By the way it's like. Really fucked how society's thoughts on epilepsy is just "get over it." Seizures can cause permanent brain damage. Seizures can kill people. Seizures hurt like hell. Allow me to reiterate that seizures can kill people. And you're just gonna casually put flashing lights, a common trigger for seizures in your advertisement, in your animation meme, in your edit, on your billboards, without even thinking about putting a simple disclaimer? That's unbelievable. Your little anime edit could deadass cost a life and you're not gonna put a warning because it's "inconvenient" or "people like that shouldn't be on the internet" (ableist) (the problem exists outside the internet also). Or you'll give insufficient ones like putting it in the captions or only giving like one second before the flashing lights appear, meaning that the trigger's already in motion before anyone who needs the warning can read it and save themselves from literal physical danger.

We need to start commenting under other people's posts about how to properly warn for flashing lights and eyestrain. We need to be emailing and calling companies about their possibly triggering advertisements that could induce seizures. We need to stop tolerating ableism and start speaking up for the more vulnerable.

Also, stop putting epilepsy warnings. That's like saying "warning: schizophrenia" on a post including unreality or "warning: dyslexia" on a post with a typing quirk. First off, the disability mentioned isn't the only group of people that this could trigger. Second, it doesn't truly get the message across and instead makes it worse for those with the disability-- scrolling through the epilepsy tag on Tumblr should get you to view the content of other epileptic people, but no, you just get a bunch of flashing lights and eyestrain, even though you could instead tag for, oh I dunno, flashing lights and eyestrain.

Anyways this Disability Pride, and for every month that comes after, think about epileptic people and others who are triggered by flashing lights/eyestrain. Happy pride to those who experience seizures too frequently due to the unaccommodating and ableist societies we live in!

good morning to horror fans, fat bitches, people with psychosis, they/thems, people who can’t drive, trans women, witches, and single dads. the rest of you... you’re on your own

also not for nothing the region we refer to as Appalachia is fucking huge. I live in Northern Georgia which is a very very specific part of Appalachia. even when talking about "southern Appalachia" the landscape and the conditions where I live are often very different from the landscape and the conditions 50 miles away even. I really can't overstate how big Appalachia is. it's not... like, I think in a lot of ways when people talk about Appalachia like that they're telling themselves because they are using "Appalachia" to define a human cultural region, which is how you know that they are just being fucking classist xenophobes who are unfamiliar with any part of what is a huuuuuge fucking region of a huuuuuge fucking continent.

please this post does not address all of the issues with people being weird about appalachia like this because those are frankly infinite

[crematedequally]

Op yes thank you!!! Appalachia is not just a synonym for “the south”! It’s a huge branching area encompassing many cultures!!! This means so much to me because my mom’s family were Appalachian from both the central and southern New York region as well as the Ohioan region and they had more in common culturally than they ever expected.

amusing how many united states citizens think that immigrating to another country is as simple as like… wanting to live there and doing it or signing a paper with some processing fee and you’re all set, here’s a passport. it’s really difficult and it can take decades to immigrate to another country or get a firm no. i know people who have children together and they’re stuck in the immigration system. you think you’ll get to move to italy or denmark or whatever because your great great grandmother was born there? genuinely get the fuck outta here, don’t be silly
