Honestly as a blind person I’m so tired of seeing fictional blind characters who don’t use white canes or other guides. “They have special powers so they know what’s around them” or “they’re confident enough to not need a guide” are common tropes, and I’m tired.

Are people scared that using a white cane will make their blind character seem weak? They can’t use a cane because they’re so special that they already know what’s around them, and other blind people who use guides are inferior because they’re not special?

I’m tired. Give your blind characters white canes and other guides. Let them hold onto their friends, let them have guide dogs. Don’t make white cane users feel ostracized for not being “strong enough” to go without.

Another thing that pisses me off is when a sighted character comes up with the fantasy equivalent of braille and teaches it to the blind character. Braille was invented by Louis Braille, a blind man, in 1824. The blind character should be the one coming up with it.

Tldr I’m blind and tired of sighted people lol

🔪 Sighted People MUST Reblog This 🔪

I'm sorry that's happening to you, and I hope everything gets less complicated. I personally don't know what you're going through, but I hope it all works out in the end, because everyone deserves to be happy

i friggin hate feelings. i have a crush on my best friend (gorl) who's dating my ex bf who i'm still good friends with ugh i hate it

Ooooof, that’s actually the worst. You can’t really control feels and so you’re basically stuck with them until someone else happens. I’m glad you’re all good friends though :’)

Thanks! 💜

I'm gonna tag: @fuckfuckfuckfuckimdying @probable-goblin @chipsadoodles

(Imma I'd tag you too, but you tagged me, you're awesome)

Greatest Tumblr Award (Re-boot)

Yes, I’m doing this again. Things have been so, so crazy lately, and I’ve seen a lot of hate and generally awful stuff. I want everyone to feel at least a little loved and appreciated, so here goes nothing.  

If you see his post (you don’t need to be tagged by anyone) reblog it and tag (at the very least) five people, so they know how amazing they are! We need to SPREAD THE POSITIVITY! So tag every Tumblr you enjoy (it doesn’t metter if they’ve already been tagged) because we all need to give a little more appreciation for the little things and the special people.

Tagging (In no particular order): @fluffy-lee, @rosegiggles, @amazingmsme, @littlelovelyspiderling, @waitimcomingtoo, @ficsandgiggles, @notmeblahh, @dropyoursocksandgrabyourcrocss, @marvelgiggles, @fallinfortom, @halfblood-princess-505, @the-crazy-fanfictionist, @theamazingtomholland, @chloecreatesfictions, @cicicantblog, @marvelinsanity, @spidey-reids-2003, @soft-petey, @parkerpeter24

Some of you I’ve never interacted with, some of you are literally my best friends. Others I’ve sent in a few asks, and sometimes I become an anonymous friend. But I love and appreciate each and every single one of you and I want you to know it.

Hello! I would like to warn everyone of an experience my roommate and I have just had, in case I can prevent it happening to anyone else. Or, you know, if anyone knows a lawyer who could advise us.

My roommate has a queen size Nectar mattress. Friday night, she spilled some water on the bed and took the cover off to air dry. She unzipped the cover, and a flame retardant sleeve (that we hadn’t known was there to begin with) made of woven fiberglass began shedding small fiberglass particles. They were airborne. The whole room and everything in it is contaminated, and there are few surfaces elsewhere in the apartment that don’t have at least a little. Nowhere on the mattress’ tags or on the Nectar website does it say there is a fiberglass sleeve. In fact, it makes a big deal of how there are five components: top of cover, three layers of foam, bottom of cover. Nothing about the flame retardant sleeve there. The label on the cover doesn’t say you can’t take it off, just that they suggest you don’t. It does not mention fiberglass as a material found in the mattress at all. The website even has a page explaining that you CAN take off the cover and wash it, if you must, just that they suggest you don’t. No real reasons given. No mention of fiberglass.

Our apartment is sparkly with fiberglass. We have had to drop money on a HEPA filter vacuum that could safely remove some of it, and on new non-permeable mattress covers to contain the worst of the source. We have had to garbage-bag up almost everything in her room. No amount of runs through the laundry seems to get it all out of clothes, and we have to thoroughly wipe out the washer and dryer drums every load. All her pillows were ruined, the chair in her room, her clothing, some expensive bras, a nice area rug, and I’m sure there will be trouble on the horizon with our landlord regarding the carpet, even if we do vacuum it as well as we can.

Lilly has been having nosebleeds, before the mattress was unzipped, but the worst one I’ve seen yet was the one that evening. She’s been sleeping on it almost a year, and it could have begun coming through the fabric cover. Nosebleeds are a sign of fiberglass inhalation.

We have contacted the company, and their response was honestly insulting. We were told that we shouldn’t have taken the mattress cover off to begin with, and that it can no longer be covered by the 365 night guarantee, despite us having had it for under the full year. I have just now, after three days trying, finally spoken to someone willing to look into our case, so here’s hoping we’ll get even a fraction of what we are, frankly, owed.

It really feels like there could be some sort of lawsuit here.

In fact, there is one, with a situation nearly identical to ours but with a different company. This was the first hit when I searched our problem online.

Anyway, if you have a Nectar mattress, don’t ever open the easily accessible warning-label-free zipper! If you have had it under a year, and it’s in its original condition, it can still be returned. If you were planning to get one, maybe don’t! A lot of the foam-mattress-in-a box types have the fiberglass, though most of them disclose the presence of the fiberglass rather than hiding it like a dirty secret. Make sure you do a search for mattresses WITHOUT fiberglass as a flame retardant.

Anything can be asexual culture if you try hard enough

hi yes I fully understand I've been quiet like I always am but I wanted to wish any aces who come across this a happy asexual awareness week 2019
