Having physical deformities is very isolating.
I have deformities in my hands, wrists, and everything from the pelvis down. There are some movements my body is physically not capable of and that will never change because my bones are a different shape than most people’s. My legs are rotated in a way that braces do not exist for, I would need highly customized super supportive braces for it to do anything other than sit there and be an explanation as to why I walk weird. Off the shelf aids do nothing for my body.
When you look from a distance I look mostly normal because I am sitting in a wheelchair and probably wearing long baggy pants, but the first time my boyfriend saw my legs uncovered and fully extended he found it hard to believe that I am able to walk at all. There’s not really a way to explain it without showing a picture which I am not doing.
My hands do not move the same way as yours probably do. My thumbs do not have full range of motion because I am missing half of a joint in both of them. I hold things differently, I do things differently, and I have been bullied relentlessly my entire life for it.
I’m tired of physical deformities being pushed to the side because it’s too much for most of you. Too much for the world to have to look at the body I don’t have a choice for.
There is not a single position that is comfortable for me unless I am doped out of my mind on several different types of medication. I have had doctors look me in the eye and say they have never seen anything like this before and they can’t help me. I have been told by a doctor that if she was me she wouldn’t have wanted to be born.
And this is all met with “well can you blame them?” Because my existence is some people’s worst nightmare. Being me is their worst nightmare.
While we’re here, never try to police the language someone is referring to themself with. I call it a deformity because that is how I view it for myself. That is what I am comfortable calling it. It’s the same reason I use the word crippled, it’s undeniable. I don’t like using flowery language to describe what has been a very hard experience. I don’t view it as something to be ignored and I don’t view it as something to be made pretty, it’s something that is real and very difficult.
This is why I am so drawn to Hephaestus. He has deformities in the same places I do. He was the first place I ever saw someone that actually looked like me. But also I feel like it’s pretty sad I can only find representation in a god from a religion that was at its highest over 2000 years ago.
remember kids if the hand that feeds takes from hungry mouths your priority first and foremost should always be to bite it
The thing that makes Abed such important autistic representation imo is NOT that he's some amazing perfect unproblematic portrayal because lmao no but it's like. He was created by a guy who didn't know what he was representing at first and didn't know what that meant about himself, and he listened when people talked about Abed being autistic and he did research, but he also was clearly struggling with a lot of issues and I think internalised ableism. So like Abed's portrayal has the perfect mix of grasping for acceptance and sometimes reaching it very well but other times missing the mark and being so full of terrible assumptions, but they are assumptions that are true to life for an autistic person to be faced with. And then audience reactions to him tell you a lot about their views on real life autistic people, pretty reliably. And it's like sometimes it's very painful to watch but that's because of the gut-wrenching accuracy of how people treat him and how he treats himself sometimes.
And ALSO because Danny Pudi is an amazing actor who from the things he's said about it seemed to come at the task with deep compassion and a personal understanding of what it's like to be different from everyone around you, albeit in a different context
sorry if i'm gonna be quiet for a while. my country recently introduced laws that make it so that in order to use social media to the fullest (not being able to view ns/fw content and in a few cases, not even having access to dms), i HAVE to give the sites my id/face scan.
it goes into effect july 25th. it'll probably effect here too, since this place allows mature content (tho not full on ns/fw)
i'm very distressed about it bc i might end up not even being able to talk to my internet friends. i don't really have any irl ones
if i have to disappear on most socials by then, you know why.
if you're in the uk like i am there IS a petition to sign on the official gov petitions website asking to consider repealing this law. it currently has almost 8k signatures and needs 10k in order for the government to even acknowledge it (and 100k for them to debate it)
idk if i can post it here but please... go sign it! and go write to your local mp if possible. they need to realize how dangerous this law is going to be for uk citizens online. it doesn't protect children, it's just privacy invading AND a huge security risk to boot
and if you are NOT in the uk, spread the word around! especially let any uk moots you know about it
A customer asked for pickles on their sub and I (dumbass) reached for the cucumbers. They quickly went “oh, no, I want pickles!” and I immediately said “they could’ve been pickles. in another life” ????? Why did I get hired????????
My mom kept complaining that all of a sudden the Beatles are back and they're fucking everywhere and they're so obnoxious and were practically having an orgy in her garden under a cucumber leaf and that's when I realized she meant spotted cucumber beetles and not Paul McCartney
all that said the guy with my car insurance company who answered the phone was so fucking funny. he had a heavy Georgia accent which endeared me to him immediately and he was sooo worried about me and apologetic that there was no one to send to my aid and I said "that's okay. if i end up missing though they're gonna interview you as the last person who heard from me. what if there's a documentary?" and he said "ooooooo, can I start drama?" I said, "well, what kind?" And he said, "I'm gonna tell them you said you saw a green flash in the sky over the field and I heard strange voices then the line went dead."
genuinely obsessed with him to this very day.
People: Tone indicators are useless because who even knows what those abbreviations are supposed to be, it's too confusing!
Me: So right, that's why it would be useful to spell out the whole word. So instead of /s it's/sarcasm for instance. Indicating the tone of a conversation (such as sarcasm) is a really useful tool to help neurodivergent people who might otherwise struggle with reading the tone of a conversation in person or in text
People: And since it's too confusing, it's useless and we might as well throw the entire idea out and not use it
Me: wait what?! No, just, just spell the entire word out. It's an easy fix!
Do you consider fish a type of meat? As far as you know, do vegetarians typically eat fish? (or if you are vegetarian, do you?)
I'm vegetarian; fish is NOT meat, and I DO eat it
I'm vegetarian; fish is NOT meat, but I DON'T eat it
I'm vegetarian; fish IS meat, but I DO eat it
I'm vegetarian; fish IS meat, and I DON'T eat it
Fish is NOT meat, and most vegetarians DO eat it
Fish is NOT meat, but most vegetarians DON'T eat it
Fish IS meat, but most vegetarians DO eat it
Fish IS meat, and most vegetarians DON'T eat it

every time im shown a baby (usually a coworker's) I've learned to coo because it's the expected response but seeing a baby does nothing to my brain. that's a worm who might start screaming. but apparently everyone finds babies cute? is everyone else also pretending or am I the problem ?
do you genuinely find babies cute
yes
no

Not to be a Boomer but your social media should be your own space, not something employers are allowed to look at to judge you beyond the qualifications stated in your resume and cover letter
The other day my work had us take a social media survey about what social media platforms we’d be comfortable posting about our products on and I selected “I don’t use social media” before immediately coming over to Tumblr to dunk on them
why did they make her wear this. she looks like she skinned elmo and is wearing him as a trophy
Some of the Death Note's rules are really funny if you think of them as clarifications for users, necessary fixes to address exploits, or bugs that the Shinigami king isn't going to fix.
If a Death Note owner accidentally misspells a person's name four times, that person will be free from being killed by the Death Note. -> patch to fix exploit where users would attempt to brute force killing someone by writing every possible name in the Death Note
However, if the Death Note owner intentionally misspells the name four times, the owner will die. -> Patch fix to stop exploit where users would try to grant themselves immunity
The person whose name was misspelled four times on purpose will not be free of death by a Death Note. -> Necessary clarification because users thought they could grant someone else immunity
If the same name is written in two or more Death Notes within 0.06 seconds, the entry is regarded as simultaneous; the Death Notes will not take effect and the individual will not die. -> Rare bug related to When the same name is written in two or more Death Notes, the Note which was used first will take effect, regardless of the time of death. Root cause is server requests first check if the same existing request was already made. Simultaneous requests assume the other request is valid and delete themselves. Will Not Fix. Bug is rare and fixing it could result in new exploits related to repeatedly writing a person's name in the Death Note.
When you write multiple names in the Death Note and then write down one cause of death within 40 seconds of writing the first victim's name, the cause will take effect for all the written names. Also, after writing the cause of death, even if the conditions of death are written within six minutes and 40 seconds in the human world, the conditions will apply only to the victims for whom they are possible. Those for whom the conditions are not possible will simply die from the specified cause. -> Code bug caused by undefined and ambiguous input syntax. Will Not Fix.
Once the victim's name, cause of death, and conditions of death have been written down in the Death Note, the death will take place even if that Death Note, or the part of the note used, is destroyed before the stated time of death. -> Clarification to stop users from pointlessly destroying the Death Note
The Death Note will not affect those less than 780 days old. -> A patch added to get around various cultural arguments related to when something is considered "Human"
You cannot kill humans who are more than 124 years of age with the Death Note. -> Added in reference to a Shinigami meme
You cannot kill humans with less than 12 minutes of life left (in human calculations). -> Patch that addresses undefined behavior from edge cases where the victim dies naturally before the Death Note can normally take effect or during the window the user can write additional details to the cause of death.
We even see the Death Note's rules kinda being treated like this in the one-shot the creators put out a few years ago, where the kid who gets the Death Note sells it ...and the Shinigami king immediately makes a new rule that no on can profit over the sale of the Death Note without dying, which the MC promptly does. This falls into doing something about exploits.
By "default" I mean what is the first meaning that comes to mind for the term. You may use it in many ways, but if someone asked you "what does beta mean?" what would your first response be in your head (and maybe you self-edit and actually say something else instead)
What is your default understanding for the word, "beta"?

Never realised how cursed kangaroos were until last night. I'm camping and 3/4 of my tent is surrounded by bush which must've freaked out the local wildlife. Waking up in the middle of the black night to the sound of HOPPING and shuffling outside your tent then a little nose loudly sniffing right near your head is a uniquely horrifying experience. Totally forgot I was Australian for good minute and thought I was going to be taken by something from the Blair Witch Project before I remember kangaroos exist
I've informed by our camping neighbours that one of the animals ruffling near my tent last night, keeping me up, was actually a bandicoot
THIS motherfucker
When I was a kid my elderly neighbor called up my house at like 10pm to tell us that she caught our pet rabbit in her yard, and that she must have escaped.
We get out of bed and go over and she hands us a live bandicoot, barehanded. Just. Holding him like Simba, hands under his little arms.
This happened multiple times a month. We would be like. Are you sure it's our black lop-eared bunny? She would say yes it's definitely the rabbit. Nope. Unnaturally patient bandicoot again. Being held like a little baby. Visibly brown and pointy.
She was upset at us for letting our rabbit get into her vegetable garden and would not accept that he was a wild animal owned by no one, that ate insects not cabbage. We showed her the rabbit. No. We showed her his teeth. No. The cabbages had been eaten by something (snails, also shown to her) so it must be our rabbit, the bandicoot. If we didn't go pick him up she would put him in the bathtub and bring him over in the morning. Could not convince her that he wasn't a pet.
We named him Bruce and just released him into our yard every time because we were worried she would put him in the hutch with the rabbit if we didn't, and we didn't know what the rabbit would do.
Pretty sure it was the same one every time because apparently she would just walk over and pick him up off the ground and everything. No traps no gloves.
VISIBLY BROWN AND POINTY
