Writer. Disability advocate. Media disruptor

Things You Need To Know:

Hi! I'm Hannah, a writer and disability advocate from Sydney, Australia. I'm so glad you're here. It's wonderful to see you. Everyone is welcome on this blog except: racists/homophobes/transphobes/misogynists/ableists/xenophobes/bigots. Hate will not be tolerated. This is a safe space. My inbox is always open. I’m currently writing a book - it’s a memoir/personal essay collection about what it’s like to grow up disabled, what that does to your identity and what it’s like to navigate a world not built for a body like yours. But it’s also about pop culture and coming of age in a world that feels pretty upside down.

If you want to find me in other places on the internet, please come hang out on Instagram, Twitter or check out my website

I also do really important work as the Editor-In-Chief of a global publication platform called Missing Perspectives which aims to address the marginalisation of any and all who identify as women/girls across the world. We are always accepting submissions and we pay our writers!

I'm also the person behind a globally recognised campaign asking Disney to create a Disabled Disney Princess. You can sign the petition here

sorry people are talking about fleetwood mac drama again and I can feel the infodump energy so here are some great bits of information esp. w regards to Rumours (1977)

- The album isn’t as pessimistic as everyone says it is!! Dreams and Don’t Stop are pretty positive! Songbird isn’t melancholy so much as it is just kind of introspective! Gold Dust Woman has a determination to it that lifts it out of being just morose!

- Having said that though, You Make Lovin’ Fun is about Christine’s new boyfriend after she dumped John and he was the FLEETWOOD MAC LIGHTING GUY imagine having to play bass on a song about how cool your ex’s new dude is lmfao

- Are they gonna YES I’M GONNA MAKE THIS ABOUT THE EAGLES bc around this time was when Stevie Nicks started hanging out with Don Henley and his first year lit major ass was like “you shouldn’t put the emphasis on the second syllable of “washes” in the line “when the rain washes you clean you’ll know” and Stevie told him to fuck off and anyway Rumours won Album of the Year in 1977 so Hotel California whomst?

- The other hysterical thing is the fact that not long after Rumours Stevie and Don Henley dated and like… 70s Don Henley looked almost EXACTLY like Lindsay so like… imagine breaking up w ur gf and she starts dating ur doppelganger 

- The song Oh Daddy isn’t about Christine’s dad or partner or like anyone related to her in that way it’s about Mick Fleetwood bc the band calls him Big Daddy it’s like POV ur Mick Fleetwood’s wife

- Also like after this album but BEFORE the Don Henley era Stevie and MICK had an affair??? Like during the album tour??? and then Stevie was like oh  Mick omg ur married and Mick was like so true bestie and then left his wife and married Stevie’s best friend Sara like the messy bitch energy in this band is just neverending

- This isn’t relevant to rumours but their next album (Tusk) involved Lindsay doing all this weird experimental shit in the studio while everyone was just balls deep in drugs and like can you imagine being Dennis Wilson (whom Christine was dating at the time) showing up to see all that and just being like not this fucking shit again after the Smiley Smile fiasco w his brother Brian like god what a mess

the worst thing about writing or any kind of craft is having an idea you're really excited to make a reality but then you sit down and realize how much work it's going to take to get to that point and suddenly you feel like those two little gay guys in the mountain in the lord of the rings

do you remember how good it was in our head mr frodo

[trainthief]

I think one of the most important parts about film and tv analysis is never forgetting that no matter the genre or setting, the story is probably being filtered through the perspective of a person who lives in California

[trainthief]

Like if you’re watching a tv show and you’re starting to feel alienated by some of the motivations and worldviews the characters all seem to share, consider that you aren’t the weirdo, they are, because they’re being written by people who are at any given moment no more than five minutes removed from a kale smoothie

I just want taylor to publish a book of her notes and ideas and original lyrics for folklore and evermore 

[release-the-sheep]

thinking about fleetwood mac and how they actually sang songs about each other. and performed them. about how much they loved or hated each other like what the fuck how

I mean can you imagine. singing about how somebody broke your heart and they’re literally harmonizing. they’re right fucking there. they’re in touching distance. insanity! complete insanity! I would either break down crying or fully snap and break their neck

fucking. silver springs!!! ‘you’ll never get away from the sound of the woman that loves you!’ no fucking kidding he won’t stevie he’s literally behind you playing the drums! absolute madlads

harry’s team needs to opt out of platinum pricing and honestly verified fan as well. none of these methods prevent tickets from getting in the hands of scalpers, if anything it makes it easier for them because now ticketmaster themselves have become the scalpers. so you’re fighting for your life against a randomized system that decides whether or not you’re worthy of a code and even that code doesn’t guarantee you a ticket because two minutes into the sale the ticket prices have tripled for every single seat in the venue based on “demand”. concerts are supposed to be fun and exciting and buying tickets should not be this stressful and discouraging. give people a day and time and let them fight for themselves. take us back to 2011.

[snoopysfriendwoodstock]

genuinely when you log off and are only exposed to the lives of those around you as god intended you realize how much shit does not matter. i know this is not a hot take but we were not meant to hear every thought, feeling and opinion of people we will never see face to face. it’s so much easier to pile on people for harmless but annoying opinions when you will never have to spend extended time with them.

[wvterways]

this is so important

[notesonartistry]

It's a testament to just how transient/unstructured life is as an actor that 5 months is considered a real luxury to explore a character.

Thinking about the countless times art and music and cinema and literature have saved and comforted me during difficult times i really owe my happiness to everyone dedicated to their craft
