“I knew only one other person who was queer, and that person – G-d – was much, much queerer than I was.”
— Joy Ladin, “The Soul of the Stranger: Reading G-d and Torah from a Transgender Perspective”
It is not the job of disabled people to educate others on their disability. If you have questions, the internet exists and has swaths of information.
I know discourse is the word of choice in fandom nowadays but I kind of wish we would have stuck with “fandom wank” because it carries the implication that the anger involved culminated into effectively nothing and that the act was wholeheartedly masturbatory in nature rather than for any greater cause.
Posts about self-positivity are not the place to vent your self-negativity. If you see a post saying something like “Wow, I feel really good about myself today! I hope you have a good day”, it’s very inappropriate to reply with something like “I wish I could, but I’m miserable and nobody has ever liked me”.
It’s fine to make posts venting your emotions (as long as they’re tagged appropriately!), but adding that to someone else’s post - especially if it’s about them feeling good - not only brings the mood down for everyone involved, but also violates important social boundaries
If you wouldn’t say it to a stranger who wished you a good day in public, you shouldn’t say it to a stranger who wished you a good day online. This goes for all types of positivity posts.
there's a cherry blossom tree in DC that keeps blooming every year even though it shouldn't and the park service keeps thinking it's dead and then it keeps blooming! well they're removing a lot of trees to rehabilitate the area and they've said it's finally time for stumpy to go and they're going to mulch it and use the mulch to enrich all the other trees so it can help everything else keep going. and they're also going to plant spliced little pieces of it all over so that stumpy can live forever and this is genuinely sending me into a spiral

Wall of Shame for gif+fanworks thieves and their supporters who steal my stuff and can't even give me a very simple apology. I'm not asking for much y'all! When it's not dealing with reposters, a general blog about gifs and other relevant PSAs. Have fun reading them all, hopefully you'll learn something significant about how to interact with strangers you don't know online. Genuinely, I hope they help, but I won't entertain reposters, trolls, or any of their supporters. By the way, if you've reposted my stuff or tried to argue with me in favor of stealing and reposting other's hard work without giving proper credit and asking for Permissions, delete it!!! Any reblog here noting fanworks thieves or supporters stays up until relevant posts or conversations are fully, one hundred percent deleted. It's super easy!!! "ANYONE CAN DO IT!!!"
