slow down for your disabled friends. thats like a bare minimum kindness that we shouldnt have to ask for. i love that youre so quirky and walking fast is a cool personality trait to you and all that but i bet you can count your physically disabled friends on less than one hand

#in a perfect world the move im gay meme would be about being fat or having a mobility aid and people just standing in your way in public #my bemoanings #debated posting this but itd be nice to have some solidarity where my mobility aid users at who have not a lot of good outside friends #also if youre a friend of mine who is worried that you might be the person in the comic im gonna be real #MULTIPLE ppl have said this exact thing to me and id rather you just slow down next time. dont come to me asking for forgiveness or smth #also straight up the person in this comic i havent seen for years because they were mean to me anyways

if someone is talking about how much they love their parents do not jump in and start venting about your issues with your parents. if someone is venting about their issues with their parents do not jump in and start talking about how much you love your parents. peace and love amen swag city

#peach rambles #hall of fame i guess #anyway if you don’t know what to say in the former case #just say ‘aw that’s nice!/that’s cool!’ or ask a follow-up question. like ‘how often does [good thing] happen?’#people love being asked questions about themselves esp when they’re happy!#and if you don’t know what to say in the latter situation a simple ‘aw that sucks… ouch… i’m sorry’ or anything to that effect #’but that feels so fake and empty’ you’d be surprised how far little platitudes go #a bandaid and a kiss won’t heal the wound but they make you feel better #people at least like knowing that you heard them and that you want to try #you don’t have to be a poet to know what to say but just say something or at least do not say something disrespectful!

Not “Only my reading of canon is correct” or “Interpretations are subjective and all valid” but a secret third thing, “More than one interpretation can be valid but there’s a reason your English teacher had you cite quotes and examples in your papers, you have to have a strong argument that your interpretation is actually supported by the text or it is just wrong and I’m fine with telling you it’s wrong, actually.”

#fandom #media literacy #like not to be shitty but. a lot of the kinds of things analyzed to death in fandom are not complicated #enough to lend themselves to really different readings in a rich way lol #we’re not talking about vertigo here just pew pew space movies and cartoons and superheroes #things that are typically more direct in what they have to say #so many smart ppl in the Star Wars fandom are too nice about this tbh #‘just my opinion though’ no babe it’s the only well defended take I’ve seen and u should own it!
