So whenever my hearing aids run out of battery, a deep-ass man’s voice goes off right next to my ear drum yelling “B A T T E R Y”, and, every time, without fail, giving me a minor heart attack.

And since my hearing aids aren’t synched for when I replace the battery, the left hearing aid will go off one afternoon, and I’ll know that the right one will go off the following night.

Yesterday afternoon, I replaced my left hearing aid battery.

Now it is tomorrow night. Now I sit, and I wait, for that monotone-ass motherfucker in my head to yell “BATTERY” in my ear, again leading to my gradual heart failure. It is only so long before my heart cannot take this repeated occurrence of panic.

I sit.

I wait.

He is coming.

I'm not gonna come on here anymore. It's for personal reasons and I want to make a fresh start. I'll make a new account of course but... I don't know. It's painful right now to be on here. But I will not provide a link so please send a ask or whatever.

I had changed so much.

Everything had changed.

But followers and friends, thanks for sticking with me no matter what.

Thank you.

The way that we learn about Helen Keller in school is an absolute outrage. We read “The Miracle Worker”- the miracle worker referring to her teacher; she’s not even the title character in her own story. The narrative about disabled people that we are comfortable with follows this format- “overcoming” disability. Disabled people as children. Helen Keller as an adult, though? She was a radical socialist, a fierce disability advocate, and a suffragette. There’s no reason she should not be considered a feminist icon, btw, and the fact that she isn’t is pure ableism- while other white feminists of that time were blatent racists, she was speaking out against Woodrew Wilson because of his vehement racism. She supported woman’s suffrage and birth control. She was an anti-war speaker. She was an initial donor to the NAACP. She spoke out about the causes of blindness- often disease caused by poverty and poor working conditions. She was so brave and outspoken that the FBI had a file on her because of all the trouble she caused.

Yet when we talk about her, it’s either the boring, inspiration porn story of her as a child and her heroic teacher, or as the punchline of ableist, misogynistic jokes. It’s not just offensive, it’s downright disgusting.

the reason the story stops once hellen keller learns to talk is no one wanted to listen to what she had to say

how’s that for a fucking punchline

It’s not that I disagree that we should all be aware of what a badass Helen Keller became, because she had a long and amazing career as an activist and yes, a feminist hero. It’s that somehow when people talk about the ableism of the way Helen’s story is told they always seem to forget this: Anne Sullivan, her teacher, was blind. Seriously. From Wikipedia:

"When she was only five years old she contracted a bacterial eye disease known as trachoma, which created painful infections and over time made her nearly blind.[2] When she was eight, her mother passed away and her father abandoned the children two years later for fear he could not raise them on his own.[2] She and her younger brother, James ("Jimmie"), were sent to an overcrowded almshouse in Tewksbury, Massachusetts (today part of Tewksbury Hospital). He, who suffered a debilitating hip ailment, died three months into their stay. She remained at the Tewksbury house for four years after his death, where she had eye operations that offered some short-term relief for her eye pain but ultimately proved ineffective.[3]"

Eventually some operations did restore part of her eyesight, but by the end of her life she was entirely blind. Also:

"Due to Anne losing her sight at such a young age she had no skills in reading, writing, or sewing and the only work she could find was as a housemaid; however, this position was unsuccessful.[2] Another blind resident staying at the Tewksbury almshouse told her of schools for the blind. During an 1880 inspection of the almshouse, she convinced an inspector to allow her to leave and enroll in the Perkins School for the Blind in Boston, where she began her studies on October 7, 1880.[2] Although her rough manners made her first years at Perkins humiliating for her, she managed to connect with a few teachers and made progress with her learning.[2] While there, she befriended and learned the manual alphabet from Laura Bridgman, a graduate of Perkins and the first blind and deaf person to be educated there."

So Anne Sullivan, disabled and born into serious poverty, learns the manual alphabet from a deaf and blind friend; passes that alphabet on to her deaf and blind student. This isn’t the story of an abled-bodied teacher swooping in to ‘save’ a disabled child; it’s a series of disabled women helping each other. Helen Keller’s story is the story not of one badass disabled woman, but of two. Anne and Helen were lifelong friends; Anne died holding Helen’s hand. 

Also is there a book called “The Miracle Worker”? I thought that was the movie/movies based on “The Story of My Life” by Helen Keller. But I could be wrong. And I didn’t learn any of this in school in general but that’s neither here nor there. 

I can recommend the ‘62 version of “The Miracle Worker” with Anne Bancroft and Patty Duke. It’s blatant about Sullivan’s impoverished background and eye problems - her rage on Helen’s behalf isn’t abstract at all, it’s very, very personal. And that’s the most amazing thing about this movie: Anne and Helen are the angriest people on earth. I have no idea if that was erased from the remakes but in the original they are both allowed to have a ton of anger about what has been done to them and what they have been denied. 

Anyway, I’ve rambled enough. Here’s a picture of Helen Keller meeting Charlie Chaplin:

omfg I am so mad right now because not only did the kids biography of Helen Keller I read when I was younger erase all her activism, but it very explicitly completely erased anything about Anne being blind herself.

There were scenes of her WATCHING Helen from across the room or yard, and it was all very “oh my, I just MUST save this poor little disabled girl, no other deaf blind person has EVER BEEN EDUCATED and basically it was awful and shitty.

[iamshadow21]

I think everyone should read Helen and Teacher. It’s an absolute brick of a book, hundreds of pages, but it is wonderful. It’s about their whole lives, right up to Helen’s death in old age. It talks about Helen’s feminism, socialism, and campaigning for everything from equal rights to sexual health. Helen Keller was not a syrupy, greeting card girl who existed to make able people feel warm and fuzzy, she was a tireless academic, political activist and writer. She was making noise about the issues she cared about from the moment her partnership with Annie Sullivan began, and she never stopped.

PLEASE READ. WILL NOT HURT TO AND FORWARD. Kids are putting Drano, tin foil, and a little water in plastic drink bottles and capping it up - leaving it on lawns, in mail boxes, in gardens, on driveways etc. just waiting for you to pick it up intending to put it in the rubbish, but you’ll never make it!!!

If the bottle is picked up, and the bottle is shaken even just a little - in about 30 seconds or less it builds up enough gas which then explodes with enough force to remove some your extremities. The liquid that comes out is boiling hot as well. Don’t pick up any plastic bottles that may be lying in your yards or in the gutter, etc. Pay attention to this. A plastic bottle with a cap. A little Drano. A little water. A small piece of foil. Disturb it by moving it; and BOOM!! No fingers left and other serious effects to your face, eyes, etc. Please ensure that everyone that may not have email access are also informed of this. 

Snopes confirms.

[geometricdeathtrap-deactivated2]

I’ve dealt with these before. If you find one:

Do not touch it

Do not touch it

Clear the area around it. It will explode on its own in time.

Once it explodes, do not make contact with the liquid inside. If needed, flush it away with large amounts of water.

Do not try to detonate it. You’ll probably be disfigured.

I’ve seen what these can do. The acidic liquid inside can strip the paint off a car.

when i visited vancouver these were everywhere. it’s not a fucking joke they’re actually scary

[zzazu]

Just a reminder that there are awful shitty people out there doing awful shitty things to everyone else

[pastel-wendigo]

there was a bunch of these at disneyland

[xakariahthepariah-deactivated20]

i found one in my back yard, when i let my dogs out, i pulled them back inside, took my cousins bb shotgun and shot it from a safe distance (i was in my house and shot from the screen door. When it went off, my family and neighbors came running to see if everything was ok. I told them what happened and to watch out for them. 

These things are not a joke! When we went to check the damage there was a fucking hole in the ground. The dirt in my yard is like CLAY.

This shit is bad news

why am i so upset by this

[nutstroker-deactivated20151022]

look at my tiny wheels.

god damn.

[adhdheather]

if u reblog anything about how being trans or not straight is becoming a fashion trend and try to discourage individuals from exploring their gender, sexual, and romantic orientations, im automatically unfollowing u

there’s no if ands or buts for this, if ur creating an environment where individuals aren’t going to feel safe or valid while exploring their identity, then ur creating an unsafe and harmful space thats only going to hurt and invalidate people

[viergacht]

Wish I knew the context for this.

"But you heard fine yesterday"

Many assume hearing aids (or cochlear implants) are magical cure to restore your hearing! Which isn’t the case. People assume that just because one has HAs or CIs they can hear perfectly fine. Absolutely wrong.

Hearing aids amplify. Hearing aid , aid ones hearing. So as you can see… not really a “magical cure.” Just makes things louder, and try to make speech clearer or environmental noise audible.

When working with someone who is d/Deaf/HoH, please be patient. Many of us lipread, see body language and facial expression for cues when interacting with someone. Some days we may “hear fine” - not have a lot of mishearings, be okay. But other days, our hearing could just be complete crap and we have to ask for repeats. 

Another factor could be, our ears just need a break. Throughout the day you may see us completely “There” and we aren’t so tired, but this is just in the beginning. But the longer we interact with people, the harder it is for us to concentrate. We are using our brains to figure things out. So much thinking and guessing, straining on the ears to TRY and listen as best as we can. Or straining on the eyes because we are lipreading and seeing body/facial cues. We get so tired from concentrating so hard all day. 

We still need a break from our HAs, CI(s), listening. We need to have ‘quiet time’ to restore some energy before going out again and listening. 

Working with someone who is d/Deaf/HoH … well, you need to be accommodative. You need to realize that some days, we just can’t get everything as we did yesterday. Just because one minute ago, hour, day, we heard fine… doesn’t mean the next minute, hour, day we will hear fine. It takes time for us to catch up, to breathe, to understand. Please be patient with us. We can’t just magically hear everything perfectly everyday. You need to realize that there are moments/days where we just had enough trying to hear, to listen, to concentrate so hard on what someone is saying.

So if you see us suddenly closing our eyes, looking tired, or not really paying attention… it’s because we are exhausted from straining to concentrate. When you see us like this… write what you were going to say, text us, email us, accommodate us. 

Please be respectful and not mad or annoyed because “We could hear just fine a few minutes ago! Listen!” because we are trying our best but it’s exhausting and our brains/eyes/ears are tired as it is.

idk i always imagined the boy in the Dreamworks opening as the man in the moon :v

also, its been a really long time since i’ve drawn anything from rotg

[sparkyrider]

Someone actually did it. Some friend of my family who has never seen me before actually asked my parents why I don’t have a cochlear implant for my right ear moment they heard I was deaf. And then proceeded to give me the most sympathetic look a Chinese woman could give me when we all explained that the reason why we didn’t bother is because it wouldn’t work for me. *headdesk*

People, I don’t care what language you phrase the question in, do not ask us about cochlear implants if you’re meeting us for the first time and we tell you we are deaf, especially if it’s the immediate response to the revealing of our disability, like a it’s a miracle fix/cure all/like DUH have you considered it…you should! type of thing. Also do not give us sympathetic looks…do WE look like we’re sorry we’re deaf? Most of the time, we are not, so please do not imply we need a fix for our hearing or it’ll be the most awful thing to live with, ever.
