#the pain...........

[rainintheevening]

Things I think about: In the liberation of Ryloth, when Obi-Wan and Mace are bringing the three Acclamators in, one of them gets shot down, and like... that had a whole freaking other legion in it. Not to mention the support staff? The ship's crew (engineers, mechanics, cooks, officers)? Like the whole idea of filling the Navy with clones is preposterous, there could never have been enough. So the clones and the nat-born crews and officers aboard a ship the size of an Acclamator would number well past 10,000.

Ten thousand.

Now there would be survivors, even with the ship falling out of the sky they'd get every gunship out of there they could. Of course the ramp could be damaged. But like, everyone knows the crash procedures. So there would be SOME survivors.

Unless it got freaking fireballed, in which case... 10,000 lives lost.

10,000 that's as many Jedi as there were left to take the field in the entire galaxy.

Imagine the backlash in the Force.

Imagine how the Jedi have to take that. Imagine them wishing that the clones were droids, so they didn't have to feel it, and then feeling horribly guilty.

Imagine wishing you could send everyone else home and you alone could be the one life at risk to save all those people the Separatists are threatening to wipe out. But you can't. Alone, you are nothing in the face of the Confederate might and power.

So you stay. And you take every metaphorical punch to the gut, because it's better than standing by and doing nothing.

Saving lives costs lives in war.

What I mean when I do not control the hyperfixation.

[boxheadpaint]

wish the human body had like a crash log or something so I could pin shit down. Why am I having a sudden spike of anxiety when I’m just sitting here? Well it looks like there’s a conflict here between my medication and the better foliage mod

Hey kid, look at me.

I want you to T-pose. Turn your right thumb up and your left thumb doen and look at your right thumb. Move your arms up and down a bit until you feel a nerve running from your armpit to your palm. Now turn your right thumb down and your left thumb up, and look at your left thumb. Keep your chest facing forward and your shoulders back. Move your arms again until you feel that nerve again. Keep alternating between these two for a minute, or look at each thumb thirty times each.

Now sit down. Put your left hand firmly under your left buttock, palm down. Keep your shoulders back and put your right hand over the crown of your head, very gently pulling it to the right. Do this for thirty seconds, then do it again but with your right hand under your right buttock.

These are stretches for the nerves in your arms, and are very good for people who sit behind a computer a lot, or fibre artists, or you name it. Do them daily. They will hurt in the beginning, but keep doing them, even after the pain has gone, or it will return and you'll have to start all over.

me when my disabilities disable me:

[matkatkitkat]

i started playing Disco Elysium and last night (the same day i started playing) i woke up to my stomach hurting so bad that in my delirium i thought it had to do with something from the game.

and looked it up…

i thought this was completely normal until waking up later after the pain was gone.

[nondivisable]

I need to say something and I need y'all to be calm

if it isn't actively bad or harmful, no representation should be called "too simple" or "too surface level"

I have a whole argument for this about the barbie movie but today I wanna talk about a show called "the babysitters club" on Netflix

(obligatory disclaimer that I watched only two episodes of this show so if it's super problematic I'm sorry) (yes. I know it's based on a book, this is about the show)

this is a silly 8+ show that my 9 year old sister is watching and it manages to tackle so many complex topics in such an easy way. basic premise is these 13 year old girls have a babysitting agency.

in one episode, a girl babysits this transfem kid. the approach is super simple, with the kid saying stuff like "oh no, those are my old boy clothes, these are my girl clothes". they have to go to the doctor and everyone is calling the kid by her dead name and using he/him and this 13 year old snaps at like a group of doctors and they all listen to her. it's pure fantasy and any person versed in trans theory would point out a bunch of mistakes.

but after watching this episode, my little sister started switching to my name instead of my dead name and intercalating he/him pronouns when talking about me.

one of the 13 years old is a diabetic and sometimes her whole personality is taken over by that. but she has this episode where she pushes herself to her limit and passes out and talks about being in a coma for a while because of not recognizing the limits of her disability.

and this allowed my 9 year old sister to understand me better when I say "I really want to play with you but right now my body physically can't do that" (I'm disabled). she has even asked me why I'm pushing myself, why I'm not using my crutches when I complain about pain.

my mom is 50 years old and watching this show with my sister. she said the episode about the diabetic girl helped her understand me and my disability better. she grew up disabled as well, but she was taught to shut up and power through.

yes, silly simple representation can annoy you if you've read thousands of pages about queer liberation or disability radical thought, but sometimes things are not for you.

Girl failed the med school exam like 8 times I dont think she'd do all too well when faced with the burnt crisp of her captain

Some people don’t want to hear this but sometimes accessibility is not sustainable or eco-friendly. Disabled people sometimes need straws, or pre-made meals in plastic containers, or single-use items. Just because you can work with your foods in their least processed and packaged form doesn’t mean everyone else can.

Analysis so bad you don't even know what it's talking about anymore.
