Obamitsu Fanart Redraw For @capsaiciin

Hey men, this international womens' day, instead of thanking women for being your sisters/mothers/aunts or giving birth or being delicate, go and challenge that friend who makes uncomfortable jokes about women that you've laughed off every other day of the year.

day barely even started and I already had to hear "thank you for being our wives, sisters, aunts" and "keep being women and giving birth and being delicate unlike us men" as compliments for international women's day

Fursona badges for me and my girlfriend!!!

Day of Unity is approaching or more like Hunters mindset 24/7

I am 99% sure Henry is trans and that’s why his parents are bias, because they don’t really understand and are sort of transphobic but trying.

I also think that Ralph is very supportive and helped Henry with a new outfit when he came out (because he’s a bit of a designer).

I think that Margaret used to be Henry’s best friend but never got over his coming out, and that’s why she sort of hates him.

And I agree that that’s why his great aunt Greta calls him Henrietta.

Brits who used to watch Horrid Henry! Didn’t his grandma call him Henrietta? If that’s true then could that mean Henry’s trans?

i shared something a few months ago about allergies and food disabilities and it recently started accumulating notes again and now it's at 5.7k, so obviously my activity page is just people trauma dumping about their awful experiences with allergies in the tags which is. Fun.

but what's really getting me is how i made a comment early on in the reblog chain about how many personal and professional activities revolve around food and how much it sucks to have to either put yourself at risk or miss out on those opportunities, because people often react badly either way if you cause them even the slightest inconvenience

and EVERYBODY who has responded to that comment. and I mean everybody. has focused on "personal" and made comments about how "if your friends don't respect your food disabilities, they're not your friends" and "you'll meet more supportive people in future" and all of that

and not one of them has paid any attention to the "professional" part of that. I'm talking about work Christmas dinners where if you don't go you're not a team player and will probably get passed over for future opportunities, but if you go, you'll get sick and HR will be mad about the extra time off. I'm talking about networking dinners and business lunches and meeting people at the buffet table at events, all of which are fraught if not impossible. I'm talking about travelling for conferences or other events and having to bring an entire extra bag with food because the venue can't cater for you (hand luggage only just ain't even an option at this point, so yay, extra costs if you're travelling further afield)

and also! smaller things like job interviews where you have to wear "smart" clothes (fitted waistbands and IBS? A Nightmare). dress codes in general. working in a building where the nearest toilets are on the opposite side. not being able to trust the work kettle/microwave because it might be contaminated but not having the facilities to bring/use your own. not being able to use communal tea/coffee/milk supplies for the same reason. all of those little everyday things

it isn't just about friends. it's about LIFE. i'm in an industry where events, lunches, etc are a common occurrence, and a nightmare for me. in academia, it feels like every other event involves a wine reception, which is shit when you don't drink and don't love being around people who are drinking a lot. in the office, i can't participate properly in any of the seasonal social gatherings, whether they're tea and biscuits or a Christmas meal

food disabilities have PROFESSIONAL impacts. because they are disabilities. it isn't just about having fun or hanging out with friends. it affects my career and my opportunities and it is INVISIBLE because people don't even know to recognise the ableism when they're doing it

i am tired of people ignoring that facet of it all

I gotta say, one of the many reasons I love The Owl House is just how well they do sibling dynamics. Like,

These two. On their own they each could be considered functioning adults (generously speaking), but put them in the same room together and they immediately revert back to teenagers.

Then of course, the Blight siblings,

On top of being comedy gold, these three are the most relatable and accurate portrayal of siblings I've recently seen in media.

Look at this, pretty sure this could be an exact photo of me and my own sister on any given day.

TLDR The Owl House has great siblings and is great in general. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
