Boris Groh is one of my favorite artists, mostly because of his works that feature LARGE skeletons just doing their thing

This is by far my most successful post on tumblr and I am really fucking glad because my main man Boris deserves to be recognized for his work. Even if its mostly getting passed around in the form of memes about cheese.

Things about being disabled that aren’t in the handbook

-Having to re-book appointments because you’re having physical pain.

-Being depressed and missing appointments.

-Feeling too anxious to call to make appointments.

-Forgetting about appointments because of executive function/memory issues.

-Forgetting to make appointments. (Executive dysfunction)

-Delaying services because you just keep forgetting to book appointments!

-Two year long waiting lists for diagnoses that are uncommon and painful and/or mentally draining.

-Literally no financial support for diagnosis from the government if you’re an adult with disabilities.

-Being unable to do things with friends because of your chronic fatigue/pain.

-People questioning your disabilities because you haven’t been “officially diagnosed”.

-People who think they can fix your disabilities by being gluten free/cupping/herbal remedies/acupuncture/reiki/drinking more water etc.

Feel free to reblog and add more things!

- Input from total strangers on how to manage disabilities without their actual knowing anything about how they affect you.

- Giving yourself endless shit for any of the above.

- Anxiety about becoming “too much” for the people who love you.

- Suppressing any outward show of your symptoms in case it’s somehow rude to be in pain, or depressed, or scared.

- A lot of crying in the dark, on your own, in your bed. That feeling of tear-soaked pillow on the side of your face when nobody even knows you might need comforting so nobody will come and help you feel better.

- Getting up in the morning and putting on the “everything is okay” mask, again and again and again so as not to be an inconvenience.

Pointing to what I want on my five dollar footlong

Fun story I had a customer come in at my college subway location at about 2am on a saturday, it was a 20 something year old student high as balls (naturally). This kid wasn’t just high, he was off his ass, he was higher than snoop on April 20th, his eyes were clamshells. I asked him what he wanted and I could see the gears turning in his head but he absolutely couldn’t get anything out. This guy was too high to talk, and I’m surprised he even made it down the street to our store. Obviously I’ve been here before so no problem, I tell the dude I’ve got this and to just point at what he wants, and he commences to just go down the line pointing at the bread and meats and veggies like this damn reaper, leading me on the biggest game of hot and cold I’ve ever played. In the end his sandwich racked up like 15 dollars in extra charges but I think we gave it to him for free. There is no moral to this story.

When customers walked into Edeka supermarket in Hamburg recently, they were surprised to find that the shelves were almost empty, and the small handful of products that remained were all made in Germany. It seemed like the supermarket had simply forgotten to restock their produce until customers saw the mysterious signs left around the shop. “So empty is a shelf without foreigners,” read one sign at the cheese counter. “This shelf is quite boring without variety,” read another.

It turns out that Edeka, in a rather controversial move, had opted to solely sell German food for a day in order to make a powerful statement about racism and ethnic diversity. As a result, there were no Greek olives, no Spanish tomatoes, and very little of anything else that can normally be found in a typical modern household. “Edeka stands for diversity, and we produce a wide range of food in our assortment, which is produced in the different regions of Germany,” said an Edeka spokesman. “But it is together with products from other countries that we create the unique diversity that our customers value.” (Source)

do this in America and nothing will remain

A very powerful statement about how cultural diversity has added to our lives!

Troop 6000 is the first in New York City designated solely for homeless girls. 

The new troop is among a number of programs begun by the city to meet the needs of children, who make up nearly 40 percent of the roughly 60,000 people in the city’s primary shelter system. Of 287 people housed at the Sleep Inn, 155 are under 18, according to homeless services.

The Girl Scouts of Greater New York is covering the costs for Troop 6000: a $25 membership fee; a $75 starter kit of patches, pins, workbooks and vests; and the $20 monthly dues. Donations are being accepted.

These girls deserve a better life.They’re amazing and beautiful and they are so kind. They want to grow up and be able to help other homeless people , to build shelters and save lives. These noble thoughts should not drown in poverty and the lack of opportunities for homeless people. We are the community we should help each other and fight for equal rights and opportunities, because unity is the only way to survive.
