Once my friend Henry was accused of wearing wireless headphones by a substitute so she said for him to hand them over so he took them off and handed them to her. Then later on she asked him a question and he didn’t respond so she said it louder and he still didn’t respond. She asked why he was not responding and he said “I can’t understand you ma'am, you took my hearing aids.”
one time we had a sub that was handing back papers and called my name. I asked if someone could grab it for me and she started mocking me for not even standing up. taunting me asking why I was not walking up to the front to get the paper myself.
my classmates went dead silent and after the sub’s laughter ended someone informed her that the wheelchair parked nearby belonged to me
My sister once had her insulin pump ripped off of her because her exam proctor (a sub) thought it was some cheating device.
He soon figured out that it was, in fact, not, when the port on her side (the place the needle goes in) started bleeding through her shirt. Her pump started beeping frantically, because that’s what it does, and it was general chaos until my sister ripped what’s basically her pancreas out of his hands, told her friend “Let the next proctor know I’ll need extra time,” and walked out of the room towards the nurse.
Literally schools are shit with disabilities. In elementary school I was having a high blood sugar reaction(cold sweats to rapid passing in and out of consciousness, vomiting and finally leading to a massive seizure before you die) and I KNEW I had to go to the nurse cuz I was getting worse. Kept telling my teach I needed to go and he kept saying no till finally I felt myself about to throw up and I’m screaming LET ME GO (i was a little kid to me i couldnt do anything in an institution without an adults say so or id basically go to hell) and the bitch said SHUT YOUR DAMN MOUTH AND PAY ATTENTION TO THE LESSON where I proceeded to projectile vomit all over my desk and he jut kept going on with the lesson. Finally I just booked it out of the room but I was too far gone to even REMEMBER where the nurses office was let alone where the hell I was that my class literally just left and helped me to the nurses office. I immediately went to the hospital and officially died for 5 minutes before I was revived. I could have stayed dead all because some fuck twad thought his lesson was more important than a students life
After Columbine, a local school installed metal detectors and made everyone walk through them and put their bags on a table for a teacher to search.
A few days into the school year, a teacher ripped a boy’s insulin pump off him because she thought it was a weapon, despite he and his sister insisting it was an insulin pump and he needed it to live.
I don’t know how many of you are still in school but I have some valuable knowledge that might actually help with this problem! In the United States there’s this thing called a 504 Plan that you can get which basically gives you legal protection from disability/chronic illness discrimination in public schools.
Students can qualify for 504 plans if they have physical or mental impairments that affect or limit any of their abilities to: walk, breathe, eat, or sleep; communicate, see, hear, or speak; read, concentrate, think, or learn; stand, bend, lift, or work
Examples of accommodations in 504 plans include: preferential seating, extended time on tests and assignments, reduced homework or classwork, verbal, visual, or technology aids, modified textbooks or audio-video materials, behavior management support, adjusted class schedules or grading, verbal testing, excused lateness, absence, or missed classwork
I’m a type one diabetic and my school nurse would do stuff like keep all my meds in a locked cabinet, not let me take my insulin or test my blood sugar unless she was watching me, and lie to my mother about me inducing low blood sugars in order to get out of class. She wouldn’t even let me keep glucagon (emergency sugar injection) on my person in case I passed out from low blood sugar.
So one day I casually mentioned all this to my endocrinologist and she was really mad. She was really angry at the school nurse for mistreating me like that and informed me of this thing called a 504 plan. A 504 plan protects students with disabilities and chronic illnesses from discrimination by outlining exactly what a student needs to meet their special needs. For me, this meant I had to be able to keep ahold of my own meds in case of emergency and keep track of my own glucose levels, that I would never be marked late for a class if I was busy treating a low, and I could pause the clock on a standardized test to check my blood sugar and treat it. If you have a disability and you’re still attending public school, PLEASE read up on 504 plans because they saved me so much grief when I was still in school. It might help you too. Here’s some more information about 504 plans:
So first of all; this might be long and rambley and I don’t honestly believe you’ll see this Seán but if you do somehow- hello!!
For the longest time now, I have been in such a bad bad place with my family and friends, distant relatives, my friendships and relationships and honestly just with what I believe of myself and what I believe I’m worth. Now, I won’t go into my mental health problems or anything like that because I feel like that’s a lack of privacy and anyone who is reading this doesn’t want to know my life story
However, in December, 2015 I finally came to realisation with myself that I am transgender and throughout 2015 I had been in such a dark and difficult place; I was burnt out and everything was crumbling around me and I didn’t know where to go and when I figured out my identity- I hated myself. I didn’t want anymore drama than I already had
Going into 2016, my whole family were outside watching fireworks while I was lighting candles in my room and watching them from my dresser with my laptop open and I was just scrolling through my YouTube recommendations and I came to one of Seáns videos- I do believe it was a happy wheels video
The man who adressed himself at the start of the video was so loud and bubbly and honestly seemed so genuine and so sweet, friendly and kind and since that first video I have watched every video as close to upload times as possible because he makes me happy and made me smile even when things were tough and I felt like my lungs were caving in.
To this very day, my thoughts on Seán haven’t changed at all; he is still such a sweetheart and I love him as platonically as any fan possibly can. With my family problems still going around, I lost faith in all of humanity. The news was filled with violence and sadness- it felt like everything was falling to pieces and because of this, my mind trapped me in a bubble and whenever something would go wrong I would be trapped inside and not allowed out and Im still working on getting myself out but back then, I let myself stay there. I wore the same smiley mask for years and because of that, I took on peoples problems and stopped looking after myself. I turned myself into a robot. But next I had forced myself into believing that everyone who seems kind and genuine is hiding behind a mask just like me and they’re not like that in real life. But I was proved wrong by Seán.
After excluding toxic people from my life and getting myself on track, I realised that this man is human. He isn’t fake- he’s not wearing a mask and he’s not some type of android that has been made to look human and programmed to make them seem as human as possible- this man has the same colour blood as me, breathes the same air as me and he’s alive. He is human.
I know this might sound dramatic but with the darkness that had consumed my mind I couldn’t breathe; it was like I was suffocated in doubt and I didn’t believe there was any humanity left.
When Seán announced his break on YouTube I was genuinely super proud of him and I still am because he took time to look after himself and put number one before two; himself before anything else. In that video he said how we can watch old videos or watch someone else’s videos and that he’ll be back and that sweetheart was still working himself up about us. He was worried if we were going to be okay and that’s the sweetest and purest thing ever and I’m sure we all appreciate that whole heartedly; but we want you to be the best version of yourself like you urge us to be Seán.
You’re an incredible human being and deserve so much for what you’ve done for so many other people. You deserve the universe in my eyes and I really hope you get everything you wish for because you’re such a sweet and kind and genuine person and I’m so proud of you for coming out on top and putting yourself first and looking after yourself and not worrying about anything but you. You’re incredible and I swear to any god- you are my absolute role model and when you took a break I finally came to the realisation that if I want to get better; I need to work to get better, not sit back and watch someone else do it for me. So thank you so so much Seán- you’re a life saver and I honestly don’t know where I would be if I hadn’t have watched that single video in my darkest of times. Without you and the community, I wouldn’t be who I am today and for that I am so super thankful- welcome back @therealjacksepticeye ,it’s amazing to have you back and I love you 💚💚💚
«If life gets you down, if life is being a bit of a bitch today, just punch it in it’s face and say: «Not today life! No! Today, happiness is my bestfriend.» Put you arm around happiness and then walk down the street together. Life will be cryyyying itself to sleep»
Jack is taking a break right now but I was thinking when he gets back we can make “Welcome Back” fanart and flood the tag with it when he is back! You can do photo edits or regular text posts as well! I just think that it would put a huge smile on his face when he’s back from his break! So in the mean time we can start making our art, photo edits etc. then post them once he’s back from his break! Let’s try to get this spread around to let the community know! I think it would make him smile so much! 💚💚💚
Alright, I know it’s Jackieboy Man’s birthday but I haven’t drawn JJ at all! So I felt like drawing him and I got my inspo from the newest art event in the PMA discord chat!
Anyways, I hope you enjoy and this did take a little too long for my liking and I’m not feeling so great about it and I kinda wanna burn it with flames but you tell me if you like it or not?
I apologise profusly if you see this Seán, this is honestly a dreadful piece of art but I’m hoping that soon my art’s block will be gone, I’ll get a drawing pad and maybe finally be able to draw better aH

As of July 4th 2018, the Internet as we know it might be dead for good.
The European Parliament is passing a new Copyright Directive.
Article 13 #CensorshipMachine will impose widespread censorship of all the content we share online. Art, fanfiction, parodies, remixes, mashups, memes, etc.. Anything that you do not hold the rights over will be taken down.
Article 13 would force all online platforms to police and prevent the uploading of copyrighted content, or make people seek the correct licenses to post that content. Internet platforms hosting large amounts of user-uploaded content must monitor user behaviour and filter their contributions to identify and prevent copyright infringement.
Such filters will be mandatory for platforms including YouTube, Facebook, Tumblr, Reddit and Instagram, but also much smaller websites.
(x)
This doesn’t just affect Europe. The content creators you love are going to be in hot water for sharing their art and writing with you online. Any and all content that doesn’t belong to us will be filtered. Even memes are at risk, as the person who took the original photo may want to file complaints against any platform that allows it to be used without permission. But it goes even further than that.
Last Tuesday (19th June 2018) a group of more than 70 people who have played important roles in building the internet and developing it (Tim Berners-Lee, Vincent Cerf, Jimmy Wales, Mitchell Baker…) into what it is today addressed an open letter to the members of the European Parliament:
“As creators ourselves, we share the concern that there should be a fair distribution of revenues from the online use of copyright works, that benefits creators, publishers, and platforms alike.
But Article 13 is not the right way to achieve this. By requiring Internet platforms to perform automatic filtering all of the content that their users upload, Article 13 takes an unprecedented step towards the transformation of the Internet from an open platform for sharing and innovation, into a tool for the automated surveillance and control of its users. […] The damage that this may do to the free and open Internet as we know it is hard to predict, but in our opinions could be substantial.”
Here is the original Article 13. It’s even scarier. / Link 2
Here is how to contact your MEPs.
Here is a full list of everything that will be affected.
Europe is facing a huge problem, and unlike with Net Neutrality, the world doesn’t seem to care.
