people call on the ‘science side of tumblr’ because generally scientists are eager lil nerds willing to help others
people don’t call on the history side of tumblr because all historians are - without fail - sarcastic angry assholes looking to start a fight
You can call on Ben Franklin for both though.

its so important to have disabled presence in children’s media, disabled kids grow up with really harmful messages about being burdens, ugly and unwanted and that needs to be challenged, we need to be showing disabled kids that they’re valued and amazing
like I remember a few years ago here in the UK, there was a disabled woman, Cerrie Burnell, who’s right arm ends a little past her elbow, who did some presenting on kids tv and parents wrote in and complained about her and said she was scary for children and shouldn’t be there because she was disabled
children are seen as being needed to be sheltered from the ~terrifying~ and ~horrifying~ reality of disabled people and that really hurts disabled kids and also massively contributes to adults hating and fearing disabled people since that’s what they were taught to do as kids
whether it’s disabled presenters or disabled characters, children’s media has to do more to acknowledge and celebrate disabled people
More disabled characters in media, especially media for children is so, so important. Not just fictional characters (though those are important too) but also real people like that woman who hosted a children’s show, or you could do bios about people with disabilities, and so on, so many needed possibilities. This media needs to serve both the needs of disabled kids to see themselves represented in the media and know they’re okay and awesome, and also the need for nondisabled kids to unlearn stereotypes they have been taught by others. And it needs to be either developed by people with disabilities or else in close consultation with them.

The wildest thing about this country, is not only is our “democracy” an illusion, it’s not even a very good one. Like, I’ve brought up repeatedly that the popular vote accomplishes jack shit when voting for President and that it’s the Electoral College that decides it, and without fail I’ve heard something along the line of “it’s to stop the tyranny of the majority”, but if our vote is effectively meaningless, then what’s the point? To feel good? A placebo effect of feeling that we’ve done something to change the world? In 24 states in America (so, just barely under half) the Electoral College can vote for whoever they want /regardless/ of votes. So you get things like what happened in 2004 in Missouri, where an electorate voted for “John Ewards” for president, which was almost the name of John Edwards, John Kerry’s runningmate. In 1912, Socialist Party Presidential Candidate Eugene V. Debs got 901,551 votes, or exactly 6 percent of the vote. So he should get six percent of the electorate right? After all this is a “democracy”? Wrong. He got exactly 0 electorates, which, if my math is correct (granted it’s not my best subject) that’s significantly less than 6 percent of the electorate.
the whole thing about tyranny of the majority really pisses me off because like, if the majority aren’t going to decide it who tf is??? politicians? the electoral college? how is that seen as something better
Like I don’t even understand the concept, like, theoretically, the majority is supposed to decide, like, that’s how voting works?? Like, what even is it supposed to mean??
Tyranny of the majority makes sense in the context of like white supremacy for example where one racial group uses its majority to disenfranchise other races. But yes democracy in the US is an illusion and the electoral college does nothing to prevent that
