When I say “school should be disability accessible”, I don’t just mean we need handicap rails and EAs. Kids should be able to miss a day without failing out of school. You shouldn’t be dismissed from clubs because your attendance record is “spotty” (true story). I once missed an entire week of school because of a terrible, unending migraine. I was expected to keep up with my studies despite the blinding pain that came with working on my computer. When I heard my teachers say that you couldn’t miss exams, I asked what I would have to do to be excused from them. Their response? “Either get a doctor’s note an hour before the exam or death of an immediate family member.”

I cannot express how rigid this expectation was. First of all, with my condition, I wouldn’t have enough warning about my sickness to go to the doctor and request a note. For many people, this is exceptionally difficult, especially with the current shortage of medical professionals. Next, it ignores the fact that my schedule may not line with theirs because of my medical needs. Once, I had to visit a hospital a province away (which I was on the waiting list of for over a year) on the same day as an exam. I begged my mother not to take me because I was so nervous that I would be marked as an automatic fail. I was lucky enough to make it work, but that’s only because of my spectacular support system consisting of family members and wonderful doctors.

Disabilities aren’t always about needing a bus that can accommodate wheelchairs. It’s already difficult enough for many of us to maintain school attendance without the harsh punishments involved for skipping a day. We need to be able to miss school without being punished. Only than can you claim that the school is “accessible”

when making a character remember! are they a FAG?

Fucked up beyond belief

Actually would suck in real life (and ideally in the story too)

currently Feeling Things about the fact that jango’s armor isn’t silver by choice; when he was a member of the true mandalorians, he painted it to look like this

it’s only silver bc after his adoptive family was killed and he was sold into slavery, his armor was taken as a trophy and “””restored””” (i.e., stripped of paint and polished) by a wealthy collector. 

and yet, when he escaped slavery and took back his armor, he never bothered to paint it again. after this point, he also never reclaimed his title as mand’alor, never tried to regather the true mandalorians, and became more and more isolated from his people. it’s as if, in the same way his armor was stripped of the color and meaning he’d given it, jango too was stripped of his sense of identity and belonging as a mandalorian. as if he never again felt worthy of being that person again, or even appearing to be him, so he chose to keep his armor —and by extension himself—as a blank slate.

(also interesting that, upon inheriting his father’s armor, boba repainted it to recreate jango’s original design. maybe jango never saw himself as worthy after galidraan but his son sure did)

we have tales of the jedi and tales of the empire, we need tales of the clones featuring backstories/training details (especially for tbb), what happens to cody, how wolffe gets out, the clone rebellion, etc.

As pride month begins, let us not forget our Palestinian brothers and sisters.

Cooking horror game where you play as a cook working in the galley of a ship in the 1800s. There’s some kind of supernatural nautical horror story going on in the background but you barely notice this because you spend all day cooking in the galley.

goddamn gender inflation, can’t have shit these days

Made the mistake of bringing up that needing glasses is a disability on tiktok and people got real mad.

“You can fix it with glasses” yeah, cuz they’re a disability aid? But like, I still have to pay 160 bucks to use my own fucking eyes?

Like, by definition, if your eyes do not work without aid, you have a disability to see.

Having a disability doesn’t automatically put you in what people consider the “disabled” category, but that doesn’t change the fact that it is in fact, a disability.
