“The ‘pessimists’ are really not very different from the optimists. They live just as comfortably and are just as little engaged. The fate of humanity is as little their concern as it is the optimists’. They do not feel despair; if they did, they would not, and could not, live as contentedly as they do. And while their pessimism functions largely to protect the pessimists from any inner demand to do something, by projecting the idea that nothing can be done, the optimists defend themselves against the same inner demand by persuading themselves that everything is moving in the right direction anyway, so nothing needs to be done.”

— Erich Fromm, The Anatomy of Human Destructiveness, 484-485

this might be a hard pill to swallow for college students but getting drunk all the time isnt a personality trait it’s alcoholism

Here’s another pill: companies and ad teams know that your 20s are extremely stressful and they purposely target you because they don’t care about making us all alcoholics as much as they care about profiting off of us.

cooler pill that I’d wish I’d known about when I was younger: if you’re struggling with alcohol, AA isn’t your only option. AA can be a bit dogmatic and sometimes hostile to certain communities, especially the LGBT.

there’s a group called SMART Recovery that has free meetings just like AA, but it’s all science-based and secular.

and here’s the thing for college students: unlike with AA, it’s okay if your goal is moderation and not abstinence. no one is going to make you feel like a bad guy for being young and just wanting help getting healthier, but perhaps not wanting to commit to being totally abstinent. google SMART Recovery, guys. they’re awesome. :)

My usual retort to people who don’t want “universal healthcare/education/basic income/etc.” under the pretense that “the rich shouldn’t have access to it” is that it’s cheaper to just give it to everyone no-question-asked than to try and judge every single case just to exclude a tiny minority of them.

But this tweet thread? This right there? That’s a damn powerful argument. Something that can actually convince people emotionally, more than my cynical, it’s-cheaper-that-way, pragmatic approach.

I’ll keep it, and I’ll re-use it, because it’s with thread like this that you change the world, one opinion at a time.

That's because pea flower tea works naturally as a ph indicator! It will turn magenta when mixed with acid (lemon juice) but will turn cyan green when mixed with something alkaline (baking powder, bleach etc.)

Glasses are the most common disability aid in America.

And some people may say, ‘you would look better without them, have you considered contacts/corrective surgery’, but no one acts like it’s a big deal if you need them, or need some special accommodations because of the condition you need them for, or if you only wear them part time. No one looks at a person wearing glasses and thinks or says ‘that person has both eyes, why would they need glasses?’. No one says a child or young adult with glasses is ‘too young’ to have that problem. No one looks at a person in glasses and assumes they have them because they are fat, or lazy, or trying to trick people into some imagined advantage. Poor or irregular eyesight is a disability that has been normalized to the point that no one thinks of it as a disability any more. Glasses quickly become just a part of the face of the person who wears them, and are solid proof that it isn’t hard for the people of this country to accept and to think of–to acknowledge–that a disability aid, whether part time or full time, is simply an extension of the disabled person who requires it to ease their interactions with the world.

SO IT WOULD BE SUPERB IF PEOPLE COULD STOP BEING SUCH ABSOLUTE FUCK-CLOWNS ABOUT WHEELCHAIR USERS.

Except I actually did and do face a lot of ableism for my glasses prescription (which is pretty high- I’m one bad eye development away from being legally blind really).

I get what you’re trying to say OP but all you’re really doing is pitting two disabilities against each other again.

People don’t consider wearing glasses as a disability unless you meet the legally blind requirement, which means eveyone else is left with no support.

I’ve been barred from entering or even participating in reenacting groups for needing to wear glasses, they claim my disability takes away from their reenactment.

People have really pressured me to not wear glasses, and it sucks. I have a lot of pride in wearing my glasses but glasses wearers don’t have the same kind of community the HOH community does so we’re largely isolated, those of us who are proud of our disability.

I’ve had so many people, since I was very very young (I got glasses at like, 5 years old) tell me I’m too young to wear glasses. Or that I’m faking. Or that it doesn’t count as a real disability. I’ve had people touch my glasses and try and force them off my face, removing my sight because ‘they thought I’d look better without them’. That’s akin to people touching other peoples mobility aids without asking. People have literally blinded me because they wanted to wear my glasses to see what they look like. It ain’t funny.

Frankly, I’m kinda pissed you’d make these comparisons because people with all kinds of disabilities should be working together, not using each other to explain away ableism.
