The way that we learn about Helen Keller in school is an absolute outrage. We read “The Miracle Worker”- the miracle worker referring to her teacher; she’s not even the title character in her own story. The narrative about disabled people that we are comfortable with follows this format- “overcoming” disability. Disabled people as children. Helen Keller as an adult, though? She was a radical socialist, a fierce disability advocate, and a suffragette. There’s no reason she should not be considered a feminist icon, btw, and the fact that she isn’t is pure ableism- while other white feminists of that time were blatent racists, she was speaking out against Woodrew Wilson because of his vehement racism. She supported woman’s suffrage and birth control. She was an anti-war speaker. She was an initial donor to the NAACP. She spoke out about the causes of blindness- often disease caused by poverty and poor working conditions. She was so brave and outspoken that the FBI had a file on her because of all the trouble she caused.

Yet when we talk about her, it’s either the boring, inspiration porn story of her as a child and her heroic teacher, or as the punchline of ableist, misogynistic jokes. It’s not just offensive, it’s downright disgusting.

Someone drowning in 6 feet of water is as equally dead as a person drowning in 20 feet of water.

Please stop comparing trauma and making it a challenge. It’s trauma. Not a competition or medal.

me explaining to the other trainers that apricorns are unknown outside of Johto because of deliberate suppression by the Silph and Devon corporations to present artificial pokeballs as the only means of capturing pokemon and establish regional monopolies after they eliminate renewable sources

I took my little brother (autistic, mostly non verbal) out and he was using his voice keyboard to tell me something, and this little boy (maybe 4 or 5?) heard him and asked me "Is he a robot??" I tried to explain to him that no, he isn't a robot, he just communicates differently, but my darling brother was in the background max volume "I am robot I am robot I am robot I am robot"

Usually I see you add a number of chromossomes. What does it mean when that line says "chromossome: X" rather than a number?

great question!

the number indicated in some of the results is not how many chromosomes a result has, but rather which chromosome the result is on.

as an example: you're probably familiar with the fact that humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes: 22 of these are autosomes and 1 of these are the sex chromosomes.

generally speaking, mammals will have this X and Y system for determining sex. so, when you see a result with "chromosome X" or "chromosome Y," it just means that result was found on that chromosome!

but, what if you see a different letter?

those of you who have been around for a while may have noticed some results having letters like Z or W. that's because the X Y system is not universal! check out the system for birds:

even within the explanation i've given above, there's lots of interesting exceptions to the system, and a lot of things we still dont understand!

thank you for the question!

the thing about being nonbinary is that you really do start to forget that other people have such strict walls around what is and isn’t allowed for genders. i thought we all agreed that we made that up. could you climb out of the cave real quick and feel the sunshine for a minute.

the hottest thing a trans person can be is comfortable in their own body and it's always shocking to me how many ppl don't get this. if your happiness means someone doesn't find you fuckable anymore then they don't like you. they like a two dimensional jerkoff fantasy that looks kind of like you. please don't sacrifice your life for them, you can do so much better.
