The American Census Bureau is considering changes that would artificially decrease the number of disabled people in the US. We may be able to stop this.

According to this article from the Associated Press, the Census Bureau's proposed changes would align the way that the American Community Survey measures disability with international standards. They will be changing the way that some of the questions are worded, as well as changing the options for answers.

The problem is this: the questions about disability will ask if respondents if they have “no difficulty,” “some difficulty,” “a lot of difficulty” or “cannot do at all” with regard to things like hearing, seeing, ability to bathe or dress oneself, etc. Someone will only be counted as disabled if they answer "a lot of difficulty" or "cannot do at all." This excludes a lot of people. "During testing last year by the Census Bureau, the percentage of respondents who were defined as having a disability went from 13.9% using the current questions to 8.1% under the international standards. When the definition was expanded to also include “some difficulty,” it grew to 31.7%" (AP).

So what can we do? The Census Bureau is accepting public comment on the proposed changes until the end of the day on Tuesday, December 19th. Visit this link to submit your comments, and tell the Census Bureau why this change is a bad idea! Statistics show that at least 25% of Americans are disabled (CDC). We can't let the Census Bureau erase us.

Please share this widely, and submit your comments before the close of business on Tuesday, December 19th! I also highly encourage you to check out the Associate Press article linked above, since it does a good job of explaining the situation in more detail.

friendly ghosts

#pixel art #animation #danny phantom #danny fenton #blob ghosts #pls fullview 🙏 i drew too big for tumblrs dashboard again #forcing myself to get better at drawing backgrounds by shoving my current obsession into the scene #love when ppl draw little blob ghosts following danny around #also the idea that super weak ghosts are invisible to normal humans but danny sees them just fine #like amity park is utterly INFESTED w ghosts but ppl are only aware of the big flashy ones

yayyyy happy seattle night 1 and happy haim night 1!!! it’s time to play the surprise song game :) to clarify this is ONLY for the surprise song set so guesses of nbnc won’t be counted if it’s a setlist addition. if you think it’ll be a one night only surprise song thing then feel free to guess it but it would be way to much for me to keep track of everyone’s guesses otherwise. but anyway as per usual just drop your guesses in the tags or replies and i will give you a shoutout if you’re right 🩷

my guesses are right where you left me (i know) and the outside

#almost went invisible but i have a weird feeling that she already played it (even though i don’t ACTUALLY think she did?) #ITS GETTING SO HARD TO KEEP TRACK #mine #surprise song game #taylor swift #i’m currently experiencing massive pain thanks to unlucky like us #so i feel like tonight taylor is just gonna pile it on

A loneliness like morning frost.

#dsmp fanart #dsmp #c!tubbo #c!tubbo fanart #dsmp tubbo #YEAHH drawing my boy again. literally drawing him makes me so happy #gosh the current arc on the brain loop is snowchester and for me personally overall the feeling of loneliness was more pervasive than the #domestic fluff. Both of them were equally important to each other - the loneliness and the love #but between the lore streams I can only imagine what kind of chill that house held. especially those last few months #with cranboo dead - their ghost slowly fading away - ctommy watching ctubbo from afar invisible #I downloaded two Snowchester Zines awhile back - and each of them had Drastically different tones. I LOVED both. #one made me warm and the other cold. The one called Safeguard does an amazing job of depicting the haunting feeling of Snowchester #anyway. ahem. yes I’ve still been drawing and stuff just have not been on tumblr so much. see ya guys next post <3 #dawnsart

Bones, you're my hero. There's never enough Quan Yizhen and Yin Yu in the world 🙏

I really like them!! Theres not a lot of them in the novels but they still make such a great impression. I like Yin Yu, in particular. Really have a fave character type huh

#ask box #not art #like there are definite parallels between him and mu Qing #misunderstood/vilified #in love with an idiot they have complicated feelings towards #their old/current boss is all powerful #likes to wear black #one started off a star and became invisible #one started off invisible and became a star #and both have strong feelings about that too #or maybe I’m just drawing infinite parallels between everything and my blorbo #as is the way

Feral magic in a lover’s form. His edges blur into shadow, his skin the color of moonlight. His eyes are the exact color of the moss behind him. He is wild, but so is she.

Sometimes I get sad thinking how the Count, Countess, and even Julian call Javier "Sir Asrahan".

Like maybe it's actually something really nice; a sign of respect for all the hard work Javier's put in to becoming a knight for the Frontera family, and he can proudly use a knight's title ("Sir"). I could see him really enjoying that. A badge of honor, showing his hard work and loyalty.

But like. I dunno. Do none of them remember the little boy who grew up in the manor too? That was Javier, who grew up wearing the same little bowties Julian did. Where's Javier, the young man close enough to Julian to complain to each other about Lloyd? No, even in private, apparently he's Sir Asrahan.

#i dunno. im a fan of being more formal like in historical times (sirs and maams and last names) but like #something about this one thing makes me sad. julian isnt formal with lloyd even after all that. why is he formal with javier? #tged #currently writting a scene with julian and javier and lloyd and im dying a little at the little invisible divide on how they all interact

from an interview with mister warabino after the airing of the first episode: "in 'ultraman blazar', there is a lot of effort put into analyzing and clarifying the reasons for the appearance of such monsters and the meanings behind their actions. for us on the human side as well, not only discovering and defeating them, we also consider seriously whether it's really okay to defeat these monsters."

it's always neat to come across these kinds of sentiments as they appear every so often across the franchise. the premise of this season seemed to have a particular deliberate interest in it, so it's exciting to see these ideas now kinda coming to the forefront in the recent episode's developments 💭

#on teruaki's end as well. his faint familiarity with the folklore surrounding nijikagachi is an interesting intersection #his presence in the preview makes me curious as to where they're going with that #intended to post about my impressions on the episode much earlier but i always find this season difficult to discuss #its expression is how do you say... it's currently very much still setting things up #there's a lot of gesturing towards a still-invisible whole. i think it's interesting to think about! but also #i don't feel confident giving my opinion without a good grasp on the intent at-hand #ultrablblog #krtext

I was today years old when my grandmother finally revealed how to pronounce her name... my grandfather called her by the wrong name for 12+ years and passed the pronunciation down to his sibling, nephews, son, and granddaughters and this woman said not one word about it. I had to find out from her talking to a cashier about reward points. Good god.

#weeping #for some reason this man loved adding 'ee' sounds to everyone's name #I should've known when he introduced me to my current bosses #I should've connected the dots #Idek if I should fix it now or just... keep trucking on #this is not a struggle I ever invisioned encountering #wdym your name's not your name 😭😭 #it's been so many years!!! #boop's rambles

Man, knowing that I'm less than two weeks from my last final is really shaking me because I have so many things I said I'd do after I graduate and they're very close now!!!

One of them is going to be leaving all the discord servers I don't talk in and also pruning following / friends lists like hell and back. This will allow me to finally come off invisible on discord, and it'll be nice to have discord statuses available to me again ;~;

#sg.txt #for context I do not currently feel safe coming off invisible on discord #because there's this one guy in the one uni club i was in for a while #who has some fucking grudge against me for NO REASON #and since i would like to not be accused of seriously abusing them again #(they have me mistaken for SOMEONE ELSE ENTIRELY) #i have not spoken in that server or come off invisible in months #graduating means i can leave all those servers and then the fucker can't track me down anymore #it's also why i started looking for and then changed my url #and i'll also be updating my website domain as well! #then the only thing i have left to change is my email which i can't atm #because i need gdocs still #but ugh it'll be nice. that club was a great idea until they refused to kick that person out after they levied false accusations against me #i hate not standing my ground but it was so not fucking worth it #getting rid of all that shit will be nice #like bye university friends it was fun for a bit but i'm movin on now #(boston's foreplay long time starts blasting) #actually yeah lmao my graduation playlist consists of #boston's foreplay / long time; alice cooper's school's out; piko's the glorious unseen; and megurine luka's no logic #don't need any other songs just those four #wild #in other news i got wacup working

the problem with not having any new fics to read bc they havent been posted yet is that when Invisible Tigers Are Hunting You, there is no distraction

#this Baseless Fear that sometimes strikes me #reminding me of my mortality and making believe it is deeply immediate despite how illogical it is #Is Getting Real Fuckin Old! #i gotta grip onto the reminder that i am Only Twenty. i have my whole life ahead of me probably. #there is Time. things will get better. someday i will Accomplish Things. #i will turn around and wish i could visit past (current) me and say It Does Get Better And You Will Not Only Exist But Live. I Love You. #but for tonight i feel very small and scared #and i am using the company of videos and stories to soothe the Invisible Tigers #i think i will.... reread some fics.... perhaps... #i havent reread stamps yet.... ill go do that #get my laughingstock crumbs #ill put on birdsong in the bg #im borrowing my friends lovely headphones. i Need some of my own. earbuds just dont do it anymore #especially since theyre noise canceling. Yummy #theyre helping immensely i think #absolutely unprompted #sorry for once again Venting on Main #i am very tired and have no other outlet <3 #its 4 am. i have to get up in 7 hours. i am still too terrified to sleep #but its okay its Fine this night will Pass #thats half the fear but all the same. there are Good Things in my future. i have hope theyre there. theyre waiting for me. #ill figure it out Ill Figure It Out. #we all will! #we'll all get there. someday before the end.

She searches his face."Do I know you?"
