The truth is most people think being disabled is a death sentence but instead of advocating for disabled people they r convinced that they’ll never become disabled as if being disabled is some biblical punishment. Guess what? Accidents happen. You will get old and your body will stop working like it used to. Imagine if we live in a world where disability is seen as normal. Where we actually take care of each other.

Also I don’t think we have as many abled body people in the world as we think. I think many people are so terrified of being disabled that they r willing overwork themselves to prove they can do it. Many people deal with chronic pain and physical health issues in silence. Because they don’t want to be burden. I think we should be burden to each other and i think labor should be shared.

oh your pronouns are he/they?

well that’s mathematically incorrect becuase you can still simplify the fraction since both sides have “he”

making your pronouns technically 1/ty

>:)

I love how all of the Batman villains are like “ah he’s not at the manor, it’s defenseless! and then alfred just racks an AK-47 and is like pull up bitch

Batman’s Villains: The butler will be easy prey!

He’s just an old man…he doesn’t have any of the Batman’s gadgets or training or fighting skills!

Alfred: Oh my you’re right

There’s something else of Master Bruce’s I don’t have as well

(Cocks a shotgun) A CODE AGAINST KILLING

Batman’s Villains: Wayne isn’t here to save you old man!

Alfred:

Alfred is the original “Call an ambulance — but not for me”

@dragonpuppies I spent way too long on this

Bruce: I have a code.

Alfred: And I have a gun.

Bruce: time to remove the guns.

Alfred: good fucking luck.

I’ve peer reviewed @ebonyheartnet’s addition and found that it deserves a reblog.

god those "primal" people who are like "our ancestors SLEPT ON THE GROUND and ate RAW MEAT and sometimes didnt eat for DAYS!! so thats how we should all be living its NATURAL!!" i truly am full of rage towards them.

like. first of all: being able to cook meat was Really Important for our evolution, so no dumbass, we arent "meant to eat raw meat" you fucking moron LOOK AT YOUR TEETH. WE ARE MADE TO EAT SAFELY COOKED MEAT.

second: who the fuck are these "ancestors". how far back are we going? modern humans? one of the other hominids? full monkee? you are idolizing a random point in our species' history because of whatever unscientific fantastical version of pre-modern life was. it wasnt hell on earth it wasnt paradise we were just LIVING.

third: DJFJSKBDFDSFCDHJFBS HARDER DOES NOT MEAN BETTER YOU CUNT. our ancestors lived hard lives because they HAD TO. and you know what? THEY TRIED TO MAKE IT EASIER!! do you fucking think people were laying on hard stone because of their amazing willpower? No! They were getting moss and animals pelts and shit to make it a little comfier! They were trying out spices! They were painting with their children! WE MADE CLOTHES FOR A REASON!!!

its just like. 100% based off the idea of early humans as jacked (white) cavemen who beat up dinosaurs with their hands and were constantly fighting. theres no humanity in your fantasy of early humans. our ancestors would be amazed and HAPPY with how far we've come with providing ourselves comfort and support. when someone was disabled in the past they werent (at least not always) killed or left to die. people cared for them! modern humans have a long, long history of making the best out of things and finding comfort where we can and always trying to make our lives better. eating raw liver doesnt make you better you dork

chantek the orangutan regularly requested ice cream and cheeseburgers via sign language, and happily made his own jewelry. many great apes in zoos, from chimps to gorillas, will thread beads on string and wear them. one gorilla was observed ripping a feed sack along the seams and wearing it as a little shawl when she was feeling sad. a young chimp was observed playing with a dead squirrel as she watched her mother care for her baby brother, rocking the soft little body and signing baby, baby, kiss. another chimp raised by a human demanded her caretaker check under her bed each night for black dogs and crocodiles. in college when i was taking art history we were shown a little round pebble with two dots and a crease, that looked like a face, that was found thousands of miles away from where it should have been, and it’s theorized that it must have been carried by an early hominid who saw the face, and liked it. many ancient cultures that never invented the wagon nonetheless built wheeled pull-toys for their children.

our ancestors ate delicious snacks as often as they could get them and some of the earliest tool use was drilling holes in stones to make beads and spinning fiber for string. our cousins still make nests and rain hats and hug each other when they’re sad and do tricks for peanut butter and grape juice. we have always been as soft as the world allowed.

i hate the diet industry as a whole, but there’s something so DEEPLY insidious about how “cleanses” and the marketing thereof is pathologizing… digestion.  like, basic concept of it – the process of eating food, extracting nutrients over time, and removing anything indigestible by pooping at the end.

your digestive system should not ever be “clean”.  it is full of bacteria.  it contains bile and shit and mucus.  this is normal and healthy.  you do not have “pounds of toxic sludge” in your body, that is partially digested food and unless you are constipated, it is supposed to be there.  your organs are still extracting nutrients from it.  

your intestines are not meant to be 100% empty.  you should have food moving through your system– you deserve to eat, and you deserve to digest that food as best you can (digestive problems gang, how’s it going?).

you are not losing fat tissue when you take laxative teas, you are losing water, nutrients, electrolytes, healthy bacteria.  and even if you were?  fuck that.  fat people shouldn’t be bullied into taking laxatives.  constant diarrhea is not pleasant or healthy or better than being fat.  let us fucking eat and digest our fucking food.

[ID: tag from @scooplery reading: you do not need to perform violent exorcisms on your digestive system]

hope you don’t mind me adding this on here but this is the best tag on this or possibly any post

why tf so many terfs reblogging this post im a trans woman die mad about it are you reblogging because you relate to being a Pest

my art style is heavily influenced by the art movement known as “gråtrunka”. It has its roots in old swedish folklore and is primarily about dealing with loneliness and longing. Its a very subtle and unique form of vent art that has its origins from around the 1200bc.

Okay that's pretty funny

FIRST AND LAST V1

Let’s not overlook how it always seems to be black women targeted either.

You know, one of the things I didn’t fully appreciate about The Princess Bride until I started really thinking about it is that Fezzik is definitely the brains of the two but Inigo knows what kind of story he’s in.

Inigo: I have searched for twenty years for the man with six fingers Fezzik: Yeah I went over to the neighboring kingdom, asked for a guy with six fingers, I know his name and where he lives now.

Inigo: We’re gonna go find the Man in Black Fezzik: We… don’t actually know where he is. Inigo: Don’t bother me with trifles, I need to complete my revenge by tonight!

*scream rings out* Inigo: That is the scream of the Man in Black, it’s because his true love is Buttercup and tonight she marries someone else. Fezzik: I have no idea how you got all that from “AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!” but hey, it’s not like we have any other leads.

Fezzik: Yeah, he’s dead. So are we moving on to Plan B or… Inigo: Nope we’re gonna resurrect him. Fezzik: Okay, fine, it’s not like he can get any deader.

Inigo: *twenty year long revenge plan is nearly foiled by a door and then runs into a gut wound that he overcomes by sheer protagonist power* Fezzik: ….You know what? I’m gonna plan our escape route.

I’m just gonna assume that once they got past the border and Westley and Buttercup are doing the big ending kiss, Fezzik is just offscreen wrapping up Inigo’s gut wound that he was too high on adrenaline to notice.

it’s very important to me that A. Fezzik is fully aware he dropped out of school in 1st grade and that Inigo technically knows more than him but also B. Fezzik is fully aware that between him and Inigo, he’s the one with the common sense

Dude just stop climbing mount everest. just stop it. Wtf

Not sure if this is a shitpost but we really do need to stop climbing mount everest. It’s largely pointless and we’ve made a huge ecological impact of years from waste left behind from all exhibitions. Not to mention the economic impact on locals

people in the notes are trying to imply this is good, normal, natural, and not something to be discouraged, so uh… lets break this down

obvious warnings for discussions of death

you really think all that is natural and normal? 

in what world is everest worth it

Okay wow that’s horrific

If someone wrote this shit into fiction it’d be considered an overly ham-handed allegory about clout-chasing and human stupidity and instead these fuckers are doing it of their own volition.

John Oliver did a really good Last Week Tonight segment on this but holy shit I did not know about the bodies and holy shit why are the bodies being used as landmarks that’s

Have a great day today.

[Transcript:

Hi, this is how I wrap presents for people with lower fine motor control; it could be older people, younger people, people with disabilities.

You can use ribbon you already have for wrapping present, and I measured around the item I am about to wrap leaving a little bit of room for the handle.

I taped the beginning end of the ribbon to the box and then loop back the extra ribbon to make a handle, and it should look something like this

You can wrap pretty much like you normally do as long as you make sure that the handle is exposed .

You could even tie something onto the handle for extra support

All done!

You don’t know how much effort I went to to find this

I wish more people got this because some ‘low-empathy’ people are the most compassionate and sympathetic in the universe, and I hate it when that’s taken to mean ‘unfeeling and probably hostile’ when nothing could be further from the truth

Or, as my dad put it,

Sympathy: I know how you feel Empathy: I feel how you feel Compassion: is there anything I can do to help?

Sympathy: that sucks bro empathy: I feel that compassion: want me to send you some puppy and kitten pictures to make you feel better?

Posts like this make me feel so much better. It always seems like society treat responses to others pain as though empathy is the most important kind. I am around 85% compassionate and this post helped me not feel like I am a monster because of that for once.
