I Don't Think People Take Me Too Serious When I Say I'm Legally Blind. Like, Guys I Am Legally Never

i don't think people take me too serious when i say i'm legally blind. Like, guys I am legally never allowed to drive, I need assistance with a lot of stuff because I can't see. People both irl and online tend to be like "oh but you're not THAT BAD OFF" it's not a thing of whether my eyes are "that bad off" it doesn't matter, they're still blind. i still use magnifying and screen readers. i'm learning braille because my eyes are getting progressively worse and I'd like to be able to still read.

I may not be totally blind, but that's the thing, a lot of blind people AREN'T Totally blind. Blindness is a spectrum. and i don't think a lot of people realize that. And I'm just as valid in my blindness as someone on the spectrum with better eyesight than me, or someone with worse.

(This is OK to reblog. I hope that sighted people who might read this really get it into their heads that blindness is a spectrum...)

In my biology lab classes:

Look at this cool living stuff! Today we’re dissecting flowers! What do you mean you won’t pipet by mouth? Yeah, wash your hands, don’t spill the microbes.

Would you like to taste this edible fungus? Or this edible plant?

In my chemistry lab classes:

So this is the concentrated acid and this other chemical will give you cancer and this one is highly flammable and might explode….

Always wear safety glasses and gloves and clothes that cover your body (in case you spill something corrosive or toxic) but aren’t too tight (so you can get them off fast in the event of Dangerous Chemical Spill) or too loose (so they won’t drag and catch on fire). NEVER EVER PIPET BY MOUTH OR TASTE ANYTHING OR EVEN SMELL ANYTHING BECAUSE DOING THAT MIGHT KILL YOU. Fires happen in the lab, let’s hope we don’t have any this semester!

Oakie dokie (lol), the poll closes at 4pm today! Please vote for this acorn, I am unreasonably invested. I will post a piece of my art for every new Oakie vote this post gets (please like or comment if you vote so I know)! If you’ve already voted, you can vote again- each voter can vote every 12 hours.

Tumblr people, can I ask something weird? Can I ask you to vote in a popular tournament poll…. Not on this hellsite? 🥺👉👈

Mascot Madness - SUNY
suny.edu
SUNY Mascot Madness is the battle to decide New York's favorite college mascot.

My school’s mascot is Oakie the Acorn, and they’re probably the Tumblr-est mascot you could think of.

Oakie the Acorn, a yellow acorn with a brown cap, green arms and legs and a cartoon face.

I mean, they’re an acorn for goodness’ sake, they’re officially non-binary, and they’re all about sustainability. The school they represent is also very tumblr- SUNY ESF is a school dedicated to saving the Earth, and its student culture makes it a place where the genders are queer and the neuros are divergent :) People just stop to stare at a weird mushroom or interesting insect all the time here, and if someone spots them, instead of ridicule, you’ll probably have two people staring.

In conclusion, vote for Oakie!

I, uh, might do that… except I’d probably worry too much about the welfare of the bugs.

Me walking around with a “Free Bugs” T-shirt and when people ask I point out all the little guys around them and tell them which ones are introduced species that they can totally just grab off the street and keep as pets

walking around with a “Free Bugs” tshirt and cargo pants with a lot of very full pockets that are visibly writhing

Okay, I do enjoy and appreciate Rosalina. But Shade Lord has a special place in my heart. Not only are they the most powerful being in their world, the God of Gods, the incarnation of Void and Nothingness itself…. but they’re also Just A Little (agender) Guy! Look at this cute little bug!

An image of the Knight from Hollow Knight, a small humanoid bug-like creature. It has a white, skull-like head with two large, entirely black  eyes and two forked horns. The rest of their body is entirely black and mostly covered by their blue-gray cloak. They carry a sword-like weapon.

Now behold their true Shade Lord form!

An enormous black shadowy entity rising up from below the frame. It has eight eyes in four sets of two and four arms with clawed hands. It has several large horns on its head, some of which are shadowy and indistinct.

They have such swag, vote for this creepy-cute darkness deity :)

This is a piece I did for an art class a few years ago using pastels, and I’m still really proud of it!

Neurodivergent obsessions

Hi, we're the River System! Katlyn (she/they) and Jacob (he/him). Came for the fandoms, stayed for the off-the-wall and the cringe. 22, autistic (language abled and low support needs), Environmental Biology major. Actual Mad Scientists ;) [We do science and don't do sanity!] Mostly this is Katlyn obsessing over bugs and fandoms (Undertale, Hollow Knight, Little Nightmares, Fire Emblem: Awakening, RWBY, Arcane). Also may include photography, dark aesthetics, and general chaos from Jacob. (Cover photo by Sagar Patil on Unsplash)
