My Disability Studies professor said something that I think was very good and explains a lot about professional attitudes toward people with disabilities. This is what she said:

“We [people with disabilities] are the last thing on the HR discrimination list. Companies always list things like, ‘we eliminate discrimination on the basis of gender, race, religion, nationality, identity… oh, and disability.’ It’s just tacked on at the end. The others are mostly about being nice, respectful, and treating people equally. Not discriminating against people with disabilities is more complicated. You need to change your environment, code, the way you design things. You actually need to make changes, and most companies do not want to do that.”

I thought this was a really good insight. We’re often thought about last, if we’re thought about at all. Accommodating us takes effort and a lot of people just don’t want to make the effort.

I’m glad that OP:

1) Figured this out.

2) Shared so others can learn from their mistake.

“Do it scared” “do it alone” are all great tips, but my biggest takeaway from therapy is do it messy. This is especially true if you’re getting out of a burnout, which I experience often. Literally just do it messy. You don’t need to pick the perfect trail to walk, the perfect playlist to listen to, whatever the fuck it is. You don’t need to have a meticulous to do list and wake up at the exact time you planned and drink the exact amount of water you planned to drink. Like the biggest thing for people like me to remember is sometimes it’s okay to do it messy. Put on a random yt workout and just get it done in sweats. Do 5 minutes of a daunting task and go from there. Sometimes just getting up is a win during intense burnouts or depressive funks. Literally just do it messy.

Feel free to add your own. Please note this is not just "any" fun blockbuster, it's a certain subset where it's a bit of a romp, everyone in the cast is having fun and it's just a joy to watch.

[mygeekcorner]

Mamma Mia. Obviously.

[ladyananas]

ok but. i need you to know that the mummy, men in black and pacific rim in particular are regarded as technical masterpieces when it comes to director skill & cinematography?

the intro shot of rick o'connell in the mummy is one of the best and most efficient camera work in an action movie. the way pacific rim utilizes space when showing the kaijus is literally taught in art school. they're not just blockbusters they're also iconic movies on a technical point of view!

sometimes things feel good because they are genuinely really good!

i know most leftists agree that everybody should have a right to food, water, shelter, and healthcare but i think a vitally important fifth pillar is privacy. people should not be compelled to be tracked, monitored, or to share personal space with others to access their other essential rights

"If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear" is and always has been fascist rhetoric everyone.

Thinking about how following the 2008 financial crisis, poverty was so bad where I grew up that many couples who no longer lived together and had broken up years ago were still married on paper because they couldn't afford to get a divorce, and fewer couples (re-)married because they couldn't afford that either — especially if children were involved, because government benefits for single parents were better than for married couples. So you'd often have couples living together but one of them would have their primary residence registered at their parents' home so that on paper, it looked like they were separated and usually the mother was a single parent.

[shamebats]

Poverty makes you very creative. When (younger) people complain about "having to pay" for streaming services, I'm always kind of surprised because I was taught how to pirate media as soon as we got a family computer for the firs time. I'd visit my cousin and she'd have qtorrent running on the family PC and we'd download stuff to watch and games to play. Teachers would bring obviously pirated copies of movies for us to watch in class, or It was very normal, because physical media was so expensive, nobody could actually afford it. You could also go to a flea market and buy bootleg copies that people were selling.

Not even 2 decades later, after a few years of streaming being the norm, and it seems like people have already lost much of that beautiful creativity & propensity for casual delinquency. Which is a shame, because it was a lot fun and made a lot of capitalists very angry.

[shamebats]

I kind of miss it. People are too bootlicky in wealthier countries. Back home we used to steal shit just because paying for it was loser behavior. People would think you're a sucker and low-key bully you a bit if you actually bought an original CD at full price. It was a nice antidote to the capitalist mindset.

[shamebats]

Ironically, the only people who still know how to get away with not paying for stuff and have fun with it in class solidarity with each other are the mega rich capitalists. Everyone else will just pay up.
