That’s a terrifying answer, have a nice day

Disability Pride Month 07-23-20: villain?

(though a spider chair WOULD be pretty rad)

[ID: 2 digitally painted comic panels. /Image 1: Top text reads: “DISABLED PEOPLE IN MOVIES:” Panel depicts a bipedal crocodile without a left leg sitting in a robotic chair that has six spider-like legs. She grins and raises her hands in victory as she says: “I’m suffering all the time, so I’m going to make everyone else suffer! mwahahahaha” In the foreground is a bipedal dingo labeled “‘hero,’” who cries and points at the crocodile. She says: “I think different bodies are scary!” /Image 2: Top text reads: “DISABLED PEOPLE IN REAL LIFE:” Panel depicts the same characters in a different scene. The crocodile uses crutches and makes a purchase in a store. The dingo is in the background, gaping and pointing at the crocodile’s crutches. The crocodile says: “can u stop” /END ID]

Picture this, you're stressed out because Covid and climate change finds you out of a job and now you can't pay for dental work so as you listen to the hold music to the dental clinic to cancel your wisdom teeth surgery you log into tumblr to calm your nerves only to be greeted by a Destiel meme informing you that the word flashing is banned and you realise fellow tumblr users can't use a warning for post that could trigger your epilepsy. Imagine this, you're now afraid and there's nothing you can do, no tag to filter out, no warning to safe you.

the phrase ‘pulsing lights’ has been suggested as a workaround.  I know I will be using it. Your safety is important to me.

!!!!! I don't care if you've already rebloged this, reblog again and get the phrase 'pulsing lights' on blast to save an epileptic's life. This is a serious matter and should be brought to staff and apples attention !!!!!

Holy shit guys, I wasn't expecting this to blow up, over 7.5k notes in less than 12hrs. I wish I could've worded it better and not some angry self-indulgent rant when I originally posted it but thankfully I've gotten so many helpful comments/tags from so many users on here.

As frustrating as it is to have to filter out many tags instead of just one or two specific tags, I have been able to find different work arounds from the wonderful ppl who have rebloged my original post. Here are some I've seen meantioned a few times.

Strobe alert

Eye strain

Eyestrain

Strobing lights

Epilepsy warning

Strobe lights

Also, and I haven't really fact check this for obvious reasons, but adding a period (.) at the end off the work "flashing" is a good work around too.

Please do not use 'epilepsy' tag as a warning, for epileptics use that tag to communicate about their own health within the epileptic community.

as a photosensitive migraineur, I add many thanks to this and ask my followers to spread and apply it

2021 lasted 5 seconds and those 5 seconds lasted 20 years that felt like only a few months i hope that clears things up

Except for Boat Stuck, that was six days of beautiful clarity in march

shout out to every one still wearing their mask, no matter if mandatory or not. everyone who used their privilege to get their vaccine and booster shot. everyone who is careful to still follow the rules on social distancing. everyone who missed out on some kind of fun or thing they looked forward to because it did not seem right in the middle of a pandemic (and might have even gotten mocked as stuck up). all of this has been so long and frustrating but it would be way worse if It weren’t for you, so thank you so much for carrying on for all of us. 

also little addition that feels relevant: it is totally valid to feel angry, disappointed, sad or all at once right now, and to hate every single one of the restrictions that are in force in your place, and to wish that things were different and to feel sorry for the cuts you are making (yes, even if they only concern small, not life- changing things. yes, even if it is just not being able to have coffee with your friends at your favourite cafe). None of this does not make you selfish or self-centred, and it does not make your efforts worth any less. Those e-mails weren’t lying, these are trying times. 

This is horrible advice and will get someone killed.

why? genuinely asking

Literally every episode of My Cat from Hell

Neatly summarized as: people not knowing how to properly take care of cats

The episodes that don’t conform to this formula are also always the most interesting. These situations include:

1) I Didn’t Know My Cat Had PTSD and Has Gone Blind.

2) Your Cats Fight Because One of Them Doesn’t Know How to Speak Cat, and They’re Both Kinda Mad/Confused About It. 

3) Your Cat Sprays Everywhere? Get Them Fixed. Surprise Twist: They Were Fixed But It Was a Botched Operation.

4) We’re Going to Rescue 50+ Kittens, Take Them to Vegas, and Adopt Them All To Loving Homes.

5) This is Not a Cat. This is a Dog. 

Hang on what was number five?

@libertarirynn   #5 was - 

THATS A DOG?

anyone else feel like they missed about 85% of 2021

I remember a boat and that’s about it.

The boat was this year??

he did stay in the bed after i put it back down ;w;

before anyone’s like “gimme da baby” I will happily share the baby

[ID: a doodle comic showing a person sitting at a drawing tablet, looking down at a small gray cat kneading a fuzzy pink cat bed. The person thinks to themself; “I want to go get a drink but Shu will follow me to the kitchen and he just got in his little bed…” The second panel shows the person walking, holding a coke can in one hand and the cat wrapped in his bed like a burrito under their other arm. they have a big smile and an arrow pointing to them that says “Genius”.

The second is a photo of the real cat, curled up on the fluffy pink cat bed. end ID]

yo it’s literally november 3rd. what’s next the 4th? and then. no it can’t be.

I hope when y’all say end fatphobia and abolish conventional beauty standards you’re including disabled people too. I’m talking people with deformities, I’m talking people who can’t lose weight because they’re in a wheelchair, I’m talking people who can’t exercise because they have chronic pain or migraines, I’m talking people who are deathly thin, I’m talking people missing limbs. We aren’t freaky or ugly looking. We deserve love but even more importantly we deserve your respect.

“Trying out sex” is not how you confirm or deny your asexuality. It might help you decide whether or not you enjoy sex. It might even help you decide which gender you prefer to have sex with.

But it will not, under any circumstances, confirm someone’s asexuality.

Because asexuality is not about whether or not you like sex. It’s about whether or not you experience sexual attraction.

Stop telling asexual people to “give it a try.” 

Stop questioning asexuals based on their sexual history or lack thereof.

You are missing the point.

I haven't seen dancing pumpkin guy ONCE this year, are you guys okay?

FINE! I'll do it myself

the trope of 'this entity exists only because we think it does' is so so so fucking good and cannot be overdone in my opinion

like the idea that you built the monster hunting you, that you invited the entity into our world, that your fear is what it feeds on, and that once made real, it cannot possibly be killed because you're stuck in this loop of 'he's real because i'm scared' and 'i'm scared because he's real'

damn you guys remember at the beginning of 2021 when we thought it was gonna be a better year than 2020? and then we immediately had the hornet storm? i really miss living on the surface

date of origin: 9th of october, 2021.

Op if this happens I will brave the hornet storms in a beekeepers suit to hunt you down

the actual date of origin is October 28, 2020, but now I’m filled with fear for October 9, 2021

*“queuing this up in nov 14 2020” voice* Welp, time to find out whether I should’ve been in fear or not! :D

the results are in: can’t be in fear if i’ve been in frustration over the fact that we’re still in fear for months

to all the queer kids who have parents who aren't openly homophobic but still not Nice about their queerness. Its okay to feel mad about it. Just because you're in a physically safe place doesn't mean that it can't be frustrating and heartbreaking to not be accepted. to feel like you have to shove yourself into a box to be loved. your feelings are valid. you deserve all the proud acceptance in the world

people should just embrace jewel tones already if I see one more house entirely decorated in washed out neutral colours I’m gonna sue someone

hell is not a fiery demon pit its a never ending white and cream minimalist apartment, every time someone paints a room entirely white and adds a pale blue throw cushion for “a splash of colour” they are carrying out the work of the devil

#fuck resale values my mental health comes first

Writing one’s home-nesting tendencies around resale value is itself playing into the Devil’s hands.

Paint your walls. Install catwalks for your kitties. Transform your home into a hobbit-hole or the innermost chambers of a D&D dungeon owned by a particularly campy lich. Grow a rainforest of plants in your southern-exposure window rooms or strangle your house in vines.

Horrify the Petunia Dursleys of the world by your mere existence, and be happy.

A while ago Facebook kept trying to advertise some kind of design magazine/website to me with an article “The Most Colour-Soaked Home We’ve Ever Seen” and I finally clicked the link and all the pictures were a bunch of white and off-white rooms with a couple of vases and books in bright colours scattered around. Like bitch you’re advertising this to me in Atlantic Canada we don’t do “splashes of colour” we let the floodgates open. Your lame-ass pallid designs have no power here.

When it’s foggy 350 days of the year, you’ve got to be able to pick out your own house from a distance. 

,,,,Fuck

I almost started crying because?????? They’re so pretty??????????????

This is where I’m from! 😁 The first picture of the colourful row houses is called “Jellybean Row”. How cute is that, right?

Very!

So many TV shows/movies depict the Epi Pen as a total solution for anaphylaxis...it's not. The Epi Pen gives you 30 minutes to get to a hospital where they can save your life. TV makes it look like you just have to use the Epi Pen and then the crisis is over. Do people without allergies or a loved one with allergies know that an Epi Pen only buys you time? The more I see this on TV the more I worry...

**Maybe you should reblog this because I'm actually worried that most people don't know.

Omg so much this! I have to use my epipens about three times a year and my doctor recommends I shoot both of them in my thigh and then call an ambulance! They are a STABILISER not a cure!!

Since a lot of people don't know this, I'll point out that Narcan works the same way. It's not a one-and-done. It buys you time for the EMTs to show up.
