I am once again explaining that in order for walkable cities and public transit to work for disabled people, there also need to be more public bathrooms available in and around those areas. Not just places to sit down or rest. Bathrooms. We need accessible, clean bathrooms. With sharps bins. With multiple wheelchair accessible stalls. With an area to set down supplies needed to maintain one’s body. Even if it’s not being used to get rid of bodily waste, bathrooms are one of the few spaces disabled people have to maintain some sort of privacy when they’re in the middle of a flare up or they need to take medication or what have you. Designing a public space? Include bathrooms.
It would be incredibly tasteless for me to do a “Titanic” spam rn, wouldn’t it?
The sub is named the TITAN.
THE CEO IS SUPPOSEDLY ON BOARD.
IT. WAS. BOLTED. SHUT. FROM. THE. OUTSIDE. They could be on the surface and still die from running out of oxygen because they literally can’t get out and the sub is, obviously, air tight.
tiktokers who say classic lit is bad because its not relatable 1. thats not the fucking point 2. you’ve clearly never read twelfth night as a trans bisexual
you’ve clearly never read Frankenstein as a student
If you’re fucked up enough a lot of classic lit suddenly becomes uncomfortably relatable tbh.
This is 100% true, but also: literature is a great way to engage with people you don’t actually relate to, and practice feeling empathy for them anyway. I have never been in a battle, but I have cried over the Iliad multiple times because I was suddenly made very aware that every single war has people like Hector in it, who leave their families one day and just never come home to them. Please keep looking for things you find relatable in unexpected places - but not everything has to be relatable for it to be worthwhile.
Not everything has to be about you to be worth reading

You main character assholes are getting dumped at the altar or dying from too much amnesia or getting stranded on an island, but me? I’m dealing with Too Many Beets, or I found $100 on the road, or a bird is very here” /End ID]
goodnight to introverts, extroverts, bisexuals, d-list celebrities, fans who raised their hands, people who keep talking when they panic, twitter ratios, self-proclaimed morons, people who haven’t put their phones down in 8 hours, people who are on tumblr instead of studying for finals, news outlets that report based on tweets alone, people who have to be up early tomorrow, and most importantly, good night to the supernatural actors’ agents.
me as an nhl reporter in a post-game press interview: so do you agree that feeling the most secure touching each other while wearing literal armour is a metaphor for the human condition? your vulnerability in these goal celebrations is offset by the fact that you aren’t actually physically touching each other; you literally can’t touch each other, and this is the only time you try. does that fact ever make you reflect on your relationships with your teammates? would you so gleefully have held him if he’d achieved a victory in his personal life, off the ice? in his home? the padding protects you in more ways than one, does it not? isn’t this the nature of human connection, played out on television screens like a soap opera? don’t you think we all watch because we want to hold our friends after their successes and console them after our losses but feel blocked by their armour? by our own?
the nhl player who just physically exerted himself for a full hour who’s still out of breath and sweating and only picked up 1/5th of what i just said: uhhhh, wh— well, it’s a team effort out there, we, uhh, give it 110%—
if u had asked me . days ago. what the misha collins psychological warfare chamber would entail i would’ve said Well i dont really know. but a scenario entirely of his own creation in which he Accidentally co-opts the good gay fight via chronic foot in mouth disease and then is forced to watch, perspiring heterosexually, as Big Gay News pounces on his total bullshit verbal diarrhea & the official Stands twitter account proudly and sincerely labels him an Out Queer Man . and then he gets ratioed on twitter. i’d say Yeah that would probably do it
I am not a spn fan, I have never seen a single episode of spn, but let me tell you that every time I see it trending I am ready to receive some completely batshit crazy mind-blowing unhinged piece of information
