WAIT. HE IS AT A REDSKINS GAME IN WASHINGTON DC. That’s the equivalent of me dressing like a Ram for a football game here in STL. Sit down you fucking SJW. Omg stfu
“Dressing up as a person of color is the same as dressing up as an animal” “it’s ok to excuse this man doing redface/brownface because it’s for a sports team” “even though actual indigenous people protest against the use of their culture and people as mascots there is nothing wrong with what this man is doing” “I am going to dismiss an indigenous persons feelings and be ignorant to protect someone from something I don’t understand” those are all things you sound like when making an uneducated ugly comment like u did above
“Dressing up as a person of color is the same as dressing up as an animal”
This is how who’re people really think too ????

PLEASE DO NOT SEE THE MOVIE ME BEFORE YOU. It is incredibly ableist and honestly insulting to the disability community. You want to know why I’m so upset about this movie? When i was about 8 i was doing a back handspring out in my yard and considering i did acrobatics it wasn’t a big deal. However, this time was different, i made a positioning error and would up landing on my neck. When i tried to get up i couldn’t, my legs and arms wouldn’t move. I started screaming and crying and my friends ran to go get help. I remember everything about what happened: my parents on the phone with 911, being in the ambulance, at the hospital in a neck brace getting all sorts of scans and tests done. I remember laying in my hospital bed being quadriplegic and absolutely terrified. My parents thought i would be in a wheelchair for the rest of my life and so did my doctors. It was a miracle when feeling came back into my arms and legs. For those of you who do not know the plot of the movie/book it’s about a man who comes from a wealthy family and is in a horrible accident leaving him quadriplegic. He wants to end his life but his family promises to give him 6 more months and if he’s not happy by then he can end his life. During these 6 months he meets a new caretaker and falls in love with her. The trailers of this movie make it seem as though once he meets her life is better and he is finally happy. However, at the end of the movie he winds up having an assisted suicide his family is happy they no longer need to care for him and he leaves this girl a bunch of money so she can travel and “live boldly” as the movie puts it and it is portrayed as benefiting everyone. All i can think of is some scared little girl in a hospital bed paralyzed watching this movie because she thinks he finds happiness when really he ends his life. I’ve seen posts in the support group i run from disabled people saying this movie plot makes them want to end their lives. Not only that, i received a message on my blog yesterday from a young girl telling me she read the plot of the movie and it made her want to end her life, i talked her out of it luckily but what this movie is doing to the disabled community is horrific. Not only does this movie romanticize suicide it is making others who are disabled want to end their lives as well. If you see this movie you are feeding into the ideology that people who are disabled should all end their lives and the world is better without us. Don’t go pay to see this movie, it’s bad enough this is already a book.

people who complain about dinosaurs “not being scary anymore” because its been discovered they have feathers and are closely related to/ancestors of birds are so bizarre like
- its not about how scary they are, they are/were real life animals and what matters is learning more about them, not how well they fit into your science fiction horror film lol
- can you imagine a 13 foot chicken running at you with full intent to eat you??? thats fucking terrifying holy shit
peacocks are synonymous with vain, frivolous beauty and they will attack cars. they will attack you while you try to get to your car. they’re like six feet of useless feathers and they will destroy you. imagine if they were carnivorous and had functional spurs.
a t-rex could look like a gay disco ball and i guarantee that you would fucking book it if it had a problem with you
listen
listen
have you ever met a swan
if anything the birdier they get the scarier they are

At some point in the last few years doing Official Banking Things went from making me feel like I was a twelve year old playing dress up and for some reason getting away with it to making me feel more competent and responsible and in-control.
It probably has something to do with the mortage. Not so much that after a mortgage, everything else seems like peanuts, but because I spent years expecting someone to say “Shit, we didn’t mean to let you buy this house! You’re a kid! It was a joke! It’s all a big mistake, we can’t believe you thought it was real, you have a month to move to a shitty apartment.”
It’s now been almost seven years of that not happening, so it’s starting to sink in that maybe, just maybe, I’m a Grown Up where these things are concerned.
Or, y’know, everyone else is just as secretly bewildered inside as me. That’s likely, too.
I wonder if becoming an adult is about reaching the point when trying to do something financial or bureaucratic is more “oh god, this again”, as opposed to just “oh god” (my former reaction to these things).
