This is one of my favorite podcasts, and this episode in particular is super good. It's well worth the listen.

“Fifty years ago — when an activist named Ed Roberts was young — most urban corners featured a sharp drop-off, making it difficult for him and other wheelchair users to get between blocks without assistance.”

Blake didn’t realize they were transgender for a long time because of inadequate access to information as a Deaf person. Now they’re sharing their own story online so other Deaf trans people know they’re not alone.

Sorry for my noobness in the gender areas, but I figured you'd be the best person to ask about this. What's the difference between nonbinary and agender? The definitions are so similar and I cannot for the life of me find someone who actually knows. Thanks in advance! -some noob who wants to make sure they aren't accidentally being disrespectful

Hey there! That’s a totally fair question.

So, nonbinary is a similar umbrella term to genderqueer - it basically means identifying as anything other than male or female. Genders like demigirl, demiboy, agender, and etc fall into the nonbinary/genderqueer umbrella. Agender is a “gender” within that umbrella, meaning that the person does not identify with gender at all! So, a person who is nonbinary (simply meaning “not binary” - “not strictly male or female”) may align themselves in some form with gender, whereas an agender person typically does not.

For example, I am nonbinary. I view myself and present with a mix of gendered ways, or sometimes not gendered at all. I don’t have a more specific label for myself other than this “not male or female” umbrella term because I don’t care enough about gender to pin it down more than that. Lots of other people find that suitable enough as well.

One of my good friends is agender, and prefers not to be aligned in any way with gendered pronouns or perceptions if they can help it.

I hope that helps!

I liked a lot about the movie, but have some issues with other aspects of it. For one, how the parents seemed so okay with producing an infant in such a setting. More importantly though, the dad signed HAVE as in to possess, but he was using it as though he was trying to construct an english sentence with it, using it to make it past tense, even though that sign doesn't do that. It was awkward for that to be true in the middle of what was meant to be a high emotion scene.

i was reading about “a quiet place” and they were talking about how john krasinski made a point to cast a deaf actress (her name is millicent simmonds) in the role of a deaf character because he didn’t want a non-deaf person pretending to be deaf and also because he thought it was essential to have that perspective to help inform the character and story.

and i think that’s just really cool, and really refreshing in a hollywood where representation is still a major problem and where, even when the stories of marginalized people are told, those people often aren’t given the chance to tell them. and it’s such a bare minimum thing, casting a disabled person in a disabled role, but it’s still almost revolutionary in our media. i’m just really glad to see a major hollywood person openly talk about how important it is and actually make a point to walk the walk, not just talk the talk.

so i will finally say this: the shape of water kind of takes for granted that the viewer will think the creature is on the same level as humans, mentally speaking.

like, it doesn’t try to “prove it” outside of a few scenes, and as a result we’ve got all these clowns insisting it’s a “degenerate filth bestiality movie”, who would probably say that anyway, but they’ve got ammo for it because guillermo del toro kind of just assumed nobody’d question the creature’s sentience and didn’t actually give a lot of textual evidence.

maybe there should’ve been a quick scene where he gathers up some art supplies, and then it cuts to the drawing of him and elisa, and it’s got some water stains on it or something (maybe not. maybe fish god is careful), and it’s pretty clear what happened. i don’t know. something like that.

I think forgot to say anywhere but twitter or my sideblog, but a month and a half ago I got top surgery. It went as expected, and now I don’t have any garbage on my chest anymore. It’s very good/cool.
