this really resonates with me and i appreciate you saying it. my special interest brings me such immense joy but the flipside of that is when i’m not able to talk about survivor or get criticized for talking about it too much i get very distressed and i do feel emptiness when i’m unable to interact with my special interest. it can be very scary to have your emotional state depend so much on one thing.

Special interest are amazing. But they still disable many autistics.

I love my special interest. My love for Pokémon and bats and paw patrol is amazing. But they still disable me. I can’t social with many because these constantly on mind. When willingly talking self will only talks about special interest. And when conversation change from interests, will get upset and switch it back. And many conversations with me is switching between my interests and what the other person wants to talk about.

When not actively engaging in interests, feel empty and not sure who am, although always feel that way, the feeling get when not have interest around is completely different. When not interested in my special interests am so much more deregulated and irritated and struggle communicate much more.

I still love my interests, but it feels like all really have. They disconnect me from others, they make me feel lonely and trapped while also helping me feel something. My interests are disabling, and are for many. Yes they good and fun and happy but everything has a bad side and that includes special interests

always blows my mind as a european when people talk about states like “yeah theres nothing in ohio/montana/wyoming/etc” because i look at a map like but. but theyre so big. every state could qualify as its own country what do you mean theres nothing there. and then i ask people from those states and theyre like “yeah theres nothing here” what do you mean theres nothing there!!!

my dad’s winner pick record is insane he’s gotten 2/6 new era winners. 4/6 of his picks in final 4. never picked outside top 10. he doesn’t even know that much about survivor. his worst ever pick was tevin. like that’s his low point. i am fascinated. i need him to watch every previous season so i can collect more data

I hope Hank doesn’t find out about my meth business lmao

[bonelessenthusiast]

The entire episode I was thinking about Christian Hubicki btw. Kenzie wanting to turn on Tiff? Gabby and Christian. The final part of the immunity challenge? Same one Christian won. Hunter being taken out? I was rooting for Hunter and Christian both to win, they were my favs, then got taken out post merge. Hunter going right after Tevin? Just like Christian going right ager Gabby

The thing about disability being a social construct is largely true, because when you have a physical issue but receive accommodations + care such that they can do everything able-bodied people can, you're no longer considered disabled. Case in point: glasses. If glasses fix near-blindness, you're not considered disabled, even though you're basically blind without them.

In a hypothetical world where mech suits existed, were cheap and comfortable and accessible and worked well, and were normalised such that people didn't even notice, even quadreplegics wouldn't be considered disabled (although of course that's distant science fiction).

That's what "disability is a social construct" means. In the same way gender being a social construct doesn't mean boobs aren't real, or money being a social construct doesn't mean physical cash doesn't exist.

I don’t agree with this analysis at all.

What hypothetical disabled people might be able to do in the future holds no meaning in the current reality I occupy

You say that quadriplegics will be “considered” abled with exoskeletons - but then you fail to elaborate on the relationship between these devices, their users, and the people who supply them

My father has had type 1 diabetes for 30 years. 30 years is an entire lifetime for some people. The cost of his insulin increased literally that ENTIRE TIME until last year when the Biden admin put caps on insulin prices

Furthermore, his insulin pump retails for 4,600$, and if it breaks, he is still diabetic at the end of the day and will slowly and terribly die without it.

I noticed a lot of people on here have lots of ideas and hypotheticals about how disabled people should and could navigate the world, but their arguments fall flat and topple so easily because you’re not connecting these ideas to anyone’s intrinsic reality

This is why so many physically disabled people are fatigued by the entire “disability is a social construct” conversation. It’s overwhelmingly used by uneducated 17 year olds to minimize and downplay and discredit the real-life, life-or-death interactions and experiences many physically disabled people live with

The current state of pop girlies is so funny like

Ariana Grande: getting dragged for homewrecking with the guy who played SpongeBob in the SpongeBob musical

Taylor Swift: dropping her worst album in years about how deeply obsessed she is with Matty Healy

Billie Eilish, for some reason:

Why are y'all still using the word 'Middle East'. We've had this conversation already.

I love when Jeff has clear favorites and clear least favorites. And especially when his least favorites outlast his favorites
