The thing that abled people who advocate for the disabled community don’t get is that there are times when disabilities/accommodations clash. Horribly.

Like I spent years having to come up with a solution to get therapy dogs into a series of residence halls. Why years? Because we had to decide who got to stay and who got to leave: the people who needed therapy dogs or the people with severe allergies to animals. Who got the alternative housing? 

Things like fidget toys might seem great for some disabled people but having them in the room could be distracting/overstimulating for others. The same goes with stimming. It can’t be helped but neither can the anxiety that another person in the room feels as they watch/hear it. Additionally, something like a weighted blanket might immediately calm one kid down and send the other one into a panic attack due to the claustrophobia it causes. (*Points to myself*)

Every Metro bus in New York City has a series of seats at the front that can be lifted up to accommodate people in wheelchairs but if I’m in one of those spots then someone with a cane/walker has to journey even further to sit down.

The flashing lights of a fire alarm are there to help deaf/hearing impaired but if they’re not properly timed, they can also cause a person to have a seizure.

The worst part about all of these is that there is rarely a concrete solution that makes everyone happy/safe. And I’m not here to offer any because I don’t know them. I’m just here to remind you all that as you’re taking your education/health classes, as you’re reading your textbooks, as you’re preparing to go be an advocate, just remember that there is rarely ever such a thing as a one-size-fits-all solution to advocacy and that something you do that can help one disabled person might actually hinder another.

Food for thought.

i support universal free healthcare for one simple reason: if you are diagnosed with a terminal illness you should quit your job. quitting your job is the correct response to terminal illness. but you can’t do that if your healthcare is tied to your job

[thecaptainsgingersnap]

You shouldn’t date or become serious friends/partners with someone if you can’t stomach the thought of being stuck in a car or train with them for 16 hours.

we love Sean Temple in this house!!!

donna's husband spent that whole episode just going around saying "i love my wife and daughter" "i didn't agree but what was i gonna do, stop my wife? you haven't met her" and "have you met my wife and daughter? they're the most beautiful women in the world"

and it's exactly everything that donna deserves

Traditional Wilfred Mott wearing antlers Christmas post

A small thing but when I saw Percy in a red jacket, I was like ‘huh’ but shrugged it off. Cause while I never imagined Percy wearing warm tones beyond the camp shirt, it felt a little off but it’s just clothes.

Then the Minotaur charges in and Sally asks for the jacket and I’m like ‘oh no way, she’s gonna oley this!’ but the moment it cuts to the wide shot of her and the Minotaur I nearly yelled out:

MY MOM TEACHES ME BULLFIGHTING

like it’s the little details that builds up to this big things, like you can see a line in the bull’s horn from when Sally used the car to crash away from the Minotaur and then Percy sees it and snaps it off

I’m completely normal about this show
