the only bad part about going to the zoo is hearing adult men confidently tell their kids or gfs objectively incorrect information about the animals we’re looking at and having to remain silent. do u know the restraint it takes to say nothing when a grown adult man tells someone “falcons are in the same family as eagles” next to me? no babygirl. no.

fyi falcons are not closely related to other birds of prey (hawks/eagles/buzzards). falcons are actually parrots that minmaxed for a glass cannon dps build.

assault parrots, if you will

i genuinely need money for painkillers, food and on a way lesser note electrolytes because i think the heat is exacerbating the pain. ive been inside all day throwing up and laying in fetal position in the dark, but i have high hopes for feeling even a little bit better than this. doesnt have to be 90% but even 7% better is better than nothing. i made a post about this earlier but i didn’t get any donations so im asking with a renewed sense of urgency for you guys to pls donate if u can <3 or share if you cant. anything helps bc the pain is getting worse not better, and i have a lot to do tomorrow so i’d like to hopefully feel some relief tonight. <3

disability rights involves the right to do fuck all. the right to be a useless member of society and STILL be loved and cared for and have a fair standard of living. human beings are not defined by the capital we produce.

yeah, i agree. i want this to be a reality, not just posts on tumblr. i want disabled people (and abled people, ideally!) to be able to sit around eating fruit in the summer and receiving all the support needed to live a decent life regardless of whether they work or not, and without having to rely on family members being able and willing to take care of them. society should be set up so that abled people can exist without driving themselves to an early grave, and so that disabled people can just fucking exist.

i think a big part of this is UBI, which is why i'm a huge supporter of it. its not the end of the fight, but a good step towards a reality like this. with a UBI adjusted for cost of living, people could stay afloat without working. this doesnt account for people who need to pay medical bills or who need to pay for personal caretakers or medication, but like i said... a step in the right direction.

tldr IF YOU WANT THIS POST TO BE A REALITY, START BY CAMPAIGNING FOR UNIVERSAL BASIC INCOME!

I was debating pre- and post- smartphone existentialism with an older gentleman today and he stopped part way through and said "Why are you a security guard? Why aren't you teaching this at some college somewhere?" And I didn't know what to say so I went with "Well I used to make art but nobody pays an artist"

I want to invoke thought and wonder and introspection and encourage the passions of every soul I meet forever and ever and dig until I find the glorious potential for creation and experience and joy in every single one but unfortunately I must pay rent and so I stand, a meat shield, an NPC with unlockable dialogue

#capitalism brain tells you that anyone interesting must fight to the top of their interest#and precludes the possibility of everyone everyone everyone already being interesting

The band, the music, the dance.

puts on sound 📣🎶🎵

Ok, I NEED you to understand just how insane even ATTEMPTING this was for them.

1. Playing an instrument is difficult. Doing so in sync with others even more so. Don’t think I’m stepping on any toes saying that.

2. Dancing is difficult. Doing so in sync with others even more so. Still not controversial.

3. YOU AVOID, AT ALL COSTS, MOVING YOUR BODY WHILE PLAYING A WIND INSTRUMENT.  To make the correct, pleasant sounds, you need to be in the correct form. And that form involves your ENTIRE body, even your legs when sitting down.

4. “oh, but I’ve seen marching bands before and-” MARCHING BANDS HAVE ENTIRE SCIENTIFIC FIELDS DEDICATED TO FIGURING OUT HOW TO MARCH WITH MINIMUM BREAKING OF PROPER FORM. A marching band tries to be as smooth as possible while moving, so as not to jar their instrument, mouth, neck, arms, torso, or anything else.These ladies and gentlemen are BOUNCING and still playing properly, what the FU-!

5. AND ANOTHER THING! Wind instruments and dancing BOTH make demands on your breathing, so the fact that they are dancing (making you breath faster for extra oxygen) AND playing wind instruments (making you effectively hold your breath) AT THE SAME TIME is HUGE. Their lungs must be MASSIVE.

I am in love with Clara 😭

Transcript:

Clara trusts me enough to show me different parts of her body like her belly. show me her mouth and allow me to touch all of those teeth. —right? can you turn and show them all of your teeth? good job!— So we work really hard on being able to look over their entire bodies, and progress those behaviors to things like voluntary blood draws, ultrasounds, teeth brushing, and radiographing. —right? yeah!— But the biggest thing is we find what they find reenforcing and they show us that. and that includes hugs. —right?— And Clara has shown us that she really seems to enjoy tactile, so I give her this hand signal and she will show me what part of her body she wants rubbed. So, right now she wants a big noogie —right? good.— and sometimes what I will do is I’ll make her head a little pancake. or then I’ll rub her side and then she snuggles right in. —huh? huh! good girl thats very nice, good.— And then like I said, she would climb right on my lap and allow me to continue giving her tactile.

"mid" wife?.....ha, ha......no such thing.

I’m not going to explain myself

From my experience what these people actually want is confirmation that their experiences were normal and correct and that it's the world that has gone wrong. That's why confronting them with the fact that actually how they were treated was literally abuse makes them so upset, they don't want to acknowledge that they were (and often still are) victims of people and systems outside their control. They were raised with the mindset that to admit something hurt you was a weakness. They were raised to believe that suffering through hardship silently is a sign of good character and strength. They want to be praised for being so strong, not sympathised with for being so hurt, they just don't know what to do with that massive shift in perspective

I heard about one time when my grandfather was complaining about how his kids never behaved like that, and my grandmother answered that his kids might not have, but hers certainly did.

I STEPPED OUTSIDE OF THE FRONT DOOR OF MY OWN HOME ONLY TO FIND THE DEER THAT TRIED TO KICK MY ASS LAST YEAR STANDING RIGHT THERE IN MY FRONT YARD. BOLD AS BRASS.

AM I NOT SAFE ANYWHERE ANYMORE

for those of you who were not here last year: this deer is the most obnoxious, unnatural red-orange color I’ve ever seen, only appears when it’s raining, and once chased me a quarter mile through the woods. her name is Hot Cheeto Hatred and she is my nemesis

dude, i think that’s a fairy

There's a Black Sails joke in here somewhere

Haha looks like that relationship didn’t work out… didn’t work out et al.

The quickest karma
