Every Time I Get Groceries Im Always Appalled At How Little You Can Get For Like, $20. I Was Making Banana

Every time I get groceries I’m always appalled at how little you can get for like, $20. I was making banana pudding so I needed vanilla wafers but the brand name nilla wafers cost $4 a box. The minimum wage in my state is $7.25/hr. My friend put it really well when he said “imagine you work for an hour and someone hands you two boxes of nilla wafers and said ‘actually this is a bit more than what I owe you’”

Every person need to be taught disability history

Not the “oh Einstein was probably autistic” or the sanitized Helen Keller story. but this history disabled people have made and has been made for us.

Teach them about Carrie Buck, who was sterilized against her will, sued in 1927, and lost because “Three generations of imbeciles [were] enough.”

Teach them about Judith Heumann and her associates, who in 1977, held the longest sit in a government building for the enactment of 504 protection passed three years earlier.

Teach them about all the Baby Does, newborns in 1980s who were born disabled and who doctors left to die without treatment, who’s deaths lead to the passing of The Baby Doe amendment to the child abuse law in 1984.

Teach them about the deaf students at Gallaudet University, a liberal arts school for the deaf, who in 1988, protested the appointment of yet another hearing president and successfully elected I. King Jordan as their first deaf president.

Teach them about Jim Sinclair, who at the 1993 international Autism Conference stood and said “don’t mourn for us. We are alive. We are real. And we’re here waiting for you.”

Teach about the disability activists who laid down in front of buses for accessible transit in 1978, crawled up the steps of congress in 1990 for the ADA, and fight against police brutality, poverty, restricted access to medical care, and abuse today.

Teach about us.

Arlington National Cemetery is not there for political campaign ads. Most people don’t go there for that and don’t want to see that when they do. Trump put out a TikTok video and dozens of campaign videos and photos.

His staff got into an altercation with an official at Arlington National Cemetery so they could take this ridiculous grinning thumbs up photo literally on the graves of dead soldiers.

When are his supporters going to get it? This man is a fraud.

Omg if you draw something from it I think I would die /pos

I’ve had too much fun with this, so the support is much appreciated <3

Hiya! I finally got around to publishing what I have of the fic I’m writing for your nalu week post (I reblogged the initial ask with the link, not sure if it was too long ago for you to get a notif)

Do you have an ao3 account that I can gift the fic to? I’d love to honor you officially if possible

(Also sorry it’s not done yet, the idea kind of spiraled out of control, but now that chapter three is done the hard part is over YIPPEE)

Oh My God!!!! I was NOT expecting a 20k ongoing fic!!! I've read the whole thing! It's so good Iove all these tropes haha. I'll be sure to draw something from it! I don't have an AO3 account but I do appreciate the gesture <3

(Don't apologise you're writing a multi-chap fanfic for free, thank you for giving the Fairy Tail fandom something to enjoy.)
