So this is vagueing on a disability representation post that means well and so I feel like a jerk but ugg GG hgghhhh

They're recommending describing fantasy/sci-fi disability aids like it's a Tom Swift novel or something like ohhhh 'she was in a wheeled contraption that responded to her commands by some means' as if it's the first time the protagonist has ever seen something like that

And like. My kid isn't in school yet. He's a Pandemic Baby and has had extremely limited contact with anyone outside his immediate family his whole short life. And that's its own set of problems for sure but... he knows Three wheelchair users on sight and by name. He's been in quarantine/isolation his entire life and he knows three people in both powered and self-propelled wheelchairs. Why does my baby who has met 15 people total have more experience of disabled people than your hypothetical adult protagonist who is supposed to be modeling disability positivity.

Just say they're in a wheelchair or a hoverchair or have hearing aids or whatever I honestly think it is better to just say the words even if they are not very sci-fi than to present this as the first and only disabled person who has ever visibly existed in that world pleeeeease

I might be gay panicking but I just went to my local bookstore to buy myself a very gay book and when I went to pay for that book (and also order the other very gay book in the series) the girl at the register was all like “oh I love those books, they’re amzing” and then we talked a little (me, with my social anxiety, talked to this woman like what???) and then she complimented my handbag and like????????? I’m definitely gay panicking

Doctors should snark at each other more, be a bit mean. Not for no reason, mind you. But if five doctors blow me off about symptoms and doctor number six FINALLY runs actual tests and gets a diagnosis, I think it should be Doctor Six's right to call up the other five and tell them they're lazy pieces of shit. That should be socially encouraged. Those first five doctors clearly can't listen to patients, but maybe another doctor might finally get to them.

tbh i think the funniest phenomena that's been happening in the last couple years is "youtuber, having gone too deep into the research hole, has been made an investigative journalist against their will"

wait do people read first person stories and think they're the ones in the story???

Saw people talking about not liking first person, which is fair, but their reasoning was like "I would not do that" and I don't understand that mindset.

First person stories are still about a character. A character making their own decisions. First person isn't about you???? At least I thought it wasn't. What am I missing? I've always seen first person as just a more in-depth look into a character's mind and stricter POV. Not as a reader stand-in.
