Since a few people have asked for white cane awareness day , here are some tips on how you can respect and help white cane users:

  • Don't panic or try to dart around us as fast as you can if we're coming your way. Try saying hi and telling us what side you're yielding on instead. Edit: if you can't move out of the way, that's fine, please give a verbal heads up! We don't mind accommodating other disabled people at all .
  • Don't do that thing where people try to go completely silent and unnoticed. It's more helpful if we can know where other people are in a space, and it's pretty freaky when people intentionally try to hide from us.
  • Don't touch our canes without asking, especially if we are actively using it. Our canes are our way of interacting with the world and staying safe, interruptions are disorienting and dangerous. It would be like getting poked in both your eyes.
  • Don't ask us if we're lost just because we have a cane.
  • Politely offering help for things like crossing a street is great, but always respect it if we say no and never just grab us.
  • If we have a funky coloured cane or decorations on it, compliments are definitely welcome!
  • Watch your toes for your own sake. We don't want to whack you but it happens sometimes!
  • Be patient if we take longer to navigate or explore things. Sometimes it's necessary and other times it's our way of making up for what we can't see with what we can feel and hear.

Other white cane users, please feel free to add on and thank you for being considerate!

fun fact!! it turns out that now when u make a new blog, tumblr forces you to follow 3-4 people before you can change your icon or modify your blog in any way!! this, of course, means that, yes, some of the "potential bots" many of us have been automatically blocking could have possibly been genuine new users who were only just seconds in to having an account!!! tumblr is literally screwing new users over!!!!

genuinely think that most bad takes on fiction online stem from the fact that people don't engage with fiction as a constructed art form and instead view it as somehow generated from the ether

a TONNNN of fandom people particularly begin and end their conversations with "[character] or [event] is problematic" or "[character]'s actions make no sense] or even "wow I love [character!!!]" without analyzing in the slightest what literary devices were employed and to what effect. this is kinda okay if you're just talking about a character you like, but it can still lead to pitfalls in your understanding of the overall story, and that's ESPECIALLY apparent with some "criticisms" i see of certain characters in stories.

bc guess what! characters are storytelling tools! they're fun, sure, and if you know me you know i LOVE to rotate some little guys in my brain. but characters, just like everything else, are elements of a broader story. and it can sometimes be a very reductive criticism to be like "[character] is a bad person" if you don't grasp that they were constructed by an author.

like okay, WHY are they a bad person? does the narrative condone their actions? are they presented uncritically as a good person? did the author intend for them to be seen as a bad person? are there biases, good or bad, in how the author presents this character, especially compared with other characters?

also: what role do they play in the broader narrative? do their actions have thematic weight? what about tone? is this work intended to be comedic or dramatic? does that make their actions have different weight due to that? why?

a story is not (usually) just a simple retelling of events that happened in an author's dream. characters and events are intentionally written. and sometimes they can pack quite a lot of unintentional baggage with them! but you have to start at base 1 of understanding that characters often exist in conversation with a work's themes before you can get to the real juicy criticisms

"donate to gaza" "humanitarian aid to gaza" "raise money for gaza" and egypt, gaza's neighbor that has the only border through which aid can get through, cannot currently get aid through to gaza because israel is refusing to let the trucks pass. the gate was supposed to open three hours ago in a deal struck between egypt and the US to let foreign gaza nationals out and humanitarian aid in. now israel is denying it. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said in a statement: "There is currently no truce and humanitarian aid in Gaza in exchange for getting foreigners out." and this is after israel bombed the border crossing three times in the past week. this is the reality that's happening right now. the tonnes of aid that countries are donating, the money the EU is promising, all of this is NOT GETTING THROUGH TO GAZA. if egyptians cannot get through to gaza, nobody can!!!!! the only fucking way this happens is through international pressure to hold israel accountable and that is currently not happening!!!

this is genocide. israel is a fascist state with genocidal maniacs in charge, and they want gazans obliterated, they want gaza gone. this is genocide happening right in front of us. and the entire first world has sanctioned it.

USA citizens: This will put you on a call. I know you don't want to do a phone call, but it's simple, no pressure, and the system they have set up will handle everything.

  • Put in your info
  • you'll receive a call that will put you in contact with your senators and representative
  • They have a script that will allow you to leave a message.
  • DONT HANG UP! press star and it'll move you onto the next call.

It's quick, painless, and it's something you can actually do that might help.
