Part-time feminist vlogger, full-time sass machine. 25. I host an intersectional series called Feminist Fridays. I'm just a small potato trying her best.

having a job is very weird bcos by and large your coworkers will be a variety of ages and you will not all be at the same stage of life. your coworker will be like, well I’m off home to spend time with my husband & child, what are you going to do with your evening? and you’re like, well, I plan on playing Rollercoaster Tycoon for as much as it as possible

i fuckin hate that emoji face that’s laughing and crying at the same time, people will put it on literally anything like my friends were planning a picnic and someone was like ‘i’ll bring some crisps’ and used that face as if you would actually laugh so hard that u cried at the idea of bringing crisps to a picnic

Is there an actual reason for why every Gamestop is so damn small? Everytime I go in one it’s like walking inside someone’s closet

Simulates the aesthetic of basement

What do you think about the sex strike? Why do you think women who have sex with men (mediocre sex at that) are reluctant to give it up?

Because that completely misses the fucking point.

What could a frog possibly have done to get scolded

If You’re Gonna Make Something Wheelchair Accessible, Don’t Make it a Thing

Here’s some examples awkward accessibility being a thing:

Your at a hotel that has a lift to get you from one sub-floor to another, but the lift can only be unlocked and operated by one specific person that the hotel now has to go find. Sure, they’ve made the entrance to the sub-floor is accessible, but now it’s a thing.

The buses are wheelchair accessible but the driver has to stop the bus, take 30 seconds to lower the goddamn ramp, move passengers out of their seats, hook up the straps and then secure you in the bus. Sure, they’ve made the busses accessible but now it’s a thing.

The restaurant has an accessible entrance, but it’s past the trash room and through the kitchen. Sure, the restaurant is accessible, but now it’s an insulting thing.

Here’s some great examples of accessibility not being a thing:

The train to the airport pulls up flush with the platform. I board with everyone else and sit wherever the fuck I want. Riding the train is accessible and not a thing.

In Portland, I press a button the side of the streetcar and a ramp automatically extends at the same time the door opens. I board in the same amount of time as everyone else. This is not a thing.

I get that it is difficult to design for wheelchair accessibility, but folks need to start considering the overall quality of the experience versus just thinking about meeting the minimum requirements.

Do you have any thoughts on the Johnny Depp development? I'm wary because I'm seeing so many trending posts/discussions by people who clearly don't understand all the ways in which abuse can work, making false claims about what certain things mean. There's also a lot of hypocrisy happening with people criticising cancel culture then in the same breath cancelling Heard and treating Depp like an angel, even though there's a pattern of behaviour appearing for both of them. Idk man

Ugh. Yeah. It’s really frustrating and difficult to navigate. However, I’ve lived in environments where multiple parties participate in abuse, and one person’s abusive behavior doesn’t make the other person’s okay. There are toxic relationships that devolve into abuse from both/all sides, and they’re shitty all around. I think it’s possible to be both victimized and a perpetrator of abuse at the same time. Abuse is a behavior, often a pattern of behavior (but isolated incidents do happen). Anyone is capable of engaging in abusive behaviors, and it’s necessary to actively unlearn toxic communication styles that have been modeled for us. There seems to be this idea that suddenly Johnny Depp is off the hook, but like, that’s still two people resorting to physical abuse to get what they want. However, there are still so many hypotheticals right now, and none of us are close enough to the situation to make a definitive judgment. The strict victim/perpetrator binary does not help anyone.
