I Know There's A Literacy Crisis Or Whatever But That Doesn't Give You The Right To Go After People With

I know there's a literacy crisis or whatever but that doesn't give you the right to go after people with intellectual disabilities and people with brain fog and learning disabilities. Sometimes we need help understanding something, we might ask "dumb/obvious" questions. It doesn't mean we aren't trying to pay attention or use critical thinking. Responding to someone's question on the internet with snobby wisecracks about how the person should learn to read or go back to 1st grade is rude at best and ableist at worst. Just ignore the question if you don't want to answer. Don't flatter yourself saying how progressive you are if you turn around and make fun of your friend for asking a question after a movie.

My partner let's me pause and ask questions during shows and movies bc he loves me and wants me to enjoy what we're watching too instead of sitting there confused cause my brain couldn't catch up. Or I lost attention for a few seconds and missed something important.

Some trans people are like me when picking names. I kept my last name and picked names that started with the same letters to keep my initials because I wanted to respect the names my parents gave me.

Some trans people are like one of my friends. She changed her entire name including her last name because she hates her dad and doesn’t want to be associated with him.

Some people are like this other person I know. They didn’t change their name at all because screw you that’s their name so you should deal with it.

Do whatever you want with your name. It’s your name. Nobody else’s. Different things will be important to you. That’s your business.

friendly reminder that you don't need any diagnosis or disorder to adapt your routine to accommodate you! sit down in the shower. brush your teeth and wash your face in the shower. bring a chair to the kitchen while you cook. use unscented products. your routine should be built for you.
