I know I've said it before but every rewatch I do cements this thought further - elijah wood's performance in LOTR is absolutely insane, they really had a character whose name means "wise by experience", hired an 18-year-old to do it, and he delivered so much that not only is it a beautiful and moving role on its own, it's a performance equal to those of the absolute powerhouses he played side by side with like ian holm and ian mckellen. to name just a few

apparently it's not common knowledge that he was 18 at the time (insert that xkcd comic, you know which) but. yeah

"let's task this teenager with the monster assignment of portraying trauma of war in a quiet and subtle way. what can go wrong" and then somehow nothing did. because he killed the role

[ID: Image is a post and reply, both by Ro Salarian @rosalarian.bsky.social, no time/date info, white text on a black background. Text reads: “There are gonna be disabled folks who can't contribute anything to The Cause. They have no money, no energy, no physical ability, no time. They will need to receive and will never be able to give back. You gotta save them, too. Especially them. Please don't leave disabled people behind in your revolution. Please do not see us as sacrifices for the greater good, or dead weight. Please see our lives as worth saving, too.” /End ID]

Someone asked this in a workshop I participated in recently. How could they contribute equitably to The Cause when they're disabled? They didn't want to only take and never be able to give back, they wanted to also be there for others.

And someone said (paraphrased) "We all want to make a world where everyone is loved and supported and has their needs met regardless of their "value" or "productivity." When you ask for help, you are allowing us to create a world where disabled people are taken care of. You have already repaid us, because we love you, and we are happier living in a world where the people we love are cared for."

This, 100%. Loud concerts? Loud sound at the cinema? All great. Two different hushed conversations in the same room? Actual hell.

Sorry for infodumping about my special interest out of nowhere, you said a keyword and it activated my unskippable dialogue

When you're watching something and a character really comes across to you as autistic

[assiraphales]

craziest thing is some modern “christians” would take one look at a working class middle eastern man who fed the homeless, believed you should use your wealth to help others, & advocated for compassion and crucify him a second time for being too “woke”

This is why I get so tired about “whose a real women” and “are transgender people real” and the like because it’s so irrelevant. We have group or people that have an insane suicide rate and we have a solution that reduces that by an insane amount.

No matter how you slice it no theoretical reason nor gender rhetoric can change the gender affirming care is improving more lives than it’ll ever hurt

[aster-is-confused]

i think this belongs here too

all the statistics are massively in favor of gender affirming care no matter how you slice it.
