Teddy Grahams are sweeter Graham crackers (I'd say more cookie?) baked in the shape of teddy bears and yes they're a specific brand. The chocolate ones are like oreo cookies imo? They're like animal crackers but sweeter and denser

... someone tell me if animal crackers are an American thing or not I legit don't know

have you ever thought about how amatonormativity is so prevalent that it twisted the word "relationship" to generally mean "a romantic relationship" in normal conversation. saying "I'm in a relationship" should be an inane statement. everyone is in relationships dipshit it came free with your membership card to a social species. but alas

Happy disability pride to the undiagnosed, underdiagnosed, and misdiagnosed. So much talk and community are centered around certain diagnosis, or even just having any kind of diagnosis, but for many of us getting there is so hard, and we're often blamed or silenced both inside and out of disability community based off whatever label a doctor decided to apply or not apply to you.

No doctor can understand you and your body better than you do.

People need to stop infantalising those who struggle to speak, speak/communicate differently, or can't speak at all.

No, that nonverbal person is not an innocent soft baby you need to protect. That person who has verbal shutdowns is not as gentle and kind as a plush toy. That semiverbal person is not a baby you need to spoonfeed. The person who communicates primarily through echolalia is still a person worthy of your respect as any other. That hyperverbal person can't control it any more than anyone else and treating them like an overexcited child isn't going to do them any good. People who stim or tic verbally don't need to be cooed at or treated like their tics and stims make them adorable. People who type in a disjointed way, make grammatical errors or have other issues with speech or typing still deserve to have their opinions respected. These are all still people.

It's fine if some people like this treatment, more power to them, that's a part of being a person--you decide what you want in your life. But people also really need to acknowledge that just because someone doesn't speak like you, it doesn't mean they're worth less or childlike or in need of babying. Don't assume that someone's a soft innocent baby just because they have issues with speech or text.

ugh my ability to visually process wtf I am seeing is getting worse.

like. It's not my eyesight. My brain is just so tired. that visual information is getting lost or mixed up when I look at things.

mostly images online, tbf, but it's more annoying that idk how to quickly explain to people "Yeah look I understand this is a normal image but my tired brain has decided it's a magic eye image"

happy disability pride month and once again, FUCK lazy subtitles. fuck the [speaks foreign language] instead of actually transcribing the words, fuck shortening sentences and changing whats been said for no reason, fuck censoring swearing in captions but not in audio and fuck anyone who says youre being 'too sensitive' for being upset about a lack of accessibility

You know for the first 18-ish years of your life everyone your age is mostly doing the same things and then all of a sudden every year for the rest of your life somebody your age is getting divorced while somebody else just learned what a leaf is and you have no idea what’s going on or what you’re supposed to be doing
