you’re not a disability advocate if you make fun of people with incontinence or people that drool or peoples motor functions or people with brain damage or people with low intelligence 👍

Sprawa jest poważna. Miejsce, które od 4 lat jest safe space dla queerów jest zagrożone zamknięciem. Miejsce w którym queerowa młodzież spędza aktywnie, kreatywnie czas. Miejsce w którym ludzie mogą uciec na chwilę od prześladowań i poznać podobnych do siebie.

Proszę, udostepniajcie na innych platformach. Proszę, w ten pride month pomóżcie zatrzymać trochę tęczy w tym konserwatywnym Lublinie.

Nie chcemy się zamykać, ale nie mamy wyboru‼️

Kiedy uruchamiałyśmy tę zbiórkę, chciałyśmy tylko przetrwać trudniejszy moment. Ale dziś już wiemy, że to nie będzie moment. Z powodu braku wsparcia instytucjonalnego musimy zamknąć naszą Przestrzeń. To dla nas ogromna strata, ale nie chcemy się poddać bez walki, dlatego zmieniamy cel zbiórki na 250 000 zł.

Tylko tyle (i aż tyle) pozwoli nam wynająć lokal i wspólnie tworzyć NASZĄ przestrzeń - tym razem na własnych zasadach, z poczuciem bezpieczeństwa i poszanowaniem praw człowieka. Jeśli się uda, wracamy. Jeśli nie, wszystko, co zbierzemy, przeznaczymy na godne pożegnanie i wsparcie psychologiczne dla młodych osób LGBTQ+ z naszego regionu, bo właśnie tego będą teraz najbardziej potrzebować.

Piwnica Labiryntu to przestrzeń, którą same sobie stworzyłyśmy, bo nikt inny tego nie zrobił.

Tu po prostu można być. Bez strachu. Bez ocen.

Działałyśmy prawie 4 lata.

Z miłości, z potrzeby, z troski o innych.

Ale dziś już nie damy rady same.

👉 Wrzuciłyśmy zrzutkę. Prosimy Was o pomoc. I o udostępnienie.

Nie zamykajmy drzwi, które tak trudno było otworzyć.

We don’t want to shut down but we have no choice 💔

When we launched this fundraiser, we just wanted to survive a difficult moment. But now we know - it’s not just a moment. And we’re not giving up without a fight.

That’s why we’re raising our goal to 250,000 PLN.

That’s how much it will take (no more, no less) to rent a space and build OUR community – this time on our own terms, with safety, dignity, and respect for human rights.

Piwnica Labiryntu is a space we built ourselves because no one else would.

👉 We’ve launched a fundraiser. Please help. Please share.

Let’s not close the door we fought so hard to open.

If we wanted to engage in nuance (lol, lmao) on the "are audiobooks reading" debate, we really do need to bring literacy, and especially blind literacy, into the conversation.

Because, yes, listening to a story and reading a story use mostly the same parts of the brain. Yes, listening to the audiobook counts as "having read" a book. Yes, oral storytelling has a long, glorious tradition and many cultures maintained their histories through oral history or oral + art history, having never developed a true written language, and their oral stories and histories are just as valid and rich as written literature.

We still can't call listening in the absence of reading "literacy."

The term literacy needs to stay restricted to the written word, to the ability to access and engage with written texts, because we need to be able to talk about illiteracy. We need to be able to identify when a society is failing to teach children to read, and if we start saying that listening to stories is literacy, we lose the ability to describe those systemic failures.

Blind folks have been knee-deep in this debate for a long time. Schools struggle to provide resources to teach students Braille and enforcing the teaching of Braille to low-vision and blind children is a constant uphill battle. A school tried to argue that one girl didn't need to learn Braille because she could read 96-point font. Go check what that is. The new prevalence of audiobooks and TTS is a huge threat to Braille literacy because it provides institutions with another excuse to not provide Braille education or Braille texts.

That matters. Braille-literate blind and low-vision people have a 90% employment rate. For those who don't know Braille, it's 30%. Braille literacy is linked to higher academic success in all fields.

Moving outside the world of Braille, literacy of any kind matters. Being able to read text has a massive impact on a person's ability to access information, education, and employment. Being able to talk about the inability to read text matters, because that's how we're able to hold systems accountable.

So, yes, audiobooks should count as reading. But, no, they should not count as literacy.

People with low spoons, someone just recommended this cookbook to me, so I thought I’d pass it on.

I always look at cookbooks for people who have no energy/time to do elaborate meal preparations, and roll my eyes. Like, you want me to stay on my feet for long enough to prepare 15 different ingredients from scratch, and use 5 different pots and pans, when I have chronic fatigue and no dishwasher?

These people seem to get it, though. It’s very simple in places. It’s basically the cookbook for people who think, ‘I’m really bored of those same five low-spoons meals I eat, but I can’t think of anything else to cook that won’t exhaust me’. And it’s free!

whenever people say shit like “i couldn’t be polyamorous, i’m so jealous and possessive. if my partner even LOOKS at another girl/guy i’m gonna kick them out of a window” i’m like well you should probably be working on that. like even if you don’t end up doing polyamory it’s probably good to not be like that

If you read the fic, leave the kudos. Leave a comment too, if possible. Just do it. It takes a few seconds of your time and it means the world to the writer.

Sincerely, me who just got told that my writing feels like watching a blockbuster movie. I don't care if they were sincere or not, I'll be thinking about that comment for the rest of my life and every time I feel bad about my art, I'll remember that someone once liked it.

as of march 12th clip studio is on sale celebrating their version 4 release. it's an incredibly powerful drawing program you will NOT regret getting, especially if you want to ditch adobe. the sale ends in 5 days so if you were looking into getting it, now's the time

and since i see this brought up often when i make these posts:

for pc and mac users, there's a perpetual license option; you do NOT have to get a subscription to use clip studio unless you're on an ipad

you can forever own the version of the program you buy; if a future version has things you want, you will be able to upgrade for a discount

future update releases won't make your current version unusable. you simply won't have the features any new release will include. for example, i will not be upgrading from ver 3 to ver 4 because i'm not interested in the new features

pro is for illustrations, character art, concept work; ex has handy tools for comics, webtoons and animation. both can make use of their 3d assets
