People on twitter are saying glasses aren’t a disability aid, and like… I get glasses have been pretty normalized, but I’m poor and need my glasses to drive/see in general/stop myself from getting migraines so… if my glasses break, I’m pretty fucked. Not being able to see is a disability for many, actually.

People don't seem to understand that there's more symptoms to vision loss than just "blurry vision".

Without my glasses, aside from not being able to legally drive, I get horrible migraines because of the strain put on my eyes.

Headaches and migraines go hand-in-hand with vision loss.

Hell, even when I'm wearing my glasses, if one eye's vision gets even slightly worse, the migraines are back because the eyestrain is back.

And at least in the US, vision care isn't covered by regular health insurance. (Which is ridiculous, of course, but hey, that's the world we live in)

There have been numerous studies that show that students in low-income school districts struggle academically because of their unmet vision needs. And almost as soon as these students are provided with the vision care they need, their academic performance improves.

Yes, glasses are one of the most destigmatized disability aid, but that doesn't mean they're any less of a disability aid, and that doesn't mean that poor vision is any less of a disability.

And hell, there's still stigma around glasses. How many TV shows and movies show the nerdy, unpopular, ugly character suddenly become more "improved" when they remove their glasses? How many TV shows and movies make fun of glasses-wearers, especially their panic when they lose their glasses? How many glasses-wearers are depicted as socially-awkward, ugly, old, and unpopular? The only characters who wear glasses usually are unpopular nerds, elderly people, and nagging secretaries! There's still a hell of a lot of stigma around glasses, and just because they're very common, doesn't mean there still isn't soooo much stigma that needs to be worked on.

As a glasses-wearing girl I feel like I must reblog this. The last paragraph is true especially when the character is a girl. I can’t believe I was so blind to it before. No pun intended.

Reblogging as another glasses-wearing girl.

Also I’m legally required to have glasses to drive, so if I loose my glasses I’m screwed and can’t get around anywhere. Without my glasses I also can’t see people. I’m nearsighted so I can’t see people far away. So much so that once I was looking out window of my moms car near Kroger and thought I was seeing many people in pink shirts which turned out to be pink Kroger advertisements when I put on my glasses. People are also extremely blurry and are essentially poor pixels from the 2000s.

Tim doesn’t come out to the media, he just posts this as soon as June 1st hits and immediately turns off notifications , Bernard meanwhile is laughing like a madman next to him reading the comments 😌 Happy Pride 🏳️‍🌈🌈

I swear fanfiction authors will really just say: hey guys, sorry that this chapter came out an hour later than I planned it. I was murdered two weeks ago and just got revived. Anyway, here the chapter. Then write something that’s better than 99% of what Hollywood is putting out.

Half of my experience as a writer is spending an unreasonable amount of time on baby-names sites.

You'd think I've had fifteen children if you looked at my search history.

Why is this so true. I spend so much time on baby name sites.

Omg I’m so glad I’m not the only one who does this

Was having a discussion about fic with a friend and needed to make this. Please enjoy.

WIP Challenge

Rules: “post the names of all the files in your WIP folder regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them and then post a little snippet of it or tell them something about it! And then tag as many people as you have wips. (You can make your own post or reblog this one!)  I have deemed that this isn’t just for writing either. Sketch titles? Comics? Dnd campaigns? If you have an unfinished project, it counts!!”

I have way too many (60 with their own files and a ton of others sitting in ideas files I haven't bothered with yet) - here's ones with actual progress that made the cut on my vote.

Tag as many as I have WIPs? That's just mean.
