Yo you should buy a bike helmet n wear it every damn time you ride. I don't own one but I'm solving that shit tomorrow. If you have a halfway cool/lefty bike co-op in your town they'll probably give you that shit for free
I just spent all evening at the ER cause my girlfriend crashed her bicycle and it's pure dumb luck that's she's alive right now and *only* broke her skull in like three places. You can bet your ass she's gonna wear a helmet now
Folks care about you and you need to reduce risk every opportunity you get. Peer pressure your friends over this. Legitimately, give your homie shit when she rides a bike without a helmet. Make wearing a helmet cool and keep yourself and your friends alive
I want you guys to know this shit not only makes my life better and easier, and consequently makes me like you more, but WAY MORE IMPORTANTLY could literally save someone's life.
Yes, eye strain sucks. Yes migraines are painful. Yes seizures are miserable. But every single epileptic seizure, to a very small but very much not zero degree, can just kill you. Seizures are horrible and dangerous - with aspiration and head trauma to take into account as well. Even if it's "not that much flashing" or it's "not that long" or "it's only a seizure" or whatever kind of excuse you may want to make - PLEASE think about photosensitive users when you interact with media
Anything with
Rapid change between different colors
Rapid change between light and dark frames
Anything that causes the value of the screen to change very majorly very quickly
Anything very color intensive/stressful for the eyes
Needs to be tagged with things like "flashing lights" "strobing" "eye strain" etc - NOT tags such as "photosensitive" or "epilepsy" bc we use those tags for our community
What the fuck is with you "anti endo" shitstains saying you're against endos because it's blatant ableism but when it comes to delusional people you suddenly don't care and throw that term around like you're actively trying to be exactly like endos.
You are doing exactly what they do to us. If you throw this term around like it's nothing? I hate to say it, but you aren't an anti endo, because you clearly don't care about ableism.
For anybody not caught up: Tennessee just passed a new map that pretty much makes it so black neighborhoods have no power in local votes. Two things about this. While protestors were chanting "No Jim Crow", white Tennessee lawmakers were caught laughing on video. On top of this, Representative Justin Pearson and his brother KeShaun Pearson were arrested for trying to give their takes on the matter (which is not only their legal right but literally his job). If you give a shit about black people, help fight this. We can't allow a return to Jim Crow.
Stop saying "eating disorders" when you mean *restrictive* eating disorders. Not all eating disorders are restrictive.
Stop forgetting about binge eating disorder, night eating syndrome, pica disorder, and gourmand syndrome. They are eating disorders too.
Also, PLEASE start including orthorexia amongst restrictive eating disorders. Orthorexia is a HIGHLY neglected condition in psychology BECAUSE IT DIRECTLY CALLS OUT DIET CULTURE, and how diets are bullshit.*
Orthorexia Nervosa causes a person to become obsessed with eating "healthy" food. What they consider to be "healthy" can vary between each person, and they treat certain foods as "clean" and "dirty."
Their diets either consist of eating far too little food (ie; only eating one meal a day, or eating meals that are so small that they don't sustain them), or leaving out important food groups (ie; lacking food that has protein.)
*(Disclaimer: Diets to cut out allergens/food triggers, to be more environmentally friendly, for religious beliefs, or for body building are fine ONLY if they include REPLACEMENTS for whatever food groups you're cutting out. Example: If you're cutting out meat, you need to add a new protein in to make up for it. Diets should never be about cutting out entire nutritional groups!)
White systems please stop saying âblack alterâ âPOC alterâ âasian alterâ ânative alterâ etc. Iâm literally begging you to talk to systems of colour and realize how odd (and racist) it is to say those phrases.
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!
All of this is worth the read, so reblogging for visibility.
Just to try and help out and spread the word, there are two chrome extensions I've found that might be able to help.
Seizafe: This extension scans youtube videos and warns you if they contain things like flashing lights that could cause a seizure.
CogniShield: This extension (supposedly, it has like no reviews) dims the screen to a safe level if flashing lights are detected; it can also be used to limit volume. It might help.
If anybody else knows of any accessibility tools, please share them.

call me the fucking ~internet police~ BUT I DIDNâT KNOW UNTIL TODAY THAT THEREâS LITERALLY A COMMUNITY OFÂ âPEDOPHILE POSITIVITYâ ON THIS HELLSITE
THERE ARE PEOPLE OPENLY ADMITTING THAT THEY ARE ATTRACTED TO CHILDREN/CONSUMING CHILD PORN ON THIS WEBSITE!?!??! THEREâS 13 YEAR OLDS ON HERE!!!
so my dudes, how to flag âmapsâ (minor attracted people aka pedophiles)
1. click âflag this blogâ
2. click âthis violates tumblrâs community guildlinesâ
If itâs clear they have broken laws (they post/talk about using child porn, admit to things theyâve done with minors, etc), go fill out a form here ( https://tips.fbi.gov ) to make the FBI aware and bring this filth to justice. Every single one. And if thereâs no proof of criminal offense, then go on and flag them, at least then they arenât here to prey on children on the internet.
Hi guys I recently had a run in with a pedophile who was posting child pornography, please donât call the police thereâs not a whole lot they can do in situations of tracking unless itâs in your home state! And they donât have a department that deals with blogs.
Instead call 1-800-843-5678 or fill out a form for cybertipline.com , they reach out within the same day and deal with these assholes all the time. They will contact you if they need more assistance or if theyâve resolved it! The police department redirected me to the hotline and will do so in every situation unless itâs local. Stay safe!
jkr is literally posting upskirt photos to her social media. when will it finally get through to harry potter fans that their support makes her feel confident and correct enough to do things like this
If the holocaust denialism SOMEHOW wasn't enough for you to shut up about your favourite kids book as an adult; JK Rowling just committed a sex crime IRL against a transgender woman.
letting all you discord using nonhumans know to go block user "@bia050081" on discord because they've at least added me to harass me so I'd assume they're looking to do it again for others. under the cut is a ss of their profile and my interaction with them.
The 4th of July brings sudden noises and flashing lights that can bring distress to people with disabilities and/or pets! These are my tips to you as someone with PTSD/autism and anxious pets.
The end part is seizure first aid and how to handle someone else having a seizure if you are nearby!
âżïž People with Disabilities ! (e.g; PTSD, anxiety, epilepsy)
- Try to pinpoint exactly when and where fireworks will occur in your area, this is to eliminate a "startle" factor. If your neighbors set off fireworks, prepare at least an hour before 8pm. People start setting fireworks off at around 9pm to 10pm ; probably longer because they don't necessarily consider us or pets nearby until an officer stops them.
- Sensory blocking is KEY!!!! Headphones, TV, shutting the blinds, or hiding out in the bathroom works too.
- Keep any medications nearby! Melatonin, panic attack medications, and so forth. They may be needed.
- Try to have doctors or trusted people on speed dial if possible. Seizures, panic attacks, and other conditions may require medical attention.
- Grounding techniques are your best friend. Try to engage your senses in the moment, whether it be taste, smell, touch, and so forth.
- Hydration and nutrition helps!!!! Even if you feel that sinking feeling or you're going out to a firework show; drink plenty of water and keep snacks on you!
If you're like me and have a particular dislike towards the taste of water, I suggest flavored electrolyte water like Propel or Powerade! This will combat the summer heat and lower seizure/panic attack thresholds.
đ For Friends, Family, or Neighbors of Disabled folks.
- Ask in advance about what triggers them, what the coping plan is, and how to help if they get overwhelmed. Most people with disabilities know their disability best!
- If you choose to light fireworks near their home, do try to keep them away from their area. Warn them via text, call, or quickly checking on them in person before starting so they aren't too startled by the sudden noise or flash.
- If you attend a public show, try to park your car in an easy-to-reach place and stay nearby. Make sure you're both on the same page around leaving if things get stressful.
đ€ Strangers
- If you see someone who appears distressed or overstimulated, ask calmly if there is anything you can do to help them in the moment! Respect their answer if they say no.
- If someone is experiencing a panic attack, sensory meltdown, or a seizure, keep crowds back! Give the person physical space and privacy from onlookers.
đŸ Pets with Disabilities
- Ensure you secure your environment. Try to keep them indoors, in cages, and/or in a space where they can't escape.
- Drown out the noise for them! Playing the TV, turning on a fan, or any other white noise to muddle the sounds of fireworks.
- It's common for pets run away on the 4th of July. Please make sure your pet has identification tags or a microchip, even if they don't normally wear a collar or get out.
- Pets cannot have medication meant for humans. Please speak to a vet about anxiety medications or calming pheromone diffusers. Some pet stores carry calming treats. Administer such medications at least an hour or 30 minutes before fireworks! Some anxious pets won't take the medication or treat if they're already going off!
đ Loose or Panicked Pets
- Keep a spare leash on you or a treat pouch in your car! This may help to secure loose pets without cornering them.
- Please be careful and approach lose pets with caution. Frightened animals may bite or scratch out of fear. Crouch, avoid eye contact, and speak softly. Do not offer hands or fingers for them to smell, but I suggest throwing treats in their direction to secure them.
- Check for identification. Collars or taking them to a local vet/shelter to scan for microchips.
- Post them on local boards! Taking a clear picture of pets and sharing them to community boards to find the owner (whether public or shelters).
SEIZURE FIRST AID.
The most critical rule of seizure first aid is to keep the person safe until the seizure stops naturally. Most seizures end on their own within a few minutes.
Stay with the person until the seizure ends and they are fully awake.
Move away sharp objects, hard furniture, or tight hazards.
If they are unconscious, roll them onto their side to keep their airway clear.
Note the exact start and end time of the active shaking.
Place something soft like a jacket or cushion under their head.
Undo buttons or ties around the neck to aid breathing.
Never hold the person down or try to stop their movements.
Never put anything in their mouth; it is anatomically impossible for the person to "swallow their tongue".
Speak softly and reassuringly to them as they regain consciousness.
"When should I call 911???"
The active seizure lasts longer than 5 minutes.
A second seizure begins right after the first one ends.
The person is injured, pregnant, or has an underlying health condition like diabetes.
The person struggles to breathe or does not wake up after shaking stops.
If the seizure happens in water or another dangerous environment.
The person has never had a known seizure before.
First off happy 4th of July to every fellow American, but also please please please keep any headphones and earbuds charged up. I know for many of us, neighbors have already been setting off fireworks a day or 2 before, but still. Make sure if you're affected by loud noises to keep headphones and earbuds on hand and charged up if you can. If you have airpods, absolutely use both for the noise canceling feature. Play your favorite music or YouTube video. Watch a movie you find comforting. Eat your favorite snacks and drink water. Just stay safe and we love you!
