As protests start ramping up and violence escalates please remember:

DO NOT PUT MILK IN YOUR EYES FOR PEPPER SPRAY OR TEAR GAS.

It can and will cause infection due to bacteria. Flush with water, distilled if possible, and never EVER wear contact lenses to protests where there may be police retaliation.

Please reblog. It may save someone's sight.

if your class solidarity doesn’t include people who are on SSI, food stamps, or are unable to work it’s not solidarity

this also applies to homeless people, sex workers and undocumented workers. include them or your solidarity is meaningless

yes this includes people who “mooch off” their parents by still living with them into adulthood. you are not an ally to disabled or poor people if you hold disdain for those who cannot live on their own.

I met a girl in camp once who was wearing very fancy blue socks with red octopuses on them that matched her curly red hair, so I complimented her outfit and she was like "hold the fuck on" and proceeded to roll up her pant leg and show me that she had a massive matching octopus TATTOO on her leg and then I asked her what she did for a living and she said she's a marine biologist and I was sitting there like. Of fucking course you are

really wish "abolish the police" was trending with all the news, it feels like a lot of ppl have forgotten since the height of blm

please dont tell a black person to not view police violence as a pressing issue, thanks.

my post in no way even specified the US, and it didnt for a good reason. abolish the police is an INTERNATIONAL CONCEPT.

police literally openly all over the world participate in genocide. and yes, the police in the united states participate in genocide. there are several genocides occurring. im not distracting from shit. i have the capacity to care about multiple things and so should you. im simply highlighting that cops are in fact a tool of genocides, with an 's', and my sadness comes from the sudden burst of support during blm no longer being present.

these things are CONNECTED. the iof is full of cops. the iof TRAINS COPS. even if youre only focused on one issue, which apparently you are, attack it from multiple angles.

  • Thickened liquids (honey or nectar thick) are for people who have difficulty swallowing. Thin liquids can make people choke.
  • Pre-cut vegetables are for people with fine motor skill issues who can’t safely/easily cut up their foods. It’s also helpful for executive dysfunction as cooking takes less steps if your ingredients are pre-prepared.
  • Any device helping you get shoes/socks/clothes on is for people with mobility issues who cannot reach or manipulate the item correctly onto their body.
  • A liquid diet is a specific diet for GI problems, I believe. This can also be helpful for swallowing issues and executive function issues.

This is not a comprehensive list of everything that these items help with.

Regardless, all of these things are for disabled people and it is

Listen to me on this okay

These all promote people’s independence and help them function!

Chillout about something not being useful to you.

Are we supposed to get rid of glasses because they don’t help you personally??Are we supposed to stop giving people insulin because you would go hypoglycemic?? Are we supposed to get rid of hair ties because you’re bald??

Regardless, all of

these things are for disabled

people and it is

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

Why do people need subtitles to watch a show in English? I don't get it. What is wrong with the ears of young people?

Modern movies and shows tend to have very unbalanced mixing. Also, a common trend in modern movies is more realistic dialogue (mumbling) that is not as crisp as it was in previous eras of film making.

My audio processing isn't as fast as my visual processing, and I'm dyslexic. Between hearing things and seeing the text, I can understand what's going on. If I only have one or the other it's a lot harder.

My kid is practicing the flute and the ice maker is right behind my computer.

I've found that on days when my chronic fatigue is bad, using subtitles makes watching movies and shows less exhausting.

English is still, after all these years, not my first language.

I have found that several of the above are true, but I first started using closed captions because sometimes the accents in Doctor Who are a little more British than I can follow comfortably.

All of this, and more.

Also, some people are, in fact, deaf.

I started using closed captions in grad school, and the lounge across from the Disability Student Services office (Which had a TV set up on a table, where someone in a wheelchair could reach the controls) was also the room where people gathered to study and chat. And the captions allowed me to watch the shows I wanted without disturbing them.

in light of police across the country cracking down on pro palestine protests with brutal force, it feels like a great time to remind everyone to shut the fuck up around cops. don't make small talk, dont act friendly, don't fucking engage with them!! if you are arrested DO NOT speak without a lawyer present. protest organizers, get into contact with local pro bono lawyers who can be there for your arrested comrades. no matter what, if cops are there, shut the fuck up unless you are actively doing a protest chant. dont tell cops why you were there, dont tell them if you're affiliated with the school you may be protesting at, dont tell them if you came there with anyone, dont tell them anything!!!

Also: do not use biometric security on your phone if you take it with you to a protest. Cops are allowed to force you to unlock your phone (or hold you down and do it). Use a passcode, then refuse to unlock it.

Cops are not your friend.
