OLD PEOPLE: WHAT!!!!!!!
this is gonna be all of us in fourty years w our amazon echo brain implants
i rarely see more than one (1) disabled person in fiction, and at that i rarely see disabled people that don’t have on sight disabilities. ya know i just wanna see a character or two having type one diabetes, better at that, i wanna see them be in some sort of fantasy fiction.
off topic of this, but i hate the “character with x disability gets disability ‘fixed’ once in fantasy/magical land” trope, like why are people so quick to fix us? why can’t people just make living with disabilities easier in fantasy lands instead of erasing them?
like i’d love to have a tiny pocket dragon that could sense my blood sugar highs or lows, i’d also think it’d be cool that a wizard could give me a potion that lets me eat cake or pizza or pasta without dying.
I think a lot of the time, abled writers are under the impression that they’re doing disabled people a “favour” by providing escapism from what they consider to be awful lives. The thing is though, when you’ve got a disability you tend to be quite good at finding ways around it, and honestly? Can you imagine how wild that would get in a High Fantasy? It’d be fantastic. Consider:
Pocket service-dragons like OP said, trained to monitor vitals and blood sugar. They’re good at helping people with cardiovascular-type problems, epilepsy, diabetes and asthma. All the dragons require in return is permission to hoard pocket lint in caches around the home.
A different, slightly larger breed of dragon will sit on the shoulders of those who are Deaf and/or blind. They’re probably about the size of a crow. These ones act as guides and signed language interpreters, and are able to communicate in more code (or a fantasy equivalent) by tapping with their claws. Plus, they’ll breathe fire at anyone who is being an ableist piece of shit.
Fantasy hearing aids that are part magic, part tech. They mould around the ear in whatever shape the wearer wishes (bonus if they look like serpents or vines with a silver sheen) and, if not being used, can coil around a wrist or finger. (Do you have any idea how many times I’ve almost lost my aids bc they fall out of pockets or get misplaced??)
If the wizarding world of JK Rowling gets wingardium leviosa, then fantasy can totally have magically enchanted supports - walking frames, crutches etc - that come to the person’s aid when needed. Also, levitating charms? Clothing that supports the wearer so that a lower-limb amputee can whisk around places? Just think about Doctor Strange’s magical cape.
And then, after all that, your fantasy world can literally just have the same aids as ours. There are many, many creative options and every single one of them are preferable to being erased from the world of fiction.
*sigh* I’ve already made an addition but this idea is SO under-explored. So please also consider:
The literally limitless possibilities for prosthesis, including having a character stand on their flying prosthetic foot in order to fly/levitate, prosthesis that remains awake while they sleep and can defend them in the night, prosthesis that looks completely real but is just packed with compartments, prosthesis that functions precisely like a real limb and is directed normally by the brain, invisible prosthesis, magnetized steampunk prosthesis, limb prosthesis that is basically a floating hand/foot with the limb between missing- like, can’t be touched missing,
A full menagerie of mythical beasts that can serve as service animals, up to and including keeping the soul in the body while waiting for healers to arrive so that the heart can be re-started much longer after it has stopped beating. Some mythical birds were said to steal nightmares and fly away with them as well.
Horse-sized intelligent dragons used as mobility aids
Chariot/chair/wheelchair mobility aids that levitate and/or move quickly
Emergency communication devices that will alert the other holders of a crisis with location and specifics even when you’re is unconscious, such as with epilepsy or passing out from low blood sugar
Hearing aids/glasses that not only aide impaired hearing/vision, but also allow the user to hear/see in other specified places in the world
Magical devices that stimulate dead nerves in cases where a limb goes dead, reducing the need for amputation
Similar magical devices that straight-up reanimate dead limbs, so that you can leave your arm lying around and still use it when you walk away (so much plot opportunity, SO much)
Magical capsules you can swallow that give you lots of healthy energy, which can be used for various disorders that lead to fatigue but can also be used as a first aide to aide healing of wounds/illness
Pill cases that remember what you need to take and what you’ve actually taken and WILL get in your face if you’ve forgotten
Capsules or spells for cleanliness that reduces the need to bathe for those for whom it’s difficult
House plants that release chemicals your brain SHOULD be producing so that you breathe it in- possibly in conjunction with medication that helps to regulate so you don’t overdose on serotonin what you’re trying to sleep
Plants you can eat that will literally replace your compromised immune system
A ritual that will take a magical 3D photograph of your current physical condition, and, if you’ve taken one, you can use this complicated spell to have your physical body go back and become exactly what it was at that point- like a computer backup.
Many, many options for spells, healing herbs and rituals that will ease chronic pain
okay I just wanted to tell you guys something I found really, really cool. My dad works for the VA, right? (Veterans Affairs for anyone outside of the US. They have hospitals all across the US that take care of the veterans of our military.) He works as an overseer/liason between the VA and contractors that they hire to build new clinics/buildings for the hospitals. So he ends up having a say in the final building plans (like if he’s doing the last walkthrough and sees drains on the floor that are at the highest part of a bathroom floor he can point it out and be like “that won’t work, do blah blah blah instead.” and then that gets put into motion.)
The thing is, a large portion of veterans are disabled, especially ones that frequently visit the VA. So their standards for accessibility are generally higher than ADA standards. As usual though there’s a lot of shit that gets done that just clearly wasn’t planned with disability in mind thought through. But my dad has a disabled daughter he now sees navigate the world in a wheelchair, so when he sees that shit, guess what? He says something. He makes sure it is changed. He says he catches more accessibility nightmares than he ever has before, because he actually has to see me deal with those things.
So when I’m reading a post out loud from @accessibilityfails, @phoenixonwheels etc or dealing with/ranting about some inaccessible bullshit, I know it is at least making some small positive change in the world.
Yes absolutely people designing these spaces need to hire actual disabled people to give feed back. The owner of Olive Garden in multiple provinces has done this with me. Basically she is trying to get everything accessible as her son is disabled and gave me her personal cell to call about any issues. Slowly but surely things are changing but it’s a long way to go still

when iCarly said “so wake up the members of my nation” she was referring to the proletariat gaining class consciousness, when she said “it’s your time to be, there’s no chance unless you take one” she was calling on us to break free from our chains and rise up

my mitochondria clearly aren’t working because this bitch has NO FUCKING ENERGY
Mitochondria machine broke
actually the funny thing is that this post is basically describing what researchers now think is the underlying cause in chronic fatigue syndrome (as in there is notable dysfunction in mitochondria that means less ATP is produced, especially under stresses)
THIS BITCH EMPTY
Y E E T
My mitochondrial myopathy feels this on a spiritual level.
Instagram is depressing. I prefer tumblr where everyone is upfront about their misery and constant desire to die
“was that a joke or a cry for help” bold of you to assume there’s any difference
Hey! Just a warning because ive been seeing a lot of people reblog this su fanart. The artist who drew these, redkatherinee is a TERF and has drawn trans people being harmed, killed and boiled alive!!! So please, if you see this art, watch out!
Op can we have proof before this gets (potentially) out of hand
Sure!
she has radfem in her own description
here it’s her drawing transwomen in an offensive, willingly masculine manner and ridiculing their appearance while also implying transwomen are rapists and violent
her trying to pass defending transwomen for lesbophobia and “neopatriarchy”
her implying radfem is the only possible feminism
her mocking the appearance of transwomen again
and again
and again
implying feminism shouldn’t care about male victims or men issues
her with a terf apron and a cake with (in her idea) trans people baked in - I’d like to precise that I am a trans person who find the continuous “cishet” jokes really annoying, but this is clearly not about the jokes itself as much as trans people and the apron makes it clear.
her cooking/boiling trans people alive
implying transwomen are not women
So yeah the artist IS a terf + transphobic , decide for yourself if reblogging or not from her, but these are the sources .
Artist is mentally a shitty 12 yo edgelord. Incredible.
maybe if we unplug America and plug it back in???
leave it unplugged

@staff can you please do something?
@staff
This website is infested with pornbots, please respond.
@staff I’ve been reporting them left and right, but this is a plague. C’mon.
I’ve reported at least 100 of these. @staff please.
@staff my block list is now 500+ names larger. Ive reported every one of them, as well. What are you guys doing about it
Staff:
@staff DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS
Guys, I had an idea. Since tagging @staff won’t work,its a bot, whenever it has the celebrity asks,let’s spam asks like “what will staff do about pornbots?”
Signal boost this best idea

To all my precious underaged followers:
- If a grown ass adult asks you for sexual favors (this includes virtual stuff like sending nudes)- tell a trusted adult to call the police on their ass
- If a grown ass adult approaches you and puts their hands on you in a sexual manner- punch that fucker square in the face and tell a trusted adult to call the police on their ass
- If a grown ass adult is making you uncomfortable with sexualized commentary- tell a trusted adult to call the police on their ass
- If a grown ass adult argues “oh but you’re so beautifully mature for your age!” and consistently tries to manipulate you into unwanted sexual scenarios- tell a trusted adult to call the police on their ass
- If you have a bad feeling a grown ass adult is watching you/following you home/taking unconsenting pictures of you- run the fuck away, don’t be subtle. Seriously. Scream, make a fucking scene so that creeper knows they’ve been caught, and then tell a trusted nearby adult to call the police. Go into any local stores or businesses if you have to. This one might actually save your life.
- If your underaged friend is in an unhealthy relationship with a pedophile and refuses to tell someone out of manipulation, desire, or fear- tell a trusted adult to call the police on their ass
DO NOT EVER BE AFRAID TO REACH OUT FOR HELP WHEN YOU FEEL THREATENED BY A PEDOPHILE. THERE’S NO SHAME AT ALL IN ASKING FOR HELP. I WILL BE SO PROUD OF YOU FOR BEING BRAVE AND STAYING SAFE IF YOU DO. THERE ARE TOO MANY PREDATORS AND CSA SURVIVORS OUT THERE FOR YOU TO TAKE THIS MESSAGE LIGHTLY. THIS IS NOT AN OPTION. I AM TELLING YOU IF YOU ARE EVER IN THE SITUATIONS LISTED ABOVE, THIS IS WHAT YOU SHOULD DO. FIND A SAFE ENVIRONMENT AND TELL SOMEONE YOU CAN TRUST BEFORE THAT AWFUL CREEP ENDS UP HURTING YOU OR SOME OTHER PRECIOUS KID OUT THERE. KEEP KIDS SAFE BY PUTTING THESE SICKOS BEHIND BARS!
