If people are sad about The Wizard Facism game coming from someone you used to look up to and admire, may I suggest an author whose books are filled with nuanced characters and strong, dynamic women?

Tamora Pierce has been writing since the 80’s and has two worlds of magic and fantasy and bonus!!! Isn’t a transphobic POS.

This is what she added on FB for pride month this year (2025)

I love Tammy for being so understanding and supportive, and y'all should read her stuff!!

(yes. My screen name is a *direct* reference to Daja-the-Tammy-Character. Picked before I'd entirely processed being queer myself. Go figure.)

I bring a real 'actually people who are pregnant do deserve some special consideration because they are effectively at least temporarily disabled if not permanently after some complications' vibe to the party that a lot of people don't seem to like

longsightmyth

There is a point at which I have to sigh heavily and ask people to a, read the actual words of the post, but also, I guess, b, clarify that it was made by yours truly, a disabled person (though admittedly not a pregnant one)

longsightmyth

Right okay and do we think the conclusion here should be 'pregnant people shouldn't get accommodations because other disabled people don't' or do we think it should be 'all disabled people should have accommodations' because I PROMISE, I PINKY PROMISE, pregnant people do not get nearly as much 'special treatment' as people seem to think they do, much as people claim other disabled people 'develop entitlement' when they have needs.

And just as with other disabled people, SO MANY PEOPLE feel entitled to comment on lifestyle and entitled to fucking touch pregnant people without consent.

Idk I might insist on and demand space too.

And that's before we get into the similarities of governments attempting to police the bodies of pregnant people just as they do other disabled people.

There is one very important thing I need people without major dietary restrictions to understand: the distress caused by allergies, celiac disease, and other food restrictions is largely not about the food.

Do I miss some foods I can't eat anymore without getting sick? Sure, but that's not what really bothers me. What bothers me is being excluded from a huge portion of human social life of which food is a crucial component. What bothers me is the stress and social stigma of trying to figure out what I can safely eat. What bothers me is the amount of extra work and cost that is required of me to identify, obtain, and prepare safe foods. What bothers me is people treating my needs like a nuisance, as though I chose to be like this - as though their brief inconvenience to check an ingredients list is unreasonable, when I deal with this every day of my life forever.

I don't miss the food that much. I miss not having to worry about what I eat. I miss freedom. I miss when trying new foods and new restaurants was fun instead of a minefield. I miss not having to plan my entire life around the need for safe foods.

Food is such a basic human need, and a lot of people don't really need to think about it. When your danger foods can be anywhere and everywhere, suddenly your entire life revolves around avoiding them, and it massively sucks. You get used to it and it's not a big deal most of the time, but then you go to a new restaurant, or your office has a potluck, or you've been invited to a party and suddenly it feels just as miserable and exhausting as it ever has.
