.

Wait thats a legitimate question
if youre normal about dog training and not into shock collars as a sex thing but know someone who would buy one for either reason, select that option, I want this as biased and unreliable as possible bc that will be funny. Commit to the bit with me.
this is to get an extremely biased data point about whether more shock collars are being bought for dog behavioral issues, or for people with specific fetishes.

wtf is the marauders fandom istg
u guys love your little death eater characters sm and then turn around and say snape sucks like. okay. you just gave regulus sev’s entire backstory wdym.
ppl who say they love barty and evan r the same ppl who comment ‘stan james potter’ on snape vids on tiktok. as if they themselves r not stanning and babygirlifying ppl who have the exact qualities in snape that they claim to hate
weird ass double standard. like, u can hate snape idc but it’s weird as fuck to go after snape fans when you yourself like death eater characters.
“Oh but there’s not much canon info on them and snape’s a child abuser”
last part is debatable but BARTY LITERALLY ABUSED CHILDREN?? 4TH BOOK?? HELLO??? He tortured an animal in the middle of class, and turned a kid into a ferret and assaulted him?? he was also a death eater?? People will then proceed to make Barty racist and homophobic in their fanon and then be like ‘but he’s repressed and closetted 🥺 poor thing’ do you fucking hear yourselves.
