the “sexy lamp test” but for disabled folks: if you can replace your disabled character with a beloved pet dog that needs an expensive surgery to survive then you have to throw out your manuscript

If you're comfortable accusing anyone of faking disability, you're not a real ally to disabled people

One time when I was a kid a group of girls and I had to treat another student for hypothermia by ourselves because she had so many invisible health issues that the adults we asked for help didn't believe us. The student in question was actively hallucinating. When I finally ran for help the people I grabbed were slow as shit to respond, casually joking about how "dramatic" the person in question was.

The kid was picked up by an ambulance 30 minutes later.

Now as an adult working in security I get SO MANY folks- upper-middle aged mostly- coming to me to 'rat out' people they think are faking it.

I was once sent into a bathroom because a client demanded that the "fucker won't get out, so good drag them out"- I was NEVER going to do that, so I did a wellness check instead. You know who it was? A person recently released from the hospital after a car accident. They had a hole in their skull and major hearing loss. They couldn't answer the owner because they couldn't HEAR the owner.

Another time about a homeless man who got around town by kicking the ground from his wheelchair. "You know he doesn't actually need that thing, his legs work fine, it's just for pity points"- Oh, so he's not paralyzed, his wheelchair is performative? Funny story Dale, I actually know that guy, he was backed over by a truck and has chronic pain from his shattered pelvis. But sure, let's make him stand up and walk everywhere so nobody feels too bad for him and tries to help him or something.

"She doesn't need that scooter, I've seen her get out of it."

"Look how fat he is, because he just rides around and refuses to get up."

"She doesn't really need that cane- she comes here without it all the time"

Sincerely, truly, from the bottom of my heart- as someone who isn't physically disabled but hears this shit all the time- fuck off

You know how some grandparents are called Meemaw and Peepaw? I was thinking of non-binary alternatives and came up with Neenaw for a loud nonbinary grandparent, and Seesaw for a gender-fluid grandparents.

Okay I like seesaw

Every time the study of an animal/plant/fungi's life cycle and reproduction is called wasteful or stupid, please remember that a lot of antiparasitic medicine works based on those studies. Dewormers/cat-dog-ungulate treatments against internal parasites destroy the parasite's eggs/ability to reproduce and that's 60% of it's effectiveness. Killing the parasite is not enough if it already reproduced before it died and its offspring will be able to reproduce before they die.

Yeah maybe the study of one beetle's sex life will not solve world piece but it might as well fucking protect our crops and studying those stupid flies kept the screwworms away from the livestock...

the thing I love most about how tumblr users use tags is that it’s like what if a social media website had a footnotes system

[johannestevans]

Always really funny when you're sat up with the cat in your lap and you start making motions toward getting up, and the cat is Aware but is pretending Not to be Aware and also not making eye contact with you in the hopes that you will in fact NOT get up, bc the cat is comfortable

I'm so glad the process of domestication involves a lot of co-evolution of certain social signals bc. Its really fucking funny

Like i don't need my cat to be able to speak english. The fact that she is avoiding eye contact and feigning a lack of knowledge of my behaviours is way funnier

we do have to contend with the fact that the reason there is this like perpetual conflation funnel that turns aave and other black dialects into 'gen z slang' and memes and the reason non black performers keep putting on blaccents and the reason pictures of black people just existing gets turned into memes is the same and its because its all minstrelsy.
