"This is an accessible venue"

Is it though? Or does it just have a ramp? Does it have a toilet? Is that toilet up steps? Is the venue at the top of a steep hill that's painful to get up? Is there no bus stop outside it? Once there's an event on inside, can I actually MOVE with a mobility aid?

me stumbling over the awkwardly arranged chairs in a too-small room, or the visible discomfort on the faces of wheelchair or rollator users moving through, is not accessibility

It's great that we can get in the door. Can we then... move around? Can we go take a piss or buy a drink?

Granny and Bugs short about who can win at losing.

They call it a draw.

something fun about all those "could granny weatherwax defeat kira" "could the infinity train fix izzy hands" sort of tumblr polls is like. there's a smug answer that's just "it depends whose story they're in," like, bugs bunny always wins if the genre is a looney tunes short but if he's in some sort of grimdark action drama then he's just a rabbit and gets shot by a hunter. but the other way to look at those polls is that's the whole question: whose genre rules have priority? there are some characters whose genre rules take priority over whatever story they're in.

here's what i say, granny weatherwax would always defeat kira precisely because granny can't exist in the death note universe without her own genre rules taking over; there's no "if it's a light yagami story then light wins" here because if granny's there it isn't a light yagami story. bugs bunny always wins because whatever story he enters becomes a looney tunes short, he cannot by his nature exist in any other context. the answer to "which our flag means death character could survive black sails?" is stede bonnet and only stede bonnet, because if any other ofmd character enters black sails they become a black sails character and most black sails characters die. but stede is the one who carries the romcom aura and that's part of who he is, if stede enters the world of black sails then black sails is now a romcom, and he's absolutely fine

I don’t think there’s a need to thank me. I believe I’ll always make time for you. No matter how loud the silence echoes between us and we don’t talk, I’ll always answer when you reach out.

Don’t thank me. Because my time is yours.

Such is the reality of a heart longing for something it cannot reach.

When we share a fear, a quiet worry, or a fragment of a dream, it's as if a new window opens in the world. There’s a bravery in showing those soft, unguarded places, and in receiving them, a profound tenderness blooms. Our love is built not on strength, but on the courage to be vulnerable; to let our fragile selves be truly seen and held.

If T makes you gain weight and E and antidepressants do it too, and so does enjoying good food and not being hungry all the time, then perhaps maybe sometimes joy & weight gain come hand in hand and that's good

the fact that i'm no longer the same age as the protagonists of novels and films i once connected to is so heartbreaking. there was a time when I looked forward to turning their age. i did. and i also outgrew them. i continue to age, but they don't; never will. the immortality of fiction is beautiful, but cruel.

It will never not baffle me how hard society tries to insist that fatness is an abnormality. The average western woman wears plus size clothing. One of the smallest garments on the scale is called a medium. Most people with anorexia are in the overweight bmi category, yet somehow that's known as "atypical anorexia". Fatness is often labeled the cause of a number of diseases, but there are literally no diseases exclusive to fat bodies. Looking at movies and television, you'd think the world was 98% thin people. It's not.

My point isn't that if it was pretty rare to be fat, fatphobia would be okay. Of course not.

My point is that we're surrounded by all these artificial indicators that fatness is unnatural and uncommon and it's just not true?? Humans are not always thin and we've never all been thin and we're not all meant to be thin. Fat humans are a normal type of human. Fatness is a feature, not a bug.
