Y'all realize poor eyesight (aka needing glasses) is an actual disability right?

Its simply one our society has normalized and made accommodations for. Its one you can function with at virtually no impairment for most because its easy to get glasses/contacts and enough people need them that we’re taken into account.

People laugh at the concept of needing glasses being a disability, but that’s because its become the standard to see disabilities only as things extremely difficult and unbearable to live with, or things that aren’t for “normal people.”

That’s wrong. How life is for people with glasses is how life should be for people with any other kind of disability - normalized, unstigmatized, unquestioned, accommodated, with resources made available.

It should be just as easy for someone in a wheelchair to have access to things that make life functionally indifferent from people without wheelchairs - just like living with glasses is for most.

Society needs a redefinition of disability - or, scratch that, they need reorienting on what “disabled” looks like and how life should be for disabled people. Being disabled isn’t defined by its hardships - it is a state of being that is unfortunately 99% accompanied by ridiculous hardships because society refuses to accommodate and still thinks they don’t have to because to them, its a simple fact that “being disabled is hard.” Why should they change?

A disability is something that leaves you at a disadvantage, in pain, non functional, etc. without some sort of aid.

Without glasses I could not drive or work, and it would severely impair my ability to even be social. You know what else does that? My other disabilities that are considered “real disabilities.”

You know what aid I have ease of access for? The thing not considered a disability. And I’d bet money that’s a direct reason why.

[irresistible-revolution]

i will say, that while glasses are certainly normalized, cost=wise there’s definitely barriers to getting tests, different kinds of prescriptions, quality of frames and lenses etc. that being said, everything else is spot on.

[abcscandal-deactivated20250327]

^^ op is extremely correct and so is this comment. a significant number of latinx and black children in impoverished school districts don’t have the funds to pay for tests and prescriptions. this has turned out to be one major factor that affects these students’ performance in school and, more importantly, their ability to learn in a classroom they cannot see well in. it’s not just abt normalizing accommodations, but making them accessible to everyone!

[ayamccabre]

Another thing with how normalised glasses are: no one thinks twice about people only needing them sometimes, or only needing a very weak prescription. But someone who only needs a wheelchair sometimes? Or who could technically manage without one but everything would be harder? That’s controversial. It needs to not be controversial.

[supermermaids]

Although a great analogy, I feel like this is glossing over why needing glasses is such an accepted disability.

There is virtually no accommodation associated with slightly impaired vision. Glasses don’t require ramps, larger stalls, or designated parking spots. It also doesn’t cause you to miss days of work, or to have remote work as your only option. You can even opt to be seen as not having any disability with contacts.

The world is fine with glasses because glasses don’t cause any “inconvenience” to those without it.

And just to further prove that this is about the fact that there’s virtually no accommodations needed, I want to point out movie theaters. If you want to go to a 3D movie while wearing glasses, it will be awkward and uncomfortable. These 3D glasses are made with the able-bodied in mind. They could easily make clip-on 3D glasses for people who use glasses, but they don’t. Even the one instance where people with a very common disability could use accommodations, they don’t.

Don’t fool yourselves into thinking any sort of disability won’t be overlooked and ignored by able-bodied people.

Due to personal reasons I will be surrendering my corporeal form to become a multidimensional abstract concept that’s incomprehensible to the human mind

[cheaphalloweencostume]

i propose that “himbo” and “bimbo” are not true opposites and exist more on a four part axis and the missing other two are “herbo” (a big dumb sexy strong woman) and “himbim” (a skinny stupid pretty boy)

[yeah-yeah-beebiss-1]

herbo is that movie about the car tho

[cool-ghoul]

I’d like to postulate that these all exist around the center of 0,0 being a “Bobo”, having no significant gendered traits and mediocre physicality, a point where there is nothing else but clownery, absolute buffoonery.

it's 2022. donald trump has died in disgrace days after being impeached and jailed. my chemical romance's new album is coming out the same day as the new spiderverse movie. the lizzo and janelle monaé collab song is blowing up the radio. lil nas x has a verse in it. you and your partner have time and energy for dates after work after jeff bezos' assets have been seized and distributed to the public in the wake of his arrest for keeping employees in unsafe working conditions.

This is two pigeons, pigeons nest in bonded pairs (notice the first one is checked and its mate on the nest is barred). Usually they don’t make nests nearly so big but I guess if you have the materials, go for it.

[professorsparklepants]

Okay I reblogged this before BUT the visual contrast between the first scene and the second one is fantastic. The first sets Peter’s vibrantly multicolored suit up against the black & white colors of the reactor; the second does the same thing, but switches the palettes. Now the background is in reds and blues and Miles’ suit is the black and white. And he still catches the eye in a screen full of moving parts. THIS MOVIE, GUYS.

[blindstargazer]

It’s Miles standing out against the colors of the original Spider Man.

similar to what i said last year, people often see jin as the silly & funny member in bts. although he is that member, i hope people will always remember that he has a serious, intellectual, and inspirational side to him as well. these are just a few quotes that have inspired me over the years. 

happy birthday to my role model, kim seokjin!~

ANYWAY, I can only work one day a week right now because I’m a full-time student. The inspection on my car is due, and I also have to get my oil changed and pay my bills. Since @boredpanda wants to deny me my royalties, you should commission me.

Or donate directly to me! Here is my cash.me, and my Ko-Fi!

You can DM me for my Venmo and PayPal! ♡

yo what tHE FUCK ¡

[catgirl9696]

Interesting fact these two are playing but they are using play behaviors of their own species so they dont really “match up”!

Dog - is “bowing” and using open mouth “bites” as forms of play

“Play fight with me!”

Cat - is giving the little paw bats they use when playing with kittens

“Cute kittens get booped!”

They are both trying to engage the other in a playful way but not understanding the others responce.

The dog is like “you smack so no play? but not hard smack and no bad noise so not angry?”

The cat is like “why you jump around? open mouth but no chomp? no hiss so is okay?”

And then they sort of settle with a kind of communal grooming gesture they both understand!

Dog: no play? okay i lay… we calm now friend!

Cat: sad? no play? is ok i luv u weird kitten!
