I held onto this for six whole months. It was soooo hard waiting.

Imagine if pride disk horse was about accessibility for disabled LGBT people instead of Gays Going Ultra Conservative.
You're all scared of seeing a dude in a thong meanwhile disabled LGBT people are forced to either sacrifice our bodily wellness in silence or stay in perpetual isolation and no one other than ourselves bats an eye.

My dog’s favourite time of year is back.
the crushing guilt of being unproductive vs the exhaustion of being burned out. fight.
Plot twist: if you are tired and burned out, resting is literally the most productive thing you can do. You ain’t gonna get shit done when you’re burned out. If you do, it’ll take three times as long, take even more energy out of you, and will also suck because you were too tired to do it well. When you’re too tired to do the things you want/need to do, resting is the first step.
IF YOU ARE TIRED AND BURNED OUT, RESTING IS LITERALLY THE MOST PRODUCTIVE THING YOU CAN DO.
yall. this isn’t a joke. if i can tell a 5 yr old “my dog is working, please let her be” and they understand then you can too. those dogs ARE working. they have a job to do. and when we say ‘leave them alone’ that includes making faces at them and baby talking them. literally act like they are just someone’s bag or something. if you distract them they could fail to alert their owner to a seizure or blood sugar issue or allergen. you are literally jeopardizing someone’s life bc you can’t have basic decency, respect, and self control.
SAY IT LOUDER
am I allowed to tell the person I’m proud of the dog? Or should I just not bring up the dog?
Ignore the dog. Do not mention the dog.
Would you walk up to a stranger and be like “Oh damn your wheelchair is doing such a hecking good job being a wheelchair you go lil buddy!” no? then don’t do it to service animals that are clearly wearing their vest/collar/harness whatever it is that marks them as service animals

Service…..animals…..are…..legally…..classified…..as…..assistive…..devices…..
Y’all literally do not care how many disabled people you kill and how many disabled lives you ruin - you want to coo at and pet the cute dog.
Here, if you want a comparison that isn’t an object: I worked as a caregiver for people with developmental (usually accompanied by physical) disabilities. My job was to accompany them into the community for various activities including shopping, dining, and leisure activities. And everywhere we went people would come up to ME and tell me what a good person I was, what a great service I was providing, god bless me, etc. Not only was it embarrassing for both me and my consumers, it was distracting! I was supposed to be paying attention to my consumers and their needs, which could often change rapidly depending on their conditions, and instead I was having to deal with some prick who felt the need to voice what a martyr I was for doing my job. And they’d usually get angry if I ignored them or informed them they were distracting me from my job, which sounds familiar.
So yeah. Leave. The Dog. Alone. All you’re doing is making yourself feel good while distracting the dog from its job and endangering the person it’s supposed to be helping.
Question: I know service dogs are for a variety of maladies (I hope that’s not offensive, if so plz correct me) so is it wrong to even go up to the person and calmly tell them their dog is cute and ask them to give them a pet for me later when they’re off the clock? Without actually giving the dog attention?
What exactly is it about “Ignore the dog. Do not mention the dog.” that y’all aren’t grasping.
Oh right. It’s not what you want to do so you’re just going to keep trying to weasel your way around it. Because fuck disabled people, it’s a cute dog.
What’s really getting me is that all of these “but what if I” examples blatantly involve inserting yourself into a disabled person’s life just to get to their dog. Like

people love talking to my dog or asking questions while we’re in line and therefore can’t just leave. if we’re in line chances are I feel terrible, he’s doing his job and I’m trying not to fall on the floor I do not have the time or energy to answer questions. he knows he’s a good boy and that he’s very smart. I know he’s doing a good job. I should not have to worry about people petting him when I’m having tachycardia and actively need him to do his job. just leave us and our dofs alone
disabled people: leave me and my assistive devices including service animals and caregivers and aides alone
ableds: but what if-
disabled people: leave me and my assistive devices alone
ableds: but what if-
disabled people: what part of “leave me and my assistive devices alone” are you not understanding here
Ableds: But I don’t want to.
People, this isn’t like when you see a stranger and ask if you can pet their dog. Those vests are there for a reason, you should already know that you can’t pet the dog. And yes, some disabilities don’t require around the clock supervision. But you don’t know which one the person has, it’s pretty offensive to ask, and the last way you want to find out is by distracting the dog at the wrong time.
Side note: If you’re one of those people who pet dogs without even asking their owner’s permission, learn some manners already.
Sounds about white
y’all, the racist restaurants are outing themselves and you’re really going to give them shit about it? this is a perfect list of establishments to run into the ground, and they’re handing it to you free of charge.
conversely, if a space is marked “unsafe” on the app, you know it IS safe for anyone with common human decency and can be happy with your dining experience knowing you will be protected by staff and other patrons if a MAGAsshole wanders into your midst.

I’ve watched this so many times today
As someone who ran track and cross country for 4 years in high school, this always fucking mystified me the most out of all the insane shit PE had us do.
Track and field club taught all new runners how to properly warm up, stretch, pace, etc. Its a process, and doing it properly takes 15-20 minutes to make sure your body is ready so you dont hurt yourself.
PE didnt do jack shit, they just said "go run a mile" so 70% of the fucking kids sprinted flat out the first lap and basically walked the other 3. Multiple people did it in boots or tennis shoes. I'm amazed more of them didnt pull a muscle or worse in the process.
I dont know what the purpose of PE was, but it sure as shit wasnt proper exercise. And I think a lot of people suffered for that. If they spent the time teaching us about the importance of physical health, proper nutrition, how to safely stretch/exercise, etc, we would all be better off now.
Let's be real, PE exists to shame and torture the fat kids, and for pretty much no other reason.
this one?
Some guy just mansplained space to an actual fucking astronaut.
tfw correcting misinformation is written off as mansplaining
tfw when idiots on tumblr who know jack shit about thermo assume the dude is ‘correcting misinformation’ when actually he’s dead ass wrong. ‘Spontaneous’ is a scientific term - it means a reaction with a negative Gibb’s free energy, i.e. a reaction that will occur without an external energy input, i.e. water boiling because of low atmospheric pressure. Spontaneous is absolutely the correct term for what she’s observing, and that is ‘simple thermo’, and this is ‘correcting misinformation’.
Have a nice day.
