I don't know if I have all the words to explain it but this post + something I saw on bsky earlier got me thinking about how like. Part of the thing that both underwhelms me about Izzy and makes it very annoying when canyoners argue that OFMD "killed it's only disabled character for the crime of being disabled" is that it feels like Izzy losing his leg is treated by the show with the same gravity and seriousness of someone like breaking a bone or catching the flu

i hate all of those dedicated 'scam busting' blogs anyway because even when they do sometimes identify actual scams or bots, the number of times i've seen them assert wildly untrue things about how to tell someone is lying is just reprehensible. noticeably in regards to disability, like i distinctly remember this one whole saga where one of those blogs was insisting that it was impossible for a bedbound person to be typing well enough to continually ask for help, or that if they werr actually that desperate then gov't assistance would have been covering them. like actually stfu and kill yourself, i don't know why self proclaimed ~leftists still take these peoples opinions seriously at all. well i do but.

hi!! i’m rlly into shakespeare’s tragedies and am curious about the histories, but they’re pretty intimidating. i started to read henry viii a while back, but it didn’t click. what are your thoughts?

i’m curious most abt richard iii bc he’s a blorbo of mine historically (a sentence i never thought i’d hear, much less say)

oh i fucking LOVE the histories i have been going crazy about the histories lately. if you're looking for advice on how to parse the... well, history bit, this post may be helpful! the hardest part for me was the number of characters who change their names or have multiple names (i know it's often based on location/which part of england they're in charge of, but Oh My God), but if r3 is a blorbo of yours you might be ahead on that already.

re: henry viii: i feel like this is hands-down the worst one. so if that turned you off, rest assured it gets better than that. i am sure there are people who like henry viii and have said very smart things about it, but i could not tell you one damn thing that happens in that play besides the doctor being called doctor butts. because it is so fucking boring. HOWEVER! henry viii is outside of the main sequences of histories--not sure how familiar you are, but for you and anyone else who might not know, most of the histories are broken into two tetralogies, and then hviii and king john also exist. (and merry wives, i guess, but that's not really a history, it's just a falstaff play.) those being the war of the roses (written first but chronologically later historically--the three h6 plays and r3) and the henriad (r2, the h4 plays, and h5). so you don't need to read henry viii unless you are on a deranged completionist grind. which i was and i still don't remember what happens in it

as to richard iii--if you're nervous about jumping into the histories, you honest to god can just read that one first. it comes chronologically last (except hviii), but imo it's the history play most capable of standing alone, and also it fucking rocks. i love richard iii. i love the play and i love the guy. i don't know what the historical consensuses on Real Life Actual Richard III are, but i assume you know that shakespeare's ricky is, uh, um, well, he's not, like, good PR for richard's historical reputation. but he IS a deeply fascinating character that i fucking adore. every single scene he's just lying. he's like do you wanna see something fucked up? and then he does it. it's also a play with a lot to dig into re: disability especially (again. not very good rep on shakespeare's part, but lots of good scholarship/intertextual responses), but also gender (women haunting the narrative). awesome play i love it so much.

also, if you like richard (the guy), you may also like henry vi part 3, because he's there and killing people and carrying decapitated heads around; i am sorry to say that the first two henry vi plays are much less fun but they do exist. i am a henriadhead myself but there are lots of wars of the roses people on shakespeare tumblr who write excellent analysis, so here's an open call to the crowd if anyone has stuff to share esp. re: richard. if you have any specific questions about the histories, i'm also happy to try my hand at answering :3 english history is not my era of expertise but i am rereading through the plays right now so i'm having lots of thoughts about kingship and gender and such

I find it so annoying how bad glasses look in many games. You can personalize your character alright, but the glasses will look like world's worst addon and an after-thought because they suddenly remembered people wear those actually.

I'd love to wear more glasses in games I play. I wear them irl constantly and even have two pairs now I change between (one has blue light protection, the other uv) and there's a lot that can be done with glasses, but in games they're One Color and usually just one (very likely rectangular) shape. If you're lucky they'll be a few different shapes but no funky colors.

My old glasses faded from a nearly wine-purple to transparent and were the sturdiest things I've ever dealt with. They kept falling and never broke. The glasses I have now are way thinner, but are a wine red too with a more cherry red stripe on the side and retractable things to make them more or less long depending on face structure (you do not know the pain of getting glasses to not fucking slide off your nose if you haven't gone to the fucking store to get them fixed at least three times in one month. I swear I'm getting these plastic dumb things again because They Won't Stay).

Irl glasses can also not be The Best (trust me, I am not super pleased with my new pairs, I find them a bit too flimsy), but there is some VARIETY! There are entire stores dedicated to these fucking disability aids and people trained to tell you which colors and shapes fit your face best.

Games however barely offer rectangular (and maybe oval or circular) one-note glasses and you'll have to be happy with that. Most games I play do at least the bare minimum of having glasses to choose from, but they are so unappealing that they might as well have none for me

Happy Disability Pride Month 2024!!!

[us-the-voices-and-more-voices-2]

still so incredibly, incredibly, pissed and angry about the NDIS changes.

people are already dying, important things are already canceled, what the fuck was the point?

save a couple billion dollars?

okay? now people are dead what was the point again?

it's not going to help people like me who SHOULD be on the NDIS for support and life shit.

(hi I suffer from post-covid! and severe debilitating asthma! not to mention learning disabilities that make things incredibly inaccessible to me because the government THEMSELVES don't make shit accessible!!!!!)

(I live in hell YAY!/j)

not to mention all the people on the waiting lists who are literally straight up dying, we already have mortalities!!!!!!

WE'VE HAD MORTALITIES FOR YEARS!!!!

we've only had the NDIS since 2013, I grew up without support from the NDIS because well I was born in the 2000s lol and it took a solid few years after that for it to work out some kinks and by the time it ended up being okay as a thing I had been disabled for 10 years and had 0 supports lol, and my family had been paying out of pocket.

also like my entire family didn't have any disability supports before me either, no one had them in those days, no one in the old country we only really got anything literally in 2018-2019 for one of my bisnonni THAT'S HOW BAD THE NDIS IS BTW.

at the very least she had a carer for some time, but it was not even a possibility for such a long time.

that again, one of my other bisnonni was completely fucked over, same problems effected her even worse in her own right.

(NDIS actually care about old people challenge: FAILED)

ALSO imagine having rights! hahahahahah.

(actually sobbing rn. most of us DO NOT, we are payed less then abled people!!!!)

I am bitching and moaning everyday, because I'm not stupid none of us are, even us stupid people (ily fellow learning disabled ppl and intellectually disabled ppl) we have been greatly fucked over for decades and decades, and still with the bare fucking minimum shit it gets snatched or abused or we get scammed.

it's fucked, it's so, so, fucked.

medicare doesn't cover optical, dental, or a shit ton of other things.

the government straight up hates us all, I can not tell you the amount of bullshit I've been through, the ableism is intense!!!!! it's why I got so good at masking my very obvious learning disabilities fuck all of us for real.

like, the depression and STRAIGHT UP FEAR!!!

dude, fucked up shit.

I have so so many stories, I can't even begin to tell you.

honestly shame on 'em, I'm using my newfound free speech to bitch and moan.

because like, I do not genuinely think half the things that allow me to bitch and moan about being disabled was a thing when I was a kid, like genuinely!

honestly I wish international disabled allies could idk join in and be angry with us, we have all been through hell.

and it's fucked.

[disabled-dragoon]

I've seen some bad takes in my time but "several members of the same family all apparently having the same disability sounds like a scam to me" is certainly something isn't it

okay finished the first book of the fish isekai series and it is RIDICULOUSLY fun -- it's like eating candy, sweet and stupid and very hard to stop. prince jing is perfect, i adore him

Bill Shorten made the NDIS so inaccessible to participants because he knew that if I had weekly occupational therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy and a support worker for eight(8) hours a week, that I would become unstoppable.
