what do you mean there is one tube that becomes 2 and its made out of only 2 pieces of fabric but somehow 3d??

what is that shape? a pant shape? how else do you call the pant shape?

why the fabric tubes legs humans?? tell me why. (rhetorical)

#i do not understand #pants #okay i will leave now #adieu

hey just so you know I will probably be deleting my tumblr account soon, not because I don't like any of you lovely mutuals, but because social media causes a lot of stress for me and I would like to alleviate that. it was nice knowing this hellsite.

Honestly I think the fact that people tell me and my best friend that we act like a couple isn't reflective of what our relationship is like or how we show affection. I think it just shows just how narrow their view is on love. If they really can't imagine two people being genuinely close friends with no feelings of romance whatsoever then they gotta have some kind of brainworm. We're not secretly in love. We're just capable of showing affection and letting eachother know we care about eachother without coating it in irony

nuuuuuuu! My dreams, evaporated and condensed!

The way that we learn about Helen Keller in school is an absolute outrage. We read “The Miracle Worker”- the miracle worker referring to her teacher; she’s not even the title character in her own story. The narrative about disabled people that we are comfortable with follows this format- “overcoming” disability. Disabled people as children. Helen Keller as an adult, though? She was a radical socialist, a fierce disability advocate, and a suffragette. There’s no reason she should not be considered a feminist icon, btw, and the fact that she isn’t is pure ableism- while other white feminists of that time were blatent racists, she was speaking out against Woodrew Wilson because of his vehement racism. She supported woman’s suffrage and birth control. She was an anti-war speaker. She was an initial donor to the NAACP. She spoke out about the causes of blindness- often disease caused by poverty and poor working conditions. She was so brave and outspoken that the FBI had a file on her because of all the trouble she caused.

Yet when we talk about her, it’s either the boring, inspiration porn story of her as a child and her heroic teacher, or as the punchline of ableist, misogynistic jokes. It’s not just offensive, it’s downright disgusting.

the reason the story stops once hellen keller learns to talk is no one wanted to listen to what she had to say

how’s that for a fucking punchline

Another part of the story that is often conveniently omitted is that Anne Sullivan, the “miracle worker” in question, was also a visually impaired woman (and abolitionist) who faced her own struggles finding accessible education. That was why she was able to teach Helen Keller and connect her with resources that would allow her to flourish in academia. When Helen Keller was railing against poverty-induced diseases that caused blindness, she was talking about things like trachoma which was what had caused her friend’s vision loss.

The fact that Sullivan is often portrayed as able-bodied in retellings of their story is indicative of the narrative that is most comfortable for an ableist society: that accessibility and equality are gifts bestowed upon the disabled by able-bodied heroes. Disabled children are never taught that they have the power to lift each other up, and that’s a crying shame.

👀👀 not gonna name names but SOME of u are sweet and kind and deserve the world and i am rooting for u

yet another embarrassing encounter has resulted from my lack of knowledge relating to popular culture:

I walked up to my friend at summer camp, noticing that they had a bracelet with the word "penndragon" on it.

Penndragon as in Arthur Penndragon, the king of Camelot, right?

I complemented them on their bracelet, thinking that here was another person who, like me, understood slightly obscure references from legends.

They responded with "Oh thank you!" and showed me their necklace—a pixelated character presumably from a video game.

I was unsure how to respond to this seemingly unrelated gesture, and it was only until later that it occurred to me that some video game creator had probably named a character Penndragon, and the bracelet and necklace my friend had were references to the game, not mythology.
