Happy Pride!

We’re kicking off Pride Month with a list of items that we think media should keep in mind when reporting on the LGBTQ community this month and year-round.

In the US, a person’s wheelchair is viewed legally as an extension of their body.

1. If you touch someone’s wheelchair without their consent, that is Assault. In some states, this is automatically Aggravated Assault because the assault has been committed against a disabled person.

2. If you grab a someone’s moving wheelchair to stop it, lean on their wheelchair making it jolt or tilt, climb over their wheelchair to get past it, or move their wheelchair because you think it’s in your way, you are risking injury to an obviously medically fragile person and that is Reckless Endangerment.

3. If you grab or hold onto a wheelchair, block it or in any other way prevent the person from leaving, that is Unlawful Detention or Unlawful Restraint.

4. If you start pushing a person’s wheelchair without their explicit consent, that is Abduction.

This is not a moral philosophy or an opinion. These are legal definitions. If you do any of these things, you are committing a crime for which you can be prosecuted and do jail time, and you will have a criminal record which will follow you for the rest of your life.

These same laws are applied in the same way to any mobility device including canes, walkers, and scooters. If you kick someone’s cane, grab their walker, pull on the handlebars of their scooter or in any other way touch or manhandle someone’s mobility device you are committing a crime for which you can be prosecuted and go to prison.

“we were white people running away from other white people”

[waesrdtyuijhfhnghvjklkkjh-deact]

My country’s literal revolution is happening right now but nobody cares bc it’s not impacting the US/Europe

[waesrdtyuijhfhnghvjklkkjh-deact]

Millions of people in the capital of Sudan (Khartoum) have gathered to protest the regime of the dictator President Omar Al Bashir who has been in power since 1993

[waesrdtyuijhfhnghvjklkkjh-deact]

People of all walks of life are protesting non violently and 60 have been killed since yesterday

[waesrdtyuijhfhnghvjklkkjh-deact]

Revolts have been going on for years and prior to this uprising children have been gunned down by the police for even being in the general vicinity of protesters. The state in my country is so bad that people in the army who have been told to stop the protests are joining in (including high ranking officers).

***quick fix: 60 people have been killed or seriously injured sorry for the misinformation y'all

PLEASE BOOST THIS

I had this girl in my class and she was considered to be like really dumb. She’d ask a ton of doubts and questions in class, which everybody would consider to be “stupid"and “silly” and even the teachers would often taunt her but she’d never stop asking. But the thing was that she’d almost always top the class examinations and everyone was like???? They all thought she was cheating and stuff and obviously even the teachers were very biased because she wasn’t so ‘smart’ in class, and she was regularly accused of cheating. But nobody could prove that she was actually cheating but the whole class and teachers totally believed that she did. I’m pretty socially awkward so I never really talked to her, but she was leaving school this year and I was genuinely curious about how she was so good during exams and how she didn’t let everyone’s remarks affect her. She always used to sit and hang out with only one girl, and she told me that that friend of hers was severely socially anxious and she’d lag in studies because she couldn’t bring herself to ask doubts in class or ask for help from others. So they had this system where during lectures her friend would write down any question she had, and she would ask them for her. And I was just so touched??? Idk but it really changed the way I looked at people?? This girl endured taunts and jeers and borderline bullying for being “stupid” when she was actually really smart and could easily have refused to ask such doubts for her friend but she did?? And brushed off everything others would throw at her for her friend?? I was just, idk it just really changed me in some way.

This is also a commentary on ableism and how hurtful it is. One girl was so afraid of being seen as “stupid” that it stopped her from learning. And, judging by how her friend was treated for asking those questions, she was right to be afraid.

[tuxedo-beanz]

Ya know, teachers always said “don’t be afraid to ask questions.”

But do you know what happened when you asked questions, at least at my school(s)? They would say “I just taught this, weren’t you paying attention?” So of course that made many of the students feel like idiots because they asked for help, like they should have understood right away.

This girl did something so many of us were afraid to do, and it wasn’t even for herself.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility

[talesfromtreatment]

Foiled!

Today I got to go on one of our runs to more rural shelters to help relieve overcrowding there. We ended up bringing back 21 kittens and 10 dogs. So fun day. But this morning, while I was getting stuff together in preparation for the 90 minute drive…. This happened.

Excuse you Tiniest Opossum, but you are NOT allowed to escape through the front bars of the cat carrier we were housing you in. I’m going to put you back.

“NO!”

I am going to catch you and put you back and you have no say in this matter.

“NO!”

Catching you and putting you back now.

“NOOOOOO!”

Aaaand back you go. Let go of the purple towel and go in the cardboard box.

“Noooooooooooo!”

Eldest sisters r the most oppressed

[celestialinent]

hey yall dumb fucks reblogging this and yapping about how, ur life is actually super hard as a younger sibling…

the ‘eldest sisters are oppressed’ thing is based on the fact that the oldest girls in many families are, a lot of the time, drafted into watching her younger siblings to the point that shes more of a young third parent than a kid anymore. shes expected to be incredibly responsible while her younger siblings get to make mistakes. she get to do more housework than her father because apparently men shouldn’t have to watch laundry.

op is obviously referring to the ways in which older sisters ( nope not brothers) are forced into maternal roles by both society and their parents for a number of reasons, not limited to society’s insistence that they must learn to become mothers early. theres also the fact that many families both need and cant afford childcare. this idea that an oldest sister is free childcare is bullshit.

[kceyagi-deactivated20190519]

There’s a book called “The Eldest Daughter Effect” that goes into detail about this. And it applies to the oldest daughter so even if the oldest child is a boy and the second child is a daughter, she is the one who ends up getting all that extra pressure and responsibilities for younger siblings. 

[treeflesh-moved]

*sips tea* Sounds about right.

[teaboot]

Being the oldest daughter is like being a third parent to children you didn’t have.

[essekknits]

It got to the point where I sign my sister’s school paperwork and get her ready to school every day.
