#and it's so tiring

[one-blaze-of--glory]

one of the worst experiences ever to me have to be being around a group of allistics that have a regular interest they're all into that is very different from my hyperfixations. even if they don't intend to exclude me i am completely excluded in subtle ways. i have to listen to them bond over something i don't care about but the moment i bring up the thing i NEED to talk about to feel okay, they shut me down because they don't care and I'm too much either way. I'm exhausting

Something I really wish more creators would understand is that constantly complaining about your work not getting as much engagement as you'd like doesn't make me want to engage with your work more, it just makes you look bitter and the endless negativity makes me want to unfollow

It's definitely not the same thing but this is why I find gossiping and badmouthing other people so uncomfortable. Aside from being rude af, what are you getting out of it? A sense of superiority? Why do you feel like you need to compare yourself to people you have deemed as lesser or meaner than you, to prove your worth to those who share your same values?

can we please be more productive with our online time

I can't keep having the same conversations about love languages, mbti, iq, bmi, "brain fully formed at 25" and shit over and over again...

okay but there is something disquieting about this urge to cast fan writers as altruists. they give us all this for free!! well, no.

they’re sharing

it’s a key difference in perception. fic isn’t given. it’s shared. it’s part of a fandom community— in which readers are also an integral part.

it’s probably inevitable mission creep from the increasingly transactional nature of the internet and fandom-as-consumerism, which was always gonna happen after corps worked out how much bank there is to make from those weirdo fan people

but like. fandom is sharing. i think we’ve lost that somewhere.

I hate how often some (typically abled) people will go “well, if you can’t [get a specific support], then what?” when it comes to disabilities. As if it’s a “gotcha” moment. And then act like you’re exaggerating when you answer that question honestly.

Disabled people often die from a lack of support. A lot of disability aids are not a luxury, but a basic need in order to live.

“Well what happens if—” people die. People hurt themselves. People hurt others. Disabled people don’t magically become abled if our needs aren’t met.

If a bedbound quadriplegic is caught in a housefire, and there’s nobody there to save them, they’ll probably die. They won’t magically become able-bodied out of sheer will.

If a nonspeaking/nonverbal autistic is denied access to alternative methods of communication, they’ll suffer in silence. They won’t spontaneously become capable of speech.

Disabled people are disabled all the time. Our disabilities don’t go away just because they’re inconvenient, or if we’re in danger.

white americans when you tell them that the idea of climate change as an impending disaster is a reductive first world perspective because it’s a tangible reality for many in the global south already:
