Pls do not reblog anything with the old disability pride flag, it does cause seizure and migraines, please use the new one which was created by the same person with the feedbacks of many other disabled people.

This is the safe one:

Dont use the zigzag one, your making disabled space inaccessible for a part of the community.

Tumblr is my home….I never left

RB for the largest sample size this site has ever seen

To be fair, I tried to leave at the time of the porn ban. But no one I follow here went to any of the places I tried to go so going to those other places didn’t make sense.

re: the demi lovato news that right wing outlets are using as clickbait to make people think being nonbinary is a silly fake trend

• she uses she/her IN ADDITION to they/them, she didn’t ditch they/them pronouns
• she said that she adopted them back because it simply got tiring asking people to use they/them and she didn’t have the energy to keep up which, as someone who frequently uses their birth name and “expected” pronouns simply to avoid the headache and moreover potential bigoted vitriol i understand completely
• demi is STILL NONBINARY. and even if she wasn’t that’d be fine. people are allowed to change their mind and try new things. that’s the whole point of all of this.

don’t buy the spin from rags like the post. demi hasn’t “backslid” on their identity. they still use they/them pronouns. furthering clickbait transphobia by dignifying its dishonesty even in the name of a pithy quote retweet only hurts us. i’m pretty ambivalent towards demi specifically but not media outlets weaponizing their identity and obfuscating their journey as a way to attack me and my community.

the more i think about this the more pissed i get like. people trying to spin this as a “being nonbinary is a silly fake phase” thing when the reality is demi felt like they had to compromise on their identity BECAUSE everyone treats being nonbinary like a silly fake phase. like theyre literally proving her point while being sooooo smug and confident that theyre right. im so fed up with this fucking era of being confidently completely wrong in easily disprovable ways but no one bothers to interrogate the facts.

“You wearing a collar in public is bad cuz I didn’t consent” you wearing a bracelet in public is bad cuz I didn’t consent to it.

Yall don’t really have a right to consent to other peoples clothes.

What’s next? Boys aren’t allowed to wear dresses cuz conservatives don’t “consent?” Trans people don’t get to wear gender affirming clothes cuz people don’t “consent?” Women don’t get to wear pants anymore cuz you don’t “consent?”

“Wearing a collar is sexual!” OK and? There are people that get off wearing certain clothes, are you going to restrict what men and women are allowed to wear by deciding those clothes are inherently sexual?

You ignore parents abusing their kids in grocery stores, you ignore the homeless people begging for money, you can ignore the gay people in collars and stuff.

So many people are getting soooo mad at me for things I never said in the post. But, real quick: no, youre not morally correct to assault someone in a collar. No, youre not morally correct to assault someone with a leash. No, youre not morally correct to assault someone in a gimp suit. And, I can’t believe I have to say this, considering how it’s a disability millions deal with around the world - no, you are not morally correct correct to assault someone you notice has a diaper under their clothes. Your righteous violence it turns out, is just violence, indistinguishable from anyone else’s.

On that note, yall are the blogs that joke about being so anxious about telling the cashier you didn’t want pickles. Yall ain’t “beating” anyone’s ass.

Horse girl is a term describing a girl who is really into horses. Catgirl means a girl who is in some way part cat. So, poll: what is a horsegirl?

Same as a horse girl

A girl who is in some way part horse, analogous to a catgirl

Both

Something else (please comment!)

I don’t know/see results

I’m seeing some confusion in the notes.

Centaur woman:

Horsegirls:

Note the later are bipedal with horse ears on their human head and a horse tail rather than quadrupeds with a human torso, arms, and head coming out of the body of a horse.

It’s interesting how diseases rip through schools at incredible speeds despite being in an arguably modern, clean(ish) environment. I wonder if it has something to do with the whole “you need a doctor’s note to excuse your absence of even one day” combined with the average price of going to a doctor, the lack of education on things like “you’re still contagious even after the fever goes away”, and the overwhelming message of “if you don’t struggle through it, you’re a failure!”

On my campus there tends to be a problem where even I you have the doctors note professors will still take points off of your final grade regardless of how sick you are. I’ve seen people show up to class with the stomach flu, pneumonia, respiratory infections and all sorts of other contagious ailments.

Here’s a fun story:

The school system I grew up in put an absolutely ungodly amount of pressure on kids to Show Up Every Day No Matter What. Many schools are like this, but looking back, my town’s was borderline fucking dystopian. They asked me why I didn’t just “postpone” a surgery at one point— when I was fifteen— to give you an idea of how monumentally obtuse these people were.

So, in elementary school, I started having chicken pox symptoms, right? They were mild because I was vaccinated (yay!) but my mom recognized them quickly and took me to the doctor, because my mom is a reasonable human being with standards. The doctor said “yup, you’ve got those pox, it may seem mild but please for the love of god DO NOT take her to school, she is very contagious even though she may FEEL okay.”

So I had to stay home from school until I got clearance from my doctor to go back. I was an angry little gremlin the whole time, because I wanted to go to the school library and read books about the human skull, but my mother said, “no, you cannot leave this house, and do not scratch the bumps please.” So I sat at home and tried not to scratch the bumps, like a good little gremlin.

A few days into my Chicken Pox Related House Arrest, we got a letter from the school. I was far from the only person with chicken pox, as it so happened. Like… a tenth of my second grade class had Confirmed Pox. We all fell ill within DAYS of each other.

So how did this happen, you ask? Well, a kid had chicken pox, and he came to school anyway. “Ah, well perhaps they didn’t know,” you may very well say. “Maybe his parents didn’t notice!” No. No, they noticed. In fact they KNEW it was CHICKEN POX. They sent him to school anyway.

The kid’s parents…….. were, in fact, teachers at the school. And they KNOWINGLY made him go to school sick, because they didn’t want to risk hurting his precious “perfect attendance” record. They figured that since he wasn’t, like, Literally Dying, it was better for him not to miss school. Never mind the fact that they were actively endangering hundreds of little kids.

Fast forward to my freshman year of college. A kid came to class with mumps because he ‘couldn’t afford to miss’. Guess what happened? Mumps outbreak! Diseases are, as it turns out, good at being diseases! Vaccinations are phenomenal, but they can only do so much, and some people rely on herd immunity to not be killed by preventable illness.

This entire attitude needs to die. It’s dangerous. Food service workers are forced to show up sick, little kids are forced to show up sick, college students show up sick because they’re afraid of flunking out.

And on top of it all, misinformation campaigns are encouraging people not to get vaccinations! It’s 2019 and we’re flirting with the plague! Next thing you know some blogger is gonna be like “actually we should all be fucking rats and eating our meat raw, death to all science and god bless america”

Many kids at my school will show up really sick because we only get like three days of excused absences without a doctor’s note.

this is what those in literary academia call “foreshadowing”
