Flags

I have had 3 mineral posts flagged as adult content today. They contained a tourmaline, a muscovite, and a galena. On Friday I had 3 fossil posts flagged as adult content, including a fossil fish, a fossil tooth from a mastodon, and a Tyrannosaur vertebrae. I’ve submitted appeals for each. This has been getting worse over the past month, apparently most of geology content is now only for adults. 

Apparently you can’t get your rocks off on Tumblr anymore.

The way that we learn about Helen Keller in school is an absolute outrage. We read “The Miracle Worker”- the miracle worker referring to her teacher; she’s not even the title character in her own story. The narrative about disabled people that we are comfortable with follows this format- “overcoming” disability. Disabled people as children. Helen Keller as an adult, though? She was a radical socialist, a fierce disability advocate, and a suffragette. There’s no reason she should not be considered a feminist icon, btw, and the fact that she isn’t is pure ableism- while other white feminists of that time were blatent racists, she was speaking out against Woodrew Wilson because of his vehement racism. She supported woman’s suffrage and birth control. She was an anti-war speaker. She was an initial donor to the NAACP. She spoke out about the causes of blindness- often disease caused by poverty and poor working conditions. She was so brave and outspoken that the FBI had a file on her because of all the trouble she caused.

Yet when we talk about her, it’s either the boring, inspiration porn story of her as a child and her heroic teacher, or as the punchline of ableist, misogynistic jokes. It’s not just offensive, it’s downright disgusting.

the reason the story stops once hellen keller learns to talk is no one wanted to listen to what she had to say

how’s that for a fucking punchline

Another part of the story that is often conveniently omitted is that Anne Sullivan, the “miracle worker” in question, was also a visually impaired woman (and abolitionist) who faced her own struggles finding accessible education. That was why she was able to teach Helen Keller and connect her with resources that would allow her to flourish in academia. When Helen Keller was railing against poverty-induced diseases that caused blindness, she was talking about things like trachoma which was what had caused her friend’s vision loss.

The fact that Sullivan is often portrayed as able-bodied in retellings of their story is indicative of the narrative that is most comfortable for an ableist society: that accessibility and equality are gifts bestowed upon the disabled by able-bodied heroes. Disabled children are never taught that they have the power to lift each other up, and that’s a crying shame.

Whenever the shit gets too deep here on the bluish-brown marble, I head over to NASA’s site to see if our new Space Force is conquering every ball of gas and rock in the known galaxy. Sorry to say the answer is no, so we’ll just have to spend our days and nights gazing yonward and dreaming. This month’s major celestial events are the Geminid meteor shower, a comet, and lots of hot planet-on-planet action. Here’s NASA’s Jane Houston Jones with a preview, and while you’re watching, we advise you pull out a hanky for what comes next: What you just watched was the final broadcast of What’s Up? with writer and narrator Jane Houston Jones at the helm. Her soothing voice, tinged with just a touch of enthusiastic pluck, has been NASA’s voice for these monthly updates since 2007, guiding us to crane our necks for all the eclipses, planets, comets, constellations, and meteor showers. Next month brings with it a new host, and we hope NASA chooses well. In the meantime, fare thee well, and thanks for an 11-year job well done, June Houston Jones. We hope you enjoy the retirement gift we all sprung for ya: a bedroom constellation projector…

The Great Bamboozle of 2017. Republicans swore on their mother’s graves that the middle class would benefit from their daylight heist on behalf of the billionaires because all that money at the top would trickle down. It’s been a year and you can predict the outcome: A surprising number of workers aren’t seeing any wage growth at all. Their pay this year is exactly the same as it was last year, right down to the dollar. And note that the plight of these workers with frozen wages looks even worse once you account for inflation. Over time, you’d expect to see a symmetric up-and-down pattern in the number of workers without raises, driven by a well-known phenomenon called sticky wages. It works like this: Even when the economy is bad, employers are reluctant to cut pay, for fear of lowering morale and productivity. So workers lucky enough to avoid a layoff instead find their salaries frozen in place. Then, as the economy improves, regular raises return. Except this time this unusually large number of workers is still stuck with frozen paychecks. Meanwhile, the feet of an unusually large number of Republican politicians who passed this dreck are far from frozen—they’re packin’ up and getting ready to flee the House, some of ‘em by their own accord, but many by getting tossed out on their ears November 6th. Special message to Ayn Rand’s #1 fan: after you turn the lights out for the last time, do us all a favor: go Galt already.

Suicide rates are absolutely going to continue to climb in the USA as long as our concept of “Mental Health” remains separated from material conditions. Antidepressants can’t cure poverty and alienation. They can’t cure the crushing pressure that comes with watching climate changing in real time, but feeling powerless because the government is too corrupt to care. They can’t cure the many chronic physical health conditions people go without treatment for because the US physical health system is bullshit. Always turning toward psychiatry for an answer is a perfect example of American style individualism killing people, because the problem is always said to exist in the individual’s brain chemicals, and society is always innocent. As the famous quote goes “It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.“

17 December

We are aware of the devastating impact of Tumblr’s new “Community guidelines” for a large part of the Tumblr community.

We are now rapidly looking at what steps we can take to:

* help the community retain access to current blog content and Likes

* create an alternative home for safe, equal and non-judgmental posting of all legal content, built on free speech principles.

For now, we recommend that users download to their own PC any content which they want to be sure of preserving.  Gridllr.com can be used to help download photos and GIFs (but not video or audio, sorry).  For photos and GIFs, the download button automatically gives you the largest image size available.

Pro Tip: For fastest downloading on a Windows PC, right-click the download button and select “Save Link As…” (Firefox / Chrome), and save immediately to disk.  This download button gives you the largest size available from Tumblr - it is not limited to the current size seen on the grid screen.

This weekend (8-9 December) we will update with more information about what Gridllr plans to do to help the community after 17 December.
