My own private Gondolin

I am a Noldo, a Targaryen, a Cylon, a Timelord, and an android who dreams of electric sheep. "The world is made by someone, to tolerate is a political act." "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die." Current obsession: jellyfish

The filmmakers stated that ICE threatened to subpoena raw footage and “threatened legal action” if scenes that negatively portrayed their policies and actions were not removed. 

The pair went as far as to start using encrypted messenger services, installing cameras in their office and moving the raw footage to a secure location to thwart what they believed was very aggressive rhetoric by ICE through the negotiations around the finished film.

"please remove 'high functioning' from your vocabulary, the term you are looking for is 'well masking' and we are 14x more likely to die by suicide with an average life expectancy of 36-52 years old. Doesn't sound very high functioning now, does it?"

If learning a new skill is meditative for you, or helpful with how you process your emotions, or a healthy distraction, or something to focus on to help you cope or whatever, that’s fantastic! But steer clear of blanketing statements that make people feel futile and useless. Everyone is dealing with their powerlessness and lack of control over the global situation in their own way and putting others down and shaming them is decidedly unhelpful.

I just want to say though,

For all of you stuck in quarantine, and are having a hard time with it.

Promise you will never tell a disabled person “at least you don’t have to work” “I wish I could stay home at sit on my ass all day” or “your just dolebludgers that sit at home being lazy” ever again, when disabled people say they have to stay home and rest.

Being housebound SUCKS!

Sure, work also sucks but at least you get to socialize, do different things, and feel productive. (And you’re likely not SICK. Unless your in the US because WTF???)

I waste away at home almost constantly. I’ve seen every movie I own at least 20 times. The novelty wears off REALLY QUICKLY when your alone. The bordem and isolation, they send you batshit crazy. It’s awful. Plus, again, I’m incredibly sick. (I know some of you are too, but many are not.)

But yeah, this is why it’s so ableist to treat disabled people who have to stay at home like they’re somehow “lucky, entitled and lazy”. We don’t enjoy it. It’s really hard. Please be more mindful.

We were in “quarantine” before the pandemic, we’ll be in it after the pandemic. We’ll have to watch you all get on with your lives when its over, while we are still stuck at home.

Remember what this feels like, and remember that some live like this every day.

(Not saying all of you are like this, but if you are, please learn from this moment. Disabled (including mentally ill, chronically ill, and permanently injured) aren’t getting anything extra by being forced to stay home and take care of themselves. It’s very difficult.)
