I’m Sorry, I Have To Block Users For Every Blog I Have?? So I Have To Block The Same Person Twice????

REBLOG IF YOUR BLOG IS A SAFE SPACE FOR AROMANTIC PEOPLE AND IF YOU THINK THEY ARE VALID

I want to see how many people actually are willing to say this and not just act like it

Hey are you allowed to reboot your sideblog art or is that illegal asking for a friend (it’s me)

Yes. Have YOU considered that sometimes working on hard things is both necessary and worthwhile?

I can’t believe I asked @emmsiplier to add Ghost to their household so Seven wouldn’t be lonely and he immediately started grilling and then set the grill on fire

we have GOT to kill tiktok/twitter self-censorship i just witnessed a grown adult say the word “smex” out loud to our professor

I'd like to remind everyone that when talking about a person (or character), it's "person with albinism," not "albino."

I've mentioned before how deeply traumatic that word is for many of us. It carries a stigma that exists just as strongly as it did when we were featured in circus freakshows (which I've seen billboards for in my lifetime), because that's where people know us from and there hasn't been a movement to change that. We're still portrayed in media as freaks and villains, using our appearance to shock you. You're supposed to see us as evil, abusive, manipulative, and never worthy of redemption, because they don't expect for you to see those characters as human. If you can't think of any examples, check out the TV tropes article for Albinos are freaks.

I've experienced endless bullying and harassment, adults calling me disgusting and a freak, physical violence, and had my sunglasses and hat taken on multiple occasions (both are necessary for me to be able to see outside, essentially blinding me and leaving me downtown somewhere). I've been discriminated against so many times I can no longer remember each detail. This is what albino means to me: being subhuman.

I will never see albino as a positive word, even when people mean well. Getting people to care about us is like pulling teeth; I'm not saying this is a slur and you're a bad person if you ever say it. I'm asking for some common respect, and for you to learn about us before you talk about us and make your OCs based on more than just looks.

There's a lot more I could cover but ultimately I'd really like the word albino to fade out of our lexicon. I don't really care what you call animals, although albinistic is the scientific term.

Of course i don't speak for everyone with albinism. For more on that, here's a very short article about our various feelings on the word.

Eyo wtf is up with my island getting the butt ugliest villagers like

Shoutout to the time last night I saw Konig getting an execution on someone and I was like “oh I’m gonna go watch and invade his personal space to make him feel triumphant” only to quickly realize. No. We were not on the same team and in fact it was my teammate being executed
