why when able bodied fans draw canonically disabled chair-user characters do they have the abled partner sitting on their lap? i would kill someone if they touched my cane or sat on me in my chair

THIS SHIT IS INFINITELY MORE ROMANTIC THAN SITTING ON TOP OF YOUR DISABLED PARTNER. THE TENDERNESS INVOLVED IN HOLDING YOUR PARTNERS HAND, IN BEING CONSIDERATE OF THEIR SPACE, IN MAKING SURE THEY FEEL SAFE AND LOVED. i’m not going to go as far as saying stop having able bodied people sit on top of their disabled partners but know i’m disabled and would never consider it. i would absolutely get hurt

i hold the same viewpoint on able bodied partners carrying their disabled partner for no reason. my body is a fragile thing, easily broken. it has to be protected even from people with the best intentions. meet me at my level instead of taking me to yours

My conversations with children
Okay as a fifth year education major in a wheelchair who is constantly around very curious kids and very paranoid parents, this is single-handedly the greatest video I have ever seen!

A gentle reminder that accepting disabled people doesn’t mean ignoring their disabilities.
“That happens sometimes.”
that’s what I’m always saying: kids, especially young kids, don’t need every detail explained to them. generally speaking, they will accept what a trusted adult tells them. so if you tell them “yeah, sometimes, people lose their legs”, they will just accept that. I mean, they accept a woman with wings breaking into their room while they sleep to buy their teeth from them, but somehow, parents think “yeah, people that are different from you exist” is too much of a concept for them to grasp
kids don’t need every detail but some kids might need more detail so they don’t think the leg will just fall off
Anonymous asked:
You know what we need more of? Fat women in Victorian-era stories. Some people have this idea that every woman back then was thin "because corsets", but there are plenty of period photos with large women in Victorian dress.
yes yes YES
gorgeous lady!
Ivan Markov painting circa 1870. this girl is lovely, if not trying very hard with her maenad costume
this woman is probably some sort of performer, judging by her many tattoos, but there are plenty of photos floating around of thin Victorian performers, so here’s some representation of a less-than-proper larger lady
more on the average-sized side, but she has a taxidermied cat on her head and I feel that deserves to be seen by as many people as possible because I’m so confused
my beloved French fashion dolls, while their waists are fairly slender, almost always have little molded double chins that suggest a more ample size contained by a corset
actually all of the women in the photos above are wearing corsets. so why don’t larger corsets and garments survive in the same numbers as their smaller counterparts? for the same reason that mediums and larges are harder to find than smalls when shopping- more people wore those sizes, so they got snapped up quickly and worn until they gave out. larger clothes were more expensive then as now, so they would have been kept until they pretty much fell apart
you’re absolutely right, anon. as today, Victorian women came in all shapes and sizes

Zendaya presented her first collection with Tommy Hilfiger in Paris with a soulful backdrop of music and featuring an all-black cast of models.
The actress, singer and now fashion designer wanted to pay homage to the black women who have paved the way for her success.
With the encouragement of her creative partner and stylist, Law Roach, Zendaya decided to go for it. She told Hilfiger, “I want to make a show inspired by the women who made it possible for me to be in the position where I am now. Honestly, I just wanted to say “thank you” to them through this show.
Her show included a cast of 59 black models, from 18 to 70 years old. Icons such as Beverly Johnson, Veronica Webb, Beverly Peele, Pat Cleveland, and Grace Jones participated in the legendary show.
Not only were all the models black women, there was full body and age diversity with hair and makeup by iconic black pioneers Pat McGrath and Kim Kimble.

Erica Shenk is featured here on the cover of Women’s Running Magazine.
It’s so rare to see diverse body types represented in mainstream fitness media, and this absolutely needs to change.
Everyone should feel included in physical fitness, and everyone should be able to envision themselves as athletes.
