I sometimes feel like my abuse isn’t Official Real Abuse
everyone else’s abuse is Real Abuse, but mine isn’t
and calling it “abuse” is unfair to people who have been through Real Abuse
so if you sometimes feel that way too
here I am, a person with Real Abuse
saying your abuse is Official Real Abuse
and you are allowed to call it “abuse”
because it is
you are very brave
I reblogged this by itself because it’s Very Fucking True
but just now I realized that this is also why people tend to think they’re not bi enough, not trans enough, not autistic enough, not Black enough, not depressed enough, etc. Because people are abused for being those things, and automatically feel like their experience is not bad enough to count.

You wanna know something that really irks me?
That when ableists see an autistic person saying something on Tumblr, they immediately assume they must be “high functioning” and therefore cannot have a valid opinion on stuff about autism
Here’s a newsflash. The ones you describe as “low functioning”? Many of them can type! Many of them can communicate even if they can’t physically speak. Never just make assumptions immediately just because the person can’t physically speak, because that’s ableist as heck

I think if I were to tl;dr my opinion I would say… absolutely make sure people are going about SJ in a way that’s humane and focuses a lot less on guilt and punishment, but don’t forget that in the real world oppression still exists
@quill-of-thoth – There’s actually no drain to handle rain runoff back there at all, as handy as it might be sometimes. But, I’m definitely glad it’s just rainwater and not also backed-up kitchen drains now👍 That metal cover the water was coming up from is just an inspection cover for the house drains. The pavement slopes away from it, especially into that one corner.
Worst case, now I know you can take the lid off and sweep water into the hole if necessary! Never actually had any reason to open it before the water company guy came and had to poke around in there. The standing rain should eventually soak into the ground through the pavement cracks, though.
The patio setup in general seems like just another in the collection of DIY Don’ts from some previous owner. Planning for drainage? Using one of those fancy levels? Who has time for such nonsense?! 🙄
A couple of bad shots with some of the bubbles I mentioned earlier. Not foam, but more like somebody took a bubble wand and blew bubbles onto the surface.
It’s coming down too hard now for there to be as many at a time as earlier, plus that detergent is no doubt getting diluted more all the time. There were way more at a time earlier today, and it was kind of interesting to watch.
