disability advocacy went wrong when it became about inspiration porn and “differently abled” and savants. its incredible that that guy with no legs did a triathlon but your sister with no legs will not and she doesnt need prosthetics or five hour training days to deserve respect and compassion and accommodations. its incredible that that autistic guy can look at a city from a helicopter for an hour and then draw the entire detailed skyline from memory when he lands but your autistic friend cannot and they dont need to have a special Autism Power to deserve respect and compassion and accommodations.
activism framed around “we are just as CAPABLE” means that when people genuinely are less capable they are left behind. activism framed around “we are just as WORTHY” is fundamental to radical compassion.
starkid fans when they see Normal Man and his Barista Crush onscreen for 0.5 seconds:
I believe you owe me some Ruth and Richie headcanons?
I love those silly billys so much
Firstly, I do have a little fanfic series (it's like 4 oneshots) that's like post npmd where Ruth and Richie come back as ghost (self promo because I don't have many headcanons to say right now)
Ruth:
Her favourite musical is Be More Chill
Sometimes she has a meltdown in a bathroom then calls it 'playing Michael In The Bathroom' because it makes her feel better about it
She was posting bad star wars fanfics on ff dot net, bad self insert fics on wattpad, and really good star wars fanfics on ao3
Her best subject is history because she gets too into researching it (if something mythology based is a class, then that's her favourite because sex myths)
She's constantly cold
Ruth exclusively owns novelty socks
Adhd
Richie:
His favourite anime is Soul Eater
He Naruto runs places without realizing it
Let his autistic ass stim, okay?
He hides behind Ruth a lot, despite being so much taller than her
He is Ruth's beta reader for fanfics
His best subject is math because 'it's just formulae' (his second best is art except his teacher hates him because he keeps handing in fanart)
He's constantly overheating
Having a really long-term hyperfixation that has since faded is terrifying yes but it's also so embarrassing. Hi I used to think about Scrimblo Splungus 25/7. Yeah, for 2 years straight. Nah, I don't think about them anymore except for with a vague sense of melancholy as I recall how they used to make me feel. Anyways this new one, Blimpkins McGee? I'm gonna think about them forever and the cycle will NOT repeat in 2 years. Trust me guys.
which one of u was going to tell me that tea tastes different if u put it in hot water?
So. Got too silly. Here's Grace Chasity to Unsweetened Lemonade :))
(this is only my second ever edit it might not be up to anyone else's standards lol)
This took me like a week 😭
Managed to piece together and figure out the background of the hatchetfield tarot cards- here’s a template if anybody wants to use it for their own hatchetfield oc’s.
The Black Tarot [descriptions] 3 days left for the TGWDLM: Reprised! Kickstarter
I think Pokey should be a Character in the Revival actually. Like have him be sitting in the audience in costume bragging and making comments about his 'Magnum Opus'. You can have him played by Corey and have someone else play Bill. Or do Bryce! Pokey she'd be awesome at it
Finished Pokey!
Bonus Wiggly and Blinky
I need to take breaks between the Lords so I forget how much my fingers hurt after I sew one of these
Keeping the floof as is
Though tbh, pokey is the one who creeps me out most as a doll
We're so back
Big on Legends of Avantris, Starkid and Smosh so there's gonna be a lot of that
