im writing a horror quiz for all of you to take later 👀👀
Carlotta from Phantom of the Opera gets a raw deal! She refuses to perform until the theatre stops racking up OSHA violations and using her star power to effect change when anyone else on that stage would get fired!! Justice for Carlotta, who just wants safe working conditions!!
If you are American, PLEASE SUPPORT THE SSI RESTORATION ACT OF 2021
This new bill has been introduced in both the house and the Senate.
Among other things, it will:
Raise the monthly disability income by just over 30 percent - bringing it to poverty level.
Remove penalties for recieving financial help from friends and family.
Increase the amount of assets a disabled person may have from $2,000 to $10,000 (this hasn't been updated since 1989)
Update outside income restrictions to allow disabled people to receive up to $399 a month without reducing their benefits.
REWARD, not penalize, people who want to receive additional income while on social security income.
REMOVE THE MARRIAGE BAN YES YOU READ THAT RIGHT THIS WILL REMOVE THE MARRIAGE BAN
For those unaware current regulations do a lot to oppress disabled people. In fact marriage equality doesn't even extend to disbled people who risk having their benefits reduced or outright taken away if they marry someone. This means that in common law states disabled people can't even live with their significant other or they risk losing their financial independence.
Current regulations mean that if you're disbled you can't have so much as one penny over $2,000 to your name. So buying a car and gaining more independence or freedom is largely out of the question for disabled people.
Current regulations penalize social security recipients who receive income from outside sources, even if those sources are reimbursement. Did you get paid to babysit for a few hours? That's income, and you get your benefits reduced. Did you loan a friend $10 and they pay you back? The government considers that $10 income, and you get your benefits reduced.
These aren't mere anecdotes - these are all examples of actual things that have happened to disbled people I know, and if you have any disabled friends in your life I'm sure they can tell you the same stories.
If you value marriage equality, if you value financial independence, if you value the rights of disbled people, please PLEASE support this bill! Contact your reps, vote, and make noise! This is a great thing!
Pass the happy! 🧡 When you get this, reply with five things that make you happy and send this to the last ten people in your notifications!

Aparently all the aphobes are being forced out of the woodwork today, so I’m going to make it explicitly clear that asexuals and aromatics are important members of the lgbtqia+ community and are welcomed here. This includes asexual cisromantics, who are told too often they are not a part of the community. You are valid and you do belong here.
since there’s a lot of aphobia going on in the fandom right now - I want every fellow ace to know that this is a safe place for you!!
weird unprompted opinion but i think out of all the storytelling mediums…..theatre best portrays loneliness
reblog if you’re a safe place for:

bisexual

pansexual
demisexual

cis-women
non binary folks
the whole spectrum etc…
