The struggle. The uneven tear. The cat fucking stomping the chocolate getting it everywhere. This video has it all.
Coming through. (via harry_the_blue_staffy)
sigh. disabled people are allowed to have kids. i hate that this is debated
people, even other disabled ppl sometimes, always argue its cruel. “what if they end up like you? its cruel to do that to a child.”
our existence and the existence of any biological children disabled people have isnt a fucking tragedy. if our kids are disabled too, then thats literally fine. some of you think youre such hot disability advocates and then turn around and parrot eugenicist ideas and its so fucking frustrating to hear.
anyone can have a disabled child. ANYONE. abled people are fully capable of having disabled children, but theyre not told to avoid having kids, or coerced into/forcibly sterilized, or have their children taken even if theyre fully capable of caring for them. yet because a disabled person could pass on a disability, the idea that we could want biological children is suddenly “cruel?” is that the hill youre going to die on? fucking analyze why you think its a tragedy for a disabled child to exist. think about why you hate the idea of disabled people reproducing
abled ppl are encouraged to reblog bc a lot of you need to hear this but i dont wanna hear yr fucking thoughts on the matter i swear to god
also imo, a disabled parent is probably FAR more suited to raise a disabled child, especially if the child has the same disabilities as their parent(s), because disabled ppl fucking GET it. We know what its like, we know how to handle it, how to cope, we know what kids need because we know what we needed when we were also disabled children ourselves. An autistic parent is far more likely to be patient with their autistic child having meltdowns than an allistic parent is because we were ALSO once an autistic child learning how to cope with symptoms and avoid meltdowns. Like if anyone is going to parent a disabled child.. Disabled adults are far more likely to be up to task. Not to say abled adults inherently can’t, but it’ll be way more of an adjustment and a learning curve for them than it is for us. This is our lived experience, our expertise. So don’t you dare tell me some neurotypical person who couldn’t even recognize the signs of autism if they punched them in the face is more suited to parenthood of a potentially neurodivergent child than I am.
Me whenever I see a corporate ad trying to say “we’re all in this together”:
On w*ndigoag:
W*ndigoag/w*ndigo are sacred Algonquian spirits that have spread to other Anishinaabe cultures. They aren’t worshiped or whatever, they are feared.
They’re the physical embodiments of evil, the result of a person falling into the trap of greed and cruelty, usually in the form of cannibalism. Our fear not only stems from the spirits and the danger they pose to others, but also their implications and the constant reminder that anyone can become a monster if they allow themselves to.
They are not bipedal deer and I have no idea where that concept came from. Most traditional depictions show them as humanoid giants made of ice, usually with the body of the person they came from encased inside.
In some stories, they’re killed by people, usually via fire. In others, they can only be killed by luring them to a body of water and getting the attention of a water spirit to fight it.
There’s very, very few stories where the person can be saved. The transformation into a w*ndigo is not a reversible one, and the only real way to save someone from that existence is to free them with death.
We censor their names because, traditionally, we’re taught not to say them out loud in case we get the attention of one or summon one. This is especially important during winter or at night.
They are not benign spirits. They are not kind. They are not rational. They are evil and cruel, and their only desires center around killing and eating. They’re as rational and logical as a wild raccoon in the late stages of rabies.
You cannot work with them. They can’t be bound, and they definitely can’t be bought or sold. Do not trust any spirit who claims to be a w*ndigo and do not trust any spirit worker who tries to sell you one.
W*ndigoag are Algonquian and Anishinaabe spirits. Algonquian people are the authorities on them, other Anishinaabe people less so. Non-Anishinaabe Natives cannot say that appropriation of w*ndigoag is okay because that isn’t their culture and it’s definitely not their decision to make. You cannot give someone permission to use something that isn’t yours.
The use of w*ndigoag in non-Native media is appropriation. The only exception to this is in when the creators work with Algonquian people to make respectful and accurate depictions. You’ll be very hard pressed to find cases of this.
W*ndigoag are not cryptids because they are sacred spirits. Abrahamic angels are not cryptids. Japanese yokai are not cryptids. Vodou loa are not cryptids. Respect indigenous beliefs as legitimate spirituality instead of reducing our cultures down to bastardized stories.
If you aren’t Anishinaabe, you cannot be “wendigokin”. Appropriation of indigenous spirituality isn’t suddenly okay because your ~soul~ is an indigenous spirit. You are not entitled to our cultures or spiritual beliefs. Jfc.
“Wendigocore” is also bullshit, what the fuck is wrong with you all? Our sacred spirituality is not your ugly ass aesthetic.
(Left those uncensored because it’s a summer afternoon and I want people in those tags to see this. Fuck off.)
Anishinaabe people are not obligated to share our SACRED STORIES with outsiders in order for them to be respected. We don’t want you to make your depictions of w*ndigoag in your stories more accurate. We just want you to leave our cultures alone for once.
Now please stop sending me messages about w*ndigoag. I understand you all just want to learn but I am so fucking tired. I’ve answered these questions dozens of times and I need a break.
Don’t start discourse on this post. I am not in the mood for it.
If any Algonquian or other Anishinaabe people have corrections, hmu.
This, incidentally, is why I said “-core” posts have lost any legitimacy on this site.
You kids cannot handle other people’s beliefs delicately.

DID the fish on the left just use the "pocket sand" trick?!
i want to be a cat. jobless. educationless. useless. there to be pretty and soft
things that exist but you can’t see:
people thinking about you and smiling
flowers growing in your heart
the moon’s affection for you
how much you’ve healed already
a lovely future written in the stars
I’m sorry what’s that second thing again
Pray for my cat. Nothing wrong with her she's just dumb.
Artists who know how to draw armors or very detailed clothing are powerful
oh to draw embroidery like Alexander Roslin does
See it’s stuff like this that makes me believe that selling your soul to the devil in exchange for talent was a real career track in the 1700s.
