Reblog and put in the tags how you would die if your URL predicted your death

A curious incident of the dog in the night tim

My class is doing the play of the aform book. The main character has Autism so I’m concerned about the casting because how can you get accurate rep if you have neurotypicals playing characters who arent. So to all the people who can have valid opinions on this. Is it ableist for them to be playing this show?

I’ve seen a lot of posts on my dash tonight about users who are threatening suicide, with other Tumblr members posting in effort to try to get ahold of them. I think you all should see this:

IF THERE IS EVER A TUMBLR USER WHO HAS POSTED A GOOD-BYE MESSAGE, SUICIDE NOTE, VIDEO, OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS POST.

1. Scroll to the top of your dashboard.

2. See the circular question mark icon at the top? It’s the third one over from your home symbol. Click on that, and a screen similar to the one in the picture will come up.

3. Where you can type in questions, the box with the magnifying glass at the top, type in the word “suicide.”

4. Click on the first link that shows up. It should say, “Pass the URL of the blog on to us.”

5. Type in the user’s URL and tell Tumblr admin that the user is contemplating suicide and has posted a message indicating that they are going through with it or will be attempting. Hit send! Tumblr administration will perform a number of actions to contact the user and take the necessary steps to prevent the suicide.

TUMBLR: THIS COULD SAVE A USER’S LIFE. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE SUICIDE THREATS.

Reblog this to keep other users aware. Suicide isn’t a joke, and neither is someone’s life. If you didn’t know this, someone else may not, either. Pass it on.

HAPPY NATIONAL DAY OF LESBIANS

Happy national day of lesbians y’all. Especially to my fellow non-binary lesbians and trans lesbians. Y’all are so valid and I hope that in the f our community steps up and shows its support to all ou fellow lesbians no matter what. Also to my fellow beloved disabled lesbians having flare ups today or a good day yall are valid too and don’t ever feel less because people don’t understand how you can be a desirable queer person while not be their ideal type of body. We are all beautiful and deserves love from ourselves.

stop looking at disabilities through ableist lenses. if you have problems with your legs or feet but don’t use a wheelchair, you’re still disabled and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. mental illness? disabled. you don’t have to look or behave a certain way in the eyes of others to be disabled. you might not think you’re disabled, but the definition is:

“(of a person) having a physical or mental condition that limits movements, senses, or activities.”

Yes I relate to this so much

Disabled people: We're disabled-

Abled person: You mean...DIFFERENTLY ABLED?

No. No, if we say disabled, we mean disabled. Most of us hate the whole "differently abled" thing. If someone likes or prefers it, that's fine, but don't blanket assume we are or refer to us collectively as such. Disabled is not a dirty word.

I just discovered the bigger text setting and I’m sorry to all my fellow visually impaired people for not being able to read my posts sooner. This is great I can actually read my own posts sorta.

This is so cute

Sokka is the first to notice Zuko's loss of vision on the left

He approached him once in classic Sokka fashion, loud and annoying and with complete lack of respect for personal space

Zuko tried not to flinch too obviously but Sokka noticed anyway, ofc

Since then he always comes from the right

When he has to be at his left, he announces himself even more loudly than usual

No one else noticed much difference, but Zuko does

He's been waiting for the other shoe to drop ever since Sokka found about about his eye

He's expecting threats or weakness being taken an advantage of or other such plans as would be expected by the strategist of the team

He has no idea what to do with polite accommodation and normalcy

This continues while they're still not quite trusting each other, still figuring stuff out

Sokka remains respectful and knows it makes Zuko nervous to have anyone he doesn't trust on his left

This little fact is what changes everything at the Boiling Rock

At the temple, there isn't constant threat to Zuko. Sokka then can afford to be careful of the guy's boundaries, and he's not necessarily the closest to him either

But at the prison suddenly they're surrounded by hostile people everywhere

Sokka sticks to Zuko's left whenever they're together

Zuko notices, and by now he's at least realised that normal people trying to be his friends wouldn't use a weakness against him

He stopped expecting Sokka to turn on him a while ago, but here he notices what the strategist of the group actually does with knowing his team's weaknesses

He protects them, maybe even subconsciously

Sokka knows Zuko needs the reassurance, and he's always there, at his left

When they fight together, they fit into a rhythm unthinkingly, and from then on Sokka is always at his left

Zuko doesn't quite know what it's like to feel safe, but when Sokka is next to him, guarding his greatest insecurity, he thinks maybe he's learning

Sokka sits at his left in meetings with war hungry generals

Sokka still announces himself when coming to him from the left

When they start dating, it gets worse (better)

Sokka always has a hand or arm on or around him, and he's always on the left

Zuko thinks maybe he'll forget what it felt like for his left side to not feel safe

Now it's entirely just Sokka's space

Disability body positivity

Am I the only one who gets a little annoyed with the body positivity phrases ‘You are not your body’? Like yes I am my body. My body dictates everything I do and everywhere I go and how I experience life. Its ok that I have these problems and I’ll love my body anyway but I want people to stop telling me that I can love myself in spite of my body. I am my disabilities they define me but its ok to love and celebrate my disabilities. I know this is something abled people probably don’t think about too much but it feels patronizing.
