if anyone needs to mute my blog because it’s stressing you out for any reason I don’t mind, I’d like to be able to say I’d consistently tag for politics and other “what even is this world” bullshit but it overlaps so much with memes/general conversation on here that I can’t promise I’ll reliably remember to do it
I DO try to consistently tag keywords for more specifically triggering content though
take care of yourselves first and foremost, I understand
What able bodied authors think I, an amputee and a wheelchair user, would want in a scifi setting:
- Tech that can regenerate my old meat legs.
- Robot legs that work just like meat legs and are functionally just meat legs but robot
- Literally anything that would mean I don’t have to use a wheelchair.
- If I do need to use a wheelchair, make it fly or able to “walk me” upstairs
What I actually want:
- Prosthetic covers that can change colour because I’m too indecisive to pick one colour/pattern for the next 5+ years.
- A leg that I can turn off (seriously, my above knee prosthetic has no off switch… just… why?)
- A leg that won’t have to get refitted every time I gain or loose weight.
- A wheelchair that I can teleport to me and legs I can teleport away when I’m too tierd to keep walking. And vice versa.
- In that same vein, legs I can teleport on instead of having to fiddle around with the sockets for half an hour.
- Prosthetic feet that don’t require me to wear shoes. F*ck shoes.
- Actually accessible architecture, which means when I do want to use my wheelchair, it’s not an issue.
- Prosthetic legs with dragon-claw feet instead of boring human feet or just digigrade prosthetics that are just as functional as normal human-shaped ones.
- A manual wheelchair with the option to lift my seat up like those scissor-lift things so I’m not eye-level with everyone’s butt on public transport/so I can reach the top shelf by myself.
- A prosthetic foot that lights up when it hits the ground like those children’s shoes.
Between Dracula Daily happening again and all the posts about enjoying old(er) media during the writers’ and actors’ strikes going on in Hollywood right now, I feel like there’s an opportunity for someone to organize a rewatch of some show, using the original air dates of the episodes as a guide.
I have too much life stuff going on right now to do it myself, but if you’ve heard of someone doing this (or you’re inspired to do it yourself), share in the notes?
btw. your search for the most morally upright and ethical piece of media that has the most correct “representation” will destroy your ability to find the most profound and beautiful and human of stories. and may even destroy the stories themselves before they are created. if you even care.
My craziest current tumblr fact is that if you click on someone’s username in a post thread it doesn’t take you to that post on their blog anymore, BUT if you click on the little divider line ABOVE their username it does
