Things I am at capacity for

[sqbr]

a) Science fiction by white people, specifically Americans, exploring the complex ethical question of whether or not slavery and/or genocide is actually always bad.
b) Inspiring and/or angry images with no descriptions about the importance of inclusion for disabled people, using a blind person's inspiring achievements as an example of what great things can happen if we just make a small effort towards accessibility. Bonus points if the person posting is themselves disabled, but not visually.

In general I feel like "inspiring visual works about blind people that clearly haven't even considered whether actual blind people can enjoy them" is a whole distinct genre. There's probably, like, people posting inspiring songs about Deaf people to soundcloud without lyrics/art installations up a flight of stairs about wheelchair users etc too, but blind people seem to get it the worst.

I really like your snarky sense of humour! :D

Alas, such things probably really do exist. :(

Almost certainly :/

I vividly remember an art event about disability culture up a flight of stairs. Can't be arsed to google it; do remember it was in the Bay Area (Sf/Berkely/Oakland) where there are many ppl who should know better.

I was about to say, "well nobody with my impairment gets put on a pedestal" BUT Laura Hillenbrand.

But they were SPREADING AWARENESS isn't that what MATTERS??
