Although not going by the term "asexual" yet, asexuality was spoken about alongside homosexuality as far back as the 1890s. Asexual history is just as vital to queer history as any other term and I'm so tired of watching us being treated like a new thing
roald dahl was antisemitic and misogynistic. george orwell was openly homophobic. edgar allan poe married his 13 year old cousin. dr seuss cheated on his wife (and was racist as well as antisemitic!). hp lovecraft was racist as fuck.
anyways they’re fucking dead it’s not like you’re enabling their behaviors in the afterlife or something. then again I think they bleed into the books so uh keep an eye out for that
the difference between these old white guys and jk rowling is that the former group is all dead. jk rowling is alive and using your money to oppress trans people
Having a doctor notice one of your symptoms before you have the chance to point it out is the chronic illness equivalent to someone noticing and complimenting you on your new haircut.
it's insane to me that donnie donahue doesn't have more hype like okay mr gorgeous brown eyes big ass muscles loving father and husband who shows up and gets his job done well ily. and goddd the "death and chaos" tattoo after pittfest and then the "miracles and blessings" after his daughter was born ohhh crying donnie donahue they cannot handle your empathetic well adjusted soul genuinely one of the most likable people on this show
he would not fucking say that, but with disability.. he would not fucking be able bodied. sick n tired of characters walking away from multiple life changing injuries without a scratch. let’s get some natural consequences in here.
give that knife/sword fight survivor nerve damage. give the character who was shot in the gut a stoma. give that fire survivor lung damage and an oxygen cannula. give that leg injury survivor a cane. give that starvation survivor gastroparesis. give that spinal injury survivor a manual chair or powerchair.
while we’re at it, give your characters congenital disabilities too, just because. give them intellectual and development disabilities. give them acquired and postviral illnesses. dare to make somebody bedbound. for me.
sexism in medicine kills people. racism in medicine kills people. fatphobia in medicine kills people. queerphobia in medicine kills people. classism in medicine kills people. ableism in medicine kills people.
do not downplay people’s fears about being mistreated because they are a part of a marginalised group. it is a matter of life and death and you should be angry about it.
Me: "Damn people are REALLY BAD at knowing when to tag their eyestrain art/images...either that or they just don't care about photosenitive epileptic people like me. I feel really sad now."
Person: "But Allison, what if they just don't know or understand what qualifies as eyestrain and what doesn't?"
Me: "You know what? That could be a factor...While it is always better to be safe rather than sorry (so YES people should always tag eyestrain even if they're unsure if it "counts" or not) maybe you've got a point?"
Anyways! HERE'S YOUR HANDY GUIDE TO WHAT CAN COUNT AS EYESTRAIN! I'm pulling this straight from the Artfight rules page about what needs to be labeled and filtered as eyestrain because it's VERY helpful and VERY accurate! I also know not everybody has an AF account and might not always have access to this handy guide, and this is an important resource; That's why I'm sharing it here! (under the cut)
PLEASE TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY!!! THIS IS ABOUT THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF OTHERS!!!

"But Allison! How were you able to screenshot that example if you're so sensitive to eyestrain?"
I dimmed the HELL out of my computer screen and looked away while taking the screenshot and did the same when putting it into this post, that's how lol. BUT YEAH ANYWAYS!!! Once again:
PLEASE TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY!!! THIS IS ABOUT THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF OTHERS!!!
[PT: all-caps Please take it seriously!! This is about the health and safety of others!
Picture ID below the cut:
[First picture ID: A chart titled Cheat Sheet, divided into two columns.
First column is titled Needs Filtering. It lists:
Large amounts of bright colors, including backgrounds; High contrast bright colors; Chromatic abberation; Optical illusions; Fast-flashing or bright animations; and Intense glowing effects.
The second column, Doesn't Need Filtering, lists:
Small amounts of bright colors; Slow flashing animation (under 3/sec); and Minor glowing effects.
Second picture ID: Visual Guide to Eyestrain Filters, which uses a generic gray character with patches of colours described as such:
Small amounts of bright colors: the figure's tip of a hand and foot are coloured bright cyan and magenta respectively. It is the only instance labeled with a green V mark to signify it does not require an eyestrain tag.
The following are all marked with a warning sign to signify needing an eyestrain tag:
High contrast bright colors: the figure is wearing a neon rainbow coloured shirt.
Bright/neon backgrounds: behind the gray figure there is a bright magenta square as a background.
Chromatic abberation or glitch effects: the gray figure's outline is chromatically abberated with a magenta and cyan glitch effect.
Intense glow: the figure's eyes and heart are white with a bright cyan glow effect.
Clashing patterns & optical illusions: the figure's arm is covered in gradually thinner black and white stripes like in optical illusions, and their leg has a black, yellow, and cyan chess pattern.
