is it culturally appropriate to say “here comes the airplane” to your baby if you had twins

[hidefdoritos]

Hey everyone, remember that being sick or healing from injuries is a hard time for your body. You have to eat a lot and lay still and be kind to yourself! [large neon sign that says HYPOCRITE descends from the ceiling and points at me] Hey what the heck what's this who put that there

comic i made about being higher supports needs autism and masking

(btw if anyone can help me out by writing an image ID for this that would be much appreciated !!)

[gonyadaldysgenesis]

[img ID: a comic compromised of 8 panels. each panel has a pink background background with a light pink border.

panel 1: on the left is an orange-and-yellow furred anthropomorphic dog with curly brown hair waving to the viewer. to the right of them is the text: "hi! I have Severe Autism! I want to talk about masking!"

panel 2: the top of the panel contains the text: "Usually, people think of masking like this."

underneath is a happy stick figure person to the left saying: "haha wow what a totally normal person. i would never guess they're autistic!"

to the right of this stick figure is a cat wearing the mask of a person, saying: "i'm actually very burnt out by this."

panel 3: the top of the panel contains the text: "But when you're higher supports needs, it's not usually like that."

from left to right, top to bottom, the 5 drawings contained are:

a small white cat with yellow headphones with a tablet in their hands. below is the text: "communication differences".

next a gray cat watching a small brown cat run very far away. below is the text: "elopement".

next a brown dog sitting in a wheelchair with a catheter and catheter bag. below is the text: "comorbid physical disabilities".

next is a brown cat with sunglasses and a gray happy cat standing next to each other. below is the text: "24/7 aid".

next is an overstimulated appearing gray fuzzy dog with a red helmet flapping their arms.

below all drawings is the text: "Our Autism is often very visible no matter what!"

panel 4: the top of the panel contains the text: "So, can higher supports autistic people mask?"

to the left of the panel is the orange dog from panel 1 saying: "It depends! some can and some can't. and when we do mask, it probably looks different!"

panel 5: the top of the panel contains the text: "here's some examples!"

the first example shows a black dog first flapping their arms, and in the next drawing chewing on their hand.

this example says: "instead of preferred stims, I might do different, often harmful stims like biting myself, pulling my hair, or picking my skin. I might also get overwhelmed a lot faster if I can't do my preferred stims. I likely can't just stop stimming completely."

the second example below it contains an image of a tan dog happily holding a pink tablet, and in the next drawing having no tablet and holding their paws over their mouth.

this example says: "instead of using my regular communication method, I might just not communicate at all. I likely have speech difficulties or can't communicate at all and can't force myself to speak "normally" [in quotes] even to mask."

the third example contains a drawing of a dazed orange cat with swirly eyes and orange headphones.

this example says: "instead of letting others know my needs, I might dissociate or go quiet. I likely get overwhelmed very easily and/or need help with basic needs like toileting. when masking, I might not ask for help when I need to."

panel 6: the top of the panel contains the text: "But what's the point of masking if you can't hide your autism?"

below is a drawing of the orange furry laying down, saying: "we still get the pressure to "Act Normal" [in quotes]. A lot of us also went through ABA and we're taught to suppress symptoms".

panel 7: this panel contains the orange fursona close up saying: "A lot of us also don't realize when we are masking!"

text to the left of her says: "family and caregivers may need to help us in this situation!"

panel 8: this panel contains the large text: "I created this short comic because I often don't feel included or represented by how others usually talk about masking, and wanted to put a different perspective out there and show you how I experience it. I hope you enjoyed it!"

below is a tiny chibi drawing of the orange furry and the credit text: "postmanic".

The more I analyze this film, the more I realize... Ava was batshit.

I love Ava. She's complex; an insanely cool character with an amazing performance, and I am NOT demonizing her in any way. The whole point of the movie is to look at these characters as humans and know that they can also be monsters, and still feel bad and acknowledge their pain anyway.

But... something was wrong with her. Something was really wrong with her. Her decisions were erratic, her crew was scared of her in some ways, and she repeatedly seemed to shift very quickly between emotional states.

I think Ava was in some kind of mental break during this movie, or at the beginning of one. Her dynamic with David is just... so strange. Like David continuously was shocked by her behavior, and if you remember that line where he says, "she's had a consolidated stick up her ass since the Quiet Rapture"...

The Quiet Rapture was ~21 years ago.

They'd been a crew for at least 20 years, and now Ava's scaring him?

What happened to her? What changed? The mission? What was this crew like before the Quiet Rapture? We know the Tow Ship is equipped and knowledgeable about salvage.

This is all rhetorical ramblings while I figure stuff out... hmm...

MCYT FANDOM BOOTCAMP (from a Dream SMP fandom survivor)

Seems y'all can use some tips on what to do when it comes to content creator actions and the fandom! (These are largely my opinion based off my own experiences in the mcyt fandom, if you disagree that's okay, my page may not be for you<3 I don't want to see any harassment of anyone anywhere near any of my shit.)

GOLDEN FUCKING RULE!!! HARASSMENT GETS YOU NOWHERE!!! IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT OR DON'T AGREE THEN SCROLL OR USE THE BLOCK BUTTON!!! (as long as it isn't Illegal... Then maybe report that-)

#1 Content creators are actors/writers

Just like an actor in a movie, or the writer of a piece of media, they play and make characters. THAT ARE OTHER THAN THEMSELVES!!! After the piece of media is made just like any fandom those character are usually taken by the fandom into their grubby little palms to do whatever they want with! It's just the way of the internet, and honestly how fan creations have existed for years.

#2 If a creator has boundaries, do not tag them or use tags that have direct connection their content creation persona when posting about characters

If you're talking about the character, use the character tags not the tags of the creator themselves. Don't tag usernames, use the character tags such as the ones with the series name in from of it or the Series Initial!insert character here. Beyond that there is only so much separation you can do.

#3 Cancelled creator? Your character now!

Did the creator of your favorite character get cancelled? Welp that looks like the price of that character just went down to free 99 my friend! Normalize taking characters from people who don't deserve them! Take it as a chance to have complete freedom with your head canons or lore rewrites if you haven't already!

#4 A03 is an archive for a reason

Even if you choose to not personally write for that character/ship/fandom anymore, please don't delete works. This is more of a personal gripe but orphaning a work is so much better than deleting them. It just sucks to have so much lost media</3

#5 Fan works are what keeps fandoms alive

The moment we stop creating fan works is the moment this community dies. And the more we try to police what others do or don't do the more we tear it apart. Keep the creativity flowing<3

[strawberry-crocodile]

i'd make a joke about "let the HUSBAND giggle under the covers and tell HIS WIFE to put that camera away before dying before HIS WIFE'S story starts" but lets be real he'd still get more fanart

[strawberry-crocodile]

sir do you understand that you are being criticized right now

[tinkerbitch69]

The best thing about tumblr is you can just make a criticism of a very specific person completely unprompted and then that person will appear as if summoned in your notes to prove your point for you.

june is over... goodbye pride month, hello disability pride month!!

[ctrl-shift-alt-9]

Shout out to all the Bloodymary writers who acknowledge a post-canon Simon would be disabled, and then properly address all the complex bullshit feelings that come along with it.

You make a lot of people feel very seen.

[marvelmaniac715]

As its disability pride month, I’d like to teach you all about a sport that’s close to my heart - boccia. Boccia is a sport specifically designed for disabled people, it’s even part of the paralympics. It’s a sitting-down sport, out of respect for wheelchair users as well as those who cannot stand for other reasons, and it just makes us all equal. Any disabled person can play it, whether you’re physically disabled, have a cognitive disability or, for example, if you’re visually impaired, and it’s in different categories so that nobody is unfairly made to play against somebody who is a great deal stronger than them, both a doctor and a physical therapist classify each player to make sure that they are playing in a set that’s right for them. I’ve talked a lot about the inclusivity, but not about what the sport actually is. Essentially, it’s an indoor version of bowls, and there’s three ways to play it - singles, partners, and teams. When you play single, you have six balls that are either blue or red, and in four ‘ends’ you take it in turns with your opponent to try and hit a white ball and knock the other player’s balls away from the white ball, which is called a jack, and the way that turns are decided is that the player whose ball is the furthest away from the jack must keep throwing until either they run out of balls or their ball is closer. In teams, you play with two other players on your own team and have two balls each, and it essentially works the same except you have a team leader who decides which player is in the best position to throw their ball at the jack, and there are six ends (I forgot to mention that each player takes turns to start an end by throwing the jack and the first ball). Partners works similarly to singles except you have four balls each, play with just one other person on your own team and alternate which player from your own team will throw instead of delegating. The balls look like this:

Additionally, some players do not throw the balls, but instead use a ramp, but this isn’t easier because their assistant is not allowed to look at the court and the player must direct them on how to position the ramp to achieve the optimal shot. I’ve watched a few ramp games myself and I think they’re really impressive. There’s boccia tournaments, both local and national, and the players in each category are ranked. The number one champion in my category frequently plays in other countries, and there are many opportunities for boccia players including one player who was in a Pepsi advert once. I’m talking about this because I am proud to be disabled, as well as to be a boccia player, I’ve only been playing for less than a year but it is a joy to find a sport I am actually good at. Also, not many people know what boccia is unless they have first-hand experience, I’ve had to explain the sport to lots of people (not that I mind at all) and out of curiosity, I searched the sport here on Tumblr and found almost nothing, which I think isn’t right for such a wonderful and inclusive sport. I hope that if you’re disabled like me, I’ve encouraged you to look more into the sport and possibly give it a try, and if you’re non-disabled, I hope you’ve learnt some interesting facts about such a relatively little-known yet infinitely worth discussing sport :).

“what’s stopping you from-“ listen i am so so sleepy

[parkayquarts]

im not even the type of guy to go "actually it's frankenstein's MONSTER" because a painting by rembrandt or picasso or any other artist is often called "a rembrandt" or "a picasso" as shorthand. so in this respect frankenstein's monster can be considered "a frankenstein"

[parkayquarts]

darling I love your 8 foot tall patchwork flesh creature, it really livens up the place. is that an authentic frankenstein?

[parkayquarts]

it's only a true frankenstein if it was produced in the frankenstein region of switzerland. otherwise it's just a sparkling homunculus

[genderoutlaws]

whenever people talk about regret irt medical transition and top surgery especially i always think of an older cis(ish) butch woman who was always quick to tell anyone she saw binding about how she did it for decades because of severe dysphoria and how she absolutely wrecked her back and now in her old age couldnt comfortably bind anymore but also had other like unrelated health and aging issues that meant she no longer felt safe with the risk of surgery besides what she already needed. and basically that she was put off from surgery because of stupid ftm butch border wars and narratives about regret and unnecessary cosmetic surgeries and what she always told those ppl binding was that they should get surgery as soon as possible and not risk another year of binding and developing back pain or risk the possibility being taken away from them. loved that diva down but every interaction with her was so thoroughly colored by the deep regret she felt at not pursuing transition. that's the kind of regret and longing i think about and worry about irt medical transition far far more than regrets about doing the transitioning in the first place ykwim
