The other night husband and I were watching a documentary about the yeti where they were doing DNA analysis of samples of supposed yeti fur, and every one of them came back as bears.
Anyway, the next night we watched a thing about some pig man who is supposed to live in Vermont. People said it had claws and a pig nose but walked upright like a man. Now, I happen to know that sideshows used to shave bears and present them as pig men. So every piece of evidence they gave of this monster sounds to me like a bear with mange.
So now the running joke in our house is that everything is bears. Aliens? Bears. Loch Ness monster? Bear. Every cryptozoological mystery is just a very crafty bear.
Bears. They’re everywhere. Be wary. Anyone or anything could be a bear.
oh shit
As the OP of this post, I’m going to threaten that if this gets to one million notes by the 10 year anniversary on 1 June 2026, one year from today, I will get a lower back tattoo of the loch ness bear monster.
Y'all know what to do Tumblr.

just wanted to share the National Down Syndrome Society’s message for this year’s World Down Syndrome Day (21st March) 💛💙
Powerful message that lovingly includes multiple disabilities, united. I love this.
nonverbal / nonspeaking ppl, what you sound like inside head (internal voice)? like when talk to self inside head
[nonverbal nonspeaking as in full time experience not episode or “go __”]
POLL! nonverbal nonspeaking people: what your internal voice sound like?
someone you know/knew personally in real life
real life celebrity or podcaster or audiobook reader you not know personally
fictional character
what imagine self sound like base on own non-words sounds (grunts & noises & etc
what self sound like before become full time nonverbal nonspeaking later in life
voice of your speech generating AAC
made it up
mix of these
idk - have internal voice but not sure what it Sound Like
think in pictures only / not have voiced internal voice
others (tell me?)
try include as much option as can think of but am sure missed some… feel free tell me / elaborate in comments / reblog / tags >:)
@riverofelementals Would you rather have irises that change color with your emotions, or fingernails that reflect the real emotions of whoever you're talking to?
Fingernails that reflect the real emotions
Self terrible at read people lmao
Ooo that would be cool. But you'd better prepare to know.
Would you rather be put on a pedestal or treated as lesser?
Well already get treat as lesser by pretty much everyone ever (very visible disable and nonverbal) so in short term would rather be put on pedestal because could see what that like but not know for long term because both bad lol
Heh, neither sound fun.
Would you rather not need to breathe, or not beed to eat or drink?
NOT NEED TO EAT HOLY SHIT WOULD RATHER NOT NEED TO EAT HOLY SHIT
(have ARFID and very frequent think about how much more could enjoy life if not need figure out food so often)
Food is soo annoying! I understand why the elves made Lembas bread more and more every day.
What's a word that someone has said in a way that makes you hate it? (Not cuss words/slurs.)
... This one of those question where ask it and then sudden nobody have ever say any word to self ever ...
Uhhhhh
Lot of therapy word have be twist to all fuck by public until not meaningful helpful anymore
Also lot of disability in general (not just therapy/mental relate) word that people take use for other thing (often less severe thing then what initial refer to) and make hard for person who actual have the thing it initial refer to to use
Know there some word that just uh
Think people say "give the ick" ? Make feel gross or bad or etc That not actual have anything to do with the word but with how person in past use it etc? But not can remember any right now rip
That makes sense to me! I agree with that, and 'the ick' is really annoying to hear.
Would you rather live in the mountains, or the woods? Assuming both are made well accessible.
Hmmmmmmmmmm
Both beautiful probably
The mountain probably have better sunrise sunset that visible but also probably have more cold problem snow etc?
But the forest probably have more creature???
Honestly self not really know much about the quirk of live in either place to really answer good
Probably the wood because scare of avalanche? Maybe there a cool stream or something
(not have ever hear of a wood without a stream or something water but maybe exist but would prefer a wood with a stream)
They both sound awesome to me! Maybe there's a bridge, and a ramp into the water, too. A mountain is probably colder, though!
Would you rather be able to shapeshift into only things that already exist, or into anything conceivable but have to consciously worry about the anatomy?
Okay
Define "already exist" do this count like. Stuff that exist in art form etc where someone have already come up with all the detail but like it not technically true form in real life? Like if someone have make a draw of dragon do that count as exist? Or if there dragon in a TV series would be able shift to dragon like that dragon?
And what the consequence if mess up the anatomy? How much can self control this process? Do self need understand every last chemical process down to the most small process in a each individual cell? Or can self come up with a general idea of like "these organ do this specific thing and locate this part of body"? If mess up what happen? Do instant die or do get kick back to regular body?
"Already exists" means an extant species that is currently alive on Earth. Not just in fiction.
You don't have to understand down to every cell, just basic organ systems and where they'd go. Especially musculoskeletal, nervous, cardiovascular, and respiratory system. The rest you can temporarily do without. Temporarily.
If you mess it up, you can turn back. But if you don't turn back and you've messed it up badly enough you'll just die.
Oh absolutely the anatomy one then
Could spend time talk to people who know more then self about how anatomy of xyz would realistic work if that thing exist (know there already discussion about many myth creature and could look these up) and take note on it and then just keep the note with self when shift and would probably do multiple time for that same species so would eventually just become second nature probably also would be able do basic anatomy and then future time add another thing or change something so make better etc
And could also do current live species with that one so still get to be hognose snake lmao

i will never be against piracy ever but i also need physical media to remain
the average blockbuster carried about 3x as many films than that that are streaming on Netflix or any other streaming service, physical media along with piracy is more important than ever.
I thought this wasn’t true, because how could it be true? How could one small store have more movies than an online database? So I googled it.
I am surprised and depressed to learn it’s 100% true, according to google. A Blockbuster store was required to have a minimum of 7000 titles, but most averaged about 10,000. Netflix has 4000 movies. (And 1800 tv shows if you want to count those, but even included, it’s still less)
Now I’m even more depressed about the collapse of physical rental stores.
BONUS: They weren't beholden to Who Owns What IP Right Now. They got videos from everyone. You didn't have to pay separately for the rights to rent from the Disney Shelves and the WB Shelves and bler bler bler, and they only STOPPED having those movies when the tapes broke or someone never returned 'em.
friendly reminder that your local library will have lots of physical media and if they don't have what you're looking for you can most likely ask them to purchase it or order it from another library through interlibrary loan
Shoutout to Scarecrow Video- they have over 148,000 titles, most of which you can rent by mail. Rentals have been down in the last few years so they're asking for support!
boosting this for Scarecrow Video. It's also now a non-profit.

idk if this something other high support needs or severely disabled young ppl (n maybe older ones too?) do too
find self want things not because actual want them. but because can’t do them
want something that you know not your thing. not like. not enjoy. you for sure know will hate even.
that if you not severely disabled high support needs trapped in not have enough support n autonomy. you know would prob run so far away from n absolute not interest in try
but you are n you want it very very badly because
you can’t. you can’t do it can’t have it. because inherent disability or because environment or because circumstances
you too disabled for it. or because not have enough support to do it. or not allow do it by family by caregiver by carer by institution by legal system.
like
one example am talk abt lot is how. very want go night club or bar or whatever, get drink, n get talk to by strangers, n whatever after.
bc if u know me this be biggest “haha what the fuck,” if be fictional character this be biggest out of character thing would be call terrible writing terrible plot. because lots of people crowd, strangers, loud, overstimulating lights, LOUD, social, uncertainty, danger, go against drills of stranger danger, everything abt it be everything that hate.
but want it so incredibly bad because
because it what your most stereotypical “out there” young adult thing people my age do or can do that can think of, age of explore n know self n become more independent more on own more own person more have own say. n my god want be that so bad instead of. still live with (not-understanding) parents n prob will continue to be who need be supervise by someone when out who miss out on all same age milestones
because can’t have it—bc will never be allow there be taken there by parents will never feel comfortable be there with parents
n for foreseeable future that won’t change. maybe for rest of life will never get it. will never get full support n autonomy. will never get be. me.
there not end to it.

Some rando: You should think about stopping your prescription
Me: My pills make me not want to die tho
They: You shouldn’t want to die, that’s not normal
Me: Yeah that’s why I’m taking my pills
Again: But you aren’t the *real* you when you’re on your pills
Me: I’m the alive version of me
An actual doctor, once: “Relying On A Chemical Crutch For A Hormonal Imbalance Denies The Fortitude Of The Human Soul”
Me: Cool so like I’m agnostic
They: “But you might be on pills the rest of your life!”
Me: “So?”
Good! That means that I have a “rest of” my life to continue living!
Thanks to the pills.
Meanwhile, no person ever: “You should think about giving up your insulin/antiretrovirals/beta blockers/anti-rejection drugs/prosthetic legs/daily multivitamin, because using those your whole life is bad for some reason”
Oh no, they do that too.
I have a kidney transplant. A woman once told me she didn’t believe in organ transplants and that people should just die when they’re meant to.
Sounds like a great set-up for a murder
People who are fully healthy, fit and neurotypical seem to think they are that way because they’re doing something right that the rest of us haven’t thought of, and not just because they got lucky
Speaking of the luck of the non-disabled…I once terrorized a Karen who was using me to teach her entitled kid that disabled people are Other and should not be treated with respect. I told her (truthfully) that until I was twenty-eight, I wasn’t visibly disabled. Then a defective chromosome that I hadn’t known about kicked in. So my luck ran out. But until then, I had been normal–just…like…her.
The sheer terror on her face as the concept of “You mean I’ve just been lucky so far?” seeped into her brain was a thing of beauty.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
“You are one stroke of bad luck, common viral illness, or traumatic event away from being just like me” is honestly the most terrifying thing you can tell an abled person - and you should. I was healthy and fit and doing everything ‘right’ too - right up until some inner switch flipped and my body crumbled right out from under me.
