#competing support needs

[lesbxdyke]

Decided to steal my own tags from This Post because I didn't want to detract from the very good points being made about wheelchair accessibility in the art

So I'm disabled. And I often have to use crutches as a mobility aid. Sometimes one, sometimes two. And even with that, I still sometimes can't get around.

There have been numerable occasions in my life where something has been marked as 'accessible' that is not accessible to me, because it was made with ONLY wheelchair users in mind.

And like I said in my tags, it's a genuinely great thing that things are now being made with wheelchair users in mind! I am genuinely heartened and happy that wheelchairs users are being recognised in public spaces and accommodated for!

But they are not the be all and end all of physically disabled people.

I need the extra space of a disabled bathroom. Especially as another physical disability of mine causes me to often require space to change underwear or clothing.

However, if I'm having a bad pain day, I can't wash my hands. Because the only sink is at the height for a wheelchair user. So my options are to eschew hygiene and pray that a cleaner wipes down the door handle regularly so others aren't interacting with a thing that I have touched without washing my hands, OR risk furthering my own pain by bending to reach the sink, which could end in me stuck in the bathroom as my back seizes and I cannot move.

As I'm sure you can imagine from reading that, neither option is a good option, but one is a safer one for me. And I hate it. I'm 'lucky' in that I have to always carry baby wipes with me anyway so I'm somewhat able to mitigate the hygiene issue, but what if I didn't? What if I didn't have the extra disability and just had the back problems that required the extra space of the disabled bathroom for my mobility aids? What then?

I also have a radar key (for those not in the UK: disabled bathrooms are often locked. A radar key is a skeleton key for disabled bathrooms all around the UK) so I can always gain access to the disabled bathrooms. Except... I often have to find staff to help me open them anyway because the door handles are low and I can't bend to press them.

Now this post isn't me saying that the world should be built only to cater to me in particular (tho gods it would be nice!)

This post is talking about competing support needs and how my experience as a disabled person, struggling with how so much 'accessible' stuff is only designed for wheelchair users is just as valid as a wheelchair user celebrating that they can use an ATM and a public bathroom without needing the aid of a stranger or a carer.

I've seen quite a lot of people, in real life and elsewhere on the internet, want to call it Ableist when people ask for there to be a different option that would be inaccessible for a wheelchair user to use within an accessible area like a bathroom. They think it's able bodied people, or parents (since often in the UK, disabled bathrooms also double as baby changing, which is a whole different kettle of fish) demanding we take away the accessibility that the bathrooms are there for. They don't think about people on crutches, or canes, or with mobility that changes by day, or who can walk unaided but cannot bend, or, or, or.

Two sinks in a disabled bathroom would change my life. One wheelchair accessible, one not. I could wash my hands. Other people who needed the bathroom could wash their hands. Everyone could be hygienic in an accessible way!

Two ATMs, side by side. One lower, one higher. I can access my money. Wheelchair users can access their money. Everyone can withdraw their money safely in an accessible way!

Maybe there's no solution for some (like the door handle) but if others were solved, then the remaining ones would bother me a lot less. It's a lot less frustration and humiliation inducing to say "Hey, can you open the bathroom for me?" When you know you'll be able to wash your damn hands once inside, yknow?

genuinely you need to love the trans girls in your life with everything you have. love them until your heart bursts.

#erase the idea of trans women as competing bitches in the fight against transphobia #scrub it from your brain power wash it off of t #recognize your own privilege recognize your own ignorance recognize the cruelty that is leveraged at them SPECIFICALLY #not as a disqualification of your own hurting but as a sign that they NEED your support and your love #i am talking to TME transmascs specifically. we owe it to them as their brothers and siblings

this should go without saying but “everyone can have ability to self advocate” and “everyone can self advocate right this second” are two different concept.

i say this even thought it sounds obvious because! see parents of nonspeaking level 3 autistic kid (but also adults) w high support needs say their kid don’t have functional communication, that they worried abt their offspring’s future—what happens if they die and not able to be here to take care of them anymore? their offspring dont have functional communication, can’t tell you anyone mistreated them abused them right now, and no idea if they will able to develop it in future.

and late diagnosed, lower support needs, and/or level 1, mostly speaking autistics come in very strong (many attack parents bc see “parent of autistic kid?” immediately think “ableist autism mom!!!”), accuse parents of not presuming competence, accuse parents of abuse, accuse parents prioritizing words over behavioral communication, accuse parents not listening to offspring’s behaviors. say “your child is self advocating, they can, don’t say they can’t!” or say or imply their child don’t self advocate right now because parents not do enough.

i’m all for presume competence. presume competence so so important. but, presume competence means “everyone can learn with proper support and accommodations, even if they may not seem like it on surface.” not “everyone have hidden skills they possess right this second everyone can do everything right now or eventually in the future!”

yes, most behavior is communication! (most not all bc tics, severe apraxia, etc). but the truth is behavior only goes so far. you can only communicate so much with behavior. even if other people presume every behavior as communication, may still misinterpret.

yes! you can argue screaming meltdown is communicating is self advocating! but screaming even two words “too loud! too loud! is different than screaming noises. in first scenario you immediately know what trigger meltdown! you immediately know what stimuli to remove! but the latter, just screaming noises—is it the noise? if it clothes scratchy? is it wrong spoon wrong plate? is it being interrupted? is it too many feelings?

“you can show them picture options and let them point! that is still self advocacy!” yes, but needing someone to provide you pictures is hardly same as able to go to pictures AAC yourself and select spontaneously.

not to mention that… the ability to know what you want to communicate, then go to pictures (whether app or physical printed), recognize what the pictures are, know what picture correlate to what you want communicate, have the motor skills and visual skills to pick the picture out of all the other pictures, then hand it to someone—all very basic skills taken for granted by most late diagnosed low support level 1 mostly speaking autistics. most probably never ever struggled with it. most probably don’t even realize so many nonspeaking kids and adults struggle with this. not everyone have ability to do this!! giving a nonspeaking minimally speaking person communication is not as simple as handing someone an AAC board and they magically can communicate.

what if what you want to communicate is not in picture?

all of these facts has become a taboo thing to admit in autistic circles.

and like i’m even nervous to say “everyone can have the ability to self advocate” because it’s such a extreme definitive generalizing sentence. who am i to make such a generalizing statement? do i know every possible manifestation of every possible disability that affect visual/motor/communication/cognition/etc? NO!

because you don’t know, because you are never sure, 100% presume competence. you never know. give them the chance to learn. see if any environmental factors are limiting them. try as much as you can.

but presume competence shouldn’t be weaponzied… not “if your child/client/etc unable to do this, you’re definitely bad abusive incompetent not doing enough all your fault” without nuance. sometimes it is the parent/professional/etc’s fault. sometimes it’s not.

a randomly selected nondisabled person, able bodied and neurotypical. learning to ski. not olympian champion. the parents are abusive, not providing them with all the lessons all the best equipment all the support? the coach are incompetent, not believing the person, not presuming competence, not believing they can be olympian champion? the equipment not the best in the world (even if best, not enough!!)!

The thing I love so much about Jonsasha dual archivist AUs is how easily it becomes a "them against the world" situation. Falling into the Beholding at almost exactly the same time, developing similar (although perhaps not identical) powers, having the same inhuman diet, driving away their coworkers...

And yeah that last one IS super vital to Jonsasha because I think they would. Jon's paranoia combined with Sasha's stalking skills? Their intelligence and reckless knowledge-seeking? It would be a mess. Tim losing both his close friend and his (work friend? acquaintance?) at the same time, right after a traumatic experience? The others watching as they start withdrawing into each other more and more (even as they're each monitoring the other for signs of betrayal). Do you think Sasha "lets hang with my creepy monster stalker at midnight (without telling anyone)" James would catch on to the blink-and-you-miss-it reference to the possibility that the web table traps the Not-Them? I am not totally convinced she would even bother getting a weapon before investigating it (which is... exactly what she did in canon, actually??).

I want them to hear the Jurgen statement together. I want them to go out and share a smoke and a charged conversation while Elias does his thing. I want them to go tearing through the London supernatural community with reckless abandon. I want Elias to have to frantically restructure his plans while he tries to figure out how the hell having Two Entire Archivists might mess with his plans. I want them to rack up marks shockingly quickly. I want Sasha to encourage Jon to hop over boundaries with her. I want them to drag each other down. I want them to be feared and hated by the remaining archival staff because Sasha keeps Knowing deeply personal information about them "accidentally" and Jon can't stop compelling people and they have the same freaky eyes and they're chasing each other down the same destructive path.

I want Jonsasha taking solace in each other, exchanging statements about their respective supernatural encounters (look it's cute ok?) and coming to Know each other in a way nobody else ever could. I want them to anchor each other. I want them to make everything worse forever. I want them to always defend each other, even as their own guilt keeps piling up and their friends keep getting angry and hurt. Dual archivist Jonsasha is two sides of the same coin, coming together even as they drive everybody else away. It's so juicy and I think about it constantly.

I think Elias finds a way to pull off his plan and when he does they slowly give in to their natures and enjoy their apocalypses after a lovely and long mutual corruption arc. That is all.

#very tired and need to go to bed soon #PLEASE do not tag as j//mart or sasha//nartin #I just Do Not Like him #anyway saw a post that got my jonsasha gears turning #it's so hard to find Quality Sasha Content (where she's boundary-hopping and unhinged and reckless) #stop sanding down my girl. Don't you see how much more interesting she would be if you tossed out her fanon competence #in exchange for her canon crimes?? #/I/ support Women's Wrongs #anyway I want Jonsasha corruption arc armageddon speedrun #frothing at the mouth about messed up jonsasha for ages #jon sims #jonathan sims #dual archivists au #jonsasha #sasha james

one thing I love is ownership extended beyond the idea of a simply belonging to that person. I love when it goes beyond that, when it extends to the things your person does and enjoys as well. I don’t just want to see you in my shirt, I want you in things that represent me. I want to see you in spirit merch and cute outfits for whatever it is. I don’t care if I’m a professional athlete or a rec league hero, I want to see you in the sidelines in my team’s merch. I don’t care if I’m a professional racecar driver or a weekend warrior, I want to see you in my pitstall with your favorite drivers shirt on. I don’t care if I’m a mega rockstar or if I’m a local cover band, I want to see you in the crowd with my band merch on your body. I want to look at you and feel that rush of pride that you’re mine, that you want to show off your association with me, that you’ll do anything you can to support me and you love doing it.

#teddy posts #genderless post #ownership kink #do y’all get this or no #a lot of people think of this as objectification and i suppose it is ! #but i think of it a lot more as ownership and love #like…I own them #they’re an extension of me #therefore if i compete on this team #they are also a proponent of this team #and need to dress and support this team accordingly #and the fact is i want them to Want to do it #i want them to be Happy over the idea of getting to support me like that #its sounds Fun to them #to support the person they love’s passions #(internalize this as a kink thing please dont get weird about it #dont doubt for a second if my baby started competing in roller derby or singing in bars or something i would be showing up cheering until i #lost voice - thats how relationships work #im just choosing to sexualize this for the moment djdjdh)

Once again, not a lot of thoughts about this episode. I just love that they keep putting Hunter in situations with more and more kids so that we can watch him struggle to suppress his Dad Instincts.

#honestly not too keen on the idea of Ahsoka showing up in tbb #since this show is very much about the clones and she tends to steal the spotlight wherever she pops up #but i could be okay with it as long as i get to watch hunter try to adopt her #while she is also doing her best to radiate “i am a competent adult and do not need any parental figures” vibes #i don't think i'll have to worry about it though #canon seems to support that she would still be in hiding at this point #tbb #the bad batch #the bad batch spoilers #tbb spoilers #hunter

I attempted to replay DAII a few weeks back for the pleasure/refresher of the story and the character arcs but just couldn’t bring myself to do it. Have lost lots of capacity to enjoy game mechanics which extend length of time to engage w story and notwithstanding the dialogue is quite excellent (in a game context) it’s clunky for, say, a story, and the physical/visual staging in character interactions is v dated. (Key Settings are pretty decent for symbolism tho)

and that’s when I realised the first time ever why sometimes fans *do* get interested enough to write full novelisations of a thing.

#I would prob read one. #I would prob also still be interested enough to write one if I didn’t have competing priorities #I’d still hold it needs to be aveline’s pov tho not varric #aveline’s conflicted morality as a corrupt cop favouring the criminal immigrant who saved her life and wangled her position of power #watching as that crim legitimises himself but continues to operate between the lines #because after all he’s a blood mage #gooooooooood I would want this #blood mage Hawke x Isabela who abandons him to the arishok #rivals Anders and Merrill and executes anders; mage Beth and temp carver live tho #friends/romance Fenris post Isabela and friends varric #but at the end of it Hawke cannot bring himself to support Templars and has to kill Fenris #Aveline narrative voice as if she is untouched and non influential on all this while reader can See her Hypocricy #only varric calls her out #Also can we have more Leandra being complex and hypocritical too

#trying to establish the recent history for my asoiaf bookworm AU just really highlights for me how politically broken westeros is #yurgenschmidt is simply too functional of a society to fit asoiaf fuckery djdjdjdj #i’m like hmmm I can’t realistically make robert archduke of the stormlands because like literally zero nobles would have backed someone #THAT incompetent #the only thing he does good is violence lol #but if robert isn’t at least the heir to the stormlands then his betrothal to lyanna makes no sense #so i was like well the baratheons are probably a branch of the targaryens #so maybe i could make robert a prince who is rhaegar’s half-brother rather than his cousin #but like once again who is backing robert for the throne against rhaegar???? #because there’s no way aerys stays king for as long as he did in asoiaf when he’s behaving that erratically #his own retainers would probably support forcing him to abdicate in favor of rhaegar #and probably like the minute rhaegar is old enough to take over #so rhaegar is already king #dany is probably never conceived #there’s no need for the southron ambitions alliance against aerys #everything falls apart because the nobles of yurgenschmidt are less enamored of violence and more concerned with competence

the easiest fix is just to use Noé but I wonder if it would be weird to have the diacritical?? Like I'm not putting the diacriticals on ouwei's name...

#just thinking thoughts... #anime ace doesn't even support the diacriticals needed to accurately write ouwei's name lol #huh idk... I feel like it's different because portuguese fundamentally uses the same writing system as english #whereas english is just doing its best to capture chinese #also noe is already like. that mfer from vnc #I dunno if I'm ready to compete with that #like de was very brave to use harry (harrier cough) in a post rowling world but they did it just fine #I think it's probably okay if I want to use noé... #I know I picked noah in part because I figured it would be easy to have a name that was also japanese and pronounced the same way #like mario for example #but somehow I feel like mario is even worse. like just as a reality for him. girl he is going to get bullied at school so bad #BRO WHATEVER ! HE'S GOING TO BE NOÉ IT WILL BE FINE... #thank FUCK I didn't have anyone say his name in the trailer my god. #could you imagine the cringe. crawling back to a va and going hiii I messed up on this line... can you re-record

yes my sourdough turned out badly and yes my mother laughed at me for failing and YES i am crying like an idiot but i will be so brave about it and i will not let her meanness dissuade me from trying again

#i knew i fucked it up bc it didn't raise properly but i wanted to bake it anyway #and i was still so proud bc i made something. even if it was fucked up and bad i still did it #and ofc she came over and looked at it and laughed at me #all snotty saying ''you're not going to like it'' like i was stupid for even trying #im beginning to see where my issues are coming from lmao #im not even embarrassed bc i knew it wouldn't be right but. why does she always have to make me feel like im a fucking idiot #EVERY time i try something new she's super patronizing and treats me like im 12 years old #and when it does turn out well and im excited about it she gives me the cold shoulder for like a week #we aren't fucking competing to see who can be the better housewife. i just wanted to bake some fucking bread #i will not be ashamed. i will not let my mother make me feel small for trying something new. #this is why i still haven't told them about quilting #gritting my teeth i WILL eat my chewy fucked up sourdough and i WILL like it because i MADE it and SHE DIDN'T #and if she wants to act like this is a fucking competition that is her problem #i have met other mothers who are so kind and supportive and do it naturally because that is how they are #my mother will not be that way towards me but i can be that way towards myself. fuck her for making me feel worthless #i will move out and she will continue to think i can't even cook an egg without needing help #and i will thrive and barely speak to them and they will be confused and act victimized #and it is not my fucking problem

I feel like the bakers with the best energy should stay in the tent even after they are eliminated just to cheer everyone on and to remind everyone to remove the pressure off their shoulders and relax a bit.

At the end of the day, it is just cake and pies and one competition for an engraved cake stand. They bake because they love it. The people they share their baking with know that. That's all that matters.

Also whenever Paul and Prue spout some nonsense that has a baker questioning their entire existence, these baker-cheerleaders can drown the judges out with their warm support and encouragement.

Noel and Allison are great but they have not elbow deep in dough in the tent. Baker-cheerleaders have. They know exactly what the struggling baker is going through and can get through to the baker and lift them out of that slump.

Because if everyone is close enough to form a WhatsApp group, I'm sure that being able to see those friendly faces right after Paul and Prue have spend five minutes scowling at your creations is a boost in spirit for sure.

#gbbo #gbbo 2023 #keep the best energy bakers around #the ones that just radiate good vibes #and cozy supportiveness #let them stay to encourage the rest of the bakers #baker-cheerleaders #they can get through to the bakers and speak relevant words of support #also to help the bakers take the pressure off of themselves and relax a little bit #because they are competing for an engraved cake stand #they should know that they are good bakers already #they bake because they love it #and everyone they share their bakes with should be able to see it #they shouldn't feel like they need to prove their skills to anyone #help gently guide the bakers out of the slump that paul and prue put them in #this competition should not destroy your mental health #by the end everyone becomes a family #family supports family #keep them physically there! #also have them give out food and drink to the bakers to remind them to HYDRATE

if i ever am in a comfortable financial place i want to just...spend most of it on patreon or something. there’s so many amazing artists that deserve so much more than what they probably have. i miss being able to even just occasionally buy prints or pins. it feels like every day there’s something else trying to put them down and snuff them out. whenever someone starts to devalue art i always say “look around you. every single man-made thing you see was designed by an artist” fashion designers, engineers, industrial designers, graphic designers, architects, every single person involved with ALL MEDIA. it’s one of the most important defining characteristics of our entire species. i’m just. so sick of it being seen as deserving of nothing. yet it’s something people devote time to stealing and bastardizing into something easy to duplicate, while giving zero credit to the ones who actually did the work. because everyone knows, on some level, how important it is. how integral it is to how society functions.

idk how coherent this is, i’m just. tired.

#and let's not even get into how the only real way to support yourself through art is by competing against other artists #and how i feel completely out of my league and undeserving of even placing myself in the race #how do i stand out always becomes WHY do i HAVE to stand out #oh right i need to eat #blah blah blah i'm not saying anything new

school trying to kill me on this meal plan hello

#uhhhh tw gonna rant abt disordered eating for the tags #my school doesn’t share calorie or nutrient info bc it ‘allows external factors to influence your eating habits’ #which is supposedly like. an attempt to help ppl with eating disorders. but like hi hello im on meds that have a top side effect #of suppressing my appetite. so there is no way for me to ‘not let external factors affect my eating’ it is logically impossible #like i understand it on one level but it also feels like such bullshit. ‘oh you don’t get to know how much protein is in your food’ #that information is essential to me eating enough. what the hell #it’s also the condescension of ‘we don’t support diets try intuitive eating instead!!!’ like i understand the goal here but intuitive eating #Cannot and Does Not work for me. because if i ate when i was hungry id be malnourished. #god it’s just like. this is absolutely a case of competing accessibility needs and there has got to be a better way lol #and the other thing is like. when you already have a dietary needs (hello im pescetarian most meat makes me sick) they present themselves as #sooooo great for that. and they aren’t. #me and Andy fighting for our lives over here bc knowing what we can eat doesn’t make it easier to manage that to eat well #the nutritionist/dietician isn’t trained in eating disorders also lol

PG and klay? Explain please

they Kiss.

LISTEN nothing Validates a bee more then two men wearing two similar outfits at two different times. Eccentric boat driver who babies his boat meets equally eccentric pilot who babies his plane. They race. They argue. Pg tries landing on Klays ship. Klay kills him. They kiss. It just makes SENSE to me but of COURSE im gonna help shed Light to the ethereals above ! Patron Saint of.. being a patron Saint! SO OBVIOUSLY, i have good reasons to put these two together and it's that they're both . Hot. Obviously. IM KIDDING i have more OK LISTEN just Listen

THEIR WHOLE THING is that it sounds Absurd. Because it DOES. and it IS. And that's why they're GREAT. On the surface they might have their stark differences, but i feel like emotionally they're Very similar and faced some similar things! Even their relationships with others are similar! But also not? It's that kinda foil kinda not comparison that's so unexplainable but interesting. They're both malewives to a girlboss (steph, kawhi). They both got a friend who feels very deeply which can get him in some fights (draymond, pat bev). They're goin different paths marked with similar stones but think they're totally different travelers just cus they see sights. Pg and klay carry the same chill possibly cryptic vibe when they're just having a good time with friends, but when something irks them, they can act a Lil a fool.. ( they both got leo moon disease.) Klay will throw up a shot he shouldn't cause he feels like he needs to be doing more so expectations won't be his downfall, pg will call a buzzerbeater a bad shot cause he's disappointed and disrespected. They're SIMILAR but the holy shit somebody is playin that nursery rhyme but Edgy shit on the speakers rn.. now i know what everyone's complainin about holy shit this song sucks! ANYWAYS they're way more similar than one would think, ESPECIALLY them. Cus they HAVE talked before... you kinda gotta in nba. That's why it's a league of people who have sex with each other. Tumblrinas are just talking on what's happened, what's BEEN happenin!! i mean LOOK AT THIS SHIT! SEX RIGHT BEFORE OUR EY E S !!!

Heads and tails of a coin men interacting. 100 killed 500 critically injured. Why they rubbin their Bodies so hard bro! It's just nervous mannerisms? Why do you, as a Man, have nervous mannerisms when engaging in a battle of Tongue with Another Man ? Hm 🤨? Scientists would like to know 🤔! Pg's little elbow rub, klay musing over his thoughts while smoothing over his hands. The article is about pg and klay discussing their future together and naturally chose a photo of pg asking klay out to prom! It just makes sense! They Kiss! They kissed!!

to be more In Depth, pg was still on the pacers but he was on his last year with his contract. And klay was coming to new discussions of HIS contract. Plus with it being the Olympics aka Tampering Holiday, it was a PERFECT time for pg to STRIKE!!! to ask klay out for A DATE! A date involving Los Angeles lakers unfortunately. But a date nonetheless!!!

Klay turned him down unfortunately. Not for the date though, he went the one day but he didn't want anything serious. Pg is charming, possible boyfriend material, but for like three days max. No way they could survive a Serious relationship. They both think the other is Too negative for something while they're too positive for something. Klay feels like pg is too immature compared to himself who is too mature. He waits until hes at a higher level to respond to criticism. But pg feels like klay is too tied down compared to himself who is too loose. Klays too busy pining for Mr golden boy steph while pg is free to chase whomever without weight. BUT THEY BOTH SHARE THE FACT THAT THEY LIKE HAVING HIGHER PERCEPTIONS OF THEMSELVES COMPARED TO OTHERS! Yeah they might have different THOUGHTS but they have similar thinking Processes. They bond on a problem but because it's a problem, they just refuse to really talk so they wont have to acknowledge it. Ships that have more in common than they think yet refuse to think is just MWAH. So complex so compelling! GOIN OFF pgs Olympic flirtations...

Think injuries. They both had injuries they had to climb back from. Are WORKING to climb back from. Maybe klay visited pg after that awful leg incident. Showed pg he's not some tied down smhuck working all for the efforts of one guy as pg likes to believe he is. And cause of klays actions, pg calls klay when he's rehabbing off HIS injury, which in turn shows klay that pg has more character to him than once thought. IT'S THE WAY they both can Change each other by actually putting effort into helping the other. They're two gears that need to spin in each other's directions in order to get the motor movin, NAMEAN? They got an unlikely relationship where one builds off another, and NO ONE expects it. That's what makes it so GOOD. It's UNEXPECTED unlocked potential! That starts something new! And GOOD! When no one takes anything serious, nothin gets done. But when they really start makin an effort to get connected, shit happens

IN SHORT

Guy who thinks guy is cringe + guy who thinks guy is cringe = Unexpected Romance of a Lifetime
