it's always "don't repeat the cycle" and "beware of the cycle" and never How was the cycle was it fun to be in the cycle
I know NPCs explain events to Link for expository reasons, even if he either was most likely or 100% certainly was present for the events discussed, but the number of watsonian explanations as to why all have multiple shades of amusing.
Like the first possible one is that after having Amnesia once, people just ere on the side caution for reminding Link, which can be anywhere between endearing or low key a dick move.
Another is simply an extrapolation of the major Tony Hawk effect he's been experiencing. Like... people genuinely forget when Link is present for events. Symin tells Link "Did you know Zelda built this school?" The man is practically glued to the woman. He follows her around like he's her body guard or something. But in the back of everyone's memories they just see

Even when they know and recognize Link they just have a habit of forgetting about him.

Yall do NOT hop on a cosmetic surgery hate train during an ongoing campaign against trans Healthcare I am fucking begging
My tits didn't smaller themselves, fuckos. Either you believe in bodily autonomy or you fucking don't.
The sacred bond between trans people who've had plastics and cis people who have had plastics is fucking sacred and I will not tolerate anybody in the queer community trash-talking plastics no matter what it is and who is getting them and for what reason!!!
I want there to not be a line between 'costmetic' and 'necessary'. If there's a line, then insurance companies and whoever-the-fuck-else will decide everything is 'cosmetic'. That happened to me with getting my jaw rebuilt when I was A CHILD. 'oh it's cosmetic' My insurance wrangler lady and the surgeon had to write SEVERAL LETTERS to the damn insurance company detailing out just how graphically I would DIE if I did not get my face rebuilt before I was 18! If 'we won't pay for cosmetic plastics only necessary ones' wasn't a thing, that wouldn't have had to fucking happen!
So you know what? I don't want to hear the word 'cosmetic' out of anyone's mouth. it's ALL just plastics. And all plastics are still 100% the person's choice to get, I don't care what the reason is, all reasons are your business and should be honoured and that's as it should be. As Sweaterkittens said, you either believe in bodily autonomy or you fucking don't.
Signed,
A Transman who has had exclusively plastics for all FOUR major surgeries throughout his life.
i understand that this is the "disabled people know our own limitations" website, but ime, if you are the kind of disabled where everyone around you knows about it and has known you as a weak, incompetent, subhuman creature your entire life: it is important to learn how to make the distinction between "i can't" and "i'm not allowed to."
"i can't hold fragile things without breaking them" vs "my housemates won't let me do dishes anymore."
"i can't manage my own finances" vs "my family won't let me make my own financial decisions"
"i can't ever learn how to drive" vs "the state has decided that people with my disability cannot be allowed to drive."
also "what would need to happen for it to be possible for me to be able to do dishes?" or "what would i need if i were to ever move out?" or "what kinds of supports would i need if i did try volunteering?"
even if the answer to these you come away with is "i actually cannot do the thing, no matter what supports or accommodations i'm given" that's fine! they're still useful questions to ask!
there’s a significant number of disabled people who are victims of all kinds of abuses from those around them, but one of the most pervasive kinds that makes me seethe with the simmering anger of 9 dads with a mouse that’s playing up a bit is the financial abuse
there’s so many examples of this abuse in occurring in different ways from people I’ve known at various stages in my life, but the common thread always seems to be getting given an allowance from a bank account that’s in your name but you’re not allowed access to
solving the issue isn’t easy as someone who has access to your bank account and who won’t give you the full transaction history for the past few years is not at all likely going to be understanding when you provide the information about your situation to the bank
it’s a complete and utter mess and I don’t even know how to begin thinking about ways out of situations like that
people who exploit those that they should be helping lead a fulfilling life for a meagre amount of spare change should get put on the upper tax bracket that people in the US paid in the 1940s and then forced to live lives that are completely managed by someone else
Part of the reason I made this post is that I am 26 and work full time in a professional, salaried position, and yet my family won’t let me manage my bank account. I have to deposit my completely-livable paychecks into an account where my dad can see every purchase I make.
For years, I thought I was just not capable of managing money, and that it wouldn’t be possible for me to have my own bank account. But I’m just starting to realize that this situation is a little bit fucked up
The 2024 republican primary is gonna be buck wild.
De Santis: "Hello median American voter, the only thing I have for you is transphobia."
Trump: "Ron De-sanctamonius you're little pudding fingers boy."
Biden: "Back in Scranton we used to make a thing called Dirt Nachos."
Why is Biden in the Republican primary
Because the DNC is already saying they're not having a primary and Biden felt left out
They've said very quietly like 5 seperate times that they will ignore any primary results and simply select Biden for re-election. Remember that recent polling says ~70% of Americans and ~55% of registered democrats want a different democratic candidate.
ive said this before but it's still true: the weird hero worship terfs have for jkr proves that they have no ideology beyond hating trans women
do yall remember what jkr's reputation was before she publicly started tweeting terf shit and rubbing elbows with the alt right? because i do!
people (rightfully) criticized her for being performative and trying to get "good ally points" without actually doing any of the legwork. she'd announce things on twitter like "well i never said there weren't any black people at hogwarts" or "dumbledore was totally gay i just never mentioned or even implied it because reasons" and expect asspats. there were so many memes making fun of how hollow and blatantly performative all of this was.
she was criticized for racism and antisemitism (remember cho chang? or how lavender brown suddenly turned white when she became plot relevant? literally everything about the goblins and the house elves?) misogyny, homophobia and plenty of other shit before her transmisogyny was common knowledge
remember how she said that werewolfism was a metaphor for the fucking aids crisis? remember that weird shit she pulled with snape's redemption arc? or when she heavily implied that umbridge got raped by centaurs and it was treated as like a funny thing?
but because she hates trans women yall are willing to look past all of that and laud her as a feminist icon. i feel like im in the goddamn twilight zone
before you accuse me of lying or exaggerating, please know that everything i listed her is very easily google-able (i should know, i looked all of this up while making the post to make sure i wasnt misremembering things!)
This is also very true and very worth noting because I distinctly remember that the "read another book" meme started primarily in antisjw circles and now those same people are suddenly deathly loyal Harry Potter fans.

Though it can seem daunting, a range of noted thinkers from Karl Marx to Ice T agree that in such scenarios it is necessary to hold your friend to account for their misdeeds. Both for their own sake and for society writ large.
saw a post the other day that said that psych survivors were overexaggerating and fearmongering for saying that people should be aware that having diagnoses on your record can be a danger + impede your life. and the more i think about it the more annoyed i am. because i think people need to know that there are exceptions to health privacy laws that can make having psych diagnoses and psych hospitalization history on your record risky depending on your circumstances. diagnoses follow you through your health interactions-you do not have to consent to have your information shared between providers. judicial proceedings are also an exception to the HIPAA privacy rule, so for things like custody battles, guardianship, getting orders of protection--the court can petition for medical records. there's so many other situations where even if they can't legally access your information without your authorization, people will require you to disclose diagnoses, records, previous hospitalizations and refuse to give you services/hire you/whatever unless you share that information with them. for example in many states anyone (a provider, a cop, friends and family) can disclose that you have certain psych diagnoses like bipolar to the DMV which then might require that you undergo drivers license review as frequently as every 3 months. my university is actively trying to kick me out right now because i had to disclose my medical record, psych diagnoses, and hospitalization history to them as a requirement to stay enrolled.
and i don't want to scare people or make people think that having a diagnosis on their records is automatically going to mean that it is weaponized against us. because i do know plenty of people who have never faced issues with their records. but i do expect that the community supports the people speaking out about the ways that we have been harmed by diagnoses creating barriers to accessing necessary parts of our life. instead of attacking us or saying that we're lying about things we are currently experiencing.
ok @seluvian 's tags reminded me of how many black children are labeled with 'oppositional defiance' or 'conduct disorders' for behaviors that their white peers are more likely to have diagnosed as adhd or autism or ptsd, which then fast tracks them into the school-to-prison pipeline as every teacher + para sees that they've been diagnosed with what is essentially Unruly Child Disorder. then this interacts with the social prejudice which paints black teens as being inherently threatening or unruly to begin with-- these combine to become a self fulfilling cycle in which the diagnosis causes trauma by labeling a child as Pathologically Criminal, which spurns 'acting out' behaviors which are then explained away as a result of the diagnosis itself.
most of the ppl i see defending the idea of diagnosis as a unilateral good are white ppl. they fail to grasp that a white child diagnosed with autism who received extra social skills support + speech therapy at their well funded elementary school may have their life enriched by diagnosis, while a black child diagnosed with oppositional defiant disorder who was subjected to additional policing, poorer educational outcomes, + emotional abuse has their life destroyed by diagnosis.
As a black adult diagnosed with ODD as a child, can confirm every single thing said here is accurate and correct.
can he sit on your dash for a minute?? he'll be very polite :]
you have to start to scroll away and then come back and reblog this
You could tell Eggman you’re trans and he’d immediately be like “Hoho! How would you like to try my brand new ULTRA MEGA TESTOSTERONE?!” And like it’d absolutely work but he’d definitely be using it as one of the benefits of joining the Eggman Empire. Which also has dental.
You’d work for Eggman and be like “Hey boss just so you know I’m a girl now,” and he’d be like “Oh okay, do you want more giant spikes on the robot mech I gave you?” Because his only frame of reference for girly things is Neo Metal Sonic and Amy so it’s either huge spikes or huge hammers.
not unkillable as in “they got machines to keep us alive”, but unkillable as in “this hole you put me in wasn’t deep enough”
hey fun fact did you know that if you're on the schizophrenia spectrum, have psychosis, have psychotic symptoms or traits, etc, that you're loved and your symptoms and traits should not be vilainized or seen as evil or ugly?
did you know that this also means you shouldn't mock people for behavior you deem "strange" or "unnerving", like talking to themselves, not being able to speak cohesively, acting like they're being watched, and such? and specially not call them "insane" or "crazy" or even worse terms?
