It's a Professional Thing

I climb and study languages and read books

hey (@americans) please remember that the pandemic is not over. please wear masks, keep six feet away from each other, don’t go out for unecessary stuff. i know that a lot of states are reopening but the cases are increasing again and we’re starting a second wave. i know we’re all tired of covid and there’s a lot going on right now but please please please remember this isn’t over. (6/10/20)

[starlightomatic]

I’m serious. I keep seeing posts about people going to restaurants, planning barbecues, going on dates with new people, etc. I’m begging you, please stop. We only got this under control because we isolated. What was the point of the last three months of hardship if we’re just going to go back and spread the virus again? This isn’t over just because you’re tired of it.

“bodies associated with cis women are harshly stigmatized, made taboo, and policed as part of misogyny, often in violent ways or with the threat of violence” and “not all women have vaginas and not everyone with a vagina is a woman” and “trans peoples’ bodies are harshly stigmatized, made taboo, and policed as part of transphobia, often in violent ways or with the threat of violence” are not mutually exclusive facts and in fact all of these things are deeply interlinked, and should not be used as gotchas! against each other

An example of someone acknowledging their white privilege and using it to help. #Love it!

This Dimitri is straight out of a Russian novel

[senka-mesecine]

his character really is more of a prince by sheer default then nearly any actual disney prince out there and you may all fight me on this - he excudes that decent slavic sadness™ centrified all the way

[brittanyleanne32194]

but why do i say “i know” to my pets when they make noises. im lying to them. i don’t know anything.

I love all the One Day At A Time characters but the women of the show are just so special to me in their own way. The way I see it Elena is the brains, Penelope the heart and Lydia the passion.

I had some much fun doing these illustrations 💜

[Now we get to the brownface photo. After it drops, Adam calls an all-staff Zoom meeting to discuss it.]

He just kind of said sorry, I’m sorry, this was dumb, a dumb costume, I didn’t realize how this might affect people. And it was like a couple sentences, and then there was a pause and no one spoke, and he was like, “Okay, so let’s wrap this meeting up!” And I was like, “Absolutely not. You should resign. Like I think it’s crazy that you think that you can do anything now but resign.” And then that got the conversation started.

[What did he say to that?]

He said, “Yeah, maybe, maybe I should. I don’t know.” He said he wanted to think about what’s good for Bon Appetit, like maybe it’s better for him to stay and help us fix this, but then more people started chiming in wanting his resignation.

[Were any of the people who chimed in white?]

Well, what happened was, it was like 40 people on the Zoom meeting. Half of them were not showing their face. And then it was me and like a couple other people of color and one white girl who were speaking. And then I kind of just snapped and yelled at everybody and I’m like, this is why this shit happens! Everyone’s hiding. Like half of you are hiding, most of you aren’t saying anything. And you post all this stuff on Instagram about pretending to care. But now is the time where we can actually make a difference, but no one was speaking up?

And then the white people started talking. They just needed to be yelled at. It shouldn’t happen that way, it really shouldn’t.

Making fun of disabled adults who still live with their parents is ableist, period.

[wetwareproblem]

Making fun of adults who still live with their parents until they feel obligated to disclose medical information is also ableist. Disabled people don't owe you an explanation.

[daemonvatis]

Making fun of adults that still live with their parents is ableist, classist, AND reinforces capitalism.  

[anais-ninja-bitch]

let's also say ageist. many seniors find it beneficial to have the assistance and company of their kids. like, older folks have limited mobility that might not rise to the level of disability, and it's good for them to have reinforcements.

also, wild though it may seem: healthy families like being with each other.

[somethingaboutsomethingelse]

It's also incredibly western-centric.

[the-chief-moosekateer]

I still live at home with my mom because neither of us want to live alone. It wouldn't be financially beneficial for either of us and we just don't want to.

A follow up in my sketchbook

[jimhensonreject]

This is unironically one of the better written, in-character, funny pieces of Scooby-Doo media in the past decade

[warptimeandspace-deactivated202]

why when able bodied fans draw canonically disabled chair-user characters do they have the abled partner sitting on their lap? i would kill someone if they touched my cane or sat on me in my chair

[warptimeandspace-deactivated202]

THIS SHIT IS INFINITELY MORE ROMANTIC THAN SITTING ON TOP OF YOUR DISABLED PARTNER. THE TENDERNESS INVOLVED IN HOLDING YOUR PARTNERS HAND, IN BEING CONSIDERATE OF THEIR SPACE, IN MAKING SURE THEY FEEL SAFE AND LOVED. i’m not going to go as far as saying stop having able bodied people sit on top of their disabled partners but know i’m disabled and would never consider it. i would absolutely get hurt

[warptimeandspace-deactivated202]

i hold the same viewpoint on able bodied partners carrying their disabled partner for no reason. my body is a fragile thing, easily broken. it has to be protected even from people with the best intentions. meet me at my level instead of taking me to yours

[warptimeandspace-deactivated202]

abled allies can and should reblog this

[dhdrawings]

Just cause I can let a 4 yr old on my lap does not mean I can carry a grown human being -_-
