Honest To God We've Got To Start Naming The Elderly As A Vulnerable Group & Calling Their Disabilities,

honest to god we've got to start naming the elderly as a vulnerable group & calling their disabilities, disabilities. we sugarcoat and distance these things by only calling them "elderly," "old & frail," etc. most of them are disabled.

too many people completely separate disability from themselves in their mind. it's something that happens to other people. other sad people i don't want to think about. are they really even people, it's too much to bear thinking about that happening to a person... those background characters over there. it would never be me, i can't cope with thinking about that possibility.

this mass denialism of the fragility of the human body (YOUR human body) has created a whole category separate from the disabled - the "elderly." since anyone can join it if they live long enough.. no they can't be disabled. that's scary, and worse it's political. so they are just "old." so what they lost their hearing, their mobility, their heart function? that's just how it goes for old people. as if that's not a person as real as you. as if you wouldn't be devastated if that happened to you today (and it can btw). as if you won't be when it's your turn to be old, and disabled.

simultaneously the disabled are dehumanized as not people, and the elderly are dehumanized as not disabled. so the illusion of disability as separate can be upheld.

The age-old struggle: do I finally pick up one of the many neglected children on my tbr, or do I stay in the known comfort of Fandoms past?

I think we all know the inevitable answer.

"you read a lot, right?"

"yes!"

"what are some books you've read recently?"

"you Read A Lot, Right?"

"uhh i don't remember"

i hope that our few remaining readers give up on that unfinished wip from seven years ago

and i hope we come up with a failsafe plot that piss off the dumb few that keep commenting all the ways they'd write it differently

in my life i hope i lie and tell everyone the next chapter will be out on time

and i hope i write (i hope we all write)

i hope you write (i hope we both write)

so embarrassing to get obsessed with your own oc but it doesn't fuel you creatively or motivate you at all you just sort of sit there. like yeah I've been thinking a lot about blorbo from my mind. no images of them exist in the world and they have maybe 3 personality traits so far. I would rather die than attempt to write about them. I've spent the last 48 hours rotating them in my brain though
