SHOTS FIRED!
Is funny when doctors and other peeps act like my problem is that I’m obsessed w/ my disability. Um no. You have it backwards. The problem is I HAVE to be cuz it is a constant problem.
I’m deaf. About 25 years ago, I was working for a little while as a classroom aide at a program that worked with deaf children with multiple disabilities. All the teachers and other classroom aides were hearing, but they all could sign. Not at native signing level, but enough to carry on a basic conversation.
So, one evening, all us adults bring all the kids to a special one-night camping trip. All the kids are put to sleep, which frees up the adults to get into a circle and have some fun to ourselves for a while. People start talking, except they were forgetting to sign. So I reminded them to please sign so I could understand them. One of them told me that, no, they weren’t going to sign because this was our night to have fun and not have to think about communication.
So no one signed all night. They talked, they laughed, they had fun. I sat, feeling lost and cut off and betrayed. I remember wishing I had had the nerve to say, “No, what you mean is, you want a night in which everyone EXCEPT ME gets to not think about communication.”
I think sometimes when non-disabled people insist that we are too obsessed with our disability, what they REALLY mean is, “I wish you would stop reminding me that I have a shared responsibility as a fellow member of society to proactively ensure that we all have an opportunity to be engaged in society. I wish you would just pretend to not have a disability so I can pretend that I don’t have to do anything to enable you to do the same things the rest of us are doing.”
The luxury of not needing to think about disability in a society that is designed to lock us on the cold outside is a non-disabled privilege.
This is my thought process every time someone tells me that I bring up my Panic DIsorders, Agoraphobia, or various physical health issues too often
Here’s the thing: I bring it up often because they affect every aspect of my life. I don’t get to decide that I’m “sick” of bringing it up and take a breather from thinking about it; I AM it. My illnesses (both mental and physical) are as much a part of me as anything else.
I’m sure it’s inconvenient on y’all to hear me mention my stomach pains on a every-few-days basis, but I can guarantee you that it’s infinitely more inconvenient for me to have to know what I can or cannot eat, knowing that if I deviate from the “okay list”, I will be in excrutiating pain with potentially dangerous levels of blood loss for days, if not weeks, on end.
I’m sure it’s inconvenient for y’all to hear me say “I can’t go outside, I’m agoraphobic”, but I can guarantee you that it’s infinitely worse for me, living with the thoughts that are rattling around up there while having a bunch of bridge-dwelling trolls on this hellsite tell me that I’m just trying to be oppressed.
Mentally/physically disabled people don’t necessarily want your sympathy or special accomodations; They just want a modicum of understanding and respect.
People accommodate neurotypical, hearing, &/or able-bodied people all of the time. They just don't think of it as accommodation or name it as such.
Ableism allows our needs to be seen as a burden, too much, "special", *extra*, inconvenient, hard work. Always.
Tfw you try to defend capitalism but accidentally admit that capitalism is a system that literally cannot function without exploiting people in the most morally reprehensible way possible just so that a small group of peope don’t have to stand in a bread line.
So what would people be doing in China if we got rid of sweatshops? Would they all become software developers?
They’d likely be doing subsitance farming. They wouldn’t live in poverty like they do now, true, they’d probably just starve to death.
I say this as someone who is not in favor of the status quo, with 80% of wealth earned going to the top 1%. I’ve just heard some arguments against it that I hadn’t considered before.
congratulations on missing the point, big time
Wait, how the fuck do you get from “subsistence farming” to “starving to death”? Like, China prior to the entry of the agents of capitalism wasn’t exactly some barren hellscape waiting for western intervention to save its starving people.
Wait, how the fuck do you get from “subsistence farming” to “starving to death”?
Pretty easily, actually. If you’re making just enough to feed you and your family, you’re pretty much screwed if anyone gets sick or say, there’s a dry season and you can’t farm.
Aww man, I am about to knock your socks off by inventing the grain silo.
So, that implies you’re growing enough food to have excess enough to store it. Which is great, if that’s the case, but that is a different scenario.
I don’t want to mince words here, what exactly is it you’re saying should happen? Hypothetically, we shut down all factories that could be described as a sweatshop; what happens next?
Are there any other jobs that the citizens could do to make a living? Is farming and growing your own food, and building a grain solo etc, something you’re suggesting actually happen in China, or were you just being rhetorical?
Because many of the factory workers are people who left the countryside to move into the city because of extreme poverty. If farming was viable, and preferable to working in a sweatshop, more people would do it.
At first I thought this was funny then I just got sad because I honestly can’t imagine being either this unimaginative or this misinformed or this resistant to actually learning shit lol.
Where does @tomatomutato think all the people currently working in factories are getting their food from? More people working in factories means fewer people working on farms. Since the factory workers aren’t currently starving according to tomatomutato, this means that the reduced number of farmers are already producing enough food for them. If those people stopped working in factories, the food supply wouldn’t be affected. If they all started farming instead, all other things being equal the food supply would reasonably be expected to go up. It’s a myth that increasing safety decreases jobs, in general, but let’s pick something like reasonable overtime rules. Wouldn’t reducing the number of hours a given person works create more jobs since more jobs would be needed to reach the same number of labor-hours?
I can't believe people are seriously justifying slave and child labor and sweatshops.
People in Asia don't deserve to suffer for "first world"/"developed" and western countries and their comfort, privilege, and capitalism.
So much racist, colonialist, imperialist, nationalist, xenomisic, ableist, and classist bullshit wrapped up together in a nice pile of shit and tied with a bow.
Goddess fuck, we shouldn't *need* to debate the economics when human lives are at stake. People > profits.
And when those of y'all are busy defending capitalism no matter the cost, don't suddenly pretend like you care about the plight of Chinese people and how they'd deal with the aftermath of ending the aforementioned three. You're really just concerned with how *we* would deal with the aftermath.
the whole “fiction doesn’t affect reality” argument is actually kinda racist…
people talk about like how finding nemo and jaws are great examples but nobody ever talks about how fiction has shaped our perceptions of different racial and ethnic groups like do you think the media has no hand in why alot of ignorant white people think africa is a desertland and not a continent of different countries, full of rich and diverse cultures, beautiful buildings and riches? or why they think asia is only japan, korea and china? when asia is also india, bhutan, the Philippines, nepal, etc? do you think that media and fiction hasnt allowed whites to view black people as ignorant and lazy thru cartoons and minstrel shows? like if you really think what youre seeing on tv doesnt affect reality and how people think then like. you must be fuckin stupid.
there are several studies which prove this by the way. like how black children (and white girls) self esteem is negatively impacted by media.
studies show our perception about asian americans, and their perceptions of themselves are impacted by media.
there are harmful psychological effects on native americans thanks to sports mascots.
stereotypes of latino/latina/latines in media have - you guessed it - harmful effects - including political ones
how about how inaccurate race and poverty images in the news effect our views on welfare?
positive images of disability effect disabled people positively, where as negative images effect them negatively
the availability of GLB roles on TV positively impacts the gay community
and i honestly i could go on and on and on and on
i know i know water is wet, all these studies to tell you what common sense could. but like … there is very real research out there that shows fiction has a very real harmful impact on minority communities. and that positive representation has a positive effect on these communities.
so no. fiction is never just fiction. and frankly people who think fiction is just fiction can fuck off.
tumblr friendships are hard to maintain like im sorry i know i havent talked to you in 5 months but you’re still super rad and i still consider us friends im just dumb
#if you’re wondering if this is for you #it’s probably for you
If I have ever messaged you or messaged me and never heard from me again, I still consider us friends. I just suck
This, but for basically all my friendships
I’m sorry, and I love you all
Yeah like just Tumblr friendships?
😍😙🖤❤💛💚💙💜🖤

I'm so disappointed that freeblr isn't like /r/freebies for Tumblr.
Message from Tai’s Family
Please note that this post does mention suicide, depression, and chronic pain.
Tai took their own life on November 9th, 2017 at the age of 21. We wanted to share with their friends their obituary below, both to remember Tai, and to ask that if you are struggling with anything, please reach out, and please get help.
Tai left us far too early. Born June 23rd, 1996, in Peekskill, New York, Tai was an artist, free spirit, explorer and rebel who defied category, exploring and rejecting conventions of gender, of privilege, and even of species. Tai worked hard to make sense of the world as they found their place in it, at times awed by its beauty, and often frustrated by its dichotomies. More than anything, Tai was a loving and caring friend, child and sibling, who tolerated no nonsense, other than that inspired by a keen sense of humor.
Tai revered the natural world and found comfort in it, beginning with the woods of Westchester County, the banks of the Hudson River, and the shores of Long Island. Love of nature and commitment to other species defined Tai from their early years: At the age of ten they became a vegetarian, explaining to family that Tai couldn’t eat their friends.
Art was a central theme of Tai’s life, and we are left with many, yet still too few, drawings, sketches and fabrications. At age 18, Tai debuted their work “Mess – Self-Portraits and Assorted Art Shit” at MadeLife in Boulder Colorado. Of Tai, a friend once wrote, “Endlessly creative… Drawing, always drawing, while exploring the light and dark nooks and crannies of [their] internal landscape.”
Tai believed passionately in social justice. In the fall of 2016 they joined water protectors camped at Oceti Sakowin, in Cannonball, North Dakota, commonly known as Standing Rock, in defense of both the planet and the rights of Indigenous people. They are fondly remembered by friends they made there, who admired their fire making skills, and traditional blessings are being offered.
Tai, who suffered from fibromyalgia, is widely credited as inspiring the #cripplepunk or #C-Punk movement on Tumblr, which rejects “pity, inspiration porn, & all other forms of ableism… [and] fights internalized ableism & fully supports those struggling with it.“.
There are so many words to describe Tai; complicated, astute, inquisitive, funny, goofy, challenging, wild, spooky, hard-assed, uncompromising, kind, loving… The first word that comes to each of us will be different, yet still fit perfectly. That is why there are so few words to describe our loss.
The cause of their death, a suicide, is inseparable from the post-traumatic stress and eating disorder with which they struggled for many years. Please, if your are considering self harm, call 911 or contact the National Suicide Prevention hotline, 1-800-273-8255 (US). In Canada resources are available at https://suicideprevention.ca/need-help/
If interested, donations are being accepted in Tai’s name by The LOFT: LGBT Community Services Center 252 Bryant Avenue, White Plains, NY 10605. Please do not feel it is necessary.
If anyone would like to reach out to us you can reach Tai’s father, Tim at [email protected] or Tai’s sister, Cat at [email protected].
Despite the pain and loss, we must find a way to celebrate Tai, ourselves, and each other in a way that Tai would. To do that in their memory because they weren’t able to do if for their self. And again, if you are hurting, or struggling, in any way - please reach out for help.

if poor white people and black people lived together for long enough time to realize that they have a lot of things in common…america itself would be a wrap.
We did that already and the poor whites still chose to appeal to upper class white sensibilities because whiteness
^^^^^ yup. You have some real deal white radicals in the south ( ex. poor white appalachians worked with the panthers) who are aware the system of capitalism keeps them in poverty and who understand how that system is linked to white supremacy, but overwhelmingly you have poor whites in rural areas who feel cheated out of what they think whiteness *ought* to afford them and they enthusiastically use every chance they get to blame their marginalization on black People, immigrants, Jewish People, etc. Many poor white people who know they are suffering blame the overarching system for their pain, but many (more) blame black People. The same thing happened in the UK- you had all these angry white people who were mad they were poor and some saw the system for what it was and this informed scenes like punk, oi, etc and led to the formation of things like SHARPS (skin heads against racial prejudice), and various antifa groups. While others took that anger and became Nazis, racist skin heads, and prioritized White supremacy as a response.
this is beyond depressing. it’s as if they use racism to feel as if that will lift them to WASP status and like…sorry to say boo
Oh you’re right- that’s what many people think. They believe in bootstrapping, but what’s worse is that many don’t care and will still elevate whiteness out of principle. Many whore people know they are poor and the system that exists will not help them because of that, they know conservatives are against their own best interest, but they don’t care because to them it’s about the principle of not conceding to blackness or liberalism. You can see the same thing as a response to Brexit- many know leaving the EU is against their best interest (they have no natural resources among other things) but it is about the principle of prioritizing whiteness and preserving white identity and not conceding to anything else.
Shit- sometimes my phone autocorrects white. It was not my intention to use that word.
i wish disability and neurodivergent activism was more common. i wish ableists were looked down upon by society. i wish every feminist was told to include disabled and neurodivergent women in their activism. i wish i could log onto another site thats not tumblr and see activism for the disabled and neurodivergent
Me as hell.
Every activist event, social justice person... just so much ableism it's overwhelming! I expect better off them...
Here's a thing to brighten your day.
i appreciate what rose mcgowan has done in bringing down weinstein and raising awareness, but the fact that y’all are using that to excuse her transphobia is a joke
“[Trans women] assume because they felt like a woman on the inside. That’s not developing as a woman. That’s not growing as a woman, that’s not living in this world as a woman, and a lot of the stuff I hear trans complaining about, yeah, welcome to the world.” - Rose McGowan
that’s fucking heinous. when she was confronted by a trans woman about her statements, Rose McGowan accused of not doing anything for women before going on a rant about being attacked for her vagina.
also, hey, remember when Rose McGowan worked with convicted pedophile and child pornographer Victor Salva and, when confronted, said this: “I still don’t really understand the whole story or history there, and I’d rather not, because it’s not really my business. But he’s an incredibly sweet and gentle man.”
here’s article where she said that. warning: it’s also full of her saying ignorant shit about LGBT+ people while trying to pat herself on the back for being an “ally.”
Rose McGowan appears to me to be someone trying desperately to be famous for being activist, but is confused and angered that she can’t spew hate about one group of people whilst trying to publicly defend another. I get the distinct impression that she wasn’t expecting the outpouring of abuse stories which followed hers which has stolen her limelight and shone a brighter light on her troublesome beliefs. For me it was the attempt to steal attention from #meto onto #rosearmy which took the biscuit.
and don’t forget how she literally tried to attack alyssa milano for being a part of the MeToo movement, saying her support and experiences weren’t genuine and calling her a “lie.”
Wow. I'm not familiar with her, I think, besides Weinstein, but she sounds like a a pile of rotten eggs. Fuck her.
