whats ur favorite bird?

anon you have just opened pandora’s box

My favorite particular bird is the Pfeilstorch! This is a piece of taxidermy from the early 1800s currently on display at the University of Rostock in Germany.

In the early 1800s, natural historians and biologists did not know where birds went for the winter. They just disappeared. Some people thought they hibernated like bears, or turned into fish (!!) or flew to the moon (!!)

Cut to 1822 when a this bird was found in Germany. It was still alive, walking around with this spear in its neck. The spear was made from wood that only grows in central Africa. The German biologists determined that the bird had been speared in central Africa and then flew north to Germany. This was how they figured out that birds migrate with the changing seasons.

This is why fat shaming can have tragic consequences.

If this sort of weight-based medical bias happens to any of y'all, politely tell the doctor (during your visit) that you want them to write in your file that they are refusing ordering tests for you because of your current weight. This usually causes them to order the test anyways because they do NOT want a malpractice suit. Remember: You want to make a paper trail to hold them accountable.

Disability Pride Month!

There is a large intersection between queerness and disability, including marriage inequality, medical abuse, and legal discrimination. The lines between queerness and disability have been practically nonexistent within living memory and both communities can learn from the other as well as uplift each others voices.

As a queer disabled person, I wanted to share some articles about queer/disabled history:

Vaslav Nijinsky 

Emmeline Freda Du Faur

Gottfried von Bismarck

Victoria Arellano 

Anna Freud 

Lou Sullivan 

Lesbia Harford

Frida Kahlo 

Magnus Hirschfeld 

Kristina King of Sweden

Edward De Lacy Evans  

(To be clear, not all of these are about queer disabled people, but they all have connection to disability through medicalization, or disability)
