whats the difference between outlaws and inlaws
i have a lesbian friend called Maggie who claims to be stupid but has given me some of the most powerful advice ive ever received, information that only a lesbian could deliver
“You can do the thing.” Rae Dizzle
“Guys, Gals, and Non-Binary Pals.” Thomas Sanders
“Stay up on that rise.” Brendon Urie
PETA: They’d rather spend their money on publicity campaigns than on the animals in their care. PETA killed 73.8% of the animals in their care in 2015 (x)
FCKH8: Is a for-profit company that exploits oppressed groups for money. They’re also wildly uninformed, and spread misogyny, cissexism and bi/panphobia, as well as stealing their posts/designs (x)
Autism Speaks: They spend most of their money on researching a way to eliminate autism, heighten the stigma against autism and don’t have a single autistic person on their board (x)
Please support other, better charities, and feel free to add any others you can think of to this.
The medical community on literally every female specific health issue ever: “very common condition” “no known cause” “no known cure” :))))))
lmao, idk i see these screenshots from martin shkreli’s trial and i just see how potential jury members act for instance:
like yall what kinda opportunity are you passing up, you have a real live capitalist in here who fucked up so bad you actually get the chance to make him face consequences and you’re like “sorry i can’t be unbiased”
WHO CAN??? it’s just gonna end up being a bunch of rich people who are like “hm, yeah hurting poor people, i can be impartial, sure.”
instead it should be yall who actually care. just be like “haha, yeah i’m impartial i love justice” and then slap him with that guilty verdict. come on.
this is the money garf. reblog for untold pasta and riches to come your way
A big excuse i hear when i talk about things not being accessible to disabled people is “well it wasnt on purpose. They just didnt think of it like that” or “they didnt do it cause they hate disabled people, they just forgot”
When i complained about how into the spider-verse, along with other movies, has flashing lights that caused seizures and has no made it so disabled people cant even be safe watching a movie, it was “oh well, they didnt mean to make it that way! They just didnt know. You cant hate them for not knowing” despite the fact this is a hugely common complaint made towards movies, especially action movies, and theres almosy always papework they need to fill out for safety precaution.
Or when i complained that there will be places that have three sets of stairs but no ramp or elevator, i got “well its not that they dont want disabled people there, they just didnt think to put one in”
Or when disabled people who play video games went to twitter and brought up the fact many are not safe and the controllers arent as accessible as they should be, they were slammed with the excuse “well how were people supposed to know disabled people played video games?”
The list goes on. And what people dont get is that not knowing isnt an excuse, forgetting us isnt an excuse, excluding us simply because you didnt think to include us isnt an excuse for excluding us.
Ignorant ableism is still ableism, accidental ableism is still ableism and theres no excuses anymore.
You cant just “accidentally” forget disabled people exist, you cant just make a whole movie using lights that, for decades, have been criticized for being life threatening to disabled people and then have fans defend it with “well they didnt know”. You cant just say “its okay that this franchise made a dangerous video game and this corporation made consol after consol not accessible because they didnt think disabled people could play video games, and have that be a valid excuse.
Theres no valid reason why disabled people cant watch movies, go to places, and play games without it being accessible and safe, theres no valid reason to forget we exist.
Theres no valid reason to not include us, theres only ableist reasons. And sometimes that reason is “they hate disabled people” and other times its “they forgot about disabled people cause they never bothered to remember” or its “they didnt think to include disabled people because they dont care”.
Stop excusing this shit.
