Hi, I'm Maria, she/her/they/them, 22, and this is the blog that I use to vent and just let everything out.

Captions shouldn't be censored. If the video says fuck or cum or cunt the captions should say the fucking word.

Unless it's a slur! No one needs to see that.

If they say a slur in the video, the captions should reflect it. The disabled are not little babies who have to have life sanitized for them.

okay but I feel like ur forgetting that slurs don't just apply to the disabled... children don't need to be seeing the n-word or other racial slurs??

but children DO need to be hearing it? are you actually reading the post here?

Here's how it works when subtitles are done properly:

Audio: Let's BEEP go! Subtitle: Let's (censor tone) go!

Audio: Let's fucking go! Subtitle: Let's fucking go!

Removing swears and slurs from the subtitles without removing it from the audio is implying that deaf/HoH people need babying, unlike their hearing friends and family sitting right next to them. Which is frustrating.

The point of subtitles is to give the same experience to everyone watching, regardless of ability—not to be a more palatable version of what's being said.

On days you feel exhausted but frustrated because you feel like you haven’t done anything to be this tired, think about these things:

  • How longe since you’ve had a good night’s sleep? No nightmares, no waking up multiple times, actually going to bed early, not having insomnia, actually waking up feeling rested and ready to face the day?
  • How long has it been since you ate a properly nutritious and wholesome meal?
  • How long since you’ve taken a break from work without thinking about all the work you will have to do later?
  • Are you currently fighting any illness? Remember your body takes energy to recover.
  • Are you really “doing nothing” if you are constantly overthinking the fact you feel unproductive, if you are constantly stressed with the things you do and don’t do?
  • Have you had bad/no social interaction lately?
  • Are you in any physical or mental pain?
  • Are you taking care of everyone but yourself?
  • Does trying to live during a pandemic and world crisis brings you worry and stress?
  • Are you feeling anguish over all the burdens you have to carry but don’t seem to be able to do everything you feel like you should be doing?
  • Are you constantly worried? Anxious?

It doesn’t feel like you have been doing nothing now, does it? It feels like you have a lot going on that you have to deal with daily, even when you don’t consciously notice it. There is a lot of stress inducing factors around you and struggling is okay.

It is not easy to be human sometimes, so please, don’t pressure yourself so much when you are already trying to cope. If it feels like everything is too heavy, please ask for help.

Please take care of yourself. 🌱

on no shame day i wanna remind everyone who still feels shame about their disabilities that that’s ok!! we’ve been brainwashed our whole lives into thinking disability is something to be ashamed of & that takes serious work to undo. work that we may not always have the energy or will to do. you’re not a bad antiableist for struggling w/ internalized ableism. it gets the best of all of us sometimes. i’ve said this before & i’ll say it again: there is no shame in being ashamed

i made this post a long time ago & i think i may have forgotten this somewhere along the way. so here’s to remembering

no shame even in shame

I just reblogged this with the command, shit

Do you know how much this helps people who have trouble with the mouse? (Me, other disabled people) thank you

Yup, I use these when my hands get particularly weak (like now)

Alt + R is the new command to reblog Alt + Q is the new command to queue
