As much as I get the whole “see Alicent! See! This is what you put Rhaenyra through!” Bc yeah she did undercut Rhaenyra but she never actually advocated for Rhaenyra’s removal for council, from the line to the throne.

Like I GET the vindication, bc it essentially proves the holes in Alicent’s belief system, but at the same time I feel like you are all??? Conveniently forgetting??? She knows what this is like already??? This isn’t new to Alicent?? Like at all??

kill 'character did nothing wrong'. nurture 'character did everything wrong and i was whooping and cheering the whole time'

they should invent a new type of "staying in bed for 2-3 hours after you wake up repeatedly opening and closing apps on your phone" where it makes you feel awesome and energized and emotionally fulfilled

can we stop pretending like it’s so super easy for trans men to pass. “oh just put on a baggy shirt and cut your hair-“ it literally doesn’t work like that and I refuse to believe you actually think it’s that easy

The UK government scheme allowing EU citizens to remain post-Brexit is in danger of being upended, legal experts have warned, after a series of conflicting court rulings over social welfare payments to French and Slovenian citizens and the relative of a Spanish woman living in Britain. In May, one county court judge found against Islington council, which had rescinded a Slovenian software engineer’s right to emergency housing after he lost work during the pandemic. But in another case, also in May, brought against Oldham council on behalf of a woman whose Spanish daughter was living in the UK, the judge found the opposite. Then on 8 July, in a third ruling, the high court judge Justice Robert Jay dismissed a case taken on behalf of a French citizen who had deteriorating health and was seeking housing assistance. The French woman, who suffers from a rare genetic condition that affects connective tissue, moved to the UK in November 2020 to live with her mother, the grandmother of her two children, one of whom has autism and the same genetic disorder.

I saw this on FB today and I wanna try and express something about it. Like, you know the curbcutter effect? Where when curbcuts are put in it benefits everyone (bicyclists, people with baby strollers etc) and not just disabled people?

There is also whatever the opposite of the curbcutter effect is. And this is that.

This isn't just anti-adhd/autism propaganda... this is anti-child propaganda.

Kids have developmentally appropriate ways that they need to move their bodies and express themselves and sitting perfectly still staring straight ahead is not natural or good for ANY CHILD.

Don't get me wrong, I was punished unduly as a kid for being neurodivergent (and other types of kid will ALSO be punished unduly for it... Black kids come to mind) and thus UNABLE to perform this -- but even the kids who ARE able to perform this type of behavior are not SERVED WELL by it. They don't benefit from it.

This is bad for everyone.

The idea that bc some kids may be capable of complying with unfair expectations, those expectations don't hurt them... is a dangerous idea. Compliance isn't thriving. Expectation of compliance isn't fair treatment.

i love dread in a story i love hurtling towards something terrible and wanting to stop but the only way to find out what happens is to keep getting closer to it

The thing that is striking me the most about this album is just how messy and human it is. She’s not holding anything back or trying to appear one way or another. She’s just letting it all out regardless of what anyone might say. She found that trying to be polished and keep all the ugly, imperfect, human stuff in to be stifling and just said fuck it I need to do this for me. This album was an exorcism for her.

here's to all the little sacrifices we have to make as disabled people.

here's to skipping a friend's party because you were in too much pain, or because you had no energy.

here's to dropping out of clubs because they became too much for you.

here's to all the times we've said "no it's okay, you guys go ahead, i'll hang back here."

here's to all the things we've held ourselves back from just in case they hurt us.

here's to moving seats in class away from your friends because your back was getting a draft and the cold hurts you.

here's to us. here's to letting ourselves heal. here's to being cautious, being safe.

here's to the things we can do. the things we're allowed to do. here's to enjoying those things, enjoying our lives.

here's to making the most of being us.

It is WILD to me how many people just loudly broadcast their intention to scab, as if that isn't the fastest way to brand yourself as someone who will throw anyone else to the wolves in an industry that runs on collaboration, so every writer say it with me
