instead of thinking up a 500 word apology for your event being woefully inaccessible to disabled people (or offering “solutions” for the inaccessibility that show you have little understanding of disabled ppl’s realities*), use all that time and energy to either find ways to make your event accessible, or cancel it and publicly inform everyone why.
in our experience the solidarity possibilities of just not holding inaccessible events are hugely ignored and it needs to stop. if your event excludes disabled people, you’re part of the problem.
refusing to plan or host events that exclude disabled ppl is a way to support & show solidarity with us while highlighting to others that accessibility is important.
just being aware of how inaccessible something is doesn’t make it okay.
*e.g.: “we’ll be happy to carry you / your chair / walker up the stairs!”, “it’s not scent free but we’ll keep the windows open!”, “there’s no quiet room but you can go outside!” etc.
Never done 7,8,12 because I don't have enough of a life to

My roommates diary says I snoop to much..
Justice is costing us way too much.
Very ironic that the state which houses Mt. Rushmore, a tribute to the most progressive presidents, is the very state to do this. We are all very ashamed of you, South Dakota.
I just watched this yesterday I was kind of annoyed with Amethyst and I felt bad for her...it was hard to choose between
Remember when Amethyst went through an entire episode dedicated to an identity crisis where she kept getting poofed and came back as something different each time? I really want something like that for Peridot where she goes on an actual mission with the Crystal Gems and is so nervous she keeps fucking up. The first time she comes back shes like COVERED in stars with star hair and star toes and star glasses and shes like “this is what you want right? this is what it means to be a Crystal Gem?” And everyones like “Uhh” and she keeps getting poofed and coming back in a mirror of one of the gems outfits like “is this right?” and its finally Amehyst that talks to her about her worth and that if she wants to be a Crystal Gem then she’s gotta let loose and be herself. Finally when she gets poofed and comes back one last time she has almost her exact old outfit, just with stars on her kneepads instead of diamonds and her look is a little less uptight, more loose with fluffier looking hair shes like “Is this okay?” and Amethyst just says “You look like you, and that’s all we could ask for.”
im laughing i went to type heck yes and i typed “heck yeck”
Well by "dance", he meant something totally different apparently...
