"But what if people will pretend to need this accessibility option so they can be lazy! People who don't need it will use it!!" I don't actually care

I dont care if 9/10 of the people who use the wheelchair ramp arent actually in wheelchairs. As long as the 1 person who needs it has access to it.

I dont care if 9/10 people who use the automatic push button on the library door can actually push the door open themselves. As long as the 1 person who the door is too heavy for gets to use it.

I dont care if 9/10 people who buy the can tab opener, or the little guitar clamp that holds the chords for you, or the hand grip that helps you hold chop sticks, don't need any of it and just get it to "be lazy". As long as the one disabled person who needs it gets access to it.

I do not care. Oh my GOD I do not care. As long as there's a disabled person on this planet who the accessibility device will benefit, the accessibility device is necessary.

Also, if you're so worried about people being "lazy" by using accessibility devices, MORE worried than you are about disabled (visibly or not) people not having access to them, you have unchecked ableism you need to work through.

Edit: Please stop fucking talking about the capos. I am talking about the thing you clamp on the neck of the guitar that holds/changes chords with a button, not capos. Stay on topic.

REMINDER TO CHECK YOUR BALLS

[fuqer]

[Image Description: Testicular Self Exam from the Testicular Cancer Awareness Foundation. Each point is accompanied by an image of the corresponding action.

1. cup one testicle at a time using both hands, best performed during or after a warm bath or shower

2. examine by rolling the testicle between thumb and fingers, use slight pressure

3. familiarize yourself with the spermatic cord and epididymis, tube like structures that connect on the back side of each testicle

4. feel for lumps, change in size or irregularities, it is normal for one testis to be slightly larger than the other

Every hour between 1 and 5 am, cats roll randomly on the "Annoying Events" table. If the cat is also a Princess, she rolls on the "Cute, Endearing Behaviours" table instead. The tables are the same.

There is something sooo deeply American going on with Seattle Children’s Hospital that I think would brick the minds of everyone outside of the United States.

[skygenders]

The CHILDRENS hospital has to restrict helipad landings because of noise complaints from the wealthy home owners living next to it. Only the most urgent patients can land directly at the hospital. While the other kids have to land a mile away and are taken to the hospital via ambulance. Which is an unnecessary risk to the child’s life and also makes the families pay for the helicopter AND ambulance.

[skygenders]

Seattle Children’s says Laurelhurst noise concerns burdens lifesaving care for children

The hospital says some limits on helipad access add pressure when children need lifesaving care.

Apparently this has been going on for decades and is only getting traction because a pilot complained on Twitter.

talking about ghosts and "spiritual experiences" in general is kind of tricky, because on the one hand, there's a lot of strictly anecdotal evidence for their existence, and if they aren't real, that would imply that literally every single piece of anecdotal evidence like that throughout recorded human history is actually evidence of people outright rejecting reality, the laws of physics and causality, and their own memories/experiences to fit a literally impossible narrative just because they want to believe it's true, which in turn would have extremely troubling implications for all theories and personal anecdotes in general. and on the other hand ghosts aren't fucking real and all those implications are true

[sexhaver]

like the central issue here is that you can say "ghosts aren't real" and someone will say "okay well my grandma's house has unexplained cold spots and people have heard voices there for decades after someone was murdered, are you saying that's just coincidence?". and responding with "yes + your grandma should check for gas leaks" is considered a more embarrassing thing to say than the thing it's responding to

[sexhaver]

never mind actually ghosts are real but only for this person's grandma
