Everyone Loves Going To The Beach In The Summertime

"You wouldn't last an hour in the asylum where they raised me."

Somehow I don't think this is where Taylor Swift was raised.

Asylums we centers of horrific abuse, primarily of disabled people.

They were tied or chained up.

They were experimented on.

They were sexually abused and raped.

They were beaten.

They were degraded.

They were neglected.

They were murdered.

Asylums served as a way to hide away people with disabilities from society, pretend they never existed, and leave them to die alone, afraid, and in pain. Many having little to no idea why.

The fact that Taylor Swift, an able bodied, neurotypical billionaire who has never encountered even a fraction of the oppression asylum victims did and disabled people still do, thinks this is an acceptable metaphor is nothing short of selfish, vile, out of touch ableism.

She is profiting off of the abuse and the murder of disabled people. She's making light of their abuse by comparing it to her cushy, well to do childhood.

Let's take a look at Taylor Swift's "asylum":

Huge house. Huge yard. Detached two-car garage. In ground pool.

This is not an asylum. It's a home. She had a home. She had her family around her. That family did what they could to support her and make her successful.

That is not asylum life.

She was not experimented on by doctors who believed she was incapable of thinking or feeling. She was not left for dead because nobody could be bothered to clean and feed her when she was incapable of doing so herself. She was not denied access to society or human connection. She was not murdered for being disabled.

Might she have been abused? Sure. Abuse does not make an asylum.

This lyric is nothing short of ableist, and it demonstrates with incredible clarity that Taylor Swift only supports minorities when it makes her look good and suits her purposes. She doesn't care about actually being informed about oppression or being a good person. She'll use minorities in whatever ways she believe will rake in the most profit. She doesn't care who she hurts, as long as she adds another couple millions to her billions.

It's time to demand some real accountability.

Calling a canon bisexual woman a lesbian becuase she has a female love interest or is in a wlw relationship is bisexual erasure and biphobic!!!!

"AH HAH! You are a lesbophobe because you have an au where you genderbend characters"

like fuck off HH fandom. Everyone genderbends chars

I. Am. So. Sick. Of. This. Fandom.

Seriously, how are these folks immediately gonna assume the op is homophobic because of this??? They already know Vaggie's a lesbian!! They know she's a girl. This is literally just an au fanart with FICTIONAL characters! Y'all act like it's the most abnormal thing for people to gender-bend characters.

"Is it insensitive for me to say that I won't love you until you sort out your problems on your own without help or support from me?"

Yes.

imagine saying this about your boyfriends mental health issues

and then wondering why he didn’t want to marry you

me first finding out about "clown husbandry" and assuming that it was some like clown fetish thing: uhh okay- i mean pop off i guess

Day 3: Fullmoon

Little guys! I enjoyed this one, even though I was stumped at first.

Au notes:

They met in the colony when gourmand returned. Nightcat is a nocturnal slugcat that can be chaotic but often sleepy. Gourmand is helpful and understanding, and is always a shoulder to lean on (and fall asleep on). Nightcat will fall asleep on gorm's shoulder, and gourmand will stay still and let him sleep.

Gourmand - Any pronouns, nonbinary, bi, asexual

Nightcat - he/she/it, nonbinary, aro ace spec bi

More notes and calendar under cut

Gourmand shows his love by carrying Nightcat home when it fell asleep, giving it gifts or cooking for it.

Nightcat shows her love for gourmand by choosing to spend her time with them, and giving them compliments.

They snuggle constantly.

Art notes:

Things friends can't do according to allos!

(these are all things I have been told with 100% sincerity, and not stuff that I myself believe. Also I know not all allos are like this.)

Give each other meaningful gifts

Pay attention to the others likes and dislikes

Look at one another in a 'certain way' (???)

Match clothes or accessories

Hold hands for 'too long' (???)

Hug for 'too long' or hug 'too close' (???)

Cuddle because it's 'too intimate'

Not want to pull away during a hug or holding hands

Lean onto the other emotionally and physically

Smile in one another's presence

Laugh at each others jokes

Give genuine advice

Text each other 'good morning' 'good evening' 'good night' 'happy birthday' 'happy new years' 'merry Christmas' etc, etc
