Not the “oh Einstein was probably autistic” or the sanitized Helen Keller story. but this history disabled people have made and has been made for us.
Teach them about Carrie Buck, who was sterilized against her will, sued in 1927, and lost because “Three generations of imbeciles [were] enough.” (A decision which still has not been reversed)
Teach them about Judith Heumann and her associates, who in 1977, held the longest sit in a government building for the enactment of 504 protection passed three years earlier.
Teach them about all the Baby Does, newborns in 1980s who were born disabled and who doctors and parents left to die without treatment, who’s deaths lead to the passing of The Baby Doe amendment to the child abuse law in 1984.
Teach them about the deaf students at Gallaudet University, a liberal arts school for the deaf, who in 1988, protested the appointment of yet another hearing president and successfully elected I. King Jordan as their first deaf president.
Teach them about Jim Sinclair, who at the 1993 international Autism Conference stood and said “don’t mourn for us. We are alive. We are real. And we’re here waiting for you.”
Teach about the disability activists who laid down in front of buses for accessible transit in 1978, crawled up the steps of congress in 1990 for the ADA, and fight against police brutality, poverty, restricted access to medical care, and abuse today.
Teach about us.
I’m asking because I’m having trouble finding some good quality comedy/crack snarry fics that isn’t smut-centric or genderbent.

I see a lot of talk about how neurodivergence evolved and stayed in the gene pool because it was somehow ‘useful’ to our ancient ancestors. While I don’t necessarily disagree with this theory, I would like to propose an alternative. A theory that we already have physical evidence for. Humans just love each other and care for each other. Don’t you think that a species that cared for it’s people while they recovered from broken bones, or nursed their elderly well beyond their ‘usefulness’ would leave a member out because they didn’t make eye contact, or couldn’t stay focused on a particular task, or whatever other trait you associate with neurodivergence? I really don’t.
Sure, maybe it was useful to have someone around who didn’t mind making arrowheads all day, or who knew absolutely everything about all of the local flora and fauna, or who keyed in on every little distraction. At the end of the day, though, these people weren’t kept around because they were useful, they were cared for because they were loved.

[ID: A flat-color digital drawing of Munkustrap from the musical Cats, from the hips up. His eyes are closed, and he’s grimacing and rubbing his temples, with his ears pressed flat and his tail puffed up. The speech bubble reads “Can everyone please just keep it together for five seconds?” /end ID]

listening to Bleach OST is giving me so many ansty & badass scenes for Phil (for obvious reasons) but also for everyone else. Like right now, I’m listening to the first season opening song and imaging an Bleach-style anime opening for QSMP with all the 2000s core designs and cutaways and transitions.
Also, why is no one talking about the fact that Purgatory is basically Heuco Mundo and Bolas Rojas were basically turning Hollow w/ Phil being their Vasto Lorde leader? Where’s the fan art for that? C’mon!
