hi! physically disabled actor here. ricky potts' disability has always been part of his character and erasing it in newer scripts, regardless of how they attempt to justify it, is ableist. i can't believe there has been so much open discussion directed towards this show abt how to avoid ableism going forwards (casting disabled actors, altering the script to give him more agency, not erasing ricky's disability) and the writers instead chose to double down on it to the Nth degree. this is not what we were fighting for. we wanted inclusion, we wanted respect, we wanted to be seen and heard - this change is essentially silencing us.

boycott these theatres. sign petitions. listen to us when we say this isn't ok. save ricky potts.

[id: screenshots of tiktok captions. the images say, “but the only reason we still love princess diana is because she did not have the time to disappoint us.”]

begging queer kids to read up on princess diana’s involvement with the community. yes, she was a rich, pretty monarch. yes, she died young.

but the reason why queer people love her is because she used her privilege during the aids crisis to advocate for sick queer men, when very few others would - much less someone of her status.

diana spent years advocating for the health and care of queer people with hiv/aids. in 1987, at the height of the epidemic, she opened the first specialist clinic dedicated to treating aids patients (the first clinic of it’s kind in the uk).

she also fought public hysteria by hugging and shaking bare hands with aids patients, at a time when aids was thought to be spread by skin to skin contact. not only that, she visited patients in the clinic regularly and even comforted them through their sickness.

and when queen elizabeth told her to try focusing on “something more pleasant”?

diana ignored her and kept fighting.

and this is only her work towards the aids crisis. she publicly called out the royal family, brought attention to numerous world issues, and was known as an advocate for empathy and kindness. she’s known and loved as the people’s princess for good reason

taught my dog the word 'yucky' in association to grossness so if he's chewing on something weird I run up to him and yell "YUCKY" and he gives me this look

So I just made a joke that "more women should poison their husbands" to my cool boss and then immediately found out that he got divorced because he was poisoned by his ex-wife
