#stop ignorance

[dollymads]

yall like, i see shit on the news abt people dying and it’s fucking insane

these people have lives and they had hearts and they had a personality and they loved people and they’re gone

like idk if the people i talk to are just desensitized but the people that have died are PEOPLE

they’re not robots, they’re not fake, they’re people and they had a life like you and me

Fellow Epileptics & seizure havers, What's the most ignorant/ableist thing people have said to you?

Some of mine are:

A secretary at my doctors office saying "Sit down your appointment is soon, would you like some water?" when I went to them in a panic to say I feel like I'm about to have a seizure.

2 different nurses dismissing my memory issues because "everyone forgets things" or because I could remember what I was wearing that week, I was "obviously fine" (I wear the same thing 90% of the time)

Being sent a troll link that traps you on a flashing site and when I told them that could have harmed me because I have photosensitive epilepsy, they laughed.

I can't remember if there were anything else but those are the biggest experiences that upset me.

Let me know your experiences, it doesn't have to be anything big. I just want everyone to know they're not alone with being treated wrong 💚

I'm trying hard to spread awareness so these experiences can stop happening because you know It's bad when people in the medical field are as ignorant as the general public..

Also people with non-epileptic seizures, you're included too!!

bonus thing that annoys me: I've been trying to see a neurologist for months now over my seizures changing and concerns about my brain but having no luck. I'm tired of having to keep poking my doctor for a referral...

I was asked stupid things again today!

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

READY, OK! LETS GO!

Hater: “what are you listening to?”

Me: “Agust D”

Hater: “ who is that?”

Me: “ He’s a South Korean rapper”

AKA Suga from BTS THIS GUY...

Hater: “ Oh, so you’re in that deep into it, huh?”

What the hell is that suppose to mean?

Hater: “ So, if you married a korean guy would you move to Korea?”

Excuse me, what?

Me: “if I ended up with someone naturally, that wouldn’t bother me...” (not for money or weird shit, but I genuinely cared for them)

I turned slowly towards them...

“What’s wrong with that?”

They shrug.

Hater. “Nothing, nothing...”

Me:

Damn. Wtf

I’m not understanding....

I was just listening to some good ass music and I get asked this shit

WHY DID YOU EVEN MENTION MARRIAGE, weird ass?

Also, you should listen to this mixtape cause it still is a banger, even today. 😊😂

But if some hot korean dude

(or any dude I deemed as hot)

wanted to go out and that’s what happened, I wouldn’t give 2flying fucks of what anyone thinks.

I WAS JUST LISTENING TO SOME MUSIC, GODDAMN! Can I chill and work in peace?

But why....

WHY DOES EVERYONE KEEP ASKING ME THIS WEIRD SHIT?!

WTH is every body on?!

Crack, Dom. Everybody is on crack.

This is how I feel.👇🏽

1st December - World Aids Day

I know my status and you?

Loreena Mc Kennitt - Samain Night (1989)

When the moon on a cloud cast night Shone above the tree tops' height You sang me of some distant past That made my heart beat strong and fast Now I know I'm home at last

You offered me an eagle's wing That to the sun, I might soar and sing And if I heard the owl's cry Into the forest I would fly And in its darkness find you by

So our love's not a simple thing Nor our truths unwavering Like the moon's pull on the tide Our fingers touch, our hearts collide I'll be a moonsbreath from your side I'll be a moonsbreath from your side I'll be a moonsbreath from your side

The real horrors tonight aren’t witches or ghosts. It’s ignorance and hate, and they’re everywhere. Like on Samhain, the walls between a hate-tinted reality and our world are getting thinner and thinner. So, tonight, just tonight if that’s all you can do, don’t hate. Listen. Feel. Empathize. Stop what you’re doing for a second and listen to what other people have to say. Even if you don’t agree, understand. Present your points of view calmly, and understand if they’re not accepted. Never forget that we’re all human. We’re all fallible, and we all deserve respect. Respect is not something we owe only the ones we agree with. The darkness that will descend on us all if we don’t respect and tolerate all points of view will last longer than a winter. The real change isn’t in hate. It is, and has always been in respect. That’s where Spring is.
