Guess who just showed up at my bird feeder. A black-throated gray warbler much like the one in this photo. Quite a stylish little animal, right?

The fact that neurotypical and able-bodied people can’t comprehend that disabled people usually don’t like consistently being told “BEING DISABLED IS BAD!!! THE WAY YOU ARE IS FUNDAMENTALLY WRONG!!! YOU NEED TO BE CURED!!!” even in a ‘nice’ or ‘woke’ way shows how little they actually value our agency or even our worth as humans.
No, Stacy, I don’t want people fiddling with eugenics because they’re uncomfortable with me existing, I want you to. You know. Treat me like a person. Have help be there when I need it without treating me like I’m an invalid. Why is that apparently so much more difficult for you than telling me my existence is wrong and spending millions fiddling in a lab for unwanted “cures?” Whatever happened to listening to others and accepting them for who they are? Or do you only see disabled people as the poor, helpless invalids you can “help” cross the street without asking so you can get another Scouts badge?

tbh to me the disabled fetus whatever abortion discourse is so ironic because the broadest possible understanding of eugenics (or racial hygiene) is the control of reproduction (both natalist and antinatalist) to cultivate a desirable population. what “desirable” means actually has varied historically in various eugenics schemes. the idea that women should be socially compelled to have children they don’t want to have (or “rethink” why they don’t want to have these children) for the sole purpose of guaranteeing a certain kind of population is……interesting

i'd say that moondae got quite a bit of... imagination
like, it's not the first time he potrayed these two big puppies (atleast to him, lol) to the typical antagonistic nor over the top character that had the untouchable image
but in reality, both are FAR from 'intimidating' or 'unapproachable'
but i guess he's being like that because of yk, effect of status window and regression.

Q: Why is the "Nimona" movie so important?
Well, I really think that we are living in a time where the conversation about real people's lives and their safety and a community's entire longevity, particularly within the queer umbrella, there's a lot at stake.
And I mean that in a way where people are refusing to have the next step in understanding someone who might disagree with them.
My whole life has been taking the extra steps to outreach to bring someone, to build the foundation to have a common understanding. Or at the very least, so that that group doesn't want my group to be eliminated or erased.
And having films especially like "Nimona," where it can speak to this idea of effortlessly portraying characters who inhabit those communities. But are also fully realized. (...)
It's just an honest story. And it's full of like wonderful character, heart and insight and dynamics that feel like they could be both a part of anyone's experience, but specifically really a part of my experience as a queer person.

What looks like a cross between a beaver and a rat and has happily adjusted to life far from its native South America? Give up? The answer, dear friends, is nutria (Myocastor coypus).

Do Celestials, Hypogeans or their children sleep? Fuck if I know, have em napping because why not (this was 90% motivated by knowing in my heart Lucilla would spread out starfish style no matter the sleeping situation, even vs her whole family)

The thing about the whole "Clearsight is a colonizer" thing that gets me the most is that she clearly never wanted or intended to be treated like that. She wanted a fresh start. She couldn't go on with her life on Pyrrhia due to Darkstalker's absence. She knew she would do little more than feel an ache in her heart and mourn the loss of the dragon she loved. The dragon she thought she would spend the rest of her life with. She wanted to run. She had to start anew.
Then, receiving the vision about the hurricane that was about to hit Pantala. She saw her chance and she took it. She flew for days until finally reaching the continent, being the first dragon to do so. She warned them all and saved countless lives because of it. She was seen as mystical and gifted, but that's a given when you have literal magic powers that lets you see into the future.
Clearsight spent her life peacefully. I don't think she wanted to be hailed as a god-like figure at all. She wanted to be seen as a member of the community, one no more special or note-worthy than anybody else. Her status as a prophet and deity I think was brought on in the following centuries. Wasp, the actual genocidal maniac, used Clearsight mostly as a means of which to get her way, manipulating the population into thinking that Clearsight herself foretold this would happen.
Clearsight wasn't a colonizer. I think it's a gross misuse of the word that really misunderstands both her character and the text in favour of going: "SEEE????? TUI IS BIGOTED!!!" That being said it is very iffy and uncomfortable to have Tui say: "Ohhh the reason why Clearsight basically bred out BeetleWings was because of her strong genetic material" like what are you talking about

Let us review the major players of Lookism as of late . . .
Charles Choi
Wants to keep running HNH Group, will step on anyone to get his way. Wanted to eliminate the 4 crews since he no longer needs them. Same as ever, pretty straightforward.
Eugene
Similar to Charles Choi, with the exception of being more careful and considerate of his employees and negotiations and such. Achieved the goal of uniting the 4 crews. Wants to get rid of Daniel Park.
Daniel Park
Wants to stop Eugene and Charles Choi, currently working to find the secret of the two bodies and the history of Jinyoung Park. Also working with DG but does not completely trust him.
DG/James Lee
Has been working against Charles Choi from the beginning. Waited for Daniel to prove himself, currently working with him to uncover the secret of the two bodies. Was blackmailed by Charles since killing Gapryong Kim.
Goo Kim
Has been working with Eugene since before the series started. About to be fired by Charles. True motive unknown. Said he might kill someone.
Whose side are you on?
