this is by no means comprehensive, as this app has a skewed demographic to begin with, but I'm just trying to decide on whether this is a worthwhile topic for the women and gender studies project I'm doing.

dyslexia friendlier version! because i despise this post format, but adore the sentiment...

i love you people who:

• give object characters detailed limbs

• give object characters animal-like limbs/features

• give object characters little clothes and accessories that give them more personality

• give object characters disability aids

• give object characters little details such as scars, cracks, or even facial hair

• do silly and fun extra things with object characters <3

yknow, one of things about the book that would have really benefited from an upgrade was a heavier focus on the characters' adhd and dyslexia. i really figured the show would build on the neurodivergency angle, since it's supposedly the updated version of pjo, but if anything there was LESS mention of it??

in honor of me having to edit powerpoints made by other teachers, here's a list of fuckin questions to ask yourself when you import a slides theme off the internet

is the font fucking legible

is everything 18 point font or bigger

is there enough fucking contrast between the background color and the text color

do the default pictures have fucking anything to do with your presentation

if you answered no to any of these questions, fix it before anyone has to look at it

discovered that norwegians write 'champignon' as sjampinjong. this is worse than finding out 'chauffeur' is spelled as sjåfør.

every professor and hell university/college should have to present their teaching methods to a panel of disabled people before they are allowed to implement them

When I see AO3 when I'm not logged in, it always shocks me. Like I forget how unappealing/difficult to read it is to me. Has me thinking—

If yes, tag what skin you use/what it looks like (if your comfydoing that).

Uhhh respectfully with regards to your post complaining about how Susan is said to be bad at school, please be aware that you basically saying that Susan being bad at school = they say Susan is stupid. There are LOTS of reasons why very intelligent people are bad at school. Including but not limited to learning disabilities like dyslexia, neurodivergencies like ADHD, PTSD, etc. It's ableist to equate "bad at school" to "stupid" so please just be aware of that for the future! Thanks so much! I really loved everything in that post of yours except that one thing that made me kind of uncomfortable and I thought you probably didn't know so thought I should let you know.

Thank you for your concern, Anon! I really appreciate how politely you worded this instead of outright yelling at me.

The irony of this situation is that my sibling and I actually have struggled with school over the years due to various neurodivergences/disabilities like dyslexia, dyscalculia, and OCD tendencies. And I am incredibly insecure about this!! Because I am very new to actually being a part of a community where I can talk about this stuff, and I have worked really hard to hide all of those things my whole life.

I almost went in another direction with the post, and suggested different things Susan may have struggled with, because I wholeheartedly believe she was NOT stupid. But my own anxiety took command there.

My initial idea was that the teachers and adults who were observing her from the outside wouldn't have recognized the reasons she was "no good at school". Either because they didn't have the context of what happened in Narnia, because she worked hard at hiding it because she felt the pressure to be a "good girl", or just because in that timeframe people didn't know about as much about learning disabilities!

Because the idea behind that post was about how the people in England/"our world" misunderstood Susan, and how she had to decide between playing the part people expected of her (Which may have included being pretty over smart) and choosing to be herself.

But, as I said, I chickened out and kind of skimmed over the topic. I didn't mean to imply anything, and I'm sorry for how that may have come off.

Thank you for pointing that out to me, because I hadn't realized how my own nervousness about speaking to something I deal with can come off as ableist or insensitive. The line between being honest and objective and sounding like I'm complaining or begging for attention is something I am incredibly wary of, and I don't have a lot of experience with conducting myself correctly around this topic.

Once again, I really appreciate how kindly you mentioned this and explained it to me. I will work to be aware of this and be more careful in the future.

really regret not being a bigger asshole to people who felt the need to make jokes about me using a screenshader.
