This is basically an accumulation of the things I find beautiful, funny, important, or LGBTQ related

practice-self-love: popular-slut-club: colorsofequality: girl-in-a-wheelchair: gettingahealthybody: Great idea. Though I think 5 flights of stairs is manageable too :) That’s nice, I’ll just bump my wheelchair up the stairs then. Oh wait, that’s not actually possible. You look at stairs and see exercise? I look at stairs and see a painful and insurmountable rack of bone crunching, joint crushing and muscle tearing misery. Whoever did this an insensitive and thoughtless person. They think they’re helping, but they’re making fun of people who have disabilities that mean they can’t climb stairs, they’re shaming us. On top of that they’ve stuck tape over the braille writing, making them illegible for anyone who can’t see! This is super ableist, and fatphobic. I don’t like it, at all. wow i’m disgusted This is so disgusting and intensely disappointing.. if your first thought is that this is “clever” and “smart,” then take a second to figure out why some people are seriously offended by this (and why you should be too).  Let me preface this by saying that I think that it’s GREAT, if you are able to use stairs, if you choose (for yourself) to use stairs instead of the elevator. I use the stairs whenever I am able to (also because elevators give me vertigo and I’m slightly claustrophobic, but that’s a different story).  When someone does something like this, it’s obvious that they’re not thinking about why the button is there in the first place. Why the braille is there. That the button is not only used by people who you deem to be too lazy to use the stairs.  Ugh: thinking it’s a “great idea” to be casually ableist equating stairs with exercise and “smart decisions” as if there aren’t people who physically depend on elevators and ramps to get around shaming people who choose elevators over stairs, even when they are able to use stairs (you don’t have a right to shame anybody for their decisions) putting tape over braille as if no one needs that to READ the buttons Take a second to think before you post stuff like this, please. Let’s try to be as inclusive as possible to people of all body types and all abilities. /endrant
