I prefer masculine pronouns but gender neutral are fine too
I usually queue instead of reblogging

I've got several issues with the proposed Tumblr blackout, but chief among them is the fact that it lands on the first day of Disabled Pride Month and the fact that there are people calling for it to become indefinite when disabled folks already have limited access to their communities, and many of us are losing what little reliable access we have because of places like Reddit going dark.

Like... idk. Maybe I'm being uncharitable. But the prioritization of ensuring Pride is minimally interfered with while the first day of Disability Pride is just taken away is rubbing me the wrong way.

And just to be clear. I don't think anyone is doing it intentionally. But I also think that's the problem. No one thinks about disabled people except other disabled people. I wish they would.

Isn't this the one where the CO2 levels get high enough to cause a lil brain damage?

very close! 1,400 ppm is the standard for unhealthy levels of carbon dioxide, where the air quality will cut your cognitive ability in half.

the air at anime expo got above 4,000 ppm.

AX attendees got a little more than a little brain damage. as a treat

Pride month over, yes, yes, however, it's now disability pride month!

Remember to listen to and uplift disabled creators this month, yeah? c]:^)

If you have bodily autonomy, then there is always a chance that you will do something to your body that you will regret. This is not an argument for taking that autonomy away.

Some facts:

1) Black Americans created jazz. 2) Jewish Americans created comic books. 3) These things are said to be the only original American art forms.

4) black Americans invented rock and roll.

5) Black AND Jewish Americans created musical theatre.

stepped on a plum (overripe plum) (barefoot) it was on the driveway got out of the car and accidentally (didn't know it was there) stepped on the plum (warm) (on the ground) (it had fallen from the tree) barefoot (no shoes) wearing long pants (too long) (need to hem them) plum viscera got on them (the pants) unexpected plum on the driveway (hot plum) (97 degrees out) already super hungover (throwing up all morning) (should not have been driving at all) and I stepped out of the car (black car) (97 degrees out) and onto the plum (unexpected) (didn't know the plum was there) and it burst (plum nightmare on my only good pair of sweatpants) still we find ways to keep ourselves going from day to day
